The Old Boat Cafe is a historic 1911 former FMC horse-drawn narrowboat VIENNA / VERBENA now working as a family-run cafe specialising in healthy, local Kentish faire; amazing coffee and delicious cakes. She is situated on the beautiful river Medway in central Maidstone. You can escape the town and relax by the river whilst enjoying a Cream Tea or local ice scooped ice cream. Lot of outside seating and some in her hold.
Her little sister ship, the traditionally styled LAPWING, offers space for groups of 12 to book to sit aboard - great for craft and social groups - and now can be booked for river trips, nature safaris and sunset cruises.
