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.
With combined capacity of up to eighty people, The Milk Float's 'Cabin Space' and 'Roof Terrace' can be exclusively reserved for a £500p/h minimum spend.
Our ' Cabin Space' has two private six-person booths and four smaller 2-3-person window tables. With comfortable seating and soft lighting, this is a lovely, cosy area where groups can take shelter from the elements and enjoy some Milk Float hospitality.
Our famous 'Roof Terrace' has two larger 6-8-person booths and five 4-5 person box tables. With parasols spread out across the terrace, it's an ideal summer hangout for those wanting to enjoy one of our legendary 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!

January 2025Had a great time here for my boyfriend's birthday. We were a big group however staff were very polite and accommodating! Fun place to have a drink:) make sure you dress warm in the colder months as it can get quite cold on the boat. There were also cheaper options for drinks which is great! Food looked nice too. Overall a great experience!

March 2025Milk Float is a nice spot when the weather is on your side. It’s set on a little boat in Hackney Wick with a cute terrace, which makes the experience feel a bit special. We had some smash cheeseburgers and chips—not the best in the world, but still tasty. The vibe is super chill, with a nice view of the canal and a relaxed atmosphere. Perfect for a casual bite or a drink in the sun if you are lucky with the weather. If you’re in the area and looking for something a bit different, it’s worth checking out!
