Drybarge — Local services in Manchester

All in all we had a good time on the boat. It was my daughter’s 18th and she had a blast. If it had have been my own party I’m not sure I would have been quite so happy. The bar was efficiently run but only had 1 bottle of wine, which was bought by a guest. No other wines on board which was really disappointing as most of the guests drink some sort of wine. The only lager available was cans of red stripe which were being sold at £6 a can. There were bottles of Prosecco at £31 and spirits. Sound system was good.

Booked a party for my 40th may 4th 2025. The boat didn’t show up. All week we had been calling him, sent various emails regarding the booking and heard nothing back. Absolute disgraceful. Apparently this has happened on numerous occasions of late to others so DO NOT BOOK! Communication was horrendous from the start. Such an awful way to behave when everyone is all ready to go. Luckily we sorted a room last minute on the night and the party went on in Barca. Terrible experience and so disappointing!!! Heard nothing back, no excuses, no apology,...
