A narrowboat-turned-café serving up good quality Neapolitan pizza whilst offering beautiful canal side views is to appear on a new Channel 4 series this week.
Usually found along the Macclesfield Canal between Stockport and Cheshire, The Waltzing Matilda boat has become popular with boaters and walkers alike since first opening to the public in 2021.

Utilising nearby seating areas on the towpaths where they moor up, they have established a firm fanbase often attracting queues throughout the day.
The pair, who both have full-time jobs, only operate the boat seasonally and during the weekend, but it also features freshly-roasted coffee and artisan bakes from local bakeries as well as Chris’ sister Rebecca.
