The pub’s bar can be found on a boat that used to carry cargo around Europe.
The city of Peterborough has a huge range of pubs to explore but if you are looking for somewhere a little different to visit this summer, you might enjoying having a beer on a boat. The Charters is found right on the River Nene and has its own boat with a bar and Pan Asian restaurant.
The Charters is described as being a “friendly-family” pub with the “largest beer garden in Peterborough“. For the summer, the beer garden has plenty of seating where you can soak up the sun next to the river with fairy lights as it gets dark.
As well as the beer garden, you can take a walk over to the bar that can be found on a boat. The converted floating Dutch barge was originally built in 1907 and was used on the rivers and canals in Holland, Belgium, and Germany to carry cargo.
The boat was brought over to Peterborough via the North Sea to be turned into a bar and restaurant before it was opened in 1991. The Charters is now a popular place for real ale lovers to visit with eight cask ales on tap and around 500 guest ales.
After renovations, the pub now has a range of outdoor bars, a stage for live music, and a decking area that can be hired out for events. The pub holds a range of events including jazz nights, live bands, and pub quizzes meaning you should be able to find something that suits you.
There are also plenty of festivals throughout the year including the Charters Easter Beer Festival. For food lovers, there is also the International Food Festival and even a Portuguese Festival with live music, traditional street food, and drinks.
If you need something to soak up the alcohol, the Charters has plenty of food options. You can enjoy a burger and a beer for just £12.50 or you can choose from one of the many pizzas on menu.
For people who want something a bit different, you can visit the Pan Asian restaurant named East that serves a range of rice and noodle dishes, as well as starters and wraps at lunchtime. Throughout the start of the week, you can grab a few small plates to have alongside a drink.
The Charters can be found at Town Bridge in Peterborough. The pub is open from 12pm to 11pm on Sundays to Thursdays and from 12pm to 1am on Fridays and Saturdays.
