The Old Boat offers the most fantastic range of coffees and locally sourced, organic food. Uber child-friendly too! The original boatman's cabin offers a tantalising glimpse into the fascinating life of the family who once worked this horse-drawn boat. Kids will love it!
As you sit, gazing out onto the Medway, on a floating piece of our industrial heritage, you can feel the river breeze on your face and the gentle rocking from the wake of small craft and be surrounded by waterfowl. It doesn't get much better than this as you feel yourself relax and slow to the gentle ebb and flow of river life.
About 80% of the products served in this cafe are locally sourced and there a lots of options for gluten free, vegan and vegetarians alongside food which can be enjoyed by everyone.
This boat is not on a road but on the tow path of the River Medway, right in the heart of town. It is moored between the two main road bridges where there is a garden. Access can be gained via the pedestrian crossing close to the Kentish Lady moorings and the Archbishop's Palace or via the underpass from Fairmeadow or the lower High Street.
As it is on a cycle route, this is a particularly good way to arrive.
The closest parking can be found in Medway Street, just walk along Fairmeadow under the underpass and you are on the River Path.
This is really easy to reach by bike or boat.
Closest station is Maidstone West.
Alight buses in the High Street or Pudding Lane.
