By The Barge restaurant to close from this Saturday

“Covid and the cost of operating the food service has finally caught up with us. It would be unfair to put all the price increases that we are experiencing onto loyal customers.
“We are stepping back from the food service for a little while to re-evaluate the situation. It is genuinely difficult for all of us and we will be back at some point. Love from The Barge and all her crew.”
Many were sad the hear the news, offering their support and sharing their love for the establishment.
One wrote: “Oh no! Such a shame. Me and my daughter love coming for a bite to eat. Hope you can get it back up and running at some point.”
Another Wrote: “Gutted, best food around in town. Definitely won’t stop coming for drinks though.”
