About

All aboard The Cheese Barge – a 96ft double decker vessel moored in Paddington Basin just off The Regent’s Canal. The restaurant plays host to a seasonal cheese-focused menu, from a whole Baked Baron Brie to our infamous Quickes Curried Cheese Curds. Expect cheese plates with innovative pairings and plenty of delcious small producer wines.

  • Sadly not, we're a stationary vessel.

  • Please do, our team love meeting your four-legged friends!

  • Yes! We have lots of gluten free dishes and pairings as well as offering gluten free crackers. We're not able to guarantee that it is completely free from all traces of gluten due to the size of out kitchens and the presense of gluten in other menu items but we do take all steps to avoid cross contamination.

  • Our menu isn't the most vegan friendly but our chefs can adapt a couple of dishes to make them suitable for vegans. We don't currently offer any vegan cheeses.

  • Firstly, CONGRATS! We follow the NHS guidance on this, you'll find it here.

    Our menus clearly label the milk treatment of all cheeses so you know which ones are pasteurised and which aren't. If in doubt, ask the team.
