Food and drink along the canals

One of the great pleasures of cruising the inland waterways is the variety of canalside pubs, cafes, and restaurants you'll find along the way. Many have moorings right outside, making it easy to tie up and wander in. Some of the best-known waterway pubs have been welcoming boaters for centuries.

If you're on a longer cruise, it's worth planning meal stops around known food spots, as some stretches of canal are remote with few facilities. Farmer's markets and farm shops near the towpath can also be a great source of fresh, local produce for cooking aboard.
