Up Lawling Creek there has for many years been one of the friendliest little marinas we’ve had the pleasure to drop into – The Blackwater Marina. http://www.blackwater-marina.co.uk/

My mate and I recently went over to those parts, by road, for a visit to the Sea-change Sailing Trust to deposit a collection box … while there we noticed that the bar & bistro had been givena make-over. When last at the marina by water the bar and new bistro were being run as separate entities, however, a new team has come aboard and all looks even better, especially for discerning boaters who love a good meal ashore from time to time…

The Bistro’s calling card with contact information…

Alongside the changes in operators and decor, the owners have purchased a section of the unused field across the marina access lane from the sailing club which has been fitted out as a ‘beer’ garden.

Now for some details:

Breakfast is served from 0900- 1200 on Saturday & Sunday.

Luncheon is served 1200-1800 from Monday to Saturday. (& Sunday)

Bistro evenings, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday 1800-2100.

Booking is advised for evenings and on Sunday for luncheons.

If berthed in the marina, do say and there is a ‘customer’ reduction…

Enjoy: we are certainly heading that we in the near future…
