Moored in Bristol’s historic harbour, Grain Barge is a relaxed spot for enjoying delicious food made from locally-sourced seasonal ingredients, with our extensive range of craft beers, local ciders and wines.
Open:Mon-Thu 12-11pm | Fri-Sat 12pm-12am | Sun 12-10pm
We serve delicious, honest food that celebrates the best seasonal produce from local farms and suppliers. Our mission to work as sustainably as we can informs all our choices; who we work with, the ingredients in our ever changing menus, and the drinks we pour at our bar.
We serve a veg focused and seafood menu, all made fresh onboard.
Our ingredients are sourced from trusted local suppliers, and our 5 Acre Farm in nearby Backwell. 5 Acre is a Community Interest farm, where the driving aim is to feed back into the land and its surrounding community. With this work the farm hopes to insure the health of the soil, and its ecosystem, for years to come.
For our fish, we choose MSC certified suppliers and species. When buying farmed fish we choose organic. We use the Good Fish Guide to guide us on best sourcing methods, along with advice from the Marine Conservation Society. All of our eggs are organic and free range, from Haresfield Farm in Wiltshire. Our milk and cream is from Bruton Dairy in the Cotswolds.
DRINK
Enjoy a range of craft beers, lagers and ciders from some of the UK’s most exciting independent breweries. Our selection of cask and keg ales includes award-winning beers from Bristol Beer Factory, plus a carefully curated roster of guest breweries.
