Parkdean Boathouse in Purbeck

DO NOT get the steak and ale pie. It’s worse than a supermarket microwaveable one. The chips portion was hardly there and it cost £16. I ended up sharing my daughter’s nuggets and chips. There was no steak. The gravy was basically water. Honestly the worst value for money and pie ever. Don’t order this. And if you can avoid it eat somewhere else. The photo uploaded is what was delivered. No chips eaten. Literally that small of a portion

As a coeliac I find it frustrating when there’s very limited on offer. Had a non gluten breakfast (no hash brown) another restaurant that finds it hard to swap something in ( I’d like someone to explain to me why this causes such an issue in the kitchen?) breakfast was tepid. I like my food hot. Same as the coffee, had to drink it before my food even arrived as it was lukewarm. Staff are lovey though. I know their hands are tied with these things. (Aside from temperature) just to add it was not busy whilst we were there so this was not a factor.

Some good food, but expensive. Half the menu was not available on almost every day of the stay. Had some lovely waitresses but the ones on the kiosk were disgusting and so rude.

Great staff, excellent service. The waiting times are low and if there's an issue with your order they will rectify it promptly. The portion sizes are just right for me but my friends, who are used to larger sizes commented on it. For a family orientated diner I'd say it's about what I'd expect

Really disappointing experience. Came here at the start of our weekend to nice friendly staff. However, today they were blunt, unwelcoming, and generally really ruined the experience as the food was not bad. Not the service I would expect anywhere and definitely will not be risking coming back here again.

The food was nice but the drinks were really bad. Their digital menu was not kept up to date with stock and everything was decanted into plastic cups. Additionally they did not refund us the difference in drinks when they run out of stock and we ordered something else. Dissapointing performance from the bar staff especially as the kitchen crew obviously put a lot of hard work into the presentation of their food.

Unfortunately both our meals were poor. Chips lukewarm and the gammon steak tough as old boots. Poor quality all round. No chefs here!

Absolutely gorgeous burger was served within 15 mins of ordering can't fault the food or service

Far too expensive for what you get £24 for a mixed grill. Lowest is £15 for fish and chips.

Came up for breakfast staff very friendly amazing service ...and the mega breakfast was amazing, definitely the beat breakfast I've ever had !. Definitely recommend

Very expensive for really poor quality food. Grilled chicken was full of gristle, salad was brown and kids mac and cheese coats £8 🤔

So far, I've had the lasagne and traditional breakfast. A personal highlight of mine was the mushrooms, nice and buttery. Prices are a tiny bit steep but that's to be expected at a holiday park. Overall, I'd definitely eat here again!

Went to eat there with family while staying at the caravan resort. The place was clean and decor is ok. The staff there were friendly but very busy. Having family in the hospitality sector, I think they could do with one or two more staff during the peak times. Food was ok. The burger 🍔 I had was nice but nothing special. My brother had a mixed meat thing which was also ok, but the sausages that came with it were burnt and very black. We asked for new sausages to be cooked as they were black but then they came with sausages that looked white not even browned. We gave up with the sausages and gave them to our dog 🐕 instead. The kids had mac and cheese which was very oily. Never seen this much oil in mac and cheese before. That’s one of my little girls favourite dish and she too found it too oily. We visited as a family of 6. It’s an ok place to eat but I personally wouldn’t want to eat there again.

We waited over an hour for food and when it arrived it wasn’t up to standard. One calamari dish arrived 40 minutes before the other dishes. We ordered two portions of calamari, both portions were pink, gutted improperly and seemed undercooked. The pizza barely had any toppings on for the price ( five pieces of pineapple and even less ham for £15) the pizza was dry almost stale feeling. onion rings dish didn’t have enough in the bowl for the price either. Onion rings don’t take over an hour to cook. Also a pint of thatchers gold was £6.05

Decent restaurant on site at the park. Prices are reasonable, what I would expect from a captive audience at a holiday park. All the food was tasty and prepared well. The staff are very attentive and the place is very clean. Reasonably quiet during the day, unsure what it is like in the evenings.

Really nice breakfast and dinner. Staff very friendly and did everything that we asked of them.

Really nice food good quick service

Really nice staff great foods to support all allergies
