Harden's survey result
Summary
“What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon!” – dining on “excellent seafood” aboard a barge, either cruising along the Regent’s Canal on the Prince Regent, or static but floating on the Grand Duchess, docked by Paddington station. It’s a “good-quality fish experience”, with supplies fresh from Cornwall and “very amiable service”.
Summary
“A really lovely romantic trip down the canal” on a traditional barge is crowned by four courses of “delicious fish”, plus pud – “great fun!”. In July 2019 a second floating venue, the Grand Duchess, was added, although it stays permanently at the company mooring by Paddington Station.

Summary
“Food tastes all the better when afloat” and fans of this “utterly delightful” canal boat, moored in the Paddington Central development, say it’s “a must do!” – not just on account of the novel setting, but also the “knowledgeable staff”, and “truly fresh fish and shellfish” which is exceptionally well-prepared.
For 31 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
