Had fantastic Father’s Day meal with my family would highly recommend. It’s a little gem 5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I took my Mum here for lunch yesterday and it was lovely. The staff were really friendly and efficient, we were served by Kat and Natalie. Our meal was beautiful, I can recomend the lamb 2 ways. The bar staff were lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We will be back soon. �
We had a fantastic afternoon today. The meal and service was excellent. Would definitely recommend anyone to go ther .
Amazing and beautiful place.
Food is amazing and not bad priced eather to say it's all homemade and fresh.
I will definitely recommend and go back
Had a lovely family meal here and great service from Adrian thank you! He was very accommodating as we had children with us and the food was amazing!
Had an amazing lunch today, and it was absolutely incredible. The sticky chicken is one you can’t miss with a starter side of halloumi fries, with the perfect fish and chips and mushy peas.
Jades service was amazing and compliments to the chefs for producing such quality food. Can’t wait for lunch tomorrow 🦉😉
Wonderful location next to a canal , with seating in the courtyard, as well as inside the Inn.
Dog friendly seating inside is available , but would recommend booking in advance for Sunday lunch ( as it’s gets very busy ).
Toilets are upstairs ( did not see any disabled toilets downstairs, but this does not mean they are not available ).
Bar staff are very friendly and helpful ( Great asset to any business ). Thank you to Jade ( our server ), and her super colleagues behind the bar .
Ordered a Sunday lunch ( Sunday Trio & Sirloin of beef ) . Booking on Sunday is advantageous as inside the Inn was full , fortunately we had a parasol as it decided to rain during our lunch .
Food was presented well and looked good value for money .
Only point I must raise is :
Roast New Potatoes ( Hard and dry )
Beef ( was a tad dry and hard )
They were the only points I could raise .
Overall , beautiful location , idyllic in the summer or a cosy winter dining location.
Great to be back to the pub we love...........but I've got to say its not at the standard before the floods.....our food order was taken by our waitress and was told there would be a 40 min wait ( pre booked table) after 20 mins another waitress approached us to say our order had not gone through to the kitchen so we had to re order.....the food eventually came and was very good, but on leaving the restaurant we heard the same excuses being given to customers that their orders had not reached the kitchen.......maybe glitches since reopening but just be honest with your customers rather than make lame excuses......it really wasn't a problem but its how you handled the situation that was at concern.
A real gem! 5/5 all round 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
We have have been lucky to be served by Tracy, twice now, and she is a real star. Genuinely friendly, welcoming and passionate about ensuring we enjoy our time at The Boat Inn. Thank you Tracy! 🧡
Beautiful meal. Excellent service by Adrian. I had the brisket sandwich and it melted in the mouth and the gravy was what I call proper beef gravy. Husband had pork and said it was so succulent and my little boy gave rave reviews and said it was the best meal he's ever had. Small issue rectified straight away and needs catered for. Faultless. Can't wait to return. The staff work so hard and it's appreciated. Adrian chatted with my son who is autistic and made him feel like a VIP. He loves the attention! My only minor criticism was when booking we'd requested to be as far away from dogs as possible as my son is petrified. The lady seating us sat us in the section next to the bar. We didn't have any issue initially but later a large group came and sat at a table only a few metres from us and their dogs barked. I don't mind this.. its a dog friendly venue but it upset my son who then covered his head and ears and we had to work hard to keep him calm and regulated. Would have preferred being able to sit way over the other end of the pub away from it but appreciate when places are busy this isn't always possible. It's a lovely setting and compliments to the chef for a lovely meal. 👍Thanks Adrian for your service.
The food was okay but could have been better, service was fairly good, it was quite busy so understandable that staff were under pressure.
1 out of the 2 starters were incorrect, and burnt so was sent back.
Mains were warm but not piping hot. Would have scored higher if the mains were piping hot and if correct starters were brought out instead of sending back and having to wait.
Probably would return but not in a hurry.
Great pub to stop off after a nice relaxing walk. Large outside area with plenty of seating and doggo friendly. Nice location in summer! We had a portion of calamari which was enjoyable.
Good choice of dishes on the menu. I had kebab and my husband had a signature burger. Both very tasty and very filling. Service was good and Adrian was friendly and helpful. We hadn't been to The Boat Inn for a while but would certainly recommend and will be back soon.
We visited on Easter Sunday and although very busy the staff were very accommodating, and the manager Adrian was kind enough to let me sit with my family even though I hadn’t booked (it was a last minute decision to join them).
Excellent service, delicious food, and a lovely pub in beautiful surroundings next to the river.
Really lovely relaxing lunch with my two dogs and very well looked after by Adrian. Great menu choices and wine list. Perfect for a long dog walk along the river. Will definitely be back.
Had a Sunday dinner x 4, and the food was absolutely "out of this world"! Probably the best we've ever had, anywhere! Not the cheapest, but simply stunning, looking forward to next time already 👌👍(We were served by Adrian)
A pleasant meal, we had the two course special, soup and steak fries, also mushrooms starter and gammon with eggs n chips, the mushroom was very tasty. The staff did a great job, also bring a cardy its cool inside.
Highly recommend this delightful, friendly pub just off the A1 who offer free motorhome parking, delicious vegan food, very dog friendly and well run by a great welcoming team by a beautiful canal with lovely dog walks in the nearby nature reserve. Very friendly locals, very heart warming thank you
