Interesting place, although you are on the water the seating area is attached to the dock so does not move…the ‘barge’ has a bar & pizza oven.
No other food options other than pizza.
Pizzas are lovely. Tables cannot be moved as they are attached to the dock. Staff were chatty & attentive. There is no toilet, but MacDonald’s is across the road (toilets there are upstairs)
They are is central to the river, town & theatres.
We only popped in for a cup of tea as our children’s feet was aching from walking today! However from just being in there a short time you could see how friendly the staff are and how good the place is.
At one point we was even offered a free slice of freshly cooked pizza that looked delicious! We had already eaten but we will definitely be back to try it!
Had a great evening here. Pizza handmade and stone baked whilst you wait. Wonderful atmosphere right on the canal.
After 18 hrs travelling from home in SA, we met up with a UK friend at The Barge and Quarterdeck. What a special place and special people. Although I don't think they
typically do bookings, they accommodated us after a call to mention our circumstances (a tired 87 year old in tow that we couldnt drag place to place after that 'commute'), and when we got unavoidably delayed were lovely about it. Gary a genuinely engaged and interested host, we enjoyed the chat! And the bonus on the top was really outstanding pizzas (have the brie special!!) with impressively quick delivery for a busy touristy sunshine-y Saturday! I'd go back in a heartbeat.
What a great experience! Pizza and beer on a barge! Pizza made in front of you and absolutely delicious. Good beer and coffee options. Staff excellent. All good value. Love it.
A nice floating barge, moored up opposite The Encore pub, serving 4 Windmill hill ales, plus meals

I would highly recommend The Barge and Quarterdeck when in/near Stratford-upon-Avon. The Wood Fired Pizzas are scrumptiously yummy, with a very nice thin base. A variety of drinks and snacks are available too, and we started off with Pimms. The setting on the busy square near the river is just perfect for enjoying the vibe of this quintessentially English town, made famous as the birthplace of Shakespeare. The customer service absolutely superb. Manager Gary is a perfect host, accommodating & welcoming. A close South African friend, accompanied by her 87 yr old mum, and I had a short window of opportunity to meet up during their fleeting UK visit. The Barge & Quarterdeck doesn't normally take bookings, yet planning ahead and explaining the situation to Gary, he didn't hesitate and kindly reserved the table for us for Saturday lunchtime. He then also held the table for us when I phoned up to say my friends had been delayed coming from Heathrow, and I had totally underestimated traffic and parking in Stratford-upon-Avon. He appreciated the upfront planning and being kept informed, so all turned out great in the end. Throughout our visit, Gary came to check in on us and he added to the pleasure of our short but very enjoyable meet-up! After my friends left to continue their journey, I did some sightseeing, then returned to The B&Q for fueling up again, and Gary was still on top form. Why can't customer service not always be this amazing?!
Pretty good pizzas and a good drinks selection. The food is cooked on board but all seating is on the quayside beside the boat. They weren't particularly busy when we went and our pizzas were ready in under 10 minutes.
Pizza was great, good ingredients and nice thin crispy base! Will be back.
Beautiful setting, atmosphere and supers pizzas. A must place to sit and chill listening to live music. Chef brilliant. 😍😋😍😋
