The Kiosk is closed at the moment but you can still enjoy good views of the river and if lucky see a narrow boat passing the lock.

Great pit stop for coffee and cake. No indoor seating but plenty of outdoor seating round the back and covered seating with blankets and heaters round the front. Cake is TASTY!
