Roast Dinner Cruise

Skipton Boat Trips are running a roast dinner cruise from Coach St, Leeds on Tuesday 10 November, combining a meal on the water with a trip through the Yorkshire countryside. The boat sets off from the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, which is the longest canal in Britain at 127 miles and dates back to 1816, when it was built to carry coal, stone, cloth and other cargo. It's a waterway that's seen plenty of history, and this trip takes you along a stretch of it that's usually only seen from the towpath.

While the boat is moving, you'll be served authentic pan-South Asian cuisine by Pitra Waterfront, and there's a licensed bar on board if you fancy a drink with your meal. The combination of the food and the changing scenery makes it more of a full afternoon or evening out than a quick bite. The cruise is run by Skipton Boat Trips, a company that's been hiring canal boats on this waterway for more than 30 years and offers both guided trips and the chance to be your own skipper.

If you're thinking of booking, the cruise runs on Tuesday 10 November, departing from Coach St in Leeds, with prices starting from £48.
