The Boat Cafe in Weymouth and Portland

Takeaway coffee- flat white - Yuck! Exceptionally hot cup of coffee, the first sip unbearably hot, scolded inside of my mouth despite being cautious and taking a tiny sip first. Had to wait quite a while (with the lid off) to be able to take a second sip without scolding inside of my mouth again. Coffee tasted really bitter, quite an unpleasant, nasty after taste. Had 4 maybe 5 sips and threw the rest away. Bought a cold drink further down the beach instead. Service as fast, staff really pleasant, atmosphere good as it was the Weymouth Beach Race weekend.

The fish and chips were fantastic and the view to Weymouth bay excellent

We stopped for fish & chips and I have to say they were the best I have eaten for a long time.

love.to seat here with a coffee or drink and watch the world go by on the beach and they do lovely bacon roll

Light lunchall good recommendation

Good coffee watching and listening to the sea

Small portion ,a few smokers ,not good with food being eaten

Had a hot chocolate here whilst watching the fireworks. Great views over the bay, and there is also plenty of outdoor seating. Would recommend.

Had a great night last night listening to the live band and having a few pinos with my friend on our child free day out… great service and lovely food! The seagulls are buggers 😂 Would love to know how I’d find out when the next set of live bands are due to play?

Lovely place to sit and have a tea/coffee in the evening. Gets very busy in the daytime but staff are very accommodating and thorough in clearing tables for a swift changeover. Would recommend a visit 👌

We stopped here on our walk across the beach. There are many cafes to choose from, but I am very glad we selected this place. The chocolate sundae was a big hit with us and the pricing was very reasonable. The following evening we returned to listen to the live music they had. Again, we had the sundae! Would recommend

Stopped for a cup of tea. Very nice proper Yorkshire teabags. Friendly staff. Good view of sea

My wife, two sons and I enjoyed a nice dinner. The chips are fantastic and we all enjoyed the burgers and nuggets too. Would highly recommend.

A good place to sit a relaxed and look out over Weymouth bay.

Fun, easy place to have a simple snack and watch the beach.

Fantastic Cafe in every way, food, drinks, price and of course the view 😋

Meet up with some, friends we had not seen in a long time. Great Atmosphere 👍🏾

Nice beach side cafe. Didn't eat there so can't score food. Had a couple of drinks with friends. Staff all students by the looks of it and all friendly.

We was on a day trip and decided to have lunch at the boat cafe we had fish and chips and sausage and chips and it was beautiful cooked just right the waiting time was next to nothing and the staff was so busy but their customer service was second to none absolutely brilliant I would recommend anyone visiting Weymouth must give the boat cafe a try I'm glad we did and I'm sure you will be aswell Maureen Kenny From bicester Oxon

Best place for a sun down drink

An excellent and good quality eatery right on the beach. The food was good, the staff friendly and welcoming and the view across the bay amazing. A great all around experience.

A delightful eatery right on the beach. The food was great, the service excellent and the view out across the bay amazing. The staff were friendly and professional despite it being very busy, making the atmosphere even better 👍

just don't leave your plate me and my partner had fish and chips I had 2 mint scoops and a toffee, and we it's amazeing The vew as well is just beautiful

Been coming here for a few years now it's very lovely 😍

Only had a coffee but very nice, reasonably priced. Sat on the decking over the sand and lost ourselves people watching. Plenty of food being served, empty plates when people left so must have been at least reasonable. Friendly and polite staff.

Wow what a lovely place on the seafront, came to Weymouth today for a day visit and stopped here for breakfast and had the best bacon and sausage bap and at such a reasonable price too that I ended up ordering another one and then came back at lunch and had a mr whippy Ice cream followed by a lovely burger and chips. Definitely recommend this place for food and drinks and staff are really friendly too. Can’t wait to come back again in the summer holidays

The service was very quick and they warn you about the seagulls which are likely to take your food if you're not wary

Good but be aware of seagulls and crows stealing your food when eating outside

Lovely staff very friendly, just had a caramel sundae and a coffee. Had plenty of tables with nice view of the beach, reasonably priced too

Lovely food just watch out for the seagulls

Had fish and chips here, ideal setting with the outside dining area overlooking the sea and beach.

A lovely place to stop for a coffee right on the beach. Good coffee and ice cream with very pleasant staff too.

Absolutely perfect cooked cod , would highly recommend

Great just sitting down with an ice cream 🍦 and watching the world go round.

What a lovely place, came down from London in October last year and coming to Weymouth in May this year. My wife and I are both chefs in London and we were so impressed with the quality of the food and the service which was a busy day, Saturday. Great to see young people being employed and working hard with a lovely attitude. See you soon for fish and chips.

Had a lovely coffee and cake here beside the sweet little Donkeys

Just had a coffee. A nice place to sit and watch the beach and sea.

Best avoided if your looking for fast service

Great food, cooked to order, well looked after. Even provide treats for our dog! Would definitely visit again!

Great staff and friendly and a fast service

Our group ordered cheesy chips and egg Mayonnaise sandwich - was good. Right on seafront. Busy but not a long wait. No toilets. Accessible in some places.

used it for breakfast a few times and was always good service and for basic food , baps etc .handy for tea and coffee during the day

OMG only had a banana ice-cream from there. Pure heaven

Visited Weymouth for the Dorset Seafood Festival weekend just gone; awesome weekend. Decided to stop for a cool beer and wine before heading back to our campsite and came across The Boat Cafe. Now it seems everyone I know was aware that alcoholic slush puppies are a thing; for me it was like someone, for the first time, introducing me to the wheel (was very excitable lol). However this review is not about that splendid beverage discovery. Location is amazing and every member of staff we encountered were fun, friendly and helpful. Thanks to the the full team for what ended up being a great couple of hours.

I was very surprised to see one of the Staff swearing and shouting at a customer Someone called Honey should definitely not be in a job dealing with the public as has no personal skills Very unprofessional especially with a lot of Families around

Beachside cafe serving food and drinks as well as alcohol. We visited in the evening when there was a band playing so the place was heaving. We only stopped for drinks but relatives who live in Weymouth use this place regularly and like it.

Lush staff, nice slush puppies for the adults

This cafe is nice, I didn't get much because I was going to play volleyball with some friends. So I only got some chips, it quite busy but I ordered and was waiting for maybe 10 mins I could see they were talking to each other but I didn't want to be rude so I asked and they gave me my chips they said they were on the side and they didn't realise which isn't to big but I thought it could of been better. Other than that they were nice chips!

Lovely place right on the beach, we visited 3 times over the weekend. Staff are all so friendly. Our little girl had surgery last week on a broken arm and the ladies serving made her feel so special and even decorated her milkshake cup for her. Would 100% recommend and will definitely return 👍

Lovely place to sit and enjoy drinks ect

Great views Great food Great staff.

Only had drinks, but they were fine

Best cafe in Weymouth myself and my wife always visit when we are in town lovely food and coffee and good service.

For a beach front location, for me it's the best cafe in Weymouth. Even on a wet day I will sit outside and watch what the sea is doing. The staff have always got a smile on there faces when they serve you, even when you are the only ones sat out there in the rain 😍

Great spot for lunch! Food was fresh and hot, view great.

I would like to thank the young lady who looked after me on Thursday afternoon,I didn’t get her name.After she served me my fish & chips,she later came to see if my meal was ok.Unfortunately being a bit disabled, I suddenly felt ill .She took my meal which looked delicious & put it in a takeaway box for me to take home.I had a taxi booked for 4.30 but as it was only 3.30 she cancelled that for me and got me an earlier one and came to tell me when it arrived.That is what I call excellent customer service. Regards Mr Barry Swan

What a lovely place to sit and eat. Food was lovely, service was friendly and the view was perfect.

Lovely setting - very attentive staff 🤗🤗

Purchase to lovely ice creams from the Kiosk the choc chip was very nice with nice pieces of chocolate in the ice-cream very enjoyable

Had 2 lovely ice creams from the boat café Kiosk served a good selection of flavours the mint choc chip was excellent with large chunks of chocolate very enjoyable

Lovely coffee. Lovely food. Lovely staff. Lovely views. Recommended 👍

Always have coffee when in Weymouth first class.

The staff are always very friendly here and they do good coffee too. It's conveniently next to the beach ⛱️ so good for families and everyone.

Good views over Weymouth beach and very good coffee served.

Sat outside in the sun. Friendly helpful staff who provided fresh water for our dog. Lovely coffee. Don't queue on the street side as that is for take away. Go round the beach side to find a table and order from the other side.

Wonderful as ever, from the friendly staff, clean cafe to that fantastic vista the boat cafe is the perfect place for your refreshments stop.

Fun, simple food and alcohol means peaceful beach watching.

Great coffee, small wait for food but not too bad. 👍 4/5

Lovely scenery and a great breakfast with friendly service

Great situation, great food, great view, great experience. Thank you

Great view of the sea of course, friendly professional staff, great cups of tea and biscuits!

Visited during the beach Motocross, good value and friendly service

A very pleasant spot for an ice cream or afternoon cup of tea. The weather was being kind today, so ice cream it was - Mr Whippy + flake. I had hoped to attach a photograph of my mother eating said 99, but she declined. Shame. 🏖️🍦🍦🏖️

A very pleasant place to sit. Plenty of tables chairs quite comfortable. Mainly snack menu. Good size portions. Would return.

Good tea coffect ,ect.lovley view of weymouth Bay when your sat their.,staff very pleasant.

The ice cream sundae is our lovely

Had a day in Weymouth and arrived to try and find breakfast. Lots of places seemed closed ( guess it is a bit out of season) or not really serving anything like a breakfast. Then we found The Boat, view across the bay - tick; outdoor seating - tick (thankfully nobody smoking nearby); good breakfast buns - tick; and hot tasty coffee - tick again. Could have easily lingered for longer but we were in Weymouth to explore the town

Great location - literally on the beach - recommended for the great food and drink, ice-creams, take-away and sit 'in'. Good menu choices. Only downside is they are obsessed with only giving paper cups after a certain time - and some drinks just don't suit paper cups - but they would rather lose business than be flexible. Shame...

Lovely friendly staff and delicious food

Burger was over cooked and expensive

My friend for whom I'm carer, as he has learning difficulties, went to one of the windows to ask for salt and pepper. We were eating at one of the tables. For some reason, I think because he is diffident and vulnerable, the girl at the washing up window, Alice, started laughing at him, and to make things even worse, turned to one of the other girls who also started laughing at him. He was absolutely mortified and felt humiliated. Fortunately one of the other employees heard what was going on and came to his rescue, stepping outside and showing him where the salt and pepper were. I've never seen such despicable behaviour towards a disabled person. Their ignorance and cruelty was beyond belief.

Brilliant service brilliant drinks and prices

Cant leave no stars so left 1 Overpriced hot dog which is not a hot dog but a cremated sausage in a dry baguette might as well eat my flip flop SAVE your money n go McDonald's

Excellent experience. Drinks and did fab with excellent service. Went a few times as we were so pleased. Thank you!

Good coffee and other drinks. Great beach views.

Food and staff were nice. But due to seasonal demand we had a 30 minute wait which I will add was advised to me by the staff prior to my order going in. Which I thought was courteous 💪

Outstanding night with live music on the beach, by far the best night if our holiday thank you.

Great value for money and great tasting food, right on the beach

We had lovely ham salad sandwiches on brown bread. Food lovely and fresh and very tasty. It’s right in the beach so be aware of the ‘seagulls’. Lovely cup of coffee.

We have just had lunch at the cafe and would definitely recommend to others. We sat looking out onto the beach, under a shade so that was great as it was supper hot. We had lunch and smoothies, both delicious . Fairly priced. We had a large Baguette, side salad and chips for £9.

Brilliant place. Good food and very nice staff. Will be back. Thank you. 👌

Always enjoy a little time out here great location & good service recommend a visit

Lovely setting. Quite expensive.

Perfect, just loved it ere fantastic setting great food

Good food, friendly, inexpensive

A very pleasant latte, looks like a good choice of drinks.

Great place for a coffee, snack or lunch.

Very friendly staff and good food, nice view... worth it!!!

Good cuppa served, seagulls swoop on the unwary if eating

Great Cafe/Bar on the Beach in Weymouth. 👍
