The Boathouse Cafe and Bar

The Boathouse Cafe and Bar is Barking's premier and only riverside venue. Just out of the main town centre, a mere 12 minutes walk from the main station, or a 9 minutes walk from the hotels, we are situated behind the Ice House (Bow Arts)Studios in the Granary building. With a large seated riverside terrace, adjacent to the river, we serve light snacks, such as our signature panini made to order: we also sell London produced craft beers, Doppio coffee, locally made cakes and serve delicious cocktails! Please see our Facebook page for special events, such as guest DJ's, live singers, our folk music afternoons or Funky Friday events, taking place in the bar. And be sure to check out our webpage for more information and prices. We also have an active Instagram page that displays more images than you can think of! You are always assured of a warm welcome from Derrick & Alison, along with their fun loving staff! We look forward to meeting you at 'the hidden gem' of Barking.
