Some groups book a function room.
Others book a boat and watch Yorkshire drift past the window.

Our Fish & Chips Cruise for groups is one of the most relaxing ways to get together with friends, family, work colleagues or club members from March right through to December.

Step aboard in the heart of Skipton, settle into your table, order a drink from the bar, and enjoy award-winning fish and chips as the Dalesman cruises through the peaceful Leeds & Liverpool Canal countryside.

Freshly wrapped, piping hot, and delivered straight from Bizzie Lizzie’s to your table — proper Yorkshire comfort food on the water.

Perfect for:
• Birthday celebrations
• Coach groups
• Family get-togethers
• Work socials
• Club outings
• Christmas gatherings

Vegetarian, gluten free and alternative options are also available, so everyone can enjoy the trip.

Most people don’t expect one of Yorkshire’s best group nights out to happen at 4mph.

They weren’t meant to go on sale yet… but demand had other ideas. 👀🍟

We’ve added an extra Fish & Chips Cruise on Sunday 19th July at 12pm.

Two peaceful hours drifting through the Yorkshire countryside with award-winning fish and chips from Bizzie Lizzie’s delivered fresh to your table, a fully licensed bar onboard, and some of the calmest views you’ll find anywhere in Skipton.

One of those simple Yorkshire afternoons people remember long after summer ends.

Tomorrow and Wednesday are looking very tempting on the canal… ☕🚤

We still have limited availability on our Afternoon Tea Cruises — the perfect excuse to slow down for a couple of hours and watch Yorkshire drift by from the water. Fresh sandwiches, fruit scones, desserts, unlimited tea and coffee, and some of the most peaceful views in Skipton.

And if you fancy something a little more traditional…

We also have availability on Thursday’s Fish & Chips Cruise at 12 noon 🍟🐟

Award-winning fish and chips, local beers from the bar, and two relaxing hours cruising through the Yorkshire countryside aboard the canal. Proper northern comfort food, served the way it should be — fresh and piping hot.
