Iconic Keynsham Local Pub

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.

Summer Spritz are here

From timeless favourites like a much-desired Hugo Spritz to seasonal serves made for sunny days, there’s something for every mood. We also offer mindful blends and 0% heroes, so you can enjoy all the flavour without the buzz.

Whether you’re going classic, curious, or alcohol-free, it’s always a good time to raise a glass.

Sunday Roasts in Keynsham

Full on spring/summer roast in keynsham by the river avon

Slow Sundays start here. Settle in by the River Avon in our light-filled conservatory, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy a roast worth lingering over.

Think juicy cuts, golden roasties, fluffy Yorkshire puddings, and plenty of proper gravy – all best enjoyed with good company and a long afternoon ahead. And if you’ve got room, there’s always a pudding worth staying for.

Spring at the Pub

Rose wine with fresh seasoanl food

It’s the season of gentle sunshine and longer days, when pints taste even better with friends, fresh roasts and seasonal dishes bring comfort, and board games stretch out those leisurely Sunday afternoons.

Whether you’re returning from a riverside stroll or simply enjoying a slow day with company, there’s nowhere better to be than in our pub – drink in hand, delicious food on the table, and all the time in the world.

Non Alcoholic Drinks

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.

Our Charming Keynsham Local

Everything you love about a ‘proper’ pub – right here in the heart of Keynsham. As the days grow longer, step inside our light-filled conservatory or find a cozy corner to enjoy classic British dishes alongside a perfectly poured pint, a glass of wine, or a refreshing seasonal tipple.

We’re all about bringing people together, so look forward to our regular community events – from lively pub quizzes to fun-filled fundraisers and those feel-good Sunday roasts that make weekends special.

Dog Friendly Pub

Muddy boots and muddy paws are welcome. Situated on the beautiful River Avon, there are an abundance of scenic paths and riverside walks to enjoy – it’s a dog walkers heaven. Be sure to head back to the pub for a feast and a few local ales – you know you’ve earned it.

Sumptuous Sundays

For us Sunday our roasts are sacred, (in fact, we’d go as far to say as they’re probably the best in the world) think succulent cuts of slow-roasted West-Country beef, larger-than-life Yorkies and boat loads of chef’s proper gravy.

Testimonials

Took my daughter to lunch here on Thursday, we have been several times before and always enjoy it. The staff were exceptional warm, welcoming and helpful, a great meal, lovely atmosphere and surroundings and reasonably priced. If you are in the Keynsham or even Bristol area I recommend a visit. Child and dog friendly too.

Popped by the Lock Keeper for lunch following a local walk. We hadn’t made a reservation and they did have a huge booking already, but the staff made the extra effort to get us in. Food was outstanding and the service was friendly and prompt.

Kelly S via TripAdvisor

Very good location and atmosphere. We had a lovely time in their beautiful garden. Good choice for vegetarians. Special thanks to Antonio who looked after us so well. We'll definitely be back soon.
