Pub was built in the early 19th century near to the under-construction Grand Junction (now Grand Union) canal linking London with Birmingham. It thrived on trade from the navvies building the canal and then from the narrow boat crews and passengers. Up until well into the 20th century, the beer served at the Barge was brought through on trays from the store at the front of the building.

The pub has three hand pulls, serving beers from the M&B catalogue.

Refurbished in 2022, the modern pub has seating in different areas, mostly given to dining. The bar area has an open fire. The dining area has a large conservatory-like area.

There are two gardens to front and rear of the pub.

The now offer for purchase and takeaway a selection of artisan breads & pastries, preserves, relishes & chutneys and some premium spirits.

Historic Interest

Built early 19th century to profit from the building and use of the Grand Junction canal.
