This came up on google as having vegan options, but it had one, and although the chef tried, the chickpea curry had no curry powder in it. It was tomatoes,... read more chilli and a sprinkling of chickpeas. £8.50. I was hungry so glad to eat diverging. My sister had chips and an off-menu smashed avocado on toast. The chips were nice. The staff weren’t really engaged, so not a great experience all in all. Shame, as it was rated highly online!

The boathouse was very corona friendly, all the tables were spaced out with hand sanitiser everywhere and the staff all wore face masks. The stuff we’re very welcoming and helpful.

  We hired this venue last week for a Saturday evening joint birthday party. It was fantastic to have the whole place to ourselves. We were blessed with good weather so... read more the outside was a great bonus and a cooling place to relax after much dancing and eating. It will easily take up to 80 guests in comfort.
Julie, the owner, was wonderful at helping us organise the details, with recommendations for DJs, balloon suppliers, taxis etc. We decided on a hot and cold buffet and the food was spot on. Something for everyone and plenty of it. Good selection of drinks and she ordered in some special IPA which was a big hit. A special mention for the staff who were absolutely lovely and very efficient.
Highly recommend as a party venue, very well priced and a unique location.

  This cafe used to be wonderful, friendly, great food and amazing location by the river. First visit in a long time. Milk jug absolutely filthy inside, bubble and squeak....portion for... read more a hamster at exorbitant price in an overstated large bowl. Bubble and squeak is not even expensive surely consisting of potato and usually leftover veg. Worse still an egg plonked on the top, the egg was bigger than bubble and squeak .... all slimy and undercooked. Who wants to risk eating that. One miserly piece of bacon very over cooked and hard and rubber like. Left most and left in a hurry but not before being charged almost ten pounds !!! Not even how was your food or thanks for visiting. Outside seating the once lovely decking is now all faded facade, paint peeling, the tables no longer have umbrellas and very rough and in dire need of a sanding down and repainting, like sitting in the local bus station waiting for the 700. Nearby a marina, unfortunately tractors at work and the stench of petrol fumes overwhelming at times. The staff asked what we wanted without even handing us the menu. What more can you say really. Dire and dirty, definitely wont be back. The owners will doubtless dispute all the above but would just say go and look inside all the milk bottle shaped jugs and you will see what we mean, enough said.

  Visited the Boathouse Restaurant for the first time, but not the last time on Friday night with family. This was chosen by Trip Advisor reviews and also something different. I... read more have never had Tapas in any other place other than Spain. We didn’t know how hat to expert, apart from the reviews, so the expectations where high and they didn’t disappoint. The waitress suggested three selections of tapas each. This was about right. All very delicious and served hot. My favourite was the squid and whitebait. The manger and all the staff where all very friendly and attentive. I would recommend this restaurant for being different and food delicious. We will be back definitely on a summers evening to sit outside and watch the sunset over the river. Thank you for a very enjoyable evening.

  We love visiting Julie and the team, always a warm friendly welcome, great tasty food and an amazing view. We have also been to a few of the event nights... read more and had a fantastic night..... would highly recommend.
