Stracciatella (strah-cha-TELL-ah)
Now that we've got that out of the way...
Silky, creamy, paired with the very best seasonal ingredients and served on aboard The Barge.
Simple. Fresh. Seriously delicious.

Caught your eye? Just wait until you taste it.
Beer-battered Cornish cod, paired with cavolo nero, caper berries and our warm tartare sauce, a fresh take on a classic, served on the Terrace all summer long.
The perfect excuse for a leisurely lunch or dinner by the canal.
Book your table, or simply walk in and enjoy the sunshine.

Good food is made for sharing.
Gather those besties, order a table full of seasonal plates, and settle in for a long lunch or leisurely dinner on the Terrace.

Small plate. Big flavour.
Our Salt Marsh lamb dumpling is rich, comforting and packed with flavour.
Great as part of a feast to share [or because one plate is never enough].

What people say
Barge East is a truly unique dining experience that offers something for everyone. This magical floating restaurant and bar venue in London is based on a historic Dutch Barge in Hackney Wick, making it the perfect spot for those looking to enjoy delicious food and drinks while taking in stunning views of the city.
The menu at Barge East is truly exceptional, with small plate dishes that offer a range of exotic flavors from around the world. The use of local suppliers ensures that every dish is fresh and bursting with flavor. And with a drinks menu that showcases the best of London's beers, coffees, soft drinks, and spirits, there's no better place to enjoy a refreshing drink on a sunny day.
But what really sets Barge East apart is its atmosphere. The boat itself is an historic 114-year-old Dutch Tjalk that has been lovingly restored using reclaimed materials. The result is a warm and inviting space that feels like home from the moment you step aboard.
Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner for two or a fun night out with friends, Barge East has something to offer everyone. So why not pop in and say hi? You won't be disappointed!
