The Eagle Barge in Highland

Stopped for the night before the lock and decided to have dinner here. You can get bar food as a walk in for lunch and dinner but if you would like a meal you must preorder. Hubs and I had the lamb shank braised in red wine that was Devine- it came with an extra large family size portion of boiled new potatoes, green beans, carrots, and of course while in Scotland Peas. The veg was un- sauced and cooked to tooth🥰. Sister had the vegetarian haggis neeps and tatties…. She enjoyed it said the neeps were delicious. Small and tasty selection of drafts and a bar. The ambiance however is just super with a coal burning stove and the owner a pleasure- she had to leave for a bit to take the dogs out for their business. In the good weather you can sit topside or just off the barge- we were here in October so loved the cozy interior of the barge.

We had the pleasure of dining on two evenings, highly recommended indeed. The food was cooked to perfection. Staff were so welcoming to both ourselves and our dog. Peter Sue & ollie.

Would recommend. Excellent food & drinks Price very good. Host very friendly. Would advice to book a table. Quite easy to find.

Excellent service and,considering the restrictions caused by space and layout on the barge,the food also was excellent. Highly recommended and we will be back!

Ottima cena in barca vicino al lago di Loch Ness Posto molto caratteristico e titolare disponibile e cordiale fino dalla prenotazione Bisogna scegliere cosa mangiare prima dato che hanno pochi piatti ma molto buoni Noi abbiamo optato per il salmone e l’agnello. Porzioni giuste e porzioni abbondanti di verdure Buono anche il dolce Giusto il conto Consigliato

Wonderful place to end a days hike and enjoy the outstanding views from deck. Coped with 70 of us turning up thirsty and weary, a must stop on the Great Glen Way.

A nice pub with indoor and outdoor seating. A very friendly welcome with a great choice of beer on tap. If your looking to eat something special you need to order by 3pm, otherwise it's the bar food menu (which happily hits the right spot).

Went here with friends when we were staying nearby, they couldn't give us a dining table as they were all taken, but we did get a small bench table at the bar. Bar meal was great, very reasonable and the beer was very tasty too....

Had a cup of tea here on a dog walk along the canal. It was ok but nothing special- not fresh milk, just out of a plastic tub. Service was prompt. However, it's a lovely location and there is so much potential.

Awesome food pleasant surroundings staff could not do enough for you real cask ales would recommend it to anyone visiting this area of scotland

This old barge is situated in a beautiful location you even rent local bothies for an overnight stop over at the lock. Had really tasty soup and a doorstop bread slice. Interior interesting mix of furniture and decor great place to visit

We arrived after walking from fort William and we were pooped! Amazing chilli from the bar menu and my hubby tried the chilli challenge which requires you sign a disclaimer. Amazing staff trying to do something different and the food was fantastic! Highly recommended! Xxx

A really fun place, the owner is really upbeat and the place has all kinds of crazy decor. We had som nice food and really good night.

Mi marido y yo estábamos en nuestra luna de miel y quinto día encontré este lugar en tripadvisor. Nos encantó el servicio que recibimos y el barman es ingenioso y loco un juego de tronos/Ventilador/Harry Potter star wars - - él es en la línea correcta de negocios... gente! Las bebidas eran excelentes y la comida caliente y fresco. El dueño/camarero dijo que nunca almacenar los alimentos congelados y todo es fresco.

An unusual setting but worth a visit for a drink and a bite to eat dog friendly.Staff were very friendly

A lovely place to have a drink after a long hike ... Friendly service and a fantastic atmosphere ... Right by the lock ... Did not try the food ...

Somewhere a bit different for a drink and perhaps lunch. Evening meal somewhat overpriced but a pleasant enough way to spend an evening.

We have been visiting this floating bar restaurant over the last few years, we live local and often take visitors there because it is so very quirky in a great location. We have normally opted for the bar 'in basket' food but every now and again we pre order. It has been a couple of years since we did this and were exceptionally disappointed. For the price, which is considerable more expensive than our other local favourites, the food is more like a kids first efforts at grown up food. I had balmoral chicken which had a splodge of oily sweet gunge that also accompanied the haggis meal which neither of us ate. The rest of the food was unremarkable and lacked any seasoning served with a good selection of bland veg. The curry another member of our party had was a jar of sauce, he thought, with extra hot spice added. Too much spice, he ordered hot, not atomic, but was sweating as he ate. But our biggest shock was the bill with an average price of over £15 a head for a main there is much better food for the spend elsewhere in the area.Why did we not complain at the time? we are British - there was a pub quiz on and the place is just too small to say anything without interrupting it.Our advice - yes visit but take lots of cash and stick to the beer!

This quaint little pub/restaurant is a great place to stop along the Great Glen as you make your way between Ft. Williams and Inverness. The dining area in the cabin is small with only 4 tables as I remember, but if the weather cooperates there are additional tables on the open deck. Our meals were good, tasty pub-style fare, nothing special, but we weren't expecting fancy, just decent food and we got it. A good selection of beers, wine, liquor in the bar. Well worth a visit!

Fantastic place a barge on the caledonia canal does cask ale 4 different types, only bottled larger im afraid, ciders and other drinks available.Food was fantastic, even got to watch someone try to enter the hole of curry fame but alas never made it but good try. If you can handle a hot curry why don't you try........I tryed the free taster and left it there.....Food was excellant and the decor fantastic.Well worth the visit even if your just passing.

Approaching Laggen locks we were surprised to see the barge actually still floating. However, on a closer look inside we were amazed to discover a fantastic pub/restaurant. Our host was effective and friendly. They had a great range of whiskies and beers. The menu was simple but varied and the prices were good. In the main season its advisable to book in advance.

Good honest pub grub on the water, very generous portions and well presented good quality food. Take care with the curry, one notch hotter than we are used to, I.e if you like it hot, order medium!!Excellent venue, good service, book in advance as tables are limited.

We called for a very late lunch which was not a problem. The soup and bread was just what was needed and filled the spot nicely. It was great to see a place that welcomed dogs.

A lovely couple run this floating pub. It is moored near the locks in Laggan. You ring or text to book by 3pm. They will ring or text you back with dinner choices. All locally sourced. No starters as mains and puds are so big. We had haggis stuffed chicken breasts. Delicious. Came with a free dram too. They do a mean curry choice too. They also do a very hot curry challenge. You have to sign a waiver before you eat it!! Toilets simple but clean. Log fire. Dogs welcome. Not a massive choice behind the bar but enough to keep you going. They have everything from playing cards and books to light Sabres to play with for entertainment. Thoroughly recommend for a unique night.

Was just driving by when i saw the signpost and thought i would just have a nose to see what was there.To be honest a new brighter sign would attract more customers as people i spoke to didnt know the eagle barge was there as the sign looks very dated ( this comment is meant to be helpfull by the way )Anyway i found the barge and went on board and to be honest i loved the place, the staff were very friendly and polite, the food from what i saw looked lovely, the setting was so warm and homely.I found that you were made to feel at home very quickly especially with the other customers present.Will certainly visit again when next in the highlands later this year.

On our Great Glen walk we stopped here. Unfortunately we didn't book a table in advance, which is necessary for an evening meal.Nevertheless we could choose from the bar menu which was very tasty and reasonable.Very friendly people and you get to chat to everyone. We even were fortunate enough that 2 guests were there who played the guitar and sung (for a cuppa).I loved this place.

Rode here in the rain with 2 kids as wet weather opion. Staff pointed us towards a drying room, threw a log on the fire and had a friendly chat while we waited a very short time for good food (including choice of gluten free options) to arrive. 10yr old daughter's comment "can we come here every time we come to Scotland?". My answer is a whole hearted yes. Hidden gem full of character.

While on our holiday . We came here twice . Food was lovely . The inside decor is interesting . A very friendly place . I would recommend this place

We turned up here today for lunch, having emailed to ask if they were open as we'd be cycling, and it's long way from anywhere else to eat. Only to find a rather snarky young woman who said, oh, they weren't doing food today. We were starving! And I had emailed! But she just shrugged and said, well, we're open, aren't we?When I emailed to complain, the manager said that my original email hadn't asked about food, "so the error lays with you".I didn't ask if you had bubonic plague, either, but I'd expect you to mention it.If you go here, email beforehand and ask if they have food, if the lights work, if the loo flushes and if the boat has sunk. Otherwise, the error "lays" with you.

On a barge on the Caledonian Canal. This is a friendly and welcoming bar/restaurant. Good selection of drinks and although we only had bar food it was hearty and filling. You will need to book in advance if you want to have dinner there as they cook to order.Grab yourself a drink and go and sit up on top of the barge and savour the Highland scenery - nowhere more beautiful for a pint as you walk, cycle or sail along the canal.

We hadn't booked so we could only have a quick drink here. It's well worth a look and the staff are welcoming and friendly. You can see swords that featured in brave heart, star wars and Lord of the rings!! Wide range of whisky on offer.

This was the most amazing pub experience ever. Live singing and playing by both the customers and the employees, nerve gun fight and much more. Didn't expect this. Don't miss the crazy chili challenge!!

After a day of walking 18 miles on the Great Glen Way, we needed a relaxed, easy going dinner to complete our day. The Eagle Barge was fit the bill perfectly. The small menu had plenty of tasty options, and even a vegetarian choice for my wife. I had the chili and she had the Tomato Basil pasta. They had a fully stocked bar and I had a fantastic drought beer. Make that 2 fantastic draft beers. Victoria was our server and she was awesome. She had a great smile, and the service was fast and very friendly. Oh, and the best part... they even gave us a lift back to our bed and breakfast. Ya gotta stop by this floating pub if you are ever in the area.

Un posto carino per una sosta dopo una giornata di cammino, specialmente perchè fuori stava piovendo, è stato bello potersi rilassare all'asciutto sorseggiando una bevanda calda mentre la proprietaria si è offerta di chiamare per me il B&B dove sarei dovuta stare per farmi venire a prendere.L'atmosfera è abbastanza spartana, ma piacevole. Al mio arrivo non c'era la possibilità di mangiare, ma su ordinazione preparano piatti caldi.

We prebooked on advice from our accommodation and could not have been happier with the food and service. We both had the slow roasted lamb shank which fell off the bone with a fabulous rosemary and red wine sauce (we got given an extra jug of sauce each too!) - also came with plenty of veg. Very generous portions and tasted amazing. Followed by caramel apple pie with icecream which we also devoured. Excellent quality food. The barge itself is a fun place to eat with lots to look at and talk about. It was well priced too. Added bonus we were given a lift back to our accommodation afterwards!

Wonderful restaurant and bar in a converted Dutch barge moored at Laggan Lock. We had a great seafood fayre (lobster, crab claw, langoustines, shellfish and prawns) and a whole trout cooked with orange, lemon and lime. Need to order in the afternoon to enable them to access the fresh ingredients. Also good selection of real ales. They even dropped us off to our B&B after our meal as part of their service.

A good place to stop whether walking, cycling, canoeing or driving. The hosts give you a good welcome and the food is fresh and delicious. Certainly a hidden gem that I found a few years ago while walking and cycling the Great Glen Way. The hosts will help you dry out if it is a dreich day.

We have just returned home after three nights in the Great Glen, we ate on the Eagle Barge on two occasions, you have to book for a restaurant meal but you can pop in for a bar meal, on the Sarurday night we had ordered chicken with Peopercorn sauce, my other half said it was the best peppercorn sauce he has ever had! I had haggis neeps and tattles with a yummy Whiskey sauce, also we both had cheesecake, which just pushed me over the limits of fullness, we ate there on Monday night too, we phoned to book and we were sent a text with the menu so we could choose what we wanted that night, other half had the chicken with peppercorn sauce AGAIN, and I had chicken Tikka Massala, very very tasty, the other thing we liked about the Eagle Barge was the friendliness of the couple who run it,and also the Irish lass who served us on Monday night, AND the choice of real ale that was on offer. We actually were on the barge every day of our stay, so nice to meet so many lovely people in one place.We would recommend the Eagle Barge to anyone in the vicinity.Thank you

The owners have taken a river barge and converted it into a delightfully charming restaurant and pub. It is moored right beside the Laggan Locks and easy to miss -- unless you are hiking the Great Glen Way, in which case you can't and won't miss it. The food was good pub food and the service incredibly friendly. The atmosphere was delightful and the staff was wonderful. This was truly unforgettable.

Great grub, great atmosphere and service. Ran us back to the B&B afterwards.You have to book and order in advance - it's small and remote. They don't take cards but you can pay with PayPal!!Really unique experience, don't miss it if you are doing the Great Glen.

We took my wife’s mother and dad here for an afternoon treat, my daughter came along too and we had a lovely meal.Two of us had the chilli, two had the sausage sandwich and one had the tomato & basil pasta. It was all from the lunch time menu and they were all very nice, hot and tasty. The ladies shared a bottle of wine, the Pinot Grigio and they loved it. Dad and I had a pint of real ale, they again were really nice and tasty.The staff are friendly and helpful.The evening meals look like a treat so we are already looking to visit again on Saturday night.Cant Wait!!!

We stopped here for end of walking day beers and it was fabulous. Had read about the barge before we visited but still didn't really know what to expect. It really is like a cosy little bar when you get inside - a small bar, tables at one end and a lounge area at the other. Not the most luxurious of settings but a lot of fun.We didn't eat here but we did witness a young man successfully attempting to consume the "world's hottest chilli" to have his picture enshrined on the Wall of Flame. It was interesting watching Michael undertaking the challenge closely supervised by the bar staff and chef to ensure no liquids were consumed during the attempt and for a set period after. Several of us like chilli but watching Michael's discomfort was enough to put us off a similar attempt and spicy food in general for several days.If you are passing nearby definitely take the time to drop in for something quite different.

Well what can I can say about this place, unusual, cosy and great value for money!We had the sea food platter each, which was £25 and it was money well spent! It was absolutely tremendous, and we were at it for a good 35-40 minutes! The staff and chef were really friendly and the prices are really good! In a warm day you can sit out on the deck with the amazing scenery as a backdrop, and if the weather is bad you can keep warm within, next to the wood burning stove..... Perfect!!!

Clare and I only popped in for a drink whilst walking the GGW. Well it would be rude to walk past wouldn't it.The place made an impact on me straight away; mind your head if you are over 5ft 8in or so. The beer was nicely kept and served well. Sitting on the terrace overlooking the Loch and the canal was very pleasant. We looked at the menu and it looked like it would be just the sort of food welcome to walkers. Simple, filling and unpretentious. I'm really gutted it was only a flying visit but will go back for dinner next time I'm in the Highlands.

Fabulous! Wonderful! Everything we wanted and more!! What more can we say - we had eaten here a number of times of the last 7 years and when we realised they held a wedding licence we knew there was only one place to get married.. Fabulous food - seafood platter & our choices from Will's extensive repetoire. Canapes. Desserts made by Victoria & Carol - all absolutely wonderful. Will & Victoria plus Paul & Jan & Carol couldn't do enough for us -a truly wonderful experience. Finished off with Will arranging for a UK Champion bagpiper to attend and 3 local musicians for evening of fun. Thanks to everyone. AND the sun shone & we had no midges!!

Family run restaurant. Definitely book in advance and check out the website for the menu, cos they need to know your choices by 3, so they can buy your dinner (we were tied up opposite and watched boxes of food arrive) so you know it's fresh. The seafood platter was AMAZING and the stuffed pepper veggie option was the best my daughter has ever had. Staff were very friendly and the inside of the barge is very interesting. Would definitely recommend. Oh -cash or cheque.

Our B and B hostess alerted us to this restaurant last spring when we booked a room with her in Laggan. This restaurant is in a beautifully restored old barge. Not many tables, and our meal was cooked to order --- we actually were asked to order in advance from the menu on Facebook, so that it could be ready for us. It was the best meal that we had in our 3 weeks in the UK this summer. Seafood was great. Service was friendly and professional. The whole experience was truly unforgettable.

Arrived just for sunset with a clear sky...but just missed dinner time (5:30-8:30)..so must go again next time and grab some of that good food everybody recommends...A must if you are in the area....also, South Laggan is such a beautiful area..

Pre-book your meal choice so that it's freshly delivered for your reservation! My daughter loves seafood but couldn't manage a whole seafood platter, they kindly offered to do a half portion for her, which was excellent, my husband had the chicken balti and I had the salmon steak - all excellent, served with a smile! They also have 'basket' meals available, such as scampi and chips etc. Quirky venue for a restaurant, it was very busy due to sailboat hire customers, the staff coped really well. Would most definitely go back and recommend to others.

Visited The Eagle a long time ago when it was owned by a rather eccentric Scotsman who basically told you what you were having. We had a great couple of fun nights there and it was like sitting in someone's living room rather than a bar/restaurant.We knew it had changed hands so as we were on the canal decided to take another look. Alas, it was closed however and we missed it. One point however that I think the owner must address. It looked really scruffy!! It would cost nothing to tidy it all up a bit. Dead plants in the pots and a general air of dilapidation. When Gordon had it there were flowers all over the barge and it looked like a place you wanted to go to in fact it was fully booked days ahead.I hope the current owners up their game and restore the barge to its former glory.

Travelled all the way there after checking opening times to find the place closed, we were not the only ones, plenty couples had also turned up. Very disappointing...not good for Scottish Hospitality!!!!

We booked an evening meal (which involved specifying what basic items we wanted to eat so that it could be ordered in - fair enough). On arrival we had difficulty getting the (slightly dippy) bar girl / waitress to serve us some drinks but eventually got them and sat at our table. We were then somewhat surprised when the chef then came straight out of the kitchen with our meals already plated up. No discussion about how we wanted it cooked, no offer of a starter, no offer of wine, no time to relax and finish our beers.The food was OK - we've had better, had worse. However, the bill when it came was a bit of a surprise - pretty expensive for what we'd had. We won't be back.

The Eagle is a Dutch barge floating in the Caledonian Canal, and now serving as a restaurant and pub. It's easily accessed by boat (!), road, or on foot from the Great Glen Way. As you might expect, it is full of atmosphere, full of maritime artifacts, and the staff are friendly and welcoming.The sit-down restaurant is quite small - there were 13 places set the evening we called - and you need to ring up to reserve a table and also choose your meal. It's a good idea to check prices at the same time as you need to pay cash - they don't take plastic. There's no starters - just main course, pudding, and teas/coffees.The meals are simple food, simply cooked, and quite delicious. If you're serving a whole trout full of flavour, why drown it in fancy sauces? The puddings looked bought in rather than made on board, but enjoyable all the same.At just under £50 for the two us us including drinks and teas/coffees, it was good value.And yes, it does have a duplicate entry at http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g635692-d2089645-Reviews-Eagle_Barge_Inn-Spean_Bridge_Scottish_Highlands_Scotland.html

We were staying nearby at The Great Glen Lodges and after attending the Mountain biking we had a couple of great social evenings on the barge. Victoria and Will made us welcome and kept the company entertained, well fed and well watered.The Friday night jam session was just class and Sundays friendly banter and quiz made it another memorable evening. We hope to be back soon.

We hired a cruise boat for a week and managed a Lunch and two Evening meals on the barge......Its full of interesting artefacts, the staff very nice and the beer was ace! Lots of whiskies nice customers and I thoroughly reccomend the seafood platter.Book early or be you maybe dissapointed as its not the bigggest place! Cash only....

Wonderfully eccentric friendly Pub Barge - Family Run by the lovely Will and owned by his Parents - Local Musicians Jamming most nights - no cards accepted by Will let us run a tab all weekend :-) Made a few local friends in here - highly recommended!

We found the eagle while sailing by on a wet and cold day, it was a very welcoming place and very accommodating to people and pets alike! The menu is basic in the afternoon but we enjoyed our choices. They also did takeaway chips for our supper that night after we moored nearby, which were very nice. Would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

Exploring South Laggan one late Burns Night afternoon; I wandered down a short stretch of the Great Glen Way from the Great Glen Hostel to Laggan Locks to the Eagle Barge Inn. With the night and weather drawing-in, I was pleasantly surprised to find the pub open in off-season and ducked-in for 'a drink'. The warm and friendly welcome from the staff (Will and Victoria) and locals; combined with high-quality banter made for a memorable visit (and a few more drinks than originally anticipated). Will even gave me a lift back to the hostel.The Bar has a good selection of local ales, with a cosy layout and oodles of character and atmosphere.Next time I'm in the area I'll definitely ensure I stop by for another pint and some of their fare.

Very welcoming with a fine selection of Scottish ales and malts, friendly staff and cool decor. The barge is a great place to chill after a walk.

A Dutch Barge that has been converted into a bar and restaurant. Found this place several years ago, now we never pass without dropping in, always a warm welcome from Jan and Paul, who are now starting to enjoy a semi retirement, they still do a couple of days a week, don't worry though son Will with loads of help from Victoria will look after you. Food is excellent, local ales can always be found there. If you need help with what Whisky you may like, just ask, Jan will help you. They have some great music nights if you are a musician or a singer you will be able to join in.

We stopped off on our Caledonian Canal boat trip and the food was great, beer was great... all round a good experience. We've been meaning to call in for years! Glad we did.We called in in the afternoon, and returned in the evening. Very busy in the evening and its not the largest pub! So definately book in advance if you want food.

Visited for a meal whilst walking the Great Glen Way, if you are in the area you must visit, excellent experence, the food is very good especially the seafood platter. The chef didn't hesitate to provide advice on how to tackle the large dish of lobster, crab and other shell fish. One end of the barge is the eating area consising of three tables , the other is the bar area with sofa, confortable chairs, and wood burner. The chef even drove us back to our guest house after the meal. My only negative comment would be regarding price, it's a bit expensive, otherwise very good. Tip.. make a reservation.

We used this place on two occasions the food was good as was the beer. The young staff were very pleasant and the dogs,,, entertaining. Interesting environment,

On our boating holiday on the Caledonian Canal we stopped at this place for a light lunch and found it surprisingly spacious and friendly. We were intrigued enough to go again in the evening but make sure you book in advance if you want the better things on the menu as otherwise it will be bar snacks only. The meals are not fancy but are well cooked and presented and is good solid fare. Guests are invited to play music/sing/entertain if they want to. Thought the prices were a little on the expensive side but the cheeseboard for 3 was massive - ate what we could and we took the rest home.

On a recent trip up to the Great Glen we stopped in for a few drinks on our way from Fort William back to our lodge at the Great Glen Water Park, we enjoyed the atmosphere so much that we went to back for tea later that week. Even though we were a party of 9 they filled all of us with excellent currys ranging from mild to the extreme! Also the cook is an amazing magician with cards! All in all it was an excellent experience and I urge anyone you is passing to go in for a drink or some food! You will be amazed! Thanks again for an fantastic experience and atmosphere!

Vi kom en kald og våt dag for å se på slusene. Slusene var bare greie sluser, men opplevelsen ble den flytende puben som vi fant! Det var lite folk denne dagen, og det var sikkert heldig for oss. Vi koste oss i denne spesielle puben!

The exterior of this place is a mess and dosent look very appealing. However, venture downstairs and its very different. A decent selection of beer and whiskey. The basket meals are a bit basic but nice all the same. Our advice is to book a table or you will end up dissapointed like us. Service is a bit haphazard.

Best night out in ages, the food was beautiful in taste and presentation. We were warned of the land lord's "off days" but being cheeky was good fun. Our party laughed the whole time and it had a real family feel. The chef/bar man/waiter/magician/taxi driver was a great part of this family business, I wish that this was a place I could easily get to, but then this is part of the charm. Dont miss out, book early and stay late to experience this charming treasure.

4 of us stopped here for dinner and had a fantastic evening. Our dishes ranged from a Chicken Jalfrazi, Haggis neeps and tatties and a cold seafood platter, everything was presented and tasted wonderful. The after dinner-show was a plus, the young chef does magic and card tricks and up close you still can't tell how he does them. The Eagle Barge is not big so book in advance and enjoy good food and a fun evening.

You will be sure to get a great welcome aboard The Eagle. It is a unique experience. I had the hot sea food platter. It was wonderful and excellent value. Do not miss the "Barge Mess" desert of chocolate brownie base caramel fudge pieces cream. Yummy. The have a good selection of well kept real ales and scotches. The Barge encourages people to bring musical instruments and give a tune and the landlord may join in on his squeeze box. We had an unforgettable evening of good food, beer and live music in the most friendly of atmospheres. Be sure to phone ahead to check opening times and book a table.

Kayaking the Great Glen this very wet early May we came across The Eagle Barge, not sure about what to expect, we entered and found the best part of our journey. The welcome we received was genuine and warm, the beer was fantastic, the food wholesome and filling, the woodburner roaring. We actually stayed an extra night in order to further sample the superb hospitality of the proprietor Paul,his chef, and of course Beau the friendly German Shepherd. We are already planning our return to Laggan!

This is the only real place to get something to eat at this part of the Great Glen Way. Literally and metaphorically. And that's no shame because it is fantastic. The meals are hearty, healthy and great value. The selection of drinks is grand too. The folk who run this eclectically decorated barge on the Caledonian Canal are welcoming, friendly and funny. Welcomes kids, dogs, wet and dripping hikers. Not to be missed.

So pleased to find this welcome retreat in a beautiful rural setting. Made to feel really welcome,children friendly, food lovely, service swift, very interesting boat. Only wish we had musical talent in our party to play the guitar would not wish to burden the clientele with acoustic singing from teenage would b girl band members! Looking forward to our return

We booked an evening meal here to round off our Caledonian Canal cruise on a yacht hired from West Highland Sailing at Laggan Locks. It's necessary to inform the Barge owners of your menu choice in advance as the food is cooked to order from fresh ingredients, sourced locally. This shows in the quality of the dishes, which are very well cooked and presented. The bar is comprehensively stocked with real ales and a fine selection of malts. Our final bill was very reasonable, given the quality of the food and service. The ambience of the Barge is warm and welcoming, and provided a memorable end to our holiday.

This is my first review on tripadvisorAnd I only do so to ensure others come to this wee gem off a resturant/pub/place to meet good people.The food was great.The beer was cold.The banter was good.What more could you ask forIf ur on the caladonian canalOr just passing by car A place to visit

We were a group of guys heading up to the Isle of Skye for a week when yet again one wanted to eat. Luckily I caught the sign for the floating pub and pulled in. What a surprise.. a great lplace to find. A beautiful setting with a friendly welcome, good beer, comfort food and great choice of whiskey. Good luck to the guy we met in there doing the John o groats to lands end walk for army charity. A unique little gem.

Stayed at Laggan for a week in July with daughter and son-in-law. Went to the Eagle on the first night for a bar meal; it was so good we went back on four further nights either for food or just a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable evening. This is one of the friendliest and most enjoyable places I have visited in many years of travelling. A word of warning though, if you intend sampling a lot of the inns and pubs in the area don't start with the Eagle because if you do you probably won't bother to see the rest, it really is that good!Thanks for a great week, good atmosphere, good food, good drink, live music and magic at the bar; what more could you ask for?
