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.

On Thursday 18th September, our Young’s team will be walking 14.7 miles from Bath Brew House to King Street Brew House – but we won’t be going empty-handed. We’ll be transporting a barrel of Young’s beer the whole way, delivering it to be tapped at the finish line.

Why? We’re raising money for Maddy’s Mark, a charity dedicated to supporting the mental well-being of girls and young women through the power of sport. In partnership with Wooden Spoon, rugby’s children’s charity, Maddy’s Mark funds school programmes and club partnerships that build confidence, resilience, and community – all inspired by the incredible spirit of Maddy Lawrence.

Maddy was brave, passionate, and full of life. Help us honour her legacy by supporting this amazing cause. Whether you’re giving a little or a lot, your donation makes a difference.

Let’s raise a pint – and some funds – for Maddy.

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.
