The Lock Stock Barrel

We stopped to have lunch and found the staff very welcoming. Food was very enjoyable and it helps to be sat beside the canal when the suns out

What a rip off, £7.30 a pint of Neck Oil never paid more than £4.80 any where else, will never return, hate being rip off, plenty off better pubs charge much less, greedy landlord.

We had a day trip to Newbury earlier today and had lunch here. The location on the canal is fabulous, lunch was excellent and staff were very friendly and great service. Highly recommended to family and friends Speisekarte ansehen

Tucked away off the high street, setting very chilled under canopy and right on the river. (We were lucky as beautiful day to sit out) indoors looked just as good. Good choice of beers. Food very good and reasonable Staff friendly.

Food very average with very little choice. The drinks were well overpriced. The food potions were small . Dessert menu had two options and ice cream. It was like London prices but 60 miles away. The bunked seating is so crammed the food had to be handled down and to get out everyone has to move it’s crazy.

We always head to this pub during summer while on holiday. Great atmosphere and the food is consistently very good. You will find a choice of British faves cooked to perfection along with great beer. Dogs are welcome and sometimes there is live entertainment and board games for the family. Well planned out seating inside and outside alongside a pretty canal and flowers. It's a must if you are visiting Newbury! Speisekarte ansehen

We had such a wonderful time celebrating our 120th birthday party (ok, it was a joint 60th! at the Lock Stock and Barrel our favourite pub in Newbury. It was lovely to be somewhere with such a wonderful outside area as well as a very comfortable inside space. The food was delicious and Naomi and the whole team looked after us so well, we couldn’t have asked for more. We’d highly recommend anyone to have an event here and we can’t wait to do it all again sometime!

Fullers pubs traditionally had great food available. Proper pub food. Sadly the LSB has ordinary food. Too much cheap fried food, too many cheap ingredients. Flat breads made of cardboard. I'd rather pay more money for better quality, decent food doesn't have to cost a fortune. Amazing cheese though, they got their supplier for that spot on! On a happy note, lovely well kept Fullers beers. Sitting by the Kennet and Avon enjoying a pint in the sun is what it's all about. Lovely people working here that look after their guests as well as they look after their beers.

After a long day on our feet and with the sun coming out we decided The Lock Stock Barrel would be a lovely spot for a couple of drinks. We managed to get a good spot next to the canal and took a seat with our (over priced) IPAs. Unfortunately the glasses we were served our drinks in were very dirty, to the point where they look like they hadn't been washed at all the rim had some form of sticky residue around it, both inside and out. I went to the bar and politely asked the barmaid (possibly the bar manager) if it would be ok to swap them. She reacted very rudely to this enquiry and made it quite uncomfortable. She went though 6 more glasses before she found 2 clean glasses. She rudely pass... Speisekarte ansehen
