About Narrowboat

Pub with canal views, serving craft beers, cask ales and rustic food, including Sunday lunch.

This is a long pub on two levels that runs along the canal from the bridge in St Peters Street. From the outside the pub maintains some of the looks of its Victorian origins, while inside the decor is distinctly light and modern. The main drinking area, accessible from the street, is broadly split into two equal parts, with the bar running down the side of the pub in the front half. Table seating is available to the front, while more comfortable sofas are available at the back. Two balconies on the canal-side provide excellent vantage points.

Downstairs there is a bar with two hand pumps, more table seating mostly set out for dining, and access to the canal towpath. Acquired from an independent operator by Young's in 2012. The pub may stay open later on weekdays if busy but equally might close earlier if not.

    We had great Sunday roasts here. The beef roast was very tender and one of the best cooked beef roasts we have had. The staff were friendly and assertive. The setting is really lovely with a great view of the canal and it wasn't too noisy (like how pubs can get sometimes).

    Cosy pub, friendly service. We were a large group and the food was brought with long time lines we all ate at different times. We ordered for the medium rump steak and it cane well done and as we had waited for long just ate without making a fuss. I love the location and the views especially facing tye canal.

    We came here on a Sunday and the weather was glorious outside, so being by the canal was so nice. We reserved a table upstairs. Not so crowded and we didn't feel crammed in with a dog and a toddler. We did walk by downstairs later and it looked more busy. We ordered via the app which was convenient, but do note that you will need to sign up, so you may prefer ordering at the bar instead. Food was really good! We ordered fish and chips and it was cooked really well and also came with a curry dip! We also ordered a pork Sunday Roast - presented beautifully and had a good amount of meat, and…

    Classic range of pub fare on a canal with plenty of narrow boats and lots of light from the big windows with terrace dining available and blankets available for those outside if it is chilly. Food is good but not great but the cheerful environment, nice, atmosphere and enjoyable, setting certainly make up for any average aspects. Super friendly staff and wine selection of beers.

    I recently celebrated my birthday at the Narrowboat pub, and it was absolutely unforgettable! From the start, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the team went above and beyond to make my special day truly memorable. Kamila was incredible – she helped decorate the space to perfection, ensuring everything looked festive and stylish. She also took care of cutting and distributing the cake and champagne, adding a personal touch that made the celebration feel even more special. Ben was equally fantastic, expertly handling the distribution of food and drinks and ensuring all my guests were…
