On a trip out for Family business, we decided to go out for lunch, we had some of the children Nick, Jason and Mary with us, Jason recommended we visit a pub next to an area he had worked on as a Landscape Architect, the pub was the Hall & Woodhouse Wichelstowe which is on our map.
This pub is a little bit unique as sticking out the front is a canal boat, and behind is one of the remaining parts of the Wilts and Berks canal in which you can find a canal boat Dragonfly which it seems is available for hire from the Wilts and Berks Canal trust.
Jason had been involved after sorting out the exterior landscaping that included a footpath bridge over the canal.
The Pub, while clean and interesting looking was not the greatest for food, I had the Roast beef, which was not like the description, not much in the way of pink in the beef, and roasties left a lot to be desired, very soft no crispy crunch, but it was not expensive, and the décor was interesting and themed around the canal.
After our lunch we went for a quick walk along the canal, this is a short bit of canal and not connected as yet to anything else. It also seems to have sprung a leak at some time.
Even on a wet day it stills shows the potential the Wilts and Berks canal could have in the future if they can raise the money need to complete the project.
