Dating back as far as 1719, our Grade II listed lovely stands proudly on Keynsham Lock beside the banks of the River Avon. Now back open after a sympathetic refurbishment, the old dear is looking as charming as ever.

Step into our cosy abode to a beloved foodie haven, you’ll be greeted by the warm embrace of British classics, prepared with hand-picked ingredients at the peak of their freshness. Our menus celebrate the changing seasons, showcasing delightful specials that pay homage to local harvests.

Conveniently situated just a 10-minute drive from both Bristol and Bath, and just a 5-minute stroll to Keynsham Train Station.

The team can’t wait to welcome you.

There’s something magical about Christmas by the river. At the Lock Keeper, the twinkling lights reflect on the water, the pub feels that little bit cosier, and every glass raised with friends feels like part of a cherished tradition. Whether it’s a festive lunch with family, a toast to the year gone by, or an evening of laughter that lingers long after dessert, our Christmas season is all about those moments that make it truly special.

Gather your favourite people, tuck into plates brimming with seasonal flavours, and let the wintery riverside setting create the perfect backdrop for a celebration that feels both timeless and unforgettable.

It’s the season of crackling fires and cosy corners, when pints taste even better indoors, hearty roasts warm you through, and board games stretch out those lazy Sunday afternoons.

Whether you’re escaping the chill after a riverside walk or simply settling in for a slow day with friends, there’s nowhere better to be than tucked inside our pub, drink in hand, comfort food on the table, and all the time in the world.

The Lock Keeper is a great spot for those avoiding alcohol (whatever the reason!) With a dedicated 0% beer tap pouring top-quality options like Freedam Estrella 0.0%, you’ll always have a delicious alcohol-free choice. Plus, there are plenty of other low- and no-alcohol options to enjoy, so you can still soak up the lively pub atmosphere with a great drink in hand.
