The Galley micro bar
The Galley at Swillbrook Boatyard is a delightful little waterside bar and gathering place on the Lancaster Canal,
Open mostly during the UK summer months at the moment, the cafe-style bar welcomes boaters, walkers, cyclists and local residents alike.
The Galley is tucked away behind the boatyard, overlooking the water in a quiet canal-side setting, which offers mostly outdoor seating, with a cosy indoor space for cooler days. The perfect place to slow down, enjoy a drink surrounded by nature and watch the boats drift by.
We serve craft ales alongside espresso coffee and a carefully chosen selection of other beverages, with rustic homemade food when available, from our small galley-style kitchen.
The Galley is known for its homely atmosphere, quality ingredients and relaxed approach to hospitality. Susie’s freshly made weekend cakes being a favourite with many returning visitors throughout the season.
When open the Galley hosts a variety of friendly community events including Halloween quizzes, curry nights and German Beer Festival celebrations and this year hopes to introduce a more artistic approach during the week with art workshops run by resident artist Susie George. The space is also available for private hire, making it an ideal location for small gatherings, celebrations and informal events in a peaceful Lancashire canal-side setting.
