I had breakfast, lunch and regular coffees at The Barge over the last two weeks whilst on holiday with my family. The food is excellent the coffee is superb and the staff are polite and outgoing and service is brilliant. The Barge is in a beautiful location and the well thought out interior design is superb. If you are in Bude make The Barge a must visit on your to do list.
Once you've finished enjoying the experience of this unique place, you can hire a boat from Bude Rowing Boats and explore the canal.
What an absolutely delightful venue! My husband and I visited today for our anniversary lunch. We were thrilled that our pooch was also welcome! We were warmly welcomed and shown to our table. The ambience was perfect, good range of food on offer and a wide range of drinks to choose from.
Service was excellent, and the food was really yummy!
I would thoroughly recommend a visit and will definitely return.
Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable.
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.
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
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.
Lovely experience at the barge with friends and their children. We had creams teas that where delicious. Staff where very friendly and helpful. Not too expensive. Definitely recommend a visit
So nice to relax with a lovely vegan hot chocolate drink, if you have never tried one you may well be very happaly surprised. The food looked really good as well.
Lovely relaxing place, just for a coffee or food. Both are excellent. Really friendly with great views of the canal.
Fantastic little cafe on a barge, with a solid fuel stove to warm us up having been caught in the rain. Cream tea was fantastic; really fresh warm scones. Remember, always jam first in Cornwall!
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.
Wow wow wow! This place is wonderful, delicious food, helpful staff and a great location to just pop in and have a cuppa!
Gorgeous little barge, very clean, comfortable, quaint and with a lovely atmosphere. The food (fish and chips and pasta with garlic bread) were the best we’d had in Cornwall, great quality and pricing. Staff were wonderful and the views out of the windows whilst dining are lovely. Highly recommend and would definitely return!
