Boasting an unparalleled location at the junction of two of London’s waterways, Barge East - a new bar & kitchen based aboard a historic Dutch barge has opened in Hackney Wick at the edge of the beautiful & vibrant Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
The striking, historic 114 year old barge, has been breathtakingly transformed from its former life as a cargo barge in Holland into a truly stunning bar & restaurant.
The British fusion menu introduces global flavours which Head Chef Ryan Craig has developed from his extensive time cooking aboard some of the world’s most luxurious private yachts. The kitchen also boasts the Big Green egg, indoor ceramic barbeque, giving a rich, smoked flavour to the food.
