Been past it a few times just lately (late 2023) and it appears to be closed permanently.

Northampton's first and only floating restaurant! 'Commissioned' for build by Jack Patel in 2006, the boat was completed and moored at its current location in 2014. The boat covers 2 decks, has a licenced bar, vegan cafe, customer toilets on board and can be hired for events, wedding receptions, etc. and has become a bit of a Northampton landmark. https://www.thearknorthampton.com/

Be Cautious when riding as there appears to be hawthorn at the side of the path and a fair few brambles which are poorly maintained.

Can be surprisingly tough & hard-going for what is effectively a grassy field! There is an adjacent tarmac cyclepath to the north accessible over the bridges if you're not in the mood.
