Wonderful atmosphere,beautiful food and amazing menu. Dietary needs met without question. Incredible pudding as a birthday surprise. Best Chinese we've had in Peterborough 🥣🍜
Absolutely amazing!
Best chinese food I've had in a long time
Staff very friendly and attentive, but not intrusive.
Wonderful atmosphere and views
Chinese restaurant on barge, what a great idea. Given that it was on water, we had little or no insects in the restaurant. The service was very good and the food was exceptional good. You can taste the spices in the food. The coke drinks was unfortunately flat for some reason. That is the minor negative.
Absolutely spot on, nice setting (if not a little rustic). Eight of us went for the set menu and we couldn't fault a dish. Crispy where it should be crispy, succulent where it should tender and fantastic value at 16.50 a head.

The Grain Barge is a lovely location in the centre of Peterborough for a tasty Chinese meal. As you can tell from the name the restaurant is in a converted barge which is permanently moored on the River Nene.
The restaurant comfortably seats around 50 guests on tables of 2-4 seats but tables could be pushed together for larger parties. The menu is standard for a Chinese restaurant with all the usual favourites. Upon being seated there was a plate of prawn crackers to enjoy. We opted to share the set menu priced at £16.50 per head. For this we had a sharing platter of mixed starters which included crispy seaweed, ribs, satay chicken, filled dumplings and prawn toast with a whole prawn on top. Next there was half a duck to share with the usual accompaniments. Then there were three main dishes, one of beef, one of chicken and a third of pork together with egg fried rice. By the end of all that we were both quite full so opted against any dessert. I had two pints of Carlsberg and my wife had a large diet coke. All together the bill came to £43 which seemed reasonable to me.
The service was excellent with the staff being attentive but not overly so. We dined at 5pm on a Saturday evening and were the first customers of the evening but by the time we were leaving around 6.15 the restaurant was over half full. We had booked a reservation beforehand.
Based on my experience I would heartily recommend this restaurant and look forward to being able to return again.
Great evening with friends! Been before and enjoyed it so we went again and were happy. Good service, food and comfortable atmosphere 😊
Lovely setting, friendly staff and good prices. Most importantly the food is delicious, I'd definitely recommend.
