The Barge — Restaurant in England

The Barge is an old estuarine workhorse that's been converted into a pub and restaurant and it's been moored at the Riverhead in Grimsby for quite some time. It's a good clean and well lit place,which is warm and has a old fashioned cosy feel and atmosphere with music playing in the background.It's a nicely appointed place with both history and the novelty of being afloat going for it,making it a popular choice with both the locals and visitors. It has a reasonably good range of draught beer, wine and spirits on offer. The menu is gastro pub in style and includes fish, steaks and burgers and roast dinner's on Sundays amongst other things there's also a children's menu and a special's board.It has table service provided by friendly staff. The layout is that of an old style pub with fixed seating around the edges with tressel style tables and stools,there's also some seating outside on the Quayside. It has it's own restrooms. It's not able to accommodate wheelchair users unfortunately on the vessel its self however the outdoor tables could easily accept a wheelchair.There's a multi storey car park opposite. Payment by credit cards are acceptable here. They have a 5* food hygiene rating. Food review Jan 2019. I chose the Haddock, chips and garden peas and a pot of tea. My meal arrived fairly quickly and comprised of a reasonable portion of Hand cut chips and peas, the fillet of haddock was a reasonable size,I found that the batter was quite heavy and under cooked in parts and a bit oily,the fish itself wasn't that great either, it was firm and white in colour but lacked the flavour of a really good piece of Haddock, the tea was good though.The price of £11.25 I felt was a little steep considering the quality and size of fish, however the portion sizes were quite good here. I didn't find it a remarkable meal but not a bad one either. I've had the steaks recommended to me maybe I'll try one of these the next time I decide to walk...

I've been meaning to pop on the Barge and try their food, rather than just drinking all the time .., and with some friends visiting from Slough recently, I had the perfect opportunity.

We plumped for the Sunday lunch and how lucky were we. Six Roast beef dinners were ordered and six empty plates were left.

The beef was cooked to perfection, the vegetables were fresh and everybody commented on what a fantastic meal it was. Needless to say, every single plate was clean and there were six very happy chaps!

The staff were superb as usual and a very big thank you to Roy for working his magic in the kitchen.

If you have not tried the food in the Barge, I suggest you get yourselves in there and try the food. There is something for everyone and and I guarantee, you will not be disappointed. 10/10 and I will be back again...

I took my 2 children in for their dinner. They both choose from the kids menu and i choose a chicken and bacon salad. The cutlery was brought to our table and the kids were asked if they would like sauces. Kids loved their meal, good portion sizes and they said they loved it. My chicken and bacon salad was lovely, lots of bacon and chicken and a good portion size. Very good prices and good service. Kids were also dancing along to the music. Very good place for home cooked food. 10/10 for...
