Description

Adrian and June welcome you to the Barge Inn.

The Barge Inn has a long and colourful history, built in 1810 to coincide with the opening of the Kennet and Avon Canal. Alongside the waterway it prospered with both commercial and passenger traffic.

The bar is open from 1130am to 1100pm Monday to Friday, open till midnight on Saturday and 1200noon to 1100pm on Sundays. There is a choice of 3 ales.

Food is served daily from 12noon till 2.30pm and 7pm to 9pm.

Boating
There are 24 hr visitor moorings immediately outside the pub sufficient for 6 or more boats with a water point and rubbish disposal facilities. Pump-out facilities, gas, diesel and other boating requisites can be found just to the east of the bridge at George Gibson's Boat Services, Old Builders Wharf, Honeystreet, Pewsey, Wilts, SN9 5PS.
