Narrowboat Chef
United Kingdom
Приєднався 17 січ 2018
We are Maggie and Ryan, two Aussies who moved to the UK in 2014. We began our cruising and cooking adventures in 2018 in our quest to travel and experience more of the country that we'd moved half-way across the world to see. Not long after we started our boating adventures, Pixel the fox terrier joined us - and she's been the star of the show ever since!
This UA-cam channel was a bit of an experiment, but mostly an easy way to show our family back in Australia what we were up to. The "chef" part of the channel was our attempt at not being "just another narrowboat channel." As Australian-trained chefs, we decided to share our recipes and knowledge with people who follow our adventures.
As of May 2024, we've decided to sell our beautiful boat, Andrea Rose, and move on to the next chapter of our lives. We've thoroughly enjoyed the journey and all the wonderful people we got to know along the way. Thank you! 💙

The End of Narrowboat Chef – We're Selling Our Narrowboat 🥲
It's time to close this chapter. We're ready to move on after 6 years of living aboard our wonderful narrowboat Andrea Rose. We've had an amazing adventure and will remember it for the rest of our lives - especially all the amazing people who watched, commented, supported and loved our videos. Thank you! 🥰❤️

Tight Squeeze In Unique Diamond-Shaped Lock On The River Avon | Quest Vlog #134
Переглядів 4,2 тис.Рік тому
After spending almost a month at the bottom of Tardebigge, we move on down to the River Avon and begin our journey along the river. It's a much different experience than the canals we're used to. One of the locks was a bit of a squeeze to get both narrowboats in due to its distinct and unique diamond shape.

Leaving Great Haywood behind, we head to Rugeley, then through Fradley Junction and onto canal waters we haven't yet cruised.

Despite only needing to move the boat less than two miles, Maggie fell into the canal while operating the only stop lock along the way!

So sad. Have really enjoyed your b;ogs. And also been the end of Chugging Along and Vruising The Cut also sold up. But all the best for your future.
The old working boats sen at the end of that video are "Forget me Not" and "Hazel", built in 1927 and 1913 respectively. They belong to the Wooden Canal Boat Society, a charity dedicated to saving some of the old wooden boats of the canals and putting them to work for the community. "Hazel" now works as a wellbeing boat and "Forget me Not" tows her. It looks like they were just returning from a trip, probably having dropped off their guests on the aqueduct. They then had to maneuver over to their mooring at the museum. You were tied opposite to our oldest boat, "Lilith", built in 1901. Her forecabin is just visible in your video. She would have probably been moved back to the museum later on. For many years she worked on a recycling project, but this finished in 2020 with the pandemic. She's now awaiting repairs before starting a new project.
Thank you, guys.
😟
What blackening paint did you use please?
We used two pack epoxy, but I can't remember the brand, sorry.
We love that cookbook and enjoy your new journey x
Thank you! So good to hear that you love the cookbook! 🥰
Thank you so very much for sharing part of your life with us!!! It has been a joy. I've missed your smiling faces. You are just two amazing humans...and a cute dog as well. No, really just wonderful every episode. Updates will be much appreciated but I also completely understand if they don't happen. I wish you all the best of everything :)
Thank you so much! Pleased to hear you've enjoyed the videos! 🥰
I saw you at Crick Maggi but didn’t see Ryan so wasn’t sure it was you. Sorry you’re no longer doing boating videos but all the best for the future.
We did get separated a few times! Thank you 😊
Don't die Ryan 😂 all the best to the 3 of you on your new ventures and stop booping npc's Ryan, take care, Toyah
Hahaha 😂 Thanks!
wow gonna miss you guys. at least i had the chance seeing your life its been very nice and you have touched my life. thank you and all the best for the future bye from gary.👍
Aww, thanks Gary 🥰❤️
Ula and Josh Cruising alba Now you guys. Sad times. X
Good luck all 8-)
Thanks! :-)
Your channel was the first one we subscribed to. We didn't miss one and the chemistry was spot on - it worked for us. Your Winter Warmers Cookbook sits alongside Mary Berry & Jamie Oliver. It gets used as do the downloaded recipes. It also provided a memorable from quote from Ryan " ..the best thing I ever did was to marry Maggie!.." A pleasure to watch and enjoy - a channel that will be missed by quite a few people. Good luck in travels and many thanks.
Aww, thank you for the lovely comment. So happy to know that we've given you so much enjoyment over the years - and that you're still using our recipes! Thanks for being part of our adventure! 🥰
Good Luck and Best Wishes to the three of you, Cheers and Thanks 8-)
Thank you! Cheers 😊
🥹 hey pixel, have fun wherever you wind up in life. Have fun all three of you😘
Thank you! And thanks for all the lovely comments over the years! ❤️
Going to miss you great couple and Pixel. Good luck and best wishes for the future in whatever you choose to do i am sure you will do well. An update or two from time to time will be welcomed Stay safe and well. Ed 40 S of Vegas
Thank you! 😊
Just found the channel, feestje the same as nuggin whit noggin. Good Lucky further on good folks. ❤
Thank you ❤️
And with Narrowboat Chef ending, the Golden Age of Narrowboat vlogging comes to an end. Will the last Narrow Boat tuber turn of the lights and lock the door?
😢
So sad, all my Narrowboaters, have quit sailing the canals. If you reunited all the active Narrowboat You Tubers in one pub, like years before, no one would be there, they'd all be absent. Great Journeys and Wonderful Adventures await you.
Thanks for following us for so long and for all your comments on our videos! ❤️
Bless you. With every best wish for the next chapter for you all. Sadly I’m not at crick on Sunday but have a magical time. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. ❤
Thank you! 😊❤️
We are so going to miss you. We loved meeting you at Lemonroyd that time, it was one of the highlights of our year and having Pixel on our boat was just amazing xx
Same here! We had such a great time with you guys that day! So glad we just happened to both be mooring up at the same spot ❤️
So good to know you two and meet a few years ago. We both wish you all the very best for your future. We will miss you both and little Pixel ❤🧸🧸
Hey Bears! You were our saviours that day! Thank you for everything 😊🥰
Sorry to see you "leave the cut" but it is your life and your choice to move on to a new chapter. Several of the narrowboaters I follow or followed have left the cut (the Foxes, David, Ian of narrow boat tales...) but that is the way of things and actually inevitable. There are those who will still wish to follow your next chapter in life and some may feel you owe it to them. You do not.
Aww, thanks so much for saying that. It's very much appreciated. Thanks for being a part of our adventure from pretty much the beginning! 🥰❤️
Very best wishes good luck I've missed you but wish you all the best from an old disabled pensioner who loved your podcast your right we love pixel she is wonderful have fun from Roger
Thanks Roger! Glad you've enjoyed the videos! ❤️
Good luck with whatever you decide to do in the future. You will truly both be missed 💕💕. Your whit, your humour and your lovely personalities were like a breath of fresh air. Take care, stay well, stay safe and stay happy. Hugs for Pixel. 💕❤️💕❤️💕
Thank you! I'm glad we had such a lovely person like you following our adventures! ❤️🥰
Thankyou Maggie & Ryan (and Pixel)for sharing your adventures with us, where did those six years go? Good luck with the next phase of your life together whatever adventures come your way. Best Wishes to you all. 👍.
Thank you! As they say, time flies when you're having fun - it certainly doesn't feel like it's been 6 years! 🥰
You will be sorely missed! X
Aww, thank you ❤️

What can one say other than to wish the 3 of you good fortune and good luck with the next chapter.
Aww, thank you. It's greatly appreciated! 🥰
Good luck for the future, We will miss you.
Thank you 😊
We will miss the sweetest people (and dog) to ever have a narrowboat vlog, but I will quote the Byrds’ song from 1965, and say “To everything there is a season.” I hope you will update us from time to time, as we love you so, and are sure to wonder how you’re doing. Wishing you a bright, happy future with many new adventures! (Yes, I do know that quote originated with Ecclesiastes)
Aww, thank you! Yes, everything has its time. Glad you enjoyed the videos and adventures with us! ❤️
We did meet once years ago on the middlewich canal but good Luck with the ventures
Thanks! ❤️
Miss you three. Good luck with your futures x
Thank you 😊

Good luck with the next chapter Ryan, Maggie & Pixel ❤

Just SAD.................. Now what are we going to watch from sunny Victoria Au....?
I know... 😢 Thanks for following for so long!
Seen and loved all your videos and followed you from the start. You’re a lovely fun couple and you’ll be missed. It was a real pleasure to meet you both at the marina recently. I wish you all the best in all that you do. Take care John x
Hey John! Thanks for following us from the beginning. Glad we were able to say "hi" in person 😊❤️
Did you just lock the two of them in there!!
🤣 Package deal... buy the boat and get a dog and chef with it!! 😂
First and probably lat comment here from me. Watched from vid 1 and really enjoyed following your adventures via all your videos . You will be in the unusual position of actually selling for more than you bought at the crazy moment . Take care, and thank you :)
Thanks for being one of the first to join our adventure! And for sticking with us all the way to the end. ❤️ (Yeah, boat sales are crazy these past few years!)
