The Boat Inn

The Boat Inn’s restaurant, with its adjoining cocktail bar, is housed in an extension to the old inn and has been a popular venue for diners since its opening in 1978. The timber and stone barn style reflects the traditional nature of its surroundings giving an elegant, cosy and intimate atmosphere. The restaurant, in an upstairs position overlooking the busy lock scene, seats up to 80 guests and offers a full service menu with an excellent choice of wines from the extensive cellars. Business and Sunday lunches are very popular, as are the Saturday Night Candle-lit Dinners. 

Situated in the quiet village of Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, opposite the Canal Museum and by a working lock, The Boat Inn has been run by the Woodward Family since 1877.

The Boat Inn with four bars, restaurant and bistro has facilities to cater for individuals and parties alike.

The bars and bistro boast a good selection of traditional ales, wines and spirits with an extensive bar food menu to compliment most occasions.
