Barge East

Barge East is a floating restaurant and bar moored on the River Lee at Sweetwater Mooring, off White Post Lane in Hackney Wick. The website describes one site with five riverside experiences: seasonal menus aboard a 125 year old Dutch barge, all-day bistro dining on the terrace, street food and drinks in the gardens, a gelato, coffee and cocktail counter, and paddling on the River Lee.

The restaurant on the barge serves an a la carte menu of snacks, small and big plates, sides and desserts, made with seasonal produce and sustainable suppliers, along with Sunday roasts. The menu also draws on ingredients from the gardens. The terrace is described as relaxed all-day bistro dining, with seasonal plates for sharing, weekend DJs and sheltered outdoor seating. The riverside gardens are billed as one of London's largest outdoor dining and drinking spaces. There is also large group and private hire.

Paws of London records outdoor seating here, and lists the venue as dog-friendly after an editorial check; the dog-policy card below shows where that comes from and when it was last checked.

Hackney Wick station is a four-minute walk, with Stratford International about eleven minutes away.
