    This was an unusual.venue. The gardens and upper decks were heaving on a warmish Saturday evening. The main restaurant area wasn't so busy but good in that we were able to have a table for 4 for the 2 of us and we could hear each other talk. We really enjoyed the oyster and the croquettes and the pork t bone was better than.the monkfish which looked nicer than it tasted. (Personal opinion). Probably not worth having the salad leaves side but the potato gallete was great. Overall, pretty good all washed down with a bottle of rose. £114 for 2

    The other day, I had dinner with friends at Barge East. When I first arrived in the evening, I thought the place was closed or empty. But as soon as I stepped inside, I was blown away by the ambiance they had created on the boat. The lights and candles set such a cozy, magical atmosphere that we instantly fell in love with it. I was especially happy to find draft beer on such a small boat. Every dish we tried was amazing, with each bite offering a different burst of flavor. We started with focaccia, which came with a mushroom butter that was absolutely delicious. The pumpkin soup was incredible, and the Angus ox cheeks we had as a starter were outstanding. For the mains, the aubergine was a flavor explosion! However, the onglet steak had a slight odor that I found off-putting—though it might just be because I’m quite sensitive to it. Other than that, everything was perfect. The service was excellent, and the staff made the experience even more enjoyable. They are doing an amazing job on this small boat—truly impressive!

    I’ll be honest a pretty good roast dinner, not really worth the premium they’re charging when there’s nothing particularly special about it. Strange apple sauce and a roast dinner chucked onto a plate with a drizzle of gravy shouldn’t cost £27. I was excited to come and try one of there more expensive options they usually offer on the specials however this experience has sadly changed my mind.
