The Canal Turn

About The Canal Turn

Originally built as the Canal Warden’s house, this Carnforth listed building was converted into a pub in 2001 and with its beautiful canalside location it has become a real destination venue. New owners took over in 2018 and at The Barge Café you can enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner here every day. Drop in from 9.30am onwards for breakfast or maybe a coffee and a cake, scone or flapjack from the chalkboard specials. The main menu is now available right through from 12 noon until 8.30pm daily. Expect starters such as Smoked salmon and avocado salad and mains like burgers, grills, lasagne, cottage pie and fish & chips as well as light bites including sandwiches, paninis and jackets and soup, salad and all-day breakfasts. The food offering is complemented by a good selection of wines, beers and spirits as well as Lyons Coffee, Whittard Tea and Wallings Ice Cream. The spacious conservatory was added a couple of years ago as part of a £250,000 refurbishment to really make the most of the canal views and there is also a snug area and a mezzanine which is ideal for parties and the regular music nights.
