The Davenport has struggled for years, even when it has done quite good reasonably priced food. I hope the new landlords can make a go of it this time. The Barbridge down the road certainly seems to have picked up - still has the winter to get through though.

 

Maybe I'll try the Davenport next week - there are plenty of visitor moorings just west of the bridge five minutes away.

I was told the new owners also own the local taxi firm ,the idea is to combine the two, so cutting down on overheads for both businesses ? ,this information was from someone who moors at Calveley .

Don't forget though Dave, the dredgers are working just beyond the moorings. Should be quieter mid week. Wish we'd have known about the Davenport last weekend, we'd have sampled their wares! We tried the Barbridge Inn instead. The food and service were excellent.

Good news about the Davenport, The comments about the Barbridge ,I would probably side with (Service and food ) but the beer for what is supposed to be a brewery tap is awfull ,last time there 2 beers were hazy and one was well past its best and should not have been on service

I'll stick to the G & T then, and the skipper tried 1 of the ales. not bad, but soon went onto the lager.

The beer must have been bad if the skipper went on to drink Eurofizz !!
