The Boat on the Dock in Gloucester

Walking past the narrow boat, we decided it was time for an ice cream. This seemed a quirky choice and tickled our fancy. Initially we were aiming for a cone as a take-away but it was quiet on the boat and the host friendly. Therefore we sat and enjoyed an excellent ice cream on board. The flavours were limited to strawberry, vanilla and chocolate but the ice cream was delicious. We chatted at length to the on duty staff member who was delightful. We had already had lunch but the menu looked appetizing and the coffee smelt excellent.

Nice spot on the water and an independent business not a chain. Great coffee and the menu looked good but we had just eaten elsewhere. The owner was friendly. The barge could do with a spruce up but it was very clean. Next time we will have a meal there. Highly recommended and quirky.

Extremely overpriced. Value for money quite poor. Just cashing due to this cafe being on an old barge. Quite slow service also Would have been better off at Costa !

Great place to stop for a swift cup of tea or coffee right up to a decent fast menu. Nice place to watch the world go by on a sunny day.

Love quirky, independent cafes, Boat on the Dock is just that. Lovely welcome, great coffee and enticing display of sweet treats. Loved the fresh flowers on each table and the chill ability of the place.

Wandering through Gloucester Docks on a cold day, we were delighted to chance upon this lovely place. Great coffee, lovely staff and a fascinating menu. Do visit if you are in the vicinity!

Lovely concept, nice atmosphere, friendly and accommodating staff. Only had coffee, but cakes look amazing! Dog friendly too!
