Reasonably busy Saturday afternoon, we enjoyed good ale accompanied by some very reasonably priced Thai food.

This is a pub, on a boat! Really what's not to love? Surprisingly spacious interior including a stage for live bands. Very friendly and efficient staff and an electic mix of locals. We all fell in love with this place, may well be wrth the 3 hour drive to Peterborough to come here again.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Oakham - White Dwarf | 4.30 | | Hoppy with lots of citrus, not as 'wheaty' as I was expecting, but a lovely beer. |
| Green Jack - Baltic Trader | 10.50 | | I just sent my dad up to the bar to get me a dark beer and this is what he brought back. Thick black beer, quite sweet and smoky but very pleasant. I got half way through before he let me know how strong it was, took my by surprise. Very good. |

Just try it for your self if you can.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Tring - Side Pocket for a Toad | 3.60 | | Quite simply the best session bitter I have tasted in my life, I was the worst for wear in a great mood from pubs i had found but that was a Purple Haze moment it blows you away |
| Green Jack - Lurcher Stout | 4.80 | | If you see it and like dark beer buy one. |

Great place sun was out people sitting in the autumn sun watching the world go from the garden I prefer the smaller area there to the brewery tap. Got to Whittlesey before i realised forgot camera but had spare batteries.

Broke up the long journey home from York with a planned stop here for a couple of beers and dinner at the East restaurant. Every bit as good as I remembered it from my last visit a couple of years ago. Fantastic beer selection and conditioning - and it's on a boat!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Bishops Farewell | 4.60 | | Liquid gold. Grapefruit sensation. Doesn't get much better than this. |
| Oakham - Inferno | 4.00 | | Never fails to amaze just how citrusy and potent-tasting this beer is. Top marks for refreshment and wow-factor. I just find the Bishops a little more refined. |
| Abbeydale - Smoked Porter | 4.40 | | Deep ruby, palate of smoked Bavarian cheese reminiscent of Springhead Leveller. More of a porteresque fullness of body though and yet more smoke on the finish. Lovely balance. Cements my high opinion of this fine midland brewery. |
| Oakham - Baja 1000 | 4.30 | | Seemingly something of an exclusive. Rust coloured, flavour-packed hop bomb in the traditional tasty Oakham style. |
| Oakham - Mompesson's Gold (superseded by 5.2% version - see separate entry) | 5.00 | | Dispensed headless, so probably sub-prime. Still such a wonderful colour and bursting with layers of sweet and hoppy goodness. |
| Cathedral - Bishop's Tipple | 5.20 | | Big, fruity premium ale. Speckled hen in colour but, of course, with a lot more flavour. |

The pub is found in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, PE1 1FP.
Take a permanently moored old Dutch barge on the River Nene, kit it out with a below deck bar run and stocked by one of the top breweries in the UK, add a touch of live music, regular events and festivals and finish it off with a fine-quality oriental restaurant on the top deck. Inspired - and quite probably the best thing about Peterborough. 12 cask ales always on (more during festivals).
We have visited this pub 17 times, seen 74 different beers and tried 32 of them.
