The Barge Inn Restaurant

We travelled down from Reading and met up here with friends who were boating on the canal. Booked a table for seven. Really good pub food, good range of drinks and good service in a fab location for the canal. Happy customers!

Had a lovely evening in this local pub. Steaks were fab, cooked exactly as ordered Jasmine was amazing front of house. Working on her own on a busy night she was never flustered, always communicating with customers to let them know she would address their requests ASAP.

Stopped for a quick pint 40 mins only to receive a letter 2 weeks letter informing me of a £100 fine for parking in the pub car park! How the hell can it make sense to fine your customers for visiting your pub and how can you justify the disgraceful £100? Complete and utter disgrace View menu

Fabulous food and a lovely setting : we went as vegans and the choices were limited but enough and the quality of the food was excellent. The sauces on offer added to the flavours and the staff were very helpful. Only point I would say is the tables felt a bit sticky so maybe a different cleaning product? Outside of that I would definitely come again :

I called to make a reservation but was put on hold by an automatic system. After a few minutes of ringing, someone finally answered and abruptly told me to stop calling continuously because there was no one available to answer. They said someone would call me back and then hung up without any further communication. I was shocked by the incredible rudeness of this interaction. Needless to say, no one ever called me back. I would strongly recommend avoiding this restaurant unless you enjoy being shouted at.

We visited the Barge Inn on the way back from a walk in the brecon beacons. I was disappointed to be hit with a £100 parking fine a month later from their own car park!!! After contacting the Barge in to discuss the charge, I was further enraged to learn that oh this happens all the time. We forgot to tell you to log your vehicle registration I am now left with the awkward situation of requesting a bank statement from my father-in-law, evidencing the procurement of horrendous beer and flat cider to pass to Smart Parking. Will not be visiting again. View menu

You know when you can’t put your finger on it… I don’t know why I didn’t love this place, but I didn’t. Great location. Especially if you’re boating. The menu had a pizza selection plus other meals ie burgers, fish chips, and other things like salmon and a beef stroganoff. But I thought it was a boring menu, with little choice. I had ham egg and chips it was alright. But not ooh that was fabulous, really tasty. The staff more interested in each other than the customers. One of the waitresses was nice but the others aloof. Might have been an off day but not sure I’ll give them a second chance. Go on past and go to The Lock Inn I’d say.

We ate here last night. We were greeted and served by a lovely friendly lady. The pub is cosy with a lovely open fire. The menu was nice and varied with plenty of choice. The service was quick and the food was amazing. We had the Mackerel fish cakes and the pork belly and the pie of the day followed by the crumble of the day and the cheesecake. All the food was delicious and beautifully presented with generous portions. There is a good sized car park but you must remember to register your car registration number as soon as you arrive but there is no problem remembering this as there's a massive sign on the entrance door. We had a lovely evening with great food and great service and would def...

Parked in pub car park, happily chatting walking into the pub, meeting family sitting in rear pub garden for early evening food and drinks, thinking the car park was for customer use only to then receive a £100 car parking fine weeks later and if paid early reduces to £60. NO ONE working at the pub asked us if we arrived by car and should complete their digital car registration form. We have never had to be on the look out in any pub car parks previously when having food and drinks as a customer. Completed the smart parking fine appeal form explaining on that day/time we were at the pub as a customer and supplemented with the necessary pub receipts as evidence the appeal was rejected (shocke...
