Welcome to

Water Lane Boathouse

Water Lane Boathouse is the brainchild of the people who brought you Belgrave Music Hall, Headrow House and Super Friendz.

Built in the early 1800’s the building is situated at Lock Number One on Canal Wharf and was originally a shipment warehouse for the Leeds to Liverpool canal, later becoming a granary storehouse for threshed grain.

The building is spread over two floors and has a large outdoor area overlooking the canal. The upstairs features a small bar and is available seven days a week for private hire.

All the branding for Water Lane Boathouse was designed by Duo and website was Built by Mike, the team behind the Headrow House branding.

Hungry?

Food is available from 12pm seven days a week. Each morning the Small Victories bakery makes the bread for our sandwiches from scratch. Our pizza dough is made using just three ingredients: Organic Yorkshire flour, water and salt. We prove the dough slowly over 24 hours. This gentle process helps break down the gluten in the dough, creating a much lighter pizza.

The menu consists of sourdough pizzas, hot and cold sandwiches and great selection of healthy salad bowls.

Small Victories

Our Small Victories oven was handmade in Naples by the Stefano Ferrara team. Made with secret techniques (no lie) and craftsmanship handed down over three generations, the Stefano Ferrara pizza ovens are made from bricks and cement in Napoli and then shipped fully formed all over the world. Ours is massive and could fit a small family inside it, which we haven’t tried but can assure you that it’s a right monster.

Our kitchen is open plan so feel free to come upstairs and have a look at who’s making your pizza and say hello to the team.
