The Barge, a country pub in Milton Keynes

We’ve got everything you need from a country pub near you. 

Built in the early 19th century to slake the thirsts of the men that built The Grand Union Canal, The Barge has been a favourite amongst narrow boaters for many years. The now restored pub restaurant draws guests from all over Milton Keynes for good Pub food and excellent real ale. When you do visit keep an eye out as it is said that former landlord Samuel Savage still visits the building, and he would be over 150 years old now!

Our menus are full of hearty favourites and country pub classics, as well as our seasonal dishes, and we’ll be ready with a well-stocked bar, including cask ales, fine wines and British gin to suit very taste - which will taste all the better when enjoyed either in our beautiful gardens or by our crackling log fires.

After enjoying the unique surroundings of The Barge Inn, there's plenty more of interest in the area.

Standing near the Grand Union Canal, our spacious pub has delightfully leafy surroundings which attract many walkers and water users. And there are more trails along the Ouzel river, about a half-mile away.
