The Barge Inn

The local pub has undergone a complete refurbishment, both externally and internally, and reopened its doors in August 2020. The single room has been cleverly divided into three distinct sections, breathing new life into this friendly neighborhood establishment. Initially, the pub is offering two national real ales along with another selection. In addition to the drinks, the pub has also started serving food daily. For the most up-to-date information on serving times and special dishes, patrons are encouraged to check the pub's Facebook page. One of the highlights of the refurbished pub is the large outdoor area at the back. It features a large screen TV housed inside a fire engine, adding a unique touch to the ambiance. The pub is conveniently located just across the road from the Erewash Canal, which has moorings for boats passing by. This makes it an ideal spot for boaters to stop for a refreshing drink or a hearty meal. The pub's commitment to quality and service has not gone unnoticed. It was recognized with an entry in the Good Beer Guide (GBG) in 2014. The recent refurbishments and additions only serve to enhance the pub's reputation as a friendly and welcoming place for locals and visitors alike.
