This Pub is Permanently Closed

+++UPDATE+++

The Narrowboat will be closing permanently at the end of March 2024, as Fullers will be converting it to a training facility.

Bar and restaurant housed in a tastefully converted former industrial building on the waterfront of the River Kennet and owned by Fuller's. Both the inside bar and outside terrace provide an attractive venue for a pint and there is now a mobile bar outside for the summer months. The separate restaurant offers upmarket dining - drinks can be taken in from the bar. Check out the little free museum a bit further up from the boat which features a fully-restored old gypsy caravan from the turn of the 20th century.

Information for this venue is provided by the Reading & Mid-Berks Branch of CAMRA
