The Boat Inn - Jackfield — Restaurant in England

Nice little pub by the river, extensive gardens. Coffee, tea and hot drinks available to take away. Good range of alcoholic beverages and plenty of ales and cider on tap. Free WiFi. Polite, respectful landlord. Well worth a visit.

UPDATE AUGUST 2025. Just taken a foreign friend to visit this traditional pub and she was enthralled. Being by the river, it has interesting high water marks which show that it's often been submerged!

Locals seem rather fond of ' shots ' , with...

Despite having been flooded a few times in the past, the pub's owners remain incredibly friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy a drink with friends or unwind after a busy day.

The pub’s popularity means it can get quite crowded, but that just adds to its charm. The staff are friendly and attentive, even during the busiest times. Hopefully, they’ve managed to address the flooding issues, but regardless, it’s still a fantastic local pub with a resilient spirit.

Overall, a lively, friendly pub worth visiting—especially if you enjoy a...
