👀 A LITTLE TOP SECRET SNEAK PEEK…

We've been busy behind the scenes, and things are starting to look rather lovely aboard The Milk Float.

Think bold colours, playful interiors, brilliant coffee, cocktails by the canal and a brand-new weekend brunch menu from the team behind Barge East. 🍳🥂

From a pork belly muffin with custard egg to harissa jammy eggs and toasted sourdough, we're bringing a little Barge East magic to your weekend mornings.

We're putting the finishing touches on everything ahead of our first soft launch brunch weekend, 24 & 25 October.

Our new autumn menu is here, celebrating what’s growing now and making the most of what we grow just a few steps from the Barge.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN. FIVE YEARS. TWO AA ROSETTES. ONE VERY TASTY FIVE-PEAT! 🏆

We've only gone and done it AGAIN! Barge East has been awarded **Two AA Rosettes for Culinary Excellence for the FIFTH consecutive year!** 🥂

Five years of brilliant food, creative cooking and a whole lot of hard work from our incredible team. From the chefs making magic in the kitchen to our brilliant bar and front-of-house teams keeping the good times flowing, this one's for ALL of you! ❤️

And what better way to celebrate than with a little look back at some of **our favourites (and yours!) from this summer's menus.** A few dishes we loved creating, serving and seeing you enjoy.

Awards like these don't happen by accident. They take passion, consistency and a team that genuinely loves what they do. We couldn't be prouder.

**A HUGE thank you to our team and to everyone who's joined us aboard.** You're all part of the story.

🥂 Fancy a taste of what all the fuss is about? Our autumn menus are now in full swing.

Picked fresh from the Gardens 🌿

Our lemon verbena is grown, picked and straight onto the menu.

We love growing our ingredients so the kitchen team can literally step outside and pick what they need, when it’s ready.

It makes cooking following the seasons so special.

Our new autumn menu has arrived. Come aboard and discover what we’ve been growing.

After a long, hot summer, they’re still beautifully in bloom and there’s plenty of time yet to enjoy one of our favourite spots by the river.

Make the most of our Gardens and stop by this weekend while they’re still looking this good.
