Intimate Dining, Celebrations & Occasions
Thoughtfully curated gatherings aboard a beautifully restored Dutch barge.
You'll have exclusive use of the barge, with flexible options with our trusted catering partner, and style the space to reflect your vision.
Our bespoke package is priced
£1,600*
*excluding catering from our preferred partner, drinks and the registrar’s fee, which is paid directly by you.
Outside of wedding season, from October through to April, Leven opens its doors for private hire, offering a one-of-a-kind setting for intimate dinners, celebrations, and special moments shared with those who matter most.
Available on Fridays and Saturdays during October - March, and on select Fridays throughout summer, our candlelit dining space is rich in character and warmth. Set against the peaceful backdrop of the River Medway, the barge becomes a magical retreat for gathering, reflecting, and celebrating in style.
Whether you're marking a milestone birthday, a cherished anniversary, hosting a festive Christmas party, or planning a thoughtful business dinner, Leven offers a truly memorable space that feels both personal and special. The soft lighting, handcrafted details, and slow beauty of the surroundings create a sense of occasion without ever feeling formal.
Perfect for small teams, private groups, or creative off-site gatherings, Leven provides something refreshingly different from a restaurant or hotel dining room, a space where your guests can truly relax and enjoy.
At Leven is Strijd, we believe in celebrations with soul, crafted with care, hosted with warmth, and remembered for all the right reasons.
