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.

Wednesday 15th January

Join us for an evening of culinary discovery at our Game Night Supper Club. Enjoy a live butchery demonstration paired with a specially curated set menu crafted by our expert chefs.

Indulge in seasonal game dishes prepared with the finest fresh British ingredients. A night of flavour, theatre and impeccable hospitality.

January brings a new rhythm, and with it, our Winter Set Menu. A celebration of seasonal British ingredients crafted with care. From crisp, earthy winter vegetables to warming, slow-cooked comforts, each dish is designed to showcase the richness of the colder months.
Available Monday to Friday for both lunch and dinner: enjoy two courses for £19 or three for £23. A perfect way to start the new year.

Cosy up with our festive cocktails, the kind that make cold evenings feel a little warmer and instantly remind you of Christmases gone by. Think winter spices that smell like your nan’s kitchen, twinkly-light sparkle in every glass, and flavours that feel like unwrapping your favourite childhood treat.

It’s nostalgia you can sip.
Gather your favourite people, lean into the good cheer, and toast to the season, one delicious sip at a time (candy cane and all).

Thursday 18th December

It wouldn’t be Christmas without the sound of carols in our pub.

Join us on the decking as the Keynsham Brass Band return for their annual festive performance (a true Lock Keeper tradition).

Wrap up warm, grab a mulled cider (or two), and soak up the magic of the season as the music fills the air and the fairy lights twinkle over the water.

It’s one of our favourite nights of the year. Simple, joyful, and full of Christmas spirit.

Say goodbye to the old and welcome in the new at a place you know and love.

Join us by the river for a relaxed evening of great vibes, perfectly poured drinks, and that unmistakable Lock Keeper atmosphere (where laughter flows as easily as the cider).

No tickets, no fuss. Just good food, good company, and that cosy feeling that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

Here’s to new memories, fresh starts, and one unforgettable night at your favourite riverside local.

Cosy nights call for cocktails, and this winter our bar team have shaken up the perfect line-up.

From timeless signatures like the much-desired Espresso Martini to seasonal serves made to warm your spirits, there’s something for every mood. We also have mindful blends and 0% heroes, so you can sip all the flavour without the fuzz. Whether you’re going classic, curious, or alcohol-free, our winter cocktail list is worth raising a glass to.

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.
