The Boat House in Pembrokeshire

Had a voucher paid by our daughter for my wife and myself. On entering the restaurant they refused to tell us the amount the voucher was for. If you spend less than the voucher they are more than happy as no refund available. Spend more , again they are very happy. With that policy they are on a win win, most unethical. We live in the village and we certainly won’t darken their doors again.

I recently dined at The Boat House with my family, and we had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely fantastic, with fresh flavors and perfectly cooked dishes. The live music added a wonderful touch, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. It was the perfect place for a family outing, and we’ll definitely be back!

Food was terrible. We left most of it - three plates. Suspect it’s the use of cheap chicken. all three dishes had a fishy taste. Very unpleasant. We all felt queasy tbh. £61 for three plates and three soft drinks. Hardly cheap. We were sitting with the three plates (pushed to the side) but nobody came to take them nor ask if food ok. This is probably because as we were sitting outside - we had already paid. They possibly don’t care. Gave a 2 as guy serving was sweet.

Lively restaurant and bar with good live music. Stopped in because we heard the band playing on Friday night, ended up staying until closing. Good music and a decent crowd too. The food was great, and made even better by a well poured Guinness.

Nice place to have a drink and listen to live music but feel the need to write a review on my last visit here with friends. Ordered 3 of the same cocktail each one that was served was in a different glass. I asked if the measurements were the same to which I was told yes. I did say again how it could be the same as the glasses were shaped so differently. The female behind the bar turned away from me and said “there are worse things going on in the world “. I asked her what she said and she repeated what she said. I told her she shouldn’t say that to a customer who wasn’t even complaining as I was just commenting. This female was supposedly the manager also. There was no apology and she was extremely rude. There was no need for her to say that statement to me. As I told her she has no idea what is going on in my life and to say that to me was out of order. There was no response from her just arguing back telling me I was going on about the different glasses

Incredible choice of menu for dairy free. I had a pulled pork chicken and my friend had a mega beef burger. Both were delicious and filling. Highly recommended.

We've visited this restaurant quite a few times before, especially for their normally delicious Sunday lunch. Sadly, today, the standard slipped , our 4 Sunday lunches arrived luke warm with only one veg serving dish (on previous occasions, the same size veg serving dish was between 2. ) worse of all though was the 3 beef lunches , the beef was as tough as old boots , we had to ask for steak knives to cut it, let alone chew it ! We immediately mentioned the beef toughness and was told that the kitchen would be informed , we raised the small veg portion too and were told they would go and get some more , but that did not arrive . When a lovely waitress came to clear the table (a different one , we relayed our complaints to her and she said that we should have asked for more veg , we told her we did ,and it didn't arrive . Very disappointing lunch today , especially as we had taken guests after praising and bigging how good the Sunday lunch normally is .

Had an absolutely delicious meal here with the family. We booked on the same day after seeing a post on Facebook of an enticing-looking burger. Exceeded our expectations. Great meals for us adults and the children. Service was prompt and polite. Will be visiting again!

We popped in here a couple of times. Lovely friendly staff - especially the bar staff which explained lots about the local rum available (which is delicious by the way - Barti) I had a small nachos as wanted something to fill a gap. It was lovely and got and delicious. Would recommend but if you want a main meal I would suggest booking first.

Very friendly service, great with our 5 year old granddaughter. Food very enjoyable,a lovely holiday evening out.

Adding this one to my list of go-to restaurants/pubs in Pem. From the outset the staff were absolutely lovely. I didn't travel a booking and it's a Saturday in peak season yet she behaved like it was no problem at all and even let me choose where to sit. Often if you're eating alone you get shoved in a corner somewhere but not here. The food was sensational. The only down side was that the chips were quite oily. But they were actually the best chios I've had for ages, otherwise!

Outstanding! Service was polite and professional from all of the staff that looked after us. Food was superb standard - fresh, very well presented and most importantly delicious.

Lovely food, highly recommended. The staff are also fantastic. Tough crowd (14 and 12) wolfed it down.

Amazing restaurant! Gorgeous food and completely Coeliac safe! We eat here several times every holiday and never have any problems with gluten free. They are so helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The food is so yummy, it's a joy to visit and have a truly relaxing meal - for someone with Coeliac disease, its not always relaxing due to worrying about needing 100% gluten free! Can't wait to come again next holiday!

Easy to book online and git text reminders to confirm. Great steaks with friendly and efficient service, despite being very busy.

Fantastic meal at The Boat House Had such a fantastic experience and meal at the Boat House. The staff went above and beyond for us as a family with 3 young children who are 5, 3 and 1, nothing was too much trouble. The food was phenomenal, I had a sirloin steak which was cooked perfectly (i am very fussy!) And the specials desert, which was a martini cheesecake, everything was absolutely delicious. I also had a white magnum martini which was out of this world. There were 6 of us dining and no one had a crumb left on their plate! My children wolfed down their food and the staff ensured their meals came out quickly. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very relaxed and friendly. We really had the best experience at this restaurant and would not hesitate to return! Thank you.

Really good food. All meals were extremely tasty! Good service, polite and friendly staff and a clean establishment. Definitely recommended

Amazing food and beautiful cocktails, with even better entertainment. The staff are so welcoming and lovely. Would 100% recommend to anybody looking for a place for the day or evening.

Excellent lunch here whilst visiting Saundersfoot for the day, had the prawn linguine which was amazing, huge king prawns on top. Beer was brilliant and the cocktails were top notch. Would recommend a visit to anyone.

We had a great meal at the boathouse last week. Service was great and the drinks and food came quickly. The restaurant had a great atmosphere. Big shout out to our waitress Caitlin who went above and beyond for us all.

The setting, the atmosphere, the attentive staff are all amazing but the food is next level. Excellent value for money considering the prime location. Would highly recommend .

Our table was booked for 12.30pm and it was gone 1pm before somebody had come to take our order, even after I'd gone up to the bar to ask somebody to serve us. We then waited nearly 35 minutes for our food to come. Most...

We came here by chance,looking for somewhere to eat, we rocked up quite late and not long before they stopped serving food. But none the less, they seated us and took our order. Such great service from start to finish. I asked for the recommendation...

We were out side as we had dogs and I ordered the spice dirty frys and I like spice food but when it came it was so spice I could not eat it to the point it made me feel sick and we then told...

Pub food style menu, but a notch up. A good mix of your 'staples' and some more modern ideas, plus the specials board. We ate here twice whilst on holiday last week, and the food and service were excellent on both occasions. Well worth the...

We had a lovely dinner at The Boat House last evening. Chef Grace made a bespoke starter and meal to suit my dietary needs. It was superb. All the staff demonstrated that they have a real grasp of hospitality in the true Mediterranean style. We...

Had a fantastic lunch at The Boathouse. I had the beef burger with an espresso martini which was delicious and my wife had the chicken burger with a pornstar martini. Both meals were amazing and the kids loved their food also. Very Family friendly with...

Lovely food lots of flavour. Staff were excellent. Fresh homemade food with excellent presentation. Lovely cocktails too. Definately worth a visit.

Great cocktails and very friendly staff. Went for an evening meal with my wife and a couple of good friends and were quickly served cocktails which were nice. We were later shown to our table and orders taken. The food was a massive let down....

Myself and family members Arrived in the evening for a meal and drinks, upon arrival we were told we weren’t aloud to order food for an hour and would have to wait, no reason was given. We went outside and sat in the courtyard as...

Ist vist to the boat house certainly won't be the last great menu very friendly staff and of course the food was exceptional

We luckily got a table last minute in the boathouse. Food was delicious as always and cocktails made by a lovely, friendly and attentive blonde male. Staff were all brilliant and couldn't do more. Hidden gem! Definitely worth a visit if you are in saundersfoot.

Visited multiple times and every time has been great! Lovely staff, great food and an awesome atmosphere.

Nice place, deceptive from the outside as it goes much further back than you realise. Lovely food. I had the pirate burger, oh my god, it was huge, for someone who normally has it as plain as possible, this burger was topped with bacon, pulled...

Second year coming and terrible service again. Gave the benefit of the doubt due to Covid but a serious lack of staff numbers and effective dealing of orders means we will definitely never book here again. I feel very sorry for the staff who are...

Would defiantly not recommend this place, firstly it is advised on there website they do Sunday lunch only to be advised when we arrived this stopped 2 weeks go, we sat for an hour after ordering our food no communication off the staff, we asked...

Went to Saundersfoot and had a walk around the beach and then went for a family meal and had a roast dinner in the boathouse. We had 3 courses and was great value - the mushroom starter was amazing. I then had the roast beef...

The Boathouse is a modern & stylish restaurant, we dined there over the weekend and we're very impressed, the staff are curtious and attentive and the food was top draw for our tastes. A lovely place to eat

Visited the Boathouse for a family Sunday lunch and was really impressed. Speedy service, hot tasty food and a really nice atmosphere. Can’t fault it, we’ll come again. Thanks!

I went to the boat house with my wife for some cocktails and the live music over the weekend, cocktails were amazing and the bar had a really good Vibe!

Our family group, including a nine year old and a seven year old, had lunch here or, at least, some of us did. The food was almost certainly frozen and was okay but not memorable, However, the main issue was about the service which was...

Excellent service. Vegan options, even at Sunday lunchtime. Booking essential but can be done on their website. Good range of drinks but none are marked vegan

We spent the weekend at Celtic Haven and wanted a nice Sunday lunch, The boathouse didn’t disappoint, it was delicious and would highly recommend, we both had the roast beef, you won’t leave there hungry, plenty of food, it really was delicious 💖

Just had a fantastic Sunday lunch here. Yorkshires to die for and the beef amazing . Lashings of gravy and plenty of veg with cheezy leeks included too. Highly recommended. We will certainly be back( we've already booked)

3rd time visiting as friends seem to choose this venue to eat, 1st time disappointed at the price and frozen chips , 2nd time couldn’t fault the Xmas dinner 3rd visit last week and back to disappointment menu is very limited unless you want a...

As always stunning food. Food cooked and served to a really high standard. Everyone working there was friendly and professional. Nothing was too much trouble.

Very hearty & delicious meal. Service was fab & there was a lovely atmosphere there. Both the mains & starters we had were out of this world. 10/10 can’t wait for our next visit

Myself and my husband was looking forward in attending a lunchtime meal without the children. I can say the food was lovely but today you really needed to sort out heating the place. It was cold in the place that we had to eat with...

Had Sunday lunch last week, just myself and my husband. As the previous reviewer mentioned, it was extremely cold in the restaurant. I asked to be moved, which we were, but not any improvement. People alongside us also complaining of the cold. I realise heating...

We enjoyed a delicious traditional Sunday lunch here. Served hot ( a must for me), lashings of gravy and good and varied vegetables. One of the best lunches we have ever had. I was a bit worried as to the service as I had read...

Absolutely brilliant food and service is first class, you will not leave hungry or disappointed. Been so many times and honestly can say there is never one complaint from anyone in our group. Staff are so friendly and accommodating backed up with delicious food.

Beautiful food and great service. Would recommend to anyone looking for great quality food at a good price. I will be back

The pub is conveniently located across from the harbour car park. We stopped in for food as the chippy was closed. Fish and chips were very good huge piece of fish with very light batter. Nice tasting fish. The selection of beers wasn’t great. The...

Spent a lovely afternoon with friends at the Boathouse greeted by a friendly welcome and thoroughly enjoyed a spectacular Sunday Christmas lunch.

5 star food, five star service!. Excellent with children and spotlessly clean. We will be returning!

Stopped for a quiet lunch with hubby who is gluten free. Menu's for him in most places are usually over complicated or very basic. This lunchtime menu sported a small but perfect selection of pub/restaurant options, pasta, meat or fish based which were available GF...

We went to The Boat House for evening meal on a particularly cold and rainy Wednesday evening. Upon arrival we were greeted and seated within minutes. The restaurant is bright and beautifully decorated in pale blue tones. Tables are well spaced and there are cute...

The service was awful, we prebooked and it was an hour and a half before we had our very average pub food. Extremely disappointed and we will certainly never return after this fiasco, in fact we were relieved to go! There was also a group...

We booked this restaurant on the last night of our holiday before returning home the following day. The food was fabulous both in quality and portion size (we found the portion size a bit too big for us). But there was no doubt about the...

Friendly and welcoming staff. The lunch was excellent in terms of quality and flavours. It was presented very well and the portion size was more than adequate. The decor and interior design is contemporary and there is plenty of space so that you feel comfortable...

Order any burger - they all looked amazing! They have a great wide ranging menu for those who prefer other things. We went out for food to the boathouse to celebrate my fathers birthday with extended family. They were very accommodating in fitting such a...

Came back to Saundersfoot for our half term break. We were made to feel so welcome, it’s still my favourite place in Pembs to eat. We had fish and chips and burgers and the portions were great. Top notch food!! Just love the atmosphere here....

We booked a table at The Boat House roughly 2 weeks before our visit. Upon arrival we unfortunately got into a debate with the front of house lady. The table we were given wasn't in the restaurant area we booked and instead was in the...

I was in town this weekend visiting some friends and we decided to try out the Sunday beef roast at The Boathouse, what a treat! Amazing food and great atmosphere - the perfect spot to have a nice Sunday meal with friends or family. Couldn’t...

Unfortunately a terrible experience! Staff had no clue how to deal with customers - too young or inexperienced or untrained. We sat at the bar for a drink. The young barman, whilst holding out the card machine for my husband to swipe for my drink,...

We visited here three times in August, both for food and drinks. Good food and drink, live music, and friendly staff behind the bar. The system they had in place to ease pressure on the kitchen in the busy season was somewhat unwelcoming towards customers,...

My husband and I both had pasta dishes which were beautifully cooked and delicious, service excellent. Would definitely recommend.

last night i visited the Boathouse once again. As always the service was right on time.. we were seated and had our drinks order within 10 mins (cant fault it). I had the lasagna and my friend had the burger. Both meals were delicious and...

Arrived “We haven’t booked, would you have a table for food available please” Hostess - Literally didn’t say a word, looked down at computer for 40 seconds not looking up or speaking once. Eventually looks up and says “you can sit outside if you want”...

First the positives, they found us a table at short notice in the garden, there was live music and the food was really good! Unfortunately this did not make up for the other issues we had. The garden seat was located at the furthest point...

The food was amazing if i could rate it more than 5 i would, staff brilliant very polite. Definitely coming back.

Family meal with my mum and sister, my mum and I ordered the gammon, and my sister carbonara. Staff couldn't be more attentive and helpful, despite it being packed , and food was excellent

We visited on a Friday evening over a bank holiday weekend - the restaurant and bar were very busy and had a great atmosphere! The live music was fantastic and definitely topped off our evening. Staff were friendly and the trio of fish special was...

They were fully booked but accommodated my family of 7, the staff were very friendly and attentive. Despite it being extremely busy the wait on the food wasn't long at all! The pembroke pirate burger and homemade onion rings were an absolute delight! Great quality...

Popped in for lunch, wow. Fantastic panini, with salad, coleslaw and tortilla chips, so much food for £7.50! Staff very friendly and efficient. Lovely decor and ambiance. Will definitely be going back and spreading the word!!

We had a fantastic evening. Awesome Live Band, delicious Food and staff were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be booking again soon.

So. An expensive family meal ruined by poor management. We were made to feel like cattle and it thoroughly spoiled a family get together. We have eaten here many times and live in the area. Visiting family were taken here as a treat. But service...

We didn’t intend to eat at this place- got the wrong restaurant!! 🙄 definitely more eatery than pub/ cosy vibe. However they fit us in at a table in the beer garden despite us not booking. The service was great and the food was lush....

Visited as a family whilst on holiday. Huge menu choice. Food was lovely. Would have been nice to see some “healthy” options in there though. Would definitely return.

Had a great night out at The Boat House. Brilliant meal with sizeable portions, and the prices were good with most mains under £20. Good selection of drinks at the bar too. Even enjoyed some live music which was an added bonus. Will be back.

My husband and I had a lovely evening meal here, great food and nice atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back!

Arrived at the restaurant and was greeted by a very welcoming member of staff who showed us to our table. Food was served efficiently and was very tasty, have visited the Boathouse in the past and have never had a bad table. Staff were friendly...

Love coming here! The food is always so tasty and the portions are a good size. Caters for veggie, vegan and gluten free, plus it’s right by the beach too so it’s in a great spot for parking nearby.

Absolutely awful visit ! An hour and 20 minutes wait for food ! Only apology a free drink , absolutely shocking will never eat there again and they say a free desert for children didn’t even get offered the free desert after our daughter was...

We arrived at 8pm and were shown to our table by Holly . The service throughout was excellent and the food was even better. Myself and my fiancé both had burgers and the cheesecake of the moment for dessert. We can’t wait until we return...

Great for couples, friends or families. Superb food, lovely staff. Hard to fault but get there early or book well ahead!

Went here tonight for the first time, certainly won't be our last. We live 150 miles away but will call in at least once when we're down for a week or more, probably three or four times over a fortnight. We had the chicken wings...

Really amazing service and food. Staff were super friendly and attentive. We were waiting a while for our drinks order but it was so packed and busy, we understood and were happy to wait. But after they noticed we were waiting and rhey took our...

The food itself was amazing, fantastic starters and mains. however they had taken too many bookings for the kitchen staff, we waited 20mins to order then An hour for our starter, no one told us there was a wait, or apologised when the food did...

Great place, comfy and spacious + nice ambience. One page menu but could have had anything on it. Great place for a light lunch but the whole establishment is set up well to stay open through the evening. 7.50 for kids menu choices but should...

Pre-booked for the evening meal. Despite it being a very busy Friday night service was prompt and the staff were very friendly and professional. The food was delicious, and a good selection of desserts.

We stopped here for an early evening meal. The interior is very clean, light and airy, the staff were friendly and welcoming. There was a vibe about it and it filled up quickly. Nevertheless the staff were attentive and the food arrived quickly. We had...

Lovely decor, delicious food and excellent service with a smile. After struggling to get in anywhere for our evening meal, The Boathouse accepted us as a walk in 5 mins before they were taking the last food orders. We were extremely grateful and the staff...

This was my first time visiting and my goodness it did not disappoint!! From the moment we walked in the customer service was incredible. It was a busy evening service but we were treated like we were the only people there. All of the staff...

Can’t fault it! Food, drink and service was top draw and such a family friendly atmosphere, couldn’t do enough for us. Highly recommend!!

We were in Saundersfoot for a whole week, only managed to get a table here once for lunch and then could only be placed outside. It was very hot sitting under see through plasic roof outside, the inside of the restaurant looked very nice indeed...

We visited the Boathouse on a number of occasions during our two week stay in saundersfoot, we found it to be the best place to eat ,drink and meet friends in the town. The menu is quite varied with the emphasis on quality and value...

Top food and great service. My wife and I went during our trip to Pembrokeshire and had a fantastic evening with drinks and food.

Definitely recommend going here. Beautiful food and cocktails. Amazing staff and lovely place. Xxxxx
