Barge East

Sustainability in all aspects

Barge East is situated on a 125-year-old Dutch barge, permanently moored on the canal in the Hackney Wick area of East London. This is a unique gastronomic experience in every way, especially in its ability to think sustainably in every part of the process. The food feels rustic, honest, and simple — made with local and seasonal ingredients. Even drinks are locally sourced, and the menu highlights lots of nearby breweries, distilleries, and wineries. We think that’s exactly how it should work: the restaurant showcasing the producers!

Summary:

• Nose-to-tail cooking

• 80 percent organic ingredients

• Vegetables are grown right outside the entrance to the restaurant

• Upcycled interior decor and furniture

• No cling film, no vacuum bags
