My first time at The Boathouse and I wasn't disappointed. I had the Sunday Carvery which was delicious and plentiful. A choice of 4 meats or vegetarian option. The staff were polite and attentive. I have already recommended this venue to my friends and family. I will definitely be back.

The Boat house is a great place to have a meal or a special event. We have been twice for Birthday/Anniversary meals and also running club Christmas parties and other events. The atmosphere is always great, staff are always friendly, welcoming and very helpful. Food is always lovely. I would recommend this place.
