Super place

Finally made it to Buddha Barge and so glad we made the effort. Ben and Kellee were really welcoming and Kellee went above and beyond to accommodate my wife’s dietary requirements. The food was delicious and all home cooked from scratch. The location is very special in a narrow boat on the Grand Union.

Pros: Home cooked food, Welcoming hosts, Location

Cons: None

Great Food, Great Drinks and Lovely Owners

We stoped in on a dog walk and had a lovely vegan breakfast with vegan hot chocolate and coffee. Very healthy vegan food, felt nourished! They have a lovely welcoming feel and sweet dog. Great to sit by the canal and go for a walk.

Superb home-cooked food in unique setting

Lovely friendly vibes from the owner and staff of this canal boat restaurant/café.
Sit inside or in the garden area, fresh ingredients and cooked to order..large portions, can't recommend highly enough.
Near Ivinghoe, parking, dog friendly 🙂

Clean and Healthy food in a peaceful place

The food felt healthy and lovingly made, the barge has a little fireplace that made it feel serene. I really enjoyed it and could have stayed all day. I highly recommend it.

Incredible!

I didn't get photos of food this time, but will definitely be back, and hopefully soon! Kellee is a wonderful host who makes incredible food for your soul. Nutritious, honest, delicious, and comforting.

The barge is beautiful and welcoming, and a lovely place to sit and relax with friends.

Organic whole food

It doesn’t happen very often to come across a whole food plant based eatery, organic too. A really great find on the way from the Luton airport. I’m pretty sure we will be visiting again. The owner is approachable, very nice to talked to with a great work ethic. Food is great and so is the setting. Recommended!

Cons: Coriander not listed as ingredient in dishes
