Dining Room on Moorish

Moorish is a 70 foot traditional narrowboat - 6’ 8” wide, old Lister Engine and a small stern deck. The dining room has space for up to eight guests around an old farmhouse table; perfect for a group of friends, or to make new ones.

Some of the best meals I have ever had.

What can I say about the food? It was delicious and all home cooked. Totally different and exotic, and so scrumptious!

The atmosphere is fun and informal, and the food is made for sharing

Unique Dining Experience

The boat is full of original graphic art - lino, etching and screen prints - ceramics and other bits and pieces picked up along the way.. There is a lounge and a covered seating area at the bow to hang out between courses. Bring your favourite tunes to share, thumb through the art and cook books, play games if you want; come and chat in the kitchen - just make yourself at home.
