Whittington’s is a modern, light and airy wide beam canal barge, built in 2012 and is family run and owned by Andrew and Lesley Whittington. Andrew is not only a keen cook, with a passion for creating delicious meals but he is also a descendent of the original Dick Whittington!! His grandfather was Richard Whittington, who was related to the original Dick Whittington. So, the name was born – and the Whittington’s logo even includes Dick’s cat in its design.Lesley is a professional singer, who studied at the Royal Academy of Music. Today she combines teaching with running Whittington’s, and has her own quirky versions of carols for this fun event!

Whittingtons Tea Barge is moored on the north bank of the River Thames, alongside Hills Meadows on George Street in Reading. There’s plenty of parking just a few steps away in the Hill’s Meadows Car Park and you will find them moored on the Thames at the bottom of the Car Park. They are just across the bridge from the circular block of the Thames Water offices, close to Reading town centre and the railway station, making public transportation an easy option.
