Eating out on a canal boat holiday is one of the joys of the whole trip.
Of course, the beauty of choosing a canal boat holiday is that you take your kitchen wherever you go. We encourage our guests to bring enough food with them for their entire vacation. This is because you can never predict when a pub or restaurant will be closed unexpectedly or if a delay on your route means that you arrive just as the kitchen closes.
That being said, there is a sense of luxury in choosing a restaurant for the evening. A delicious meal followed by a short walk back to your canal boat – what could be better? And it makes sense to explore the town’s restaurants at least once during your holiday.
