Dropped in on this little gem hoping to be able to spend some time painting pottery. We had a lovely friendly welcome and although it was quite full and we hadn’t booked they were able to accommodate us. I had my little boy with us who is not yet ready for a high chair but this wasn’t a problem at all! After ‘parking’ the pram downstairs we settled in upstairs and there was a lovely baby swing which we were able to use. A lovely touch and allowed me to have my hands free and for him to enjoy a swing! We had a fab time relaxing whilst painting our chosen pottery and enjoying a cuppa. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this lovely place for a great time with family and friends and especially children. They are so accommodating and go out of their way to help you. However I would suggest booking if you want a specific time or at busy periods.

There appears to be two ways of accessing the Shropshire Union Canal at Grindley Brook. The best way is via the Lockside Cafe on the left as one travels to Chester from Whitchurch. The other way is opposite the Horse and Jockey pub which is a little further along the road to Chester. The road is dangerous so be careful. The canal with locks is found along a path next the Texaco Garage. The locks themselves are narrow and deep so please also be careful around these.

Just finished a weekend break on the Llangollen Canal, travelling from Whitchurch to Ellesmere return. From the point of booking, the ABC staff were all extremely helpful and fun to deal with. Special thanks to Katie, Mark & Jason in particular! The boat itself (Great Crested Grebe) was immaculate, well stocked & incredibly comfortable for our party of 3 plus pooch. Will definitely be using these guys again!!

Recently visited for a walk with my husband and Labrador. I have specific allergies and spoke to a very helpful young lady called Alice who was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Food was to a high standard but service was excellent. Will definitely revisit with friends. PPE and COVID restrictions were clear and helpful, no concerns and nice to get out
