Paddle to the Pub

What better way to travel to the pub than being on the water under the shadows of woodland along the River Medway. Suitable for beginners to competent paddlers, this experience with your fully qualified SUP Instructor will cover the basics of paddling, all while travelling by paddleboard to The Boathouse in Yalding where a reserved outdoor table for all paddlers will be waiting for you.

Typically this activity takes place on a Friday night arriving for dinner or a Saturday or Sunday morning, arriving for a well deserved brunch. Food and drinks can be ordered on arrival.

Our Paddle to the Pub sessions are for over-18s only.

We’ll provide you with all equipment and drybags for your anything you'd like to take on your board. We cannot provide wetsuits for this experience. We suggest that you park at the Boathouse and get a taxi or a lift to the Paddle Cabin to start your experience with us, and your car is then waiting for you at the Boathouse when you finish. You can also walk along the river which takes about 45 minutes/1hour. In the evenings, please be mindful that you will need to park at The Boathouse in Yalding and get a lift to the Paddle Cabin, as our gates may be locked by the time you have finished your meal.
