Six Nations

The much anticipated Six Nations is upon us, and we are the ultimate destination to catch all the earth-shattering, mud-splattering, on-the-edge-of-your-seat action.

We’re showing all the live action, and with a match-worthy menu to boot, The Lockhouse is the only spot outside of the stadium to pitch up, settle down and tuck in.

The Lockhouse is a brilliant venue with a great view of the canal and fantastic atmosphere inside too. Me and some mates went for a couple cocktails and bites to eat; the staff were super friendly, the food and drinks were incredible – we had a cracking time. Would highly recommend!
