Charters Cafe Bar  

The pub is a Dutch barge built in 1907 and now moored upstream of town bridge. In fact it is opposite the site of the Peterborough beer festival and provides a haven from the afternoons when the festival is closed. It was pub of the year 1994.

There is a large restaurant above the drinking area with good wholesome food - now doing oriental food at lunchtimes. Food is served 12-2.30pm and evenings 5-10pm, though there are different timings for the different types of food served - Thai, Pizza, Burgers.

It stocks a range of Oakham Ales plus guest ales. There are always 8 beers on sale.

No accommodation of course (worse luck), though there are plenty of places to stay within a stone throw. Try calling the tourist information.

Bound to be busy around festival time as they had something like 40,000 visitors last time - I accounted for at least four of those!
