Hungry couplings can stroll along to the permanently moored barge and kick start appetites with freshly baked bread and a bowl of zesty olives to share. Once the starter has been polished off, diners will get to pick four tapas dishes to share between them, choosing from a tasty assortment of meat, fish and vegetarian options. Patrons may opt for the cannon of salt marsh lamb, celeriac puree, dauphinoise potato, and rosemary and red current jus (£7.50). Fish lovers can opt for the shell baked Rye Bay scallops cooked with garlic, shallots, tomato, lemon, parsley and topped with breadcrumbs(£7.50).

It's great to sit by the river an enjoy a nice meal, a hidden gem in Maidstone! Every aspect of the evening was spectacular from the greeting; the service; the food; the wine list through to the exceptional menu at a very reasonable price.
