"New" canalside restaurant at Whilton Locks

Coming down the Buckby/Whilton locks today, sharing the entire flight with Lindy Lue, we saw a canalside restaurant I don't remember seeing two months ago.

It's on the offside between locks 11 and 12. The banner gives no contact information, but a quick internet search shows that it is part of the Whilton Locks Garden Village.

Perhaps it's been there for ages but without advertising its presence to passing boaters. There is no mooring outside.

At the bottom lock were more blue CRT banners spoiling the balance beams. This one was stapled on. Not the best idea: one day someone will pierce their hand on a loose staple.

Below the locks we passed the old and new pair of Bakewell and Poshratz.



We tied up at Weedon and went to the Brinjol Indian restaurant as it was their banquet night. Good food. And very good value.
