Food was okay when it finally came. The situation was not helped when your order is taken by one of the dopiest human beings I have ever encountered. He was really bad at communicating to the extent there was a long wait before he understood what I was saying!

I thought this little cafe would be a cracker when I walked past, on entering 4 staff chatting to each other at the end of the counter who I had to approach to get served, wasn't told you had to get your own cutlery and condiments. Food came out in an acceptable time but the fish and chips had been cooked with old oil and to within an inch of their lives. We both received a child's portion of fish, literally a slither for £15! and what I think was meant to be triple cooked chips that just smelt of stale oil. Save your money and use it at the Lobster Pot a few mins walk away. £33 for 2 fish and chips and 2 diet cokes, absolute joke.

I wouldn’t bother ordering food. We waited over half an hour to be told that they forgot the order by the two people that served me. I asked how long they would have waited to tell me and they just looked at me. Run by idiots. The tea was cold and the coffee was tiny and Luke warm. Don’t waste your time it’s overpriced and rubbish.

Circa June 2024: Family breakfast; as usual the restaurant was busy. The full English breakfast is OK, the "raw ingredients" were of low quantity; I've never seen an egg yolk so pale. The kids breakfast came with a veggie sausage. This should have been mentioned on the menu rather than when served. He's a fussy kid and refused to eat it after spitting out the first mouthful; we would never have ordered it if forewarned. The "kids mother", also a fussy eater nearly had a meltdown because she discovered a hair on the corner of her toast. It was so small and needed magnification to see it clearly; personaly I would have just broken the offending corner off of the toast. Finally, I must compliment the coffee. I was served an excellent cappuccino and they also serve decaf versions, so my wife was happy. ------------ Circa 2022: Busy day and most tables were full. I'm not sure if its a staff shortage or training issue but my table and several others still had dirty plates and leftovers on them from previous diners. We had to call for someone to clear and wipe our table down. Frankly I'm surprised that more urgency isn't placed on this, the adjacent uncleared table was attracting some hungry looking seagulls and they don't shoo away easily when a possible meal is on view. I'm not sure that £4.50 is a reasonable price for a bacon sandwich, even if it does come garnished with a few crisps on the side. For an extra £1.50 I could have had the small breakfast i.e. bacon, sausage, egg, beans and bread.

Stopped off for breakfast as the cafe we were going to had a long queue and thought we would try this. half our order went missing! Every thing on the plate was swimming in oil, and tasted like it had all been deep fried even the mushrooms. A March morning that was colder inside than out. Disappointed, wish we had waited at the other place

I ordered a fish finger sandwich , with salad garnish. The fish fingers were so tiny they hardly filled the sandwich and they had been fried to within an inch of their life. The bread was stale, and smelt musty like it was about to go mouldy. The butter was a tiny scrape in the middle that you could hardly see. No mayonnaise available.The salad garnish was limp, and wasn't fresh at all. My partner had a sandwich too and his was just as awful. We won't be returning , that's for sure !

Went to get ice creams for family.Had to queue inside to put in order despite 3 staff serving in ice cream section . Was not informed by cafe staff that there would be a supply issue until after I paid and went to pick up ice cream from the ice cream counter outside .Asked for pistachio and chocolate - pistachio had run out . Asked for honey comb instead of wafer cone , was informed all were broken and had to have wafer instead . Part of the order included 2 whipped ice creams however these came out runny and I asked for another one as the test is to tip upside down to see how thick the ice cream should be . I was not offered a cloth to clean my hands after getting runny ice cream all over .To cap it all despite the area being dog friendly they do not sell doggy ice cream . Overall disappointing service

Ordered Chicken , bacon & Avocado sandwich on Granary bread . Pot of tea , drinks & crisps .. nearly £18 Some one preferred a mug of tea and didn’t take it , it was left lying on the counter . When I ordered my food & tea they told me to take the mug that was lying , I said no I want a fresh one with my food . I sat down & the girl brought up the mug of tea that was lying on the counter ? I said no I want my hot drink with my good , she took away . The food eventually came nearly 15mins later , they were not busy so long time for food , the mug of tea I refused and sent back twice was given to me , it had been heat up in the microwave & was stewed . The bacon on the sandwich was so hard you could have broke your teeth on it . The Avacado was not fresh & had black bits on it . I should have taken back but I picked them off . The bread was white , the lady on the till said she didn’t order granary for me , then changed her mind and said we don’t have any and walked away . Rude !!! Rubbish service , food was terrible , would have complained but my daughter does not like to make a fuss … It was a joke & feel sick today .. Catherine kerr

My parents are regular visitors to the Boat House over the last 40 years or so. They've seen the generations of the owners & family through the years. They have always found their visits to be very pleasant with helpful service. On our last visit during the recent heatwave we couldn't find a seat outside under any cover so went indoors next to the open doors where there was a little air movement. Moving my mother, nowadays in her wheelchair, was a bit of a challenge but with a bit of muscle my father and I got her over the ledge at the door. We simply had pots of teas and iced coffee - just enough to wet our whistles and take the weight off our feet. Oh, and the restrooms are OK.

Family day trips to Felpham beach (with refreshments at the Boat House Cafe) were a regular part of my teenage years back in the late 1980s. Having not visited for approximately 30 years, yesterday I took a nostalgic trip back. I was pleased to find that The Boat House Cafe remained exactly as I remembered. Behind the counter however, I now noticed a framed photograph of a man who I possibly recognised from 30+ years ago. I commented as such to the assistant, who explained that whilst sadly this gentleman passed away several years ago - his wife - gesturing to the table behind me - is still in the business today! Wow! So my impression is that this is a family business still in the same hands. Great to find such long-term stability in these modern times. Really made my day. Putting aside any nostalgic bias and turning to the current, our teas & coffees were perfect. I chose to accompany the coffee with a delicious apple & cinnamon flapjack. Highly recommended! The cafe offers both outdoor tables and (if you prefer some shade and/ or a more comfortable seat) indoor. A sea view is available from both options. Cleanliness was excellent throughout, with good ventilation. Toilets were spotless.

Still sitting in the boat house and waiting for our food. We are a group of 8, 2 people ate 30mins after ordering, 2 people ate 45 mins after, and once the rest came the orders where wrong.... We've had to send the food back and now waiting again.... The service is terribly slow, the people are kind and nice but it's an establishment that's not prepreard to handle more than one customer at a time. The location of this place is spot on! Right beside the sea, which makes you wonder why they don't have the staff or skills required to handle serving the public in a timely manner. The food itself is nice no complaints once it was right.

I visited this place to buy an Ice cream, and a bottle of water. I had to wait a lifetime to get served, as they seem woefully short of staff. Then when I was finally served the ice cream vending machine broke down. The place is a bit run down, and it's a shame because they are in a prime position on the seafront at Felpham. I won't be going again.

Couldn't get into the Lobster Pot so came here as a last minute rush. My husband had sausage egg & chips. The sausages looked like they had been floating around in the fryer all day & he was the unlucky one to get the dregs. The rest of the food wasn't great either. Really bad. I'd be embarrassed to serve that, never mind asking somebody to pay for it. Same as everyone else's reviews, great location dire restaurant!

We were very disappointed about our visit taking family for lunch. There seemed to be a shortage of staff and those working were young and appeared to be inexperienced, they forgot to bring our drinks and meals were not brought out at the same time. Although there were few customers eating, we had a long wait for food. The quality of the food was poor which included cod from the specials board which was overcooked and dry, costing about £9. The bacon included in another meal was almost inedible due to being overcooked and too hard to eat. It took a long time for whippy ice creams to be made then they ran out and had to mix more which was very runny.

£6.80 for a very basic cheese & ham toasties is very expensive. The bread was the cheapest white bread they could buy. 1 slice of ham and a bit of cheese. At best it should have cost £4. Then £1.20 for a tine glass of lemonade!! They really need to be more fairly priced or use better quality food, for example, perhaps, farmhouse bread and decent ham?? I shall not visit again!

Having eaten many a full English breakfast around the local area - Felpham, Bognor, Littlehampton - this is by far the best. Well cooked bacon, tasty, well cooked non gristly sausage, really tasty fried bread without being greasy, and no less than 2 large hash browns. No idea why people queue at another establishment close by when the view of the sea is the same but the food at the boat house is superior and cheaper!

Although The Boat House looks wheelchair accessible, and it says that it is online, it is not. There is a step to get out of the building and no ramp. I had to stand (good thing I can) while two young people that work there carried my chair over the step. It caused a problem getting in too. Unfortunately with all the difficulty I never got to eat. The staff were perfectly lovely and all of them were teenagers, as far as I could tell. I appreciate it was not their fault.
