Grain Barge
About
Grain Barge gracefully sails the historic harbours of Bristol, offering a relaxed dining and drinking experience on its moored foundation. With its intimate bar and spacious deck, patrons can savour fresh, locally sourced meals while taking in sweeping views of the Bristol Waterside. The restaurant’s menu is a celebration of seasonal produce, with a strong emphasis on sustainability. Ingredients are sourced from the barge’s own 5‑acre farm in Backwell, regional dairy farms, and certified MSC fish suppliers, ensuring that every dish is as wholesome as it is delicious. Complementing the food is a carefully curated selection of craft beers, ciders, and fine wines, many of which are produced by independent UK brewers. Beyond its culinary credentials, Grain Barge invites families, couples, and dog owners alike. The barge is dog‑friendly with designated areas and plenty of outdoor seating. While the venue is not wheelchair accessible, the weather‑proof deck offers a scenic spot to relax and watch boats glide past.
