Fantastic place, been coming here for about 8 years, the food is so nice and quite good value, our first time here we were expecting to pay a lot more than we did as the food was excellent, never had a bad meal and always enjoyed a lovely walk afterwards. We love it that much we call it our secret date place... Fantastic, love it, don't ever change, staff are always amazing too. ☺️

Food was very good, service slow, app wouldn’t work so had to wait to be served and never got our second round of drinks.

Janet Bennett

Excellent meals and service, shame that they have stopped taking table reservations, that was the one good thing about COVID you were assured of a table, instead of a free fir all.

Foirst time we had used the Ragley Boat Stop. Pleanty of places to sit outside-a bit more shaded areas would of been appreciated. Food was good, and good value. Our waiter Josh was lovely and charming. Quick service, would come again.

We called at Ragley Boat Stop on the first day of our narrow boating holiday and were so impressed we booked again for the last night too. The food was lovely, we had the Bistro steak on the 2 mains and a bottle of wine for £18.99 and steak was beautiful. We felt very welcome and the staff were polite and friendly. To top it all they are dog friendly and even provided a bowl of water and some dog biscuits. The moorings are great and free of charge if you buy a meal. We will definitely be back. I have only voted the atmosphere down because in the current situation getting an atmosphere is nearly impossible and that is nothing to do with the pub itself.

Good food service was very efficient

We were requested to download and use the app. Navigating that app was very time consuming. As someone else was paying we weren't able to complete the purchase using the app. In all it took 1 hour before we even managed to get a drink. Instructions from staff were unclear. The steaks were ok but overdone. My order came with potatoes and green beans instead of chips which I ordered. That said, the new potatoes and beans were lovely. Other people seemed to be having similar problems ordering. Such a shame as lovely setting and lovely outdoor area.
