Iconic Keynsham Local Pub

Dating back as far is 1719, our Grade II listed lovely stands proudly on Keynsham Lock beside banks of the River Avon. Now back open after a sympathetic refurbishment, the old dear is looking as charming as ever.

Step into our cosy abode to a beloved foodie haven, you’ll be greeted by the warm embrace of British classics, prepared with hand-picked ingredients at the peak of their freshness. Our menus celebrate the changing seasons, showcasing delightful specials that pay homage to local harvests.

Conveniently situated just a 10-minute drive from both Bristol and Bath, and just a 5-minute stroll to Keynsham Train Station.

Pete and the team can’t wait to welcome you.

Riverside Dining

We proudly showcase the rich array of ingredients sourced from the British Isles throughout our menus. Our skilled Head Chef brings each ingredient to life with the signature ‘Locky’ flair that defines our dishes. Surrounded by leafy loveliness, our expansive riverside beer garden is a must-visit during the warmer months, offering the ideal setting for drinks or a delightful al-fresco dining experience.

Dog Friendly Pub

Muddy boots and muddy paws are welcome. Situated on the beautiful River Avon, there are an abundance of scenic paths and riverside walks to enjoy – it’s a dog walkers heaven. Be sure to head back to the pub for a hearty feast and a few local ales – you know you’ve earned it.

Sumptuous Sundays

For us Sunday our roasts are sacred, (in fact, we’d go as far to say as they’re probably the best in the world) think succulent cuts of slow-roasted West-Country beef, larger-than-life Yorkies and boat loads of chef’s proper gravy.

Testimonials

Took my daughter to lunch here on Thursday, we have been several times before and always enjoy it. The staff were exceptional warm, welcoming and helpful, a great meal, lovely atmosphere and surroundings and reasonably priced. If you are in the Keynsham or even Bristol area I recommend a visit. Child and dog friendly too.

Popped by the Lock Keeper for lunch following a local walk. We hadn’t made a reservation and they did have a huge booking already, but the staff made the extra effort to get us in. Food was outstanding and the service was friendly and prompt.

Kelly S via TripAdvisor

Very good location and atmosphere. We had a lovely time in their beautiful garden. Good choice for vegetarians. Special thanks to Antonio who looked after us so well. We'll definitely be back soon.
