This beautiful couple have been visiting our pub since their first date when they were in their early 20โ€™s โค๏ธ๐Ÿฅ‚

With only 2 days until Youngs Day, we thought weโ€™d reflect on our history through the eyes of our customers.

Colette and Maurice started their story at the Isle Dโ€™Avon which later became the White Hart and finally the Lock Keeper as we know it. In a gentlemanly manner, Maurice ordered Colette a delicious fish dish however, soon learnt Coletteโ€™s hatred for fish ๐Ÿ™Š Off to a great start!

They made everlasting memories in the club downstairs, Barges, which is sadly no longer used due to the floods, but itโ€™s lovely to know the memories that still fill the room.

Colette and Maurice, thank you for sharing your special memories with us. We value your custom and friendship greatly ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿพ

We are still open and serving as usual despite the following. Unfortunately due to a water pipe bursting, part of the road on which we are located, has been temporarily closed. We are still open and accessible through Keynsham, however our lovely customers coming from Willsbridge will be affected by this, and will have to divert through longwell green, onto the A4174.
