Guide To Kittywake Canal Cruises

Booked a fish and chip otle trip for my in-laws as I birthday present and could not be happier with the way it went. The team at Kitty wake looked after them brilliantly there are balloons on the boat to bring my father in law. The fish and chip supper that they had was absolutely delicious and the portion size was amazing. Teammate of gas on the boat feel very welcome and all in all it was a wonderful trip highly recommended

Bought the chippy tea cruise for my parent’s birthday present. They loved it, a gentle canal cruise while having a very nice chippy tea from Walgate Chippy. Highly recommended.

Came with a coach party for a 3-hour lunch cruise from Wigan Pier to Crooke and back aboard the “Elleswake”, and had a really enjoyable afternoon! Steve and his crew made us very welcome, and they could not do enough for us. They were very helpful when we were boarding, and there’s a lift on to the boat for anyone with limited mobility. The “Elleswake” is wide and spacious. It was very clean and nicely decorated, with flowers on the tables and cushions for extra comfort. There’s a toilet at the back of the boat. Our lunchboxes were already waiting for us on the tables. Mine had three small sandwiches, pretzels, a sausage roll, a lovely scone with jam and cream, and a piece of chocolate cake. The sandwiches were really fresh. We could get tea and coffee at the bar as well as alcoholic drinks. Great selection of cocktails (had the passion fruit Martini). The cruise itself was a relaxing experience, gliding past a gentle landscape of fields, woods, and lots of wildflowers growing along the canal banks, and passing through two locks. We were able to move around the boat and take photos if we wished. Sandy was the perfect hostess, very kind, enthusiastic and friendly. On the way back to Wigan Pier, she gave us an informative and entertaining talk about life on the canal and its history, with some funny anecdotes thrown in, and interesting artefacts from Wigan’s industrial past for us to look at. An enjoyable cruise that I would happily recommend!

We hired for a work get-together and had an absolutely amazing time! Everything about the trip was fantastic! Would definitely recommend. Special thanks to Steve, Elle, Maya and Tom for going above and beyond and making us feel so welcome.

Recently organised my sisters hen do for around 40 of us. We had the best time, staff were lovely and was such a good atmosphere. The dj was great. Would highly recommend to book any hen/stag had the best laugh and everyone loved it.

Thanks so much for putting on the best day.
