The Battersea Barge were incredibly helpful in facilitating a space for a birthday party. The online team were super responsive and I was able to meet Murtaza in advance to look at the space and decide on the best area. Overall would definitely recommend the barge for any event :)

30th Birthday Party · 60 guests · March 2025 · Lower Deck

All hopes of having a great time were met with ease at the Battersea barge. From communication about viewing the venue (which they recommended) to testing the audio prior to the event, pre-ordering and food/drinks - everything sailed smoothly. As soon as interest was expressed, detailed information was shared with regards to options and next steps. The setting of the barge can’t be beaten and everyone who visited remarked on how unique and nice the place was. Thirsty guests found themselves a nice drink at the bar; hungry ones munched on some pizzas and garlic bread; breathless ones climbed to the terrace to steal some stunning views of the city line. The sound system at the venue was perfect and I played music from my phone. The staff were very friendly and patient. From greeting upon arrival to ensuring that everyone on board was having a good time. Kudos to the team who run this place. It’s definitely a spot to regular. Overall a 10/10 experience. Had a memorable evening.

Chips / fries would be a nice add to the food menu.

Pub · 50 guests · August 2022 · Whole Boat/ Partial Boat hire

Great venue. And great space to host any event. Staff were accommodating to all our needs and made it all work to come together. Drinks prices and atmosphere were really good for being in Battersea.

The pricing of the food package is extremely high and over priced. A very small cheese platter for 30-40 people- no where near enough crackers and for the Price of £250 is insane. Definitely not worth the money

Riverside · 25 guests · July 2022 · East Deck (partially covered)

Drinks catering was great, the venue great, the staff very helpful and the way they set aside the space for the party was great.

There was a lack of clarity and inconsistent information about whether food would be available and when. In the end, food was not available, and we wish we had known that prior and during the party. Otherwise we would have ordered in, but were left hanging for some time when the messaging was unclear and staff could not confirm whether they could provide food or not. Please be more clear in your messaging prior and during about capacity of food delivery
