Eating and Drinking on the Staffs and Worcs Canal
The Staffs and Worcs Canal is a scenic 46-mile route connecting Great Haywood and Stourport. Opened in 1772, it winds through countryside, woodlands, and villages, with highlights like Bratch Locks and Kinver. Popular with boaters and walkers, the canal offers wildlife, canal-side pubs, and easy access to attractions -a peaceful way to explore the heart of England.
Eating and drinking by UK canals is a classic British pleasure, blending scenic views with great food. Towpaths along 2,000 miles of waterways are lined with historic pubs—many once serving boatmen—offering hearty meals, Sunday roasts, and local ales, with moorings for narrowboats. The waterways now also feature independent cafés, tea rooms, and restaurants in converted warehouses, especially in areas like London’s Grand Union Canal and the Kennet & Avon Canal. Popular venues such as The Rowbarge at Woolhampton and The Dundas Arms at Kintbury attract visitors with outdoor terraces, seasonal menus, and regular events. Whether stopping during a towpath walk or arriving by boat, canalside eateries provide a peaceful setting to enjoy local flavors, wildlife, and Britain’s waterway heritage.
