About Barge Inn

Barge Inn sits at a marina in Thorpe village on Lock Hill, Doncaster, with the canal running alongside. The pub serves home-cooked, homemade food, and the bar carries a wide selection of drinks. Outdoor seating looks out over the water, giving visitors a spot to sit canalside rather than only indoors. The entrance is step-free and wheelchair-accessible, suiting visitors with mobility needs, and dogs are welcome at the tables. It opens daily, and reservations are recommended for those planning a visit. The combination of the marina setting and canal frontage sets the pub apart as a place to stop while walking or boating along the water.

Customer Review Summary

Homemade food draws consistent praise, with the Steak & Ale Pie and Lasagne singled out as cooked to perfection with generous portions, and the curry also getting a specific mention as a favorite. Close behind, reviewers repeatedly highlight friendly, welcoming service from the bar staff and note good value for money, alongside popular quiz and bingo nights and a canalside, cosy setting at the marina. A few also mention a wide drinks selection. One reviewer describes colourful language nearby that clashed with the expected idyllic canal view, and another reports the toilets were in a disgusting state, prompting them to eat elsewhere rather than stay for a meal.
