Old Boat Cafe in Maidstone

A lovely friendly place to stop for a coffee or ice cream. The home made cakes and cookies are delicious too!

A lovely little cafe, run by really nice youngsters. Lovely for when the sun is shining and you need a cool refreshing drink and a quick bite to eat. P.S their coleslaw was amazing.

Quirky venueThis venue is exactly as it says on line. An old fashioned barge converted for on board and on riverbank dining. The menu isn't long, as the galley wouldn't allow it, but the selection fills most peoples requirements. Owner plus youngsters serving. Owner is clearly passionate about her cafe. I started with a chicken Laksa, nicely if gently spiced and had a baguette with breakfast ingredients inside. Good bacon herby sausages and egg. My mint hot chocolate was very indulgent. My partner had healthier but equally tasty food.The inside of the barge seems still very authentic.Friendly chatty staff, would recommend.

Lovely cream tea. Except the tea....eventually got a cup of tea as I drink it. Asked for the tea bag to be left out of the water.....twice, didn't happen. However a young man enquired if all was well and rectified the problem.Kid-friendliness: As it's out in the open on the river bank, quite kid friendly. Though not much product range for themWheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible by wheelchair

They have a few tasty egan options. It's a sweet little place to go to eat in the sun, feed the birds and enjoy a meal by the water.

Such a lovely atmosphere and a beautiful place for breakfast. The staff are friendly and efficient. We will definitely be going back.

Amazing menu with an interesting selection of food and drinks - coffee and cake, light bites and full meals - even ice creams. Great selection of vegan and gluten free options available too. Everything we tried was delicious and the service was great. So nice to see a small business that's clearly thriving. Will definitely be back soon!

My husband and I had the most yummy cakes & coffee. He had the fruit cake & I had the carrot cake.Really lovely place to stop.

My new favourite place to visit for coffee in the summer. Perfect spot by the river for refreshments. Lovely cake and brilliant for vegan options too!

We had a lovely lunch down here on the boat. It was red hot and we had some drinks and some lunch, I had a lovely salad and they went out of their way to cater for our 2 year old. There was a basket of toys for the little ones too. There are some nice looking cakes, but we didn't get that far. There was a wide selection of San pelligrinos too.We sat in the boat, watched the river and the boats go by, they waved as they went past. It was a really pleasant aspect of Maidstone. I have often driven past the river, and not thought it looked nice, but it really was from down there.There are tables outside, and you don't have to get on the boat to order or have your food and drink.
