Welcome to Boat Street

We are an award winning cafe based on a narrowboat moored at Mercia Marina, Derbyshire.  We also operate a variety of regular canal boat trips on our widebeam, the Mercia Swan.

How to find us

Boat Street cafe is located along a path that leads behind Midland Chandlers, over a bridge. Spot the troll guarding the canal entrance of the marina!

​

You can find the Mercia Swan boat trips down from the Boardwalk pub, it is green with a cream roof and usually has fairy lights around it. Look out for grey signs across the site pointing to "canal boat cafe" and "canal boat trips"

“Perfect Lunch... Called in for lunch today whilst walking to Findern. I have visited this cafe lots of times and have never been disappointed. I had a BLT which was cooked just how I like it. I am so lucky to have this on my doorstep. The owners are passionate about their business and lovely people."

"My cousin and I visited for the first time today and what a lovely treat it was! The setting is idyllic and definitely right up my 'boat' street being around water and especially on a boat! Food was enjoyable and filling, reasonably priced too. Good selection of drinks and very friendly staff. Highly recommend. Will be visiting again."

"Brilliant local cafe in a great location. We visited in September. Very pretty location with views across the water. Ample seating with sun shades. Menu was varied with plenty of choice. We ordered a wrap each and a hot drink. Very tasty food with friendly service.
A little gem with great prices for these times."
