Lockside Cafe

We only stopped for a tea and coffee. We seen the gorgeous cakes in the chiller, well what can I say. My husband had apple pie and I had the blacurrant and prosecco cheesecake. They were both really good. We had a little walk up and down the Loch. Lovely afternoon out.

First time visit to Lockside Cafe. Staff are lovely. Lovely building in a picturesque setting next to the Shropshire Union Canal and staircase locks. Our food was very tasty. Nice selection of meals/snacks available at reasonable prices. Seating outside which is ideal for watching the barges come and go. Also a garden and children’s play area at the rear. We walked along the canal path under the bridge and met a couple of interesting people magnet fishing in the canal. A lovely place to relax and enjoy the scenery.

An accidental but happy find! Good coffee, perfectly toasted toast and totally dog friendly. Staff were helpful and welcoming. Toilets are immaculate. Outside seating is plentiful and tables are clean. Great spot to pass the time watching the boats on the staircase locks.

Cute little canal-side cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. We bought some coffee, ice cream, dog ice cream and a slice of cake. It was quite expensive, however, all the cakes looked lovely, the ice cream was really nice and the dogs loved their ice cream!

Wanted to stop off here for a while and so glad we did! A great location next to the canal side, we really enjoyed sitting out in the sun, watching the boats work their way through the locks. The service was good, the food excellent, loved the king prawn salad, really fresh!

Lovely little cafe on the canal side by the locks. Had a lovely cheese toastie and cuppa. Good service and nicely presented with a side salad and tortilla crisps. We came to support this little business after the canal incident just before Christmas, which is going to leave this stretch of canal closed for several months and therefore affect trade for the cafe .
