    Sitting outside looking in

    Great little place to sit a while, have a delish coffee and people watch. Located right outside of Paddinton station on the canal.

    Menu - front

    Canal boat originally built as a passenger ferry for the 2012 Olympics in London. Then converted into a restaurant. Menu doesn't have a lot of choices but everything is very good. We shared the charred corn "ribs" and tandoori salmon. Service was attentive. The only negative is that it's crazy loud inside because of the limited space.

    Boat, outside vibe

    Came here for some brunch with my boyfriend and it was super cute. The vibes are cute and calm and I love that it's right by the water, literally ! Food presentation was cute and I had the most delicious chai latte. Food portions were a bit small, so if your a heavy eater I wouldn't recommend. Overall, great experience !

    I agree with one of the comments below - I'm shocked this place has so little reviews! A bright colored floating restaurant in central London with brunch options fit for the Queen herself...what more do you need? A fully functioning bar, you say? Well, yes they have that too! Not gonna lie, I originally chose this place solely for the novelty. I thought it would be a unique experience, and at the very least, we'd walk away with a cool memory and an Instagram worthy photo. Well, well, well...the Darcie and May Green far exceeded my expectations! Delicious food, friendly staff and an overall great experience. I ordered the 'Benny Boy' which is an Australian take on Eggs Benedict. The creamy lemon hollandaise, acidic sour kraut and salty ham made for a mouth watering combo. My friend ordered 'The Bondi' which was equally delicious and had something called charcoal toast that we thought was pretty cool. Overall, would absolutely recommend if you're near Paddington!

    Open-air dining on a boat. Rainbows and flowers everywhere. Bottomless prosecco. What else do you need in a brunch? Sir Peter Blake outdid himself with the design of this Australian-influenced eatery, situated right outside of Paddington Station. The restaurant is split into a bar and dining area on the bottom decks, with one big outdoor seating area on the top deck. Reserve ahead on the weekends for bottomless brunch or a romantic dinner on the canal. You can rent the space out for a wild brunch or evening as well. My friend and I ordered the sweetcorn fritters and shakshuka for our mains, then the banana bread for dessert. Absolutely delicious! Though honestly the prosecco was the main reason we went (managed to get through a humble 3 bottles in 140 minutes). Highly recommend for a brunch with your girlfriends on a sunny day this summer!

    Very nice environment! Dishes are fresh and nice! Definitely try the sea category to explore salmon and tunas! There's a free cake with white chocolate and apple chip in the end!

    I can't believe this place only has ONE review?!?! I know the international crowd doesn't use Yelp as much but I was seriously shocked about that... I spent the most amazing bottomless birthday brunch here and would buy another plane ticket to come back from the States in a heartbeat. I was looking for a place to do a proper brunch during the week and I was BEYOND NOT DISAPPOINTED. For about 40£ you will get bottomless prosecco or mimosas, with a savory AND sweet dish. This is very hard to find in London on a Wednesday. The food quality and plating is on par with any fine dining establishment that I have been to in the States. Honestly I have spent twice as much and gotten much much less. I had the Baked aubergine fritter and the coconut French toast. I would say a solid 5 stars for both. It was the perfect portion for a savory dish and a lovely sweet spurt of goodness to round it all out. That is always the battle in orchestrating the perfect brunch experience. The service was great and as a server I really do pay attention to this part of the dining experience. Celeste and Ricardo were a lovely addition to my birthday extravaganza and it really was a perfect experience. I never felt pressured to leave and was completely enjoying my time as if I was in someone's home. I couldn't have asked for more. The prosecco didn't stop and the glorious food kept coming! On top of all of that the location is SUPER convenient off of Paddington Station and literally right out front on the water in the most charming boat/canal atmosphere. A Santa and brass band passed by and that was epic in its own right. Would love to experience it during the summer as I hear they open the rooftop space and that just looks like a dream. Just do yourself a favor and make this a part of your time in London!

    A Wonderful Afternoon Tea at The Swan - Thanks to Theo!…read more I had the absolute pleasure of enjoying afternoon tea at The Swan, and what truly made the experience exceptional was the outstanding service from Theo. From the moment we arrived, she greeted us with a warm smile and genuine hospitality that set the tone for a lovely afternoon. Theo was attentive, friendly, and incredibly professional throughout. She made sure everything was perfect--from keeping our teapots topped up to explaining each of the delicious items on the tray with care and enthusiasm. Her attention to detail and calm, welcoming manner made us feel completely relaxed and well looked after. The food itself was delicious--beautifully presented sandwiches, freshly baked scones, and a tempting selection of sweet treats--but it was Theo's service that turned a great tea into a truly memorable occasion. If you're planning an afternoon tea at The Swan, I highly recommend it--and be sure to ask for Theo. She's a true star! Excellent service.

    We came here without a reservation and seated at a two person table in the back of the empty first…read morefloor. A bit too cozy with no windows in view. Wife had the 23 GBR sea bass which was decent but a very small portion perhaps 4 oz, I had the 20 GBR fish and chips which came with mushy peas. The fish was fantastic at least 8 oz fresh and moist with plenty of flavor. The chips were only so-so, and not up to McDonalds quality. Loved the 9 GBR sticky toffee pudding which came with a dab of vanilla ice cream. When I went upstairs to use the bathroom and found out the place had great views of next door across the street Hyde Park. Three stars for sitting downstairs but would have been four stars if they had seated me in the packed upstairs.
