Restaurant & Bar at Apsley Lock

The most friendly staff, food comes fast and it’s delicious

Such a beautiful place! Amazing food and fabulous staff!!! Can’t wait to come back!

Noticed it from Google Map and booked it for anniversary. It's surprisingly good and completely worth the review. Such nice food and welcoming staffs. I'm definitely coming back and even started to looking the properties nearby!

My 40th Birthday! I recently celebrated my 40th birthday at this bar, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Nicky, the manager, was absolutely fantastic from the very beginning—super organised, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making sure everything ran smoothly. She made the whole planning process effortless and the night itself unforgettable. The staff were just as amazing: friendly, attentive, and on top of every detail. The atmosphere was perfect—great music, a stylish yet relaxed vibe, and plenty of space for everyone to mingle and dance. My guests are still raving about how great the night felt! The drinks were another highlight. Whether it was cocktails, wine, or beer, everything was prepared beautifully, and the bartenders kept the service quick and upbeat. If you’re looking for a venue for a celebration, I can’t recommend this bar enough. With Nicky leading the team, you can count on an unforgettable experience. I’m already looking for an excuse to go back!

Service was amazing, accommodated our needs and dietary requests. Nice & quirky environment.

First time here and the service is outstanding and the food was amazing. Ad was so lovely and attentive and really took care of us! Kc was also so sweet and took good care of us. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. 10/10 😆

Had a really lovely brunch this morning-great food, friendly service and lovely venue. I will definitely be back!

A lovely place, food was great and service was spot on! Would highly recommend!

Perfect

Absolutely delicious food, and wonderful service. Even dug out some mustard for me even though it isn't on their usual condiment rosta. Definitely not one to miss if you're a passing boater!

We had a lovely evening at Darceys, the food and drinks were great and attentive service from our lovely waitress Mabel our experience just perfect! Will definitely return x

Lovely service through and through! The pizza was delicious specifically the pesto and mozzarella garlic bread. And the drinks were perfect. A lovely evening thank you!! Xx

Really beautiful place, waiter is super friendly. Menu has recently been expanded since the last time I went and the new pasta and pizza were both very good!

Great service, good laughs and solid banter about no ordering a pizza...will be a regular destination

Lovely place, a must for a Sunday brunch!

Went her for a nice branch and catch up with a friend an it did not disappoint. I got the veggie breakfast and everything was delicious. The service is exceptional and the staff are very friendly. I will be making another trip very soon.

Service was great. LOVED the patatas bravas and halloumi fries!

Lovely people and great coffee

Lovely atmosphere and spot for brunch. Great place to celebrate my mums birthday, they made her feel very special. thank you very much.

Great experience

Food was amazing and customer service too - especially Rosie!!

Rosie served us excellently, food was delicious had a stunning time!!

What an awesome find. Top notch food, amazing location and friendly staff, what more can you ask for?! Literally could of sat here all day! Had the breakfast menu and the ingredients we're quality, poached eggs cooked to perfection. Got so excited forgot to get a pic of mine, although the empty plate says it all.

As weekend visitors to the area we had to search online for somewhere for brunch. Having read previous positive reviews for Darcy’s we opted to give it a go and we were not disappointed. The warmest of welcomes from the second we walked through the door, faultless service throughout and fabulous food and coffee. The restaurant environment is lovely with lots of thoughtful touches whilst the outside tables have a fab view of the canal. In essence we couldn’t believe our luck to stumble on such a gem of a place.

Lovely service and delicious food!

great food! Great Staff ! Just a perfect evening! Rosey was awesome! Defo recommend

The ‘south African’ waiter, he’s so friendly. Food was amazing, drinks amazing. aesthetic amazing. Thank you so so much! The fried fish was soooo good. Thank you!!!

Lovely place to enjoy coffee and breakfast with friends, thank you!

Beautiful place, lovely service and helpful staff! Would recommend Lovely pasta and drinks! Will come again

Delicious pizzas! A new addition to the menu and they can't be faulted.

I went to Darcys for a work event, we had quite a large group and they were able to accommodate us for a bottomless brunch. The venue is gorgeous (totally instagrammable!), the food 5 star and the team could not do enough for us. Cocktails are a must when visiting, these are the real deal not out of a carton like you get with most places. Will definitely be returning and recommending to others!

Don't go to Costa for a Spanish latte. Go here!

Friendly atmosphere, helpful staff & lovely food.

First visit to Darcy’s great food and service, we will definitely be returning

Went for brunch at Darcy’s with the aim of curing a hangover - delicious food and great service certainly helped do the trick. Always a pleasure visiting this spot :)
