Moored in the heart of Hackney Wick, less than three minutes' walk from the station, The Milk Float is one of the busiest summer spots in East London. In winter, heaters, hot cocktails and early sunsets over the water await you.

With a 50-person capacity roof terrace overlooking the water and an intimate cabin space with private booths downstairs, The Milk Float can cater to a range of bookings and events for up to eighty guests.

Serving Five Points beer on tap, a vibrant seasonal cocktail menu and a small but excellent wine list, The Milk Float is a favourite with locals and visitors alike.

Bandito Burger on the back deck offers a delicious selection of Latin-themed burgers, hot dogs and loaded patatas bravas. They have fantastic vegan options too!

Full space hires are offered on a minimum spend basis, and we also have drink/food packages available from £32pp. Get in touch to find out more or to make a booking.





The Milk Float's 'Roof Terrace' overlooks the canal and is the perfect spot to enjoy some hospitality on the water. It's a sun trap in the day and a cosy place to watch the sunset with a sundowner or take in some reflections as the light goes down. With two larger booths and five box tables, the roof terrace has ample room for a range of groups big and small.

With parasols spread out across the terrace, it's an ideal summer hangout for those wanting to enjoy one of our famous cocktails overlooking the water. The roof is also fitted with heaters for those cooler nights, making this the perfect spot to wind down after work and after dark.

The whole Roof Terrace can be reserved for groups of up to fifty guests on an hourly minimum spend (£350ph midweek, £450ph on weekends). For smaller groups wanting to reserve a table or an area, our group packages start out at £32 per person.

    The atmosphere is almost as fantastic as the food and service. The menu is fairly priced for the quality and the cocktails are delicious. The server Maddy was particularly with helping me decide what to order and only tried to push me in the water a handful of times. Would recommend

    Absolutely love the bad boy burger. So good. But really hate the music they play.... Been back a few times n request volume to be lowered which the staff did oblige but it was still too loud...... Techno pop w loud bass, sometimes nice boss nova is played but so loud that it is hard to converse. We went there about half a doz times but gave up as music was just too loud for us. Seems like they are competing w barge east so the whole place is like a loud amusement park.

    A very cool open space for a cafe. Perfect place to hang out with friends. The food were great. The only problem is you can only enjoy at this restaurant when the weather allows. Not cheap, but worth it.

    Great venue on the water. Best burger I've eaten in years...had to tear myself away from eating to take a quick picture! The staff were all very friendly and music didn't interrupt our conversation at all. A great place to have a meal before ABBA Voyage! Next time canoes and cocktails!

    Absolutely stunning location, brilliant staff(special mention to Roan, Maddie, and Isaac) fantastic food. Cocktails are spot on. Looks great from daytime through duck to night. Burgers are spot on! Counting down the days until my next visit.
