    The Boat is afloat !!…read more Nestled right up alongside the River Dee and recently reopened, the Boat has lost none of its charm or ambiance. I like the fact that they support the community around the area by buying their Beer and Produce locally whenever possible. Records date an Alehouse here right back to the 13th century and the interior decor reflects how the building has grown through the centuries.Lots of Oak beams and stone floors add buckets of character. You can choose one of the quiet corners for privacy or park up in one of the larger open areas and banter away or, weather permitting, take a table outside. Called in for lunch the other day and the menu, although not extensive, has everything for feeding all tastes from a wake-up morning coffee (open at 11am) to a refreshing pint of ale and home baked pie, or spend an easy evening with a fondue and some warm torn bread washed down with a pint of locally brewed traditional free house Cask Ale. They also have an excellent choice of Wines should you fancy a change. Once you have had your fill then ease down that food and drink by taking a riverside country walk!! The scenery is stunning. The great thing about 'The Boat' is that is a place for all seasons. When the weather is warm you can sit alongside the river and watch folk fishing for Trout, Salmon and Eel and may even catch a glimpse of the Otters who live on the opposite bank. When colder weather arrives you walk through the door to be welcomed by open log fires, and feel like you are home. Turning up here on a snowy Winters afternoon is a Dickensian delight. Word of warning - double check your directions before you set out as the Boat Inn is off the beaten track at the end of a long winding lane. ..... Maybe it should be called The One Way Inn ?

    What a secret little haven The Boat Inn is! It's only about 10 minutes from our house, but we…read moreliterally stumbled across it on one of our daily jaunts around the countryside. And what a lucky day for us! Charming snug of a place, the open fires, low ceilings and original beams transport you back to a simpler time. The staff is wonderfully warm and welcoming, with excellent food to back it up. A combination of traditional pub food and higher-end "gastro-pub" fare, you really can't go wrong here. And the portions are impressive-- beware if you're ordering a starter and main. You may not have room for their excellent desserts! Ample seating inside and out-- can't wait for warmer weather to sit outside at the picnic tables alongside the River Dee. The best inside seating is in the original building as opposed to the more modern conservatory (though it depends on your taste). Bookings are not necessary, but if you want a seat by the fire, definitely call ahead!

    Ahh, the Grapes is your traditional village-esque pub. The clientele are true locals and although…read moreat first looked at us as though we were slightly lost, welcomed us in with open arms. (Well, she smiled when she poured my drink.) It's busy and ringing with chatter, the races on in the background. There is a community vibe about the place. Everyone seems to know each other but are more than happy to involve you in their conversation. One guy told me that he scored a hat trick against Bill Shankly in his hay day and another bloke was telling the newest joke about Rooney and the shocking state of the England team which contained a swear word. He turned to me and apologised 'sorry, love! I used a naughty word', I half expected him to tip a top hat to me and send me back on my way to a place where there is only birdsong and laughter. What a thoughtful man, but it was a funny joke! A proper place for a pint and a chat.

    Neither majestic nor momentous, the Woolton Grapes (not to be confused with the Chinatown Grapes or…read morethe Mathew Street Grapes) is a pub that still oozes charm. Everyone here, from the skinhead barmaid to the Meatloaf lookalike to the coven of cackling oldies in the back corner, exudes a gentle insanity that you find it hard to resist. I've been here twice and both times were the epitome of the season they took place in. In winter, with snow blanketing the ground outside, I sat with my feet toasting by the roaring fire, discussing the situation in the Belgian Congo- either that or the new Expendables film. In summer, I sat drinking cider with the sunshine pouring through the window onto me. It's a place you can't help but feel at peace with the world in and I'd go there a lot more if the seasons occurred more regularly.
