We are happy to announce that we are continuing with our plans to open on Saturday 4th July, as our site and staff are all outside of the local lockdown borders.
In order to keep our staff and customers as safe as possible, we will unfortunately not be able to allow customers to visit who are travelling from within the lockdown borders until these restrictions have been lifted. This will be monitored with ID so please bring this with you
On arrival to our sites, you will be required to provide contact and address information as part of the track and trace system.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and hope that these restrictions can be lifted and normal service resume soon
Thank you for your support and understanding
Good news!!
As now announced by the government, we are allowed to open our doors from Saturday 4th July! We can’t thank everyone enough for your patience, kind words and messages of support throughout this time, and we are so excited to see our lovely customers again.
Going forward, there will be some changes to how we are operating at Foxton Locks Inn, and we want to let you know what you can expect to see going forward. We will continue to review the guidelines and government advice regularly, and may make changes in the coming weeks, but for now we are doing everything we can to keep our staff and customers safe while visiting our sites.
Foxton Locks opening times will be as follows for the foreseeable:
Sat 4th July – Boathouse open for drinks from 10am. Main pub open from 11am. Food served inside only in main pub 12pm-8pm.
Sun 5th July – Boathouse open for drinks from 10am. Main pub open from 11am. Food served inside only in main pub 12pm-7pm. There will be no carvery available for our opening week, but we do hope to bring this back as soon as possible.
Mon 6th – Fri 10th – Boathouse open for drinks from 10am. Main pub open from 11am. Food served inside only in main pub 12pm-7pm.
Our garden will be open for drinks only, and any customers wishing to eat will be required to make a booking for a table inside the main pub. We will be running a very small, very limited food menu for the time being, which we hope to increase again as soon as we can. You can contact us to make a booking on info@restaurantfoxtonlocks.co.uk or 0116 279 1515. For all those who have contacted us already, please bare with us, we will get back to you asap.
As well as the above, a one way system will be clearly marked out both inside the main pub and Boathouse, and in the garden. Our staff will be outside to meet you and queuing outside will be very likely, although we will try our best to get you seated inside as quickly as possible. Socially distancing of minimum 1 metre will be required by our staff and customers, and we hope you will help us in our efforts to make your visit as safe as possible for everyone
We hope to see you all soon 😊
In light of the current uncertainty surrounding the outbreak of Covid-19 and the effect it potentially will have in the near future on the hospitality industry, we have made the decision to make some changes to the opening hours of our sites.
With immediate effect, our sites will be open as follows for the remainder of this week. As the news and progress of the situation is ever changing, we will monitor these hours closely and notify you of any changes that are put in place going forward after this week:
The Swan Kibworth – open every evening from 5pm for drinks, with food being served from 5pm-9pm on Friday and Saturday evening
The Waterfront – open daily from 12-2.30pm & 5pm until normal closing time, food and drinks
Foxton Locks Inn – open daily from 10am – 4pm, with food being served from 12-3pm
Please note that our food menus in our sites that are still serving food will have a largely reduced menu on offer.
In light of these changes, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our Mother’s Day service at all of our sites. We regret that any existing bookings will now need to be cancelled, as we wish to act as responsibly and considerately of the health and safety of our staff and customers as much as we can.
That being said, Foxton Locks Inn and The Waterfront will remain open for people wishing to join us on Sunday 22nd on a walk ins only basis, where we will aim to accommodate as many people as possible in the safest way, and again we will be offering a limited food and drinks menu on the day.
For any customers who do wish to join us, please be assured that all of our sites have spacious seating and various areas for people to eat and drink, and we will do our very best to ensure that we are offering appropriate distancing and safe interaction with others wherever possible
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us directly at our sites on the contact numbers below:

The Waterfront 01858 434 702
Again, we thank our loyal customers for your continued support in these difficult times, and hope to see you very soon
Dear customers,
As we are all aware, COVID-19 is currently increasing in the UK, as well as many countries around the world. As our guests, want you to be confident in the knowledge that we have procedures in place for our staff to ensure that we are able to prevent and reduce the risk of being affected by the virus as much as we are able, and that the health and well-being of our team and customers is our main priority.
Our staff are fully aware of the requirements for keeping our standards of hygiene as high as possible throughout every aspect of our premises. Any member of staff who has family, friends, or themselves, recently returned from affected areas have been told not to come into their place of work and inform us immediately so that we are able to take action and follow guidance given by the Government and the NHS.
Please be assured that we are following all official advice given and will continue to follow any progress or changes to information on a daily basis, so that we are able to make any changes necessary with immediate effect.
Should you have any questions please contact us via email which can be found for each of our sites on our websites.
Thank you for your ongoing support and help with this matter, and we look forward to seeing you soon
