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!

The Barge is the ideal venue for funeral buffets and afternoon teas near the Milton Keynes crematorium.

The Barge has a long-standing reputation for hosting funeral receptions and wakes and been a trusted choice for many years, offering families a warm, respectful setting in which to gather and honour loved ones. There is ample car parking available for family and friends.

With extensive experience in planning and hosting these sensitive events, our team understands the importance of creating a peaceful, dignified atmosphere. We are committed to managing every detail with care, so you and your guests can focus on celebrating and remembering the life of your loved one.

Our catering services are crafted to meet your needs, offering a variety of buffet menus featuring fresh, authentic British cuisine and an excellent selection of beverages. We are also pleased to tailor menus to accommodate specific preferences, including vegetarian and vegan options, ensuring a personal and memorable experience.

At The Barge, you can expect the highest standards of service from our compassionate and dedicated team, who bring expertise and genuine warmth to each gathering.
