- Noooo! The UK government has closed all the pubs in England but don’t worry I’ve got plenty lined up for us to visit virtually as we crank it up north from Wolverhampton.

I love your canal boat travels and sharing your experiences as you navigate around the country. Rather a lot of pub time innit. I used to be a social drinker, then realized I was drinking socially 24 / 7. I appreciate your love of the finer real ales though, cheers!
The way this Covid is going forget about Pub of the week, as there will be no more PUBS left to have a Pub of the week in!!
Pubs will survive, it's the big chains who will find it difficult.
So funny watching this in New Zealand as we still.have these rules when going out to pubs, shops etc. I cant wait to be back in the UK cruising the canals
Will look forward to the Great Haywood bit, I was born there in my Grandmother's cottage a loooooong time ago, never lived there although spent many holidays there as a child frequently down by the canal and river, have some photos too in the 1950s.
The Anchor at Cross Green was a very convenient overnight eatery/stop back in the late 70's when I first cruised the S & W. Been back in two or three times on subsequent cruises. I seem to recall that the bank then was solid concrete slabs, subject to quite a bit of movement making a somewhat uneven & irregular walkway.
100% agree Robbie
I am missing my pub of the week
Great to see you again on our screens.
Keep safe and dry and virus free.
Hi Robbie,
Just to say, I caught up with your BBC series recently, thanks to CZcams - I live overseas and couldn’t get it on IPlayer. I thought it was wonderful. I was so glad you/they hadn’t given into the temptation of making the series driven by “jeopardy” or challenge as so many are. It reflected your Vlog really well and was beautifully planned and produced. Bravo, and thank you.
Rob
Cheers Rob that’s exactly what we were trying to achieve so thank you!!
We were at The Anchor Inn a couple of weeks ago - twice. Once on the way out and also on the way back (we hired from Gailey). Food is absolutely gorgeous!
Your facial expression after you said "Back without falling in" made me wonder if you were thinking of what happened in a certain episode of Canal Boat Diaries!
I don't drink, but I still enjoy Pub of the Week :) Although mainly here for the boat and her crew :)
All the best young fella 🇨🇦 71+ yorkshire expat
I like the way you trained your pet heron to two-step to the Naughty Lass rhythmic beatz
I couldn't believe how narrow that canal was! Very fortunate not to have another boater coming the other way. Nice Pub...Meh, I don't know. Seemed like you were quickly shown the nice inside and quickly escorted to the back patio. Unless you asked to go there it seemed a bit off. Maybe I'm reading more into what I saw. Anyway, I wish you well on your journey. Love from The US, Cheers
Hi Eric yeah it’s a case of what goes on behind the camera! He signed me in before and asked where I wanted to sit, very good service but not quite POTW!
Shame about the adverts. i suppose inevitable.
Still loving your vlogs for relaxation Robbie. Thank you.
At the rate things are going it'll be 'Home-brew of the Week' ... I spotted our home-town on the map. Eventually we will go for that pint!!
Yep one day!!
Enjoyed watching Robbie , back of work again 🤣, I feel for people running pubs our local is not doing to good , we help alot by going in every day when open 🤣🤣🤣 keep safe 😎🍷🍷
Thanks Robbie! I really enjoyed the great quality of the vlog. I miss pub of the week too,great feature. Please could we have a pub of the week compilation to celebrate the great pubs you have visited ,to keep us going? 🙂
That’s a great idea but you will definitely have more to come soon as I’m about 6 vlogs behind 😩😂
Might have to switch to the 'best looking pub from the outside' pub of the week for awhile.
The pub (and bars) are getting shut down here too. In Arizona. So it has become more of the beer of the week at home. Or bottle of wine at home. Not many people to talk to. Just one to be exact. We will soldier thru it somehow.
They had Moonshine on, but being made to sit outside a half empty pub was a bit much so I wont be calling in if I ever pass by.
The S&W was the very first canal I travelled on in 1972. We hired a boat from a company in Great Haywood and travelled down through Stourport onto the River Seven and back again. Your video brought back so many wonderful memories. The filming and commentary were excellent. Thanks Robbie. Pub of The Week? - I think this is going to get more difficult to find as time goes on.
We'll be losing our Cumbrian village pubs at this rate. Between lockdowns, ours had a half of the original custom. Now closed on a 2nd lockdown and with Winter hitting soon, I can't see many surviving.Totally unnecessary, as everyone was following the rules. Missing the couple of pints of Swan Blonde or Golden Plover on the way home from a gruelling day on the building site.
My local City pub sometimes has that UBU bitter that I spotted on your The Anchor pub visit , it's a decent pint. I moored just up from The Anchor one cold January evening ten or more years ago so it brought back good memories. Thanks as always.
Robbie I just found your vlogs and have binge watched most of them this weekend. What a great time I had riding along with you and the Crank It Crew! Amazing vlogs! I love that you are showing some of the grittier side of real life on the canals as well as the beauty. You’ve got this new viewer hooked, keep cranking 🥰😂. Cheers from America
Hi Robbie john from Nottingham... New Zealand (still). It's about time that UK government got the Idea of lock down over over this virus. In NZ we went through that as Aussie did too. But as a counsellor my work has doubled, Addiction, mental Health and Depression being the number ONE issues. I hope soon, when I get through the issues to get back to the UK, I will continue my work on the canals. Cheers for now Robbie
Interesting thanks John
Yes love your video and I would love to do your canal trail.
Great Haywood, where my friends boat is moored, I know the area well. You will enjoy Tixell wide after the narrow section of the Staff and Worc later on your journey.
I went in the pub you did Robbie
as you say nice but not nice enough
Martian atmosphere
I only stopped for 1 pint.
Going back to boat design
Reverse layout puts your lounge a mid ships and therefore your stove a mid ships and therefore handy for bridges 🙂.
Stay safe mate and Pub of week can be on hold.
Cheers Peter what I was trying to say is that it won’t be on hold for you as you’ll still see them!
Beautiful heron!
Anchor pub it’s changed a bit since I was there last as we use to leave our boat in the marina near great Haywood stay safe nice video again
The very best Narrowboat Vlog!
We stopped at The Anchor on a canal trip, it's very popular. The Ubu beer was particularly nice; I had two or three with my meal!
Aye up Robster keep yer pecker up pal and much love from chesterfield.
one of the M&B lot, a bit on the wetherspoonsy side of things but with less Tim Martin ;) Nice Vlog dude, As a manager of a now closed for a month pub, it is indeed very worrying times!
All Hail the Man whose single goal it is to find Pub of The Week !!! NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT.
🍺🤨👍
Great review Robbie....roll on the next time you allowed to go to the pub again.....stay safe...thanks for sharing
Take care. Stay healthy :)
It is disgusting, the pubs have been shut for weeks now and still, COVID cases are rising so shutting the pubs made little difference, my landlord did everything he could to make his business COVID secure, he spent a small fortune and actually when beyond what was asked, we were told we were having a short 4-week circuit breaker lockdown we expected after the four weeks expired we could return to the pub, but no they really have stuck the knife into hospitality trade.
Hi Robbie, Wonderful video. Hope you are well. Things are on the mend here in the states. 🤞🤞🤞 they continue that way.
Well Rob, it was certainly my pub of the week, since it's the closest I'll get to one.
Good point well made 😭
Been to that pub a few times it’s ok but not pub of the week material typical chain pub.
Inspiration mate, love the videos... loved the canal boat diaries!. Shame about the pubs 😬. I actually work in the oldest inn in Lancashire, the scotch piper inn (est 1320)
You’re welcome mate thanks for the comment! Loved the Scotch Piper - visited roughly this time last year czcams.com/video/023llBlT7_4/video.html
Really interesting. Loved the glimpse of canal art.
Finally caught up. Yep I watched every single episode. lol. Thank you for making these! You're near the top of my list for patreon when my finances get better.
Ah cheers that’s great to hear thank you! 🤓👍
Pint of the good Irish stuff, hats off from an Irishman in Houston Texas USA
Robbie you missed not so much a Pub but a bar with great company at the very start of this journey. Just before you get to the Shroppie junction is Oxley wharf. When we came up from Gloucester we developed a problem with the electrics on Spook. We called there and Orph/Phil/Dave sorted the problem. The good news, in the evenings they have a nice little bar which gets well used by locals and has a great atmosphere with superb service by Orphs boss Janet. No real ales but Guiness and other keg kit. Next time check it out, all utilitys available. Happy landings matey.
Cheers Phil - would have loved to have stopped there but got spooked off by Orph’s telephone manner 😂
@@RobbieCumming Hes one of those gruff notherners Robbie. Hes good as gold though. Having said that my wife complains about my telephone manner, in fact my wife just complains .
I don't drink but I could do with a San Miguel right now. 😋 Have one on me please!!
Great vids keep it up. My local is back open Monday. Cheers
Is it? How come!
Beautiful area !!
My daughter owns a private pub in midstate new york, usa..all pubs are hurting here also. Thank goodness for take away. Martinis to go ! Will be watching for your return to " PUB OF THE WEEK" ..
Nice to have some semi-regular videos from you! Stay safe!
Once a week not regular enough eh?!!😉
@@RobbieCumming Just missing good videos. :-)
Its a great pub and you can see from the footage how careful and vigilant most pubs are.
I dont believe pubs like that were responsible for spreading virus and should have stayed open.
Unfortunately it was footage of crowded city pubs that were not being sensible that probably ruined it for the careful ones.
😥what more an be said ! But you’ve done a great job to encourage us all!👏👍🌟🍰🍻
Ah cheers Graham let’s hope so 👍
In years to come we'll tell our children there used to a thing called "a pub". Seriously, sad times but keep the faith, let's hope the good times return and good luck to all those struggling in the hospitality trade right now.
Hi Robbie how you that was a bit tight through there wow noway wide beam get close to it nice to see you on the move nice scenery as well ,take care keep safe in this second lockdown,John
Well maybe you can find bakery of the week. Or park of the week. In the interim. Or just place to get fresh air of the week :)
My chimney never comes off that easily! 😂
It might if you go under a low bridge?!
Heard a bunch of guys bought a £10 Easy Jet flight to get to the pub airside at Manchester Airport...They didn't take the flight! :p
Wow that’s... fair play to them
Abbeydale Brewery's - Moonshine was on hand pull! I would have seriously recommended a pint (or 8) of it. Up there amongst my favorites!
Think they would have been throwing me over the fence back to my boat at kicking out time!
Agreed, Abbeydale make some lovely beers
@@RobbieCumming spoilt round here lots of good ones, Abbeydale and Bradfield Brewery being a couple of the best. Plus a new one recently opened right on the canal side on the outskirts of Rotherham - even has moorings outside... If your in the area at any point don't forget the offer of a few pints is still there for the advice when I started doing my vlogs! 🍺🍺🍺
Cheers mate that does sound good. Just remembered the Imperial in Mexborough hope that’ll survive, great pub and brewery all on same site
@@RobbieCumming Gorilla brewery is mexborough (just by Lidl), right on the canal... Not long been open, got a few bottles delivered to our boat last week as lockdown meant we couldn't go there.
Sure you won't want to reveal exact location, but you making it 'home' ok?
Cheers tbh had quite a few distractions but it’s all good I’ll get there!
Thanks Robbie. When the pubs come back it will be sad to see all the little privately owned pubs will be gone and only the chain pubs will be left.
Someone else in these comments said they thought it would be the other way round, with big chains struggling to survive but small independent pubs managing to muddle through. I do hope so.
Oh for the days of going into a pub you've never been in before, standing at the bar chatting shit with the locals!!!
Great video Robbie
Great vlog, we’ve missed them! What Dean failed to tell you in his earlier Guinness/Ubu comment, was that we stopped going in there when our elderly greyhound disgraced himself on the pub floor when he had a dicky tummy. PS Purity beers 🤟
Ha ha oh dear perhaps he or she had some ohno Ubu as well 😂
In the past, i've had to lay off beer for health reasons for six months. It tastes even better after the lay off.
top man wee need to order pizza as you said and order the onion ring sides KEEEP THEE BOOZERS OPEN
Haven't been to a pub since the merde hit the fan and seeing the rigmarole you had to go through to get a pint I don't think I'll be rushing back anytime soon. I'll leave it until 'the old normal' returns if ever! Feel for the poor old publicans mind, who will go to the wall thanks to our C19 policies.
We've visited The Anchor many times as we used to moor just up the cut from there at Hatherton Marina. Usually somewhere to moor up close to the pub and close to the village of Coven where there is a Co-Op and a chippy. Sitting outside at The Anchor watching the boats go past while downing a few pints of their well kept ales was always a pleasant experience. Good food there too. To be honest though mate, I can't quite get my head around you taking a Guiness when they had Ubu on draft! 🤷♂️ 😀 Take care and stay safe.
Ubu make my tummy go oh no 😂
@@RobbieCumming OK matey..that's the last thing you need on a boat! Best stick with the Guiness then! 😀 👍
@@t1n4444 #samplesizeofone 😂 #toeachtheirown
🤣👍
@@t1n4444 I'd have had a Doom Bar
How dare you, sir. You are a cad! Watching that was difficult. How can you torture us so much? (Joking) I miss my local greatly. I don't drink at home and watching that had me gagging for the company and beer at the Stags.
It looked to posh to be pub of the week. Nice but not a Pub. Great location.
Hi Robbie, I moored at same place back in September this year on my journey to Shropshire Union and now isolating on Llangollen.
I thought the pub had ok beers, but lacked friendly locals as it was more a destination pub.
Let me know your favourite Llangollen pub on Welsh section?? hopefully not long before I can go there and try them out🍺🍺
Yes, definitely no locals to give it that sense of community. Not been on the Llangollen yet 😱
Aussie boater rings a bell i feel like i have crossed paths at somepoint XD
I’ve met him, lovely guy. He has a CZcams channel too! m.czcams.com/channels/jCxO8yp0_VF0zaiQQF3hJw.html
How exactly does one consume a beverage with that ridiculous thing on their face🤔
Can you please sing the pub of the week jingle occasionally to errrrrr remind us of more normal ish times lol
Cheer Rob
Of course 😂
This covid is getting old real quick. If more of the Pubs are having to close up because of covid perhaps you could do a 'Pub-lite' of the week? While not a true POTW, any review good or otherwise is a free advert for them and may just keep them from going out of business. Or you could do a Micro-brew of the week, sampling some local brews and which pubs they are sold from. There have been a lot of places here in the states, "great little mom and shops", which have gone out of business for lack of a steady customer flow.
Will do cheers Paul!
As always love from a Todmorden boy stuck in Canada. All the best through these times.
Cheers Michael 🤓👍
Get some beer and snacks from Tesco.
enjoyed the vlog
Chimney shimmying.. It's all gone a bit Mary Poppins :-/
Ah Robbie where's your Rhond anchor? They're great for home defense...
I knew what your reaction was going to be before you said anything. I have been to the Anchor a while ago. Is it one of the chain pubs, I kind of remember it being one? They are always nice, but never a real pub, if you know what I mean.
Yeah it’s a Vintage Inns good service but yeah lacking that POTW magic!
@@RobbieCumming Obviously not changed much since I was last there.
When does the second series of Canal Boat Diaries start on BBC ?
I don’t know yet sorry!
Guinness? Guiness? It's a decent enough bevy, but think of all the local craft beers, real ale, the Right Stuff you passed by! Tragedy! Bet you there were several other stouts that weren't made in a mega factory near Dublin.
Was a bit rushed to be honest
@@RobbieCumming Just joshing ya. Its almost like they didnt want your custom.
You weren't going to spend 30 quid so out the door you go. Same in states, bartenders size you up, put you where you'll do the least damage.
Did you get a choice in, or outdoors? I would have kept walking if I had been shown me a seat outside at this time of year. Even if weathers nice, & sunny it still damp.
As I said I chose to be outside! 🤓👍
Great video! The video quality has improved out of sight? What device are you using?
Thanks although I have a way to go I think! It’s all filmed on an iPhone 11 Pro
@@RobbieCumming wow I asked you you the same question a couple of years ago and you told me iPhone 8 , l have an 11pro too now. Your footage is incredible, it feels like just one step away from actually being there. I can’t wait for the virtual reality hologram 😂 . I love your channel, I was brought up around the canal I. Leicester but have lived in Nz and Saudi since the 80s so your videos are hugely nostalgic for me.
Thanks so much that’s just bloody lovely to hear 🤓 3D cranking it 😂
Guinness? I thought you were a real ale man. Good to see you back anyway.
Nah I’m a lager lout! But I like all kinds of drinks and try to feature interesting ones on here whenever possible.
@@RobbieCumming So what's wrong with Doom Bar? Guinness is over rated unless your in Belfast.
I’m sure you could make/purchase a fold away bar for your boat Robbie?
Dress as a bartender 🤔 and have your ‘Pull out, Pub Mooring of the weeeeeeek Yeah!”
We could share some banter have a little sup and take in your, Pull out Pub mooring view...
Keep on cranking buddy
You’ll like the next vlog I think 😉
nice vlog
Keep your chin up enjoy what you have
And never question anything, right? #conditioned_to_be_apathetic
Fish n'chips of the week? 🤔
At 9.24 maybe a full pint would be something. If I swerved a full measure like that my customers would throw it back at me.
What do you mean?
@@RobbieCumming The head on that pint suggests it may not have been left to settle for long enough resulting in a larger head and less beer. I'd love to be pouring drinks right now; thank you for the mention of feeling for pubs and publicans.
Gotcha sounds like you’re very passionate about it too, always good to hear
nice pub, shame about our lockdown tho! that would have bn a perfect pub of the week... ah well ☹️😷
Aah so no sign = 14 day mooring.
Totally off-topic Robbie, when you came south through York did you go back through Selby lock and if so did you handle it like a "BOSS" LOL or was it scarey, i have seen you coming out of selby lock onto the ouse but not the other way on any of your vlogs.
Yeah I must’ve done ha ha!
Seemed an ok pub...... Have a question, how much solar has the boat now got?
Still 3 x 100w
@@RobbieCumming Thanks, we think we have the same ones and have no idea what they do.
No more Pub of the Week eh : Ok What about "Gosh that used to be a good Pub that One" 🤔 Just trying to be helpful ? 😊
Thanks Mike it’s ok we’ll find a way around it!
Robbie, whatever happened to your cockney lady-friend with the dog? Atb 👍

Brilliant! I appreciate you taking the time Robbie. Thank you and take care.
Muzzle up and get back in your box, that's what the oligarchs want, and the public is blindly compliant and unquestioning, sadly.
The public is under the delusion COVID will be going away shortly, but the truth is elites plan on thrusting the scamdemic on us for years to come until average people are financially ruined and oligarchs control all the wealth. The CARES Act was the largest transfer of wealth to the rich IN HUMAN HISTORY, and still the public sees no red flags, that's how conditioned we've become to be blindly compliant as you say. It's disturbing to know better and watch this all play out.
@@MiamiVisor Yes, disturbing, sad, and downright pathetic.
Is it me or is the audio out of sync?
glad you made a comment,thought it was just me.
Tom, Bob - how are you guys listening to the audio? Through bluetooth speakers? Is it a certain section of the video or the whole thing?
@@RobbieCumming Hi Robbie, sorry to be picky but as an editor I picked up on it. All the pieces to camera are out of sync, all the way thru' by about 8 frames. I'm watching it on a Toshiba laptop with in-built speakers; all other videos play fine.
Yeah UK becomes police state
No worries Biden promised to get rid of covid! Hurray!
Ahh jolly good!
