Canal Boat Cruises in South Ribble

Our son had his reception aboard and it could not have been better! The food was amazing, drinks reasonably priced and the staff attentive and friendly. I cannot recommend them enough! A fantastic day.

Had a 3 course Christmas lunch on here last Sunday (5/12/21)with a group of friends. The food and service was 5 star. Didn't get to see much scenery due to the time of year but still v.much worth it

It was 2019 when our sail & lunch was booked, owing to covid it was the 8th October 2021when we eventually had the experience . I must say we were very pleased with everything . All the staff were very polite , respectful ,friendly & pleasant . The barge diner was very clean & well set out. We had a three course pre booked lunch with soup, roast chicken / beef to follow with a choice of deserts . Wine , spirits , hot & cold drinks available to order . The whole meal was expertly cooked & presented everything was perfect a reflection of the skill of the catering staff and waitress attendance . The barge diner is equipped with a flushing toilet . Access onto the barge for very tall people may be a little awkward in order not to hit their head but that said just have to be a little careful. We were fortunate it was a sunny day so the views were that much better . The sail lasted around three hours sailing from the birthing mid point along the canal in both directions .Thank you for the experience we had and would recommend the venue without exception.

Excellent evening. Food was very good and staff friendly. Trip along the canal passed by so smoothly it didn't seem like two and a half hours. Well worth booking.

I booked a surprise lunch cruise for my 93 year old mother. Nigel was very helpful in planning the occasion, setting tables for the 6 of us in the bow of the boat. The boat itself was beautiful inside and nicely decorated. The staff were helpful and courteous. The meal was delicious and plentiful and there were good intervals between the courses. The price of drinks was very reasonable. The 3 hours flew by and we all agreed what a wonderful afternoon it had been. I would highly recommend this cruise.

Lovely experience. Crew and staff couldn't do enough. Had the afternoon cream tea which was delicious. Choice of drinks, cocktails, wines and beers at an additional cost. Lovely ambience and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend.

Beautiful surroundings, excellent boat nicely decorated and comfortable.Drinks list was extensive and good choices of cocktails etcStaff very pleasant and friendly.Went on an evening Tapas cruise, birthday treat, absolutely loved my evening. Saw some interesting wildlife and flora.

"The Romance" - the restaurant barge. A really delightful way to spend a Sunday lunchtime gently drifting along the canal. The barge was very neatly laid out and the tables nicely set..... and the three course meal did not disappoint. With a small but well stocked bar to compliment your luncheon and attentive and pleasant service from two staff on board. Impressive that with 20 something on board and in the confines of a small galley, the meals were prepared by one chef... hats off to him.The three hours return journey was scenic and serene.Thank you to all the staff and crew for such a wonderful time. Highly recommended.
