The Boat House in East Lindsey - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Probably the worst I've been in. Slow staff, rude staff.

Brilliant best place we went too. Great walk down to it. Saw a seal pup on the beach.

Fantastic Sunday carvery and great prices

went sunday fantastic value for money quick service plenty of meat (to much if I'm honest 😬😬) me the wife and my daughter went 3 soft drinks and 3 carverys £28 I think..... had to question if she had charged me to less 🤣🤣🙈🙈

first time here , and wow , the place is so busy , and know i know why , the food was amazing and amazing value for money , meat 🥩 was amazing , and so much choice of fresh veg :) 11/10

One women running round sweating bless her serving near enough everyone downstairs they need more staff. Small portions or food for ridiculously high prices

Took my wife whilst on holiday, sadly made a grave mistake as my wife's meal was disgusting, won't be visiting again, waited whilst everyone else was served, even those seated after ourselves, very, very disappointed I have to say, certainly wouldn't recommend whatsoever!

Went in For the carvery at 3pm. Young women who served me was rude and unhelpful. All the other staff were lovely. Went to get my meal and was told I would have to wait has they didnt have everything ready.was not told this at time of ordering...20 mins later still waiting. Finally got served my meal (food was nice , selection available not very good.... carrots , potatoes (not mash) yorkies and very hard stuffing plus meat. Went up to get some more potatoes for my daughter and was told I could only go up once....bit strange for a carvery!!! A lovely young lady behind the bar came over and served me some more potatoes and gravy and apologised for my initial wait. Overall a nice place and may have just had bad luck with the staff member and wait time.

Went in today. Mainly customers 50+. A glass got smashed on our table. Two of us went to report it incase of a hazard. Bar people did nothing. Just asked "are you ordering anything?" Bar was busy, but not so busy as that no one could leave bar to clean. They were just lazy and uncaring

Been visiting Ingoldmells for 20 years and it was our first visit to the Boat house, the staff were so welcoming and chatty, service was brilliant and the food was gorgeous.

Found this little gemstone hidden away, beautiful Seaview, breakfast to die for was the best I've tasted by far and cheap prices, Staff friendly and you can have a laugh with them. Dog friendly added bonus One small downfall coffee machine was not working when we there and the coffee was not great hand made but I would 1000 percent recommend a trip here.

Great place with good views across the beach on a hot day. Good drinks too. Not too rowdy.

Breakfast was well worth the money very clean and cooked nicely would defiantly recommend

Friendly staff, delicious food, amazing prices. We walked in from the promenade and had a family meal here. There was something for everyone. 3 of us chose roast dinners, which were really tasty. Our 10 year old had minute steak with chips, and we asked for peas on the side. This was from the snacks and light meals menu and it was a substantial portion for him. All of this plus 4 non-alcoholic drinks was £30.30. Highly recommend!

Beer is the cheapest of anywhere nearby. The staff are excellent and the entertainment is first class. If you want a table you usually need to get there before 7pm though

A friendly beach front bar with karaoke and friendly staff.

Great atmosphere, fair pricing. Loved the karaoke here. Family/dog friendly.

Really nice pub, great atmosphere and great service. We come down to skeg every year and make the walk from chapel st Leonard’s to the boat house, the near 2hr walk is definitely worth it. 👍

I'll do the place a favour and review them and not some of their obnoxious customers who maybe haven't heard a baby cry or a Scottish accent in a while. Big brave men who waited until they thought my wife had left before having a good old moan and laugh(dont worry she got them told). Decent outside space, bit cluttered inside but the lady behind the bar was nice. Server's a little sharp so we felt more of an inconvenience than somebody spending our money trying to support the local businesses. I'm sure for the right family it's a good place to go but it most definitely wasn't for us.

Sunday roast is amazing won’t go anywhere else

Absolutely wonderful bar on the outskirts of skegnes,busy bar,very clean and helpful staff,food and drink prices are unbelievable compared to everywhere else in skegness and the quality is the best around by a long way,this week skegness has been like a ghost town but when you go into this place it's bustling with people,just shows that if your quality of food and drinks is top notch and your prices are great people will come A massive roast dinner for £6.50 and a pint of hand pulled real ale for £3. All other beers were around the same price as well,lots of other food available again at brilliant prices,the homemade sandwiches at dinner time for £2.20 were the best I've had for a LONG TIME. Thank you to all the staff keep up the great work

The price of the food was very acceptable and enjoyable basic food. The beer was a great pint and again the price was great. Would I go again absolutely, infact I will be there in July, thank you 😊.

very good liverly pub staff very helpfull and friendly good pricers great atmosphere

Visited here for a carvery whilst at a weekend break at Butlins. Great pub, lovely attentive friendly staff, especially the man serving the carvery. Food was lovely and a good price. Would recommend to everybody. Great find for us 👍 😀

Absolutely amazing, we came as a group of 8 and were seated in about 10-15 minutes. Cannot fault the staff at all. The price of the carvery was around £8 which for the quality is so good, easily the best carvery I’ve had probably ever. We live up in the North East and plan on coming down again just for a carvery. Amazing. Keep it up!

Really friendly staff great place

Beef was dead and all looked miserable, staff was not friendly at all

Food is nice if you can get it... over an hour wait for breakfast and nearly 45 minutes for three coffees. No staff and no communication to customers around a wait on food or anything.

Over priced, got order wrong, waiting ages for food. Some things missing of plate and meal was just average.

Under cooked sausages, toast with no butter overpriced rubbish £50 for something that should of cost no more than £30, no drinks with the meals waited from ordering meals an finishing still no drinks after 45 minutes in the end had to get a refund, the place wasn't even that busy, save your money and go outside the park much much better, well disappointed 😔

Came here as on holiday at the site. Managed to find a table and asked for it to be cleaned in which waiter huffed n then sprayed the table over us. Then waited over a hour for over priced disgusting food. Had to ask where our order was and even though it was busy no one else was eating. Our food arrived freezing cold. My pregnant sister had food poisoning off her chicken tikka masala. £21,99 sirloin steak tasteless cold and inedible, mushrooms cold vile not cooked, chips repulsive, burger burnt and even the bun was black VILE shocking worst food we have had ! Avoid and go to McDonalds!

Brilliant pub an food kids loved it

Amazing place with good staff and good food 👌

Food, drinks, staff are excellent

What a lovely, lively place !! Overlooking the beach, very busy bar buy super efficient staff make sure the queue keeps moving !!

Just love the atmosphere and nice food and drink

The best roast dinner and carvery on the east coast .and a wonderful friendly atmosphere.

Very Good place to visit it was my first visit to The Boathouse in Skegness i came on coach trip with Coopers Tours in Grimsby N.E.Lincolnshire.

Had a breakfast food was cooked perfect amazing value for money, definitely go back

Fantastic atmosphere! Enjoyed the karaoke. Was packed inside and out. Looking forward to trying the food.

Very good sevice and food was excellent thanks

Cheap beer , Nice food . Nuf said

Fantastic place to go for a meal and a drink, very reasonable especially the mini carvery so cheap excellent definitely recommend to anyone.

Love the place my karoke spot lovely place to be

Topnotch Sunday dinner, amazing staff

Great value food and a fantastic view of the coast

Decent meal for a cheap price Nice sea view

The BEST roast beef dinner you will find for miles!! Simple no frills karaoke layout. The food,service,beer and price make this very hard to beat in terms of value for money.outstanding!

What a find!! Incredible carvery, fantastic value for money and such warm and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Just the most delicious carvery. The best in Skegness plus their breakfasts are excellent too.

We was staying at Butlins so decided to visit the boat house . The beer was half the price and a pint of caffreys was only £2 .it was a nice relaxing pub with an old style jukebox with memorabilia of elvis and beatles . It made a nice change from the hassle and bustle of Butlins 80s weekend . Friends had a Sunday roast and all were happy .

Didn't eat but the menu looked very good value for money. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming on a very cold evening, can recommend the draught beer that they served.

The carvery was lovely & the price was very good - fantastic value!

Been meaning to try the carvery here for years. Finally had one today, very fresh and well cooked vegetables the beef melted in your mouth. It's help yourself and it's served between 11.45am - 16.00.. Also dogs welcome.

Staff absolutely amazing friendly and make you feel so welcome

Nice place, in season karaoke every night, food nice, out the way on the sea front but worth the trip

Fine place. The food is basic but reasonably priced. Often busy. Cheap drink offers!

This is the BOAT that rocks. Last Sunday was great with a buzzing vibe, great people of all ages. Singing, laughing in great humour. Will not comment on the cuisine. I am a fat boy with only room for 🍺. I SINCERELY believe this is a fantastic venue. Encourage your comrades to visit, and the prices are spot on. There is only one issue I have, I witnessed a chap struggling to find a seat. I then noticed a man using two stools with his dog using ONE. Please tell him he is out of order PLEASE.

Went for breakfast and waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for the food to then arrive cold. The pub was basically empty so what was the hold up? No apology and staff did not seem to care about poor service. Beans and tomatos were freezing and eggs congealed. Horrendous.

Always a good place to go when you're on holiday

First visit to The Boat House. Popped in for a full English, wasn’t disappointed. Excellent breakfast, food was very good & cooked perfectly, just like your mama’s. Two full English breakfast options, large & Medium. Plenty of alternative options available. Coffee was also very nice. Worth every penny .

Excellent service prices reasonable happy atmosphere best pub in skeggie

This has to be the best carvery in the area. The selection of vegetables is fantastic.

Was recommended by my children who work at Butlins - great little. pub, prices very reasonable. Being at butlins its very easy to fall in the tourist trap, but the Boathouse is great. Did not have the food but it looked good and plenty of people were eating, Good selection of alcoholic drinks and priced great, I got 5 x pints for around £20. Good entertainment and plenty of novelty decor. Well worth a visit - service is something to be desired for, I think the barmaid was in a bad mood when I came

Fantastic little pub on seafront, excellent food great prices, brilliant friendly atmosphere 😀 👌

Great Sunday carvery,and the young man serving was cheerful,polite and very welcoming.

I love this place good food good beers great atmosphere and always a great group of people 👍

Lovely friendly pub with great atmosphere, do a cracking Sunday dinner but on the last visit they had ran out of food

Loved the boathouse 1st visit really enjoyed it reasonable prices and great service 🙂

Had breakfast for 7 of us, we all asked for well done this none of that and we all got what we wanted

Great pub, nice staff great views of beach

Brilliant atmosphere karaoke night are great the staff are really friendly

Excellent, friendly staff and good range of beers and cheap

Me and my friends absolutely love it here , such lovely and brilliant friendly staff always a great atmosphere we always have the best time and make new friends here to , fantastic place to be with put a doubt 😀 ❤️ we love a sing song as well 🤩

I have gone a few times here and never had a bad meal yet, went for brekky 2 weeks ago on my own, Shane was very polite and helpful. Also came in with husband last week for brekky and just missed it, but they still got me a coffee and husband a drink (paid of course) defo a great person to be served by and to ask anything and he'd do his best to help. Thank you

Friendly staff always ready to help and good prices for bar , would recommend x

Brilliant place loved it very warm and inviting

Lovely breakfast great value for money xxx

Good food and a good atmosphere

Great food atmosphere and location, right on the beach

Brilliant pub frendly bar staff brill good beer great beer garden

Pleasant staff valve for money.Good food.

I came in with my dogs and a member of the staff from butlins kicked my dog to move it out of the way they barred my dogs from going in but I can still go on I think this is wrong it was my regular bar I love it I have never been back in since

Nice place, but there was a strange aroma of vomit at the main bar

Ordered pint and a latte, latte came over flowing with milk running down the side when I mentioned it I was told it over flowed had to clean cup myself really poor service.

Good food seafront location, friendly staff

Not the friendliest of bar staff. Food okayish. Seems to have its own clique. Won’t be going back anytime soon.

0 stars ! Went for a Carvery. No high chairs for babies. Only seen 2 in the whole restaurant in use. A family let us have one of theirs as one of their children had finished eating. As soon as I started to move the high chair for my 1 year old to use a member of staff came and snatched it out of my hands claiming it was for a reserved table that was not even in the restaurant yet. Absolutely disgusting service and behaviour from staff to snatch a high chair from a customer. Did not stay to eat. Went elsewhere. Would not recommend here if you have small children that need high chairs or just a person who would like nice service as this is lacking sufficient high chairs and staff are rude.

Great Atmosphere always busy good beer 😎👍

Just like my family so so big harted the staff are really really so so friendly they make every one welcome

Good, friendly staff. Slightly overpriced but no real complaints. Nice location

Myself and my friend came here on Tuesday and the food was fantastic. We enjoyed the view from the balcony and plenty of drinks.

A fabulous little freehouse full of really friendly staff.

Had a lovely carvery. Staff very friendly. Will be back

Very friendly bar with good food and drinks, Only £2:90 a pint and meals for £6:50 average price Would highly recommend

Good service cheep food but good quality meals cheep bear Carling/smiths/Strongbow 2.90 karaoke every night well worth a visit sea front pub outside butlins

Located only minutes from the Butlins beach entrance it is very easy to get to. The pub itself has a great selection of drinks and very cheap. We had carvery and some children's meals. The carvery was superb. The meat was fantastic and the roast potatoes were some of the best I've had. The children's meals were great value too. The treacle sponge was very good with plenty to go at. A great view over looking the sea. The staff were extremely friendly. All in all, a great visit and we will definitely be back.
