The Lock Keeper is a riverside pub and restaurant on Keynsham Road in Keynsham, Bristol. The grade II listed building stands beside Keynsham Lock and traces its history back to 1719. A light filled conservatory, cosy interior and expansive beer garden provide different settings for meals throughout the year.
The kitchen focuses on fresh, seasonal British food and ingredients sourced from farmers and producers across the British Isles. Pub classics sit alongside lighter bites and changing specials, allowing the menu to respond to the local harvest. Familiar dishes are treated with enough detail to make the venue a dining destination as well as a neighbourhood pub.
Sunday roasts are a particular feature, combining slow roasted West Country meat with large Yorkshire puddings, roast accompaniments and proper gravy. Vegetable led dishes and smaller plates broaden the options at other times, while family friendly service makes the pub practical for mixed age groups. Guests with allergies should consult the current menu and speak with the team before ordering.
Local ale, lager, cider, seasonal wine and cocktails are joined by a considered range of low and no alcohol drinks. The garden is especially appealing after a riverside walk, and dogs are welcome. The Lock Keeper brings together the history of an old waterside pub, carefully sourced British cooking and one of Keynsham’s most attractive outdoor dining settings.
