What an amazing idea. Lunch on a barge. It's like a Tardis inside. Plenty of room, friendly staff, very clean, excellent fish and chips (xl piece of fish). Well priced. And you can park almost next to it. There is also a takeaway window. Well done to all that created and work here. 10/10

Unique experience... it's not just called The Barge, it is a barge! Friendly service and tasty view. And a duck's eye view of Bude canal.

Lovely place for a lunch, cream tea or just of coffee. Very warm welcoming staff and a good selection of cakes. Seat in or out by the Quayside. Highly recommended.

Popped in to escape the rain and had a really tasty scone and hot chocolate. It's a small place so you do find yourself sitting very close to, or looking directly at, other people which is a little too close for me. But it's on a boat so its expected. The food was very well presented and the luxury hot chocolates were delicious. We had the biscoff hot chocolate. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

We have just returned from a late lunch on the barge and we all had a lovely experience and lovely food. There were 7 of us and 2 dogs and they accommodated us with no problem. The young girl who served us was so polite and attentive. The food was lovely and hot and the coffee was the best we'd had in a long time.

Really lovely cream tea, me and my family came here. The scone was nice, the cream and jam plentiful and a nice cup of tea. The two ladies that served us were nothing but friendly and smilie. If only we were local.
