The Boat Inn

About

The Boat Inn, a historic riverside pub located in the picturesque village of Stoke Bruerne beside the Grand Union Canal, has been a family-owned community hub since 1877. The inn blends thatched canal‑side charm with modern amenities, offering a range of bars, a cosy bistro, and Woodward’s Restaurant where guests can enjoy hearty British fare, an extensive drink selection, and a relaxed, dog‑friendly atmosphere. With seasonal opening hours that adapt to school holidays and bank holidays—summer days running 9:30 am to 8:30 pm, while winter days feature split‑session times from 10 am to 3 pm and again 5 pm to 8 pm—visitors can plan their trip around a convenient schedule. The premises also hosts boat trips along the canal, wedding receptions, and regular events that showcase local culture and music, making it a versatile venue for both casual meals and special occasions.
