The Boat House in Tewkesbury - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very disappointing evening at The Boat House in Tewkesbury. My wife booked a table for 4 of us to eat on a Saturday evening. When we arrived, we were greeted with a sign blocking the entrance to the steps leading to the restaurant, which read, private party please go to the rear. We were expecting to go up to the restaurant at the rear of the property. My wife informed a waiter that we had a table booked for 4, and he replied that we could have any empty table on the patio area as there was a private party upstairs. I asked my wife if she was given this information when she telephoned earlier that day and my wife replied "No". The waiter said sorry and walked away quickly. I asked the waitress if it was new management at the pub and she replied that the waiter who had spoken with us was the manager. We were disappointed that we were not given this information when we booked and did not plan on eating a meal outside later in the evening on a cold patio area. We did not stay and eat a meal because we were worried the food would be as bad as service we had received immediately when we arrived at the restaurant. I cannot give feedback for food as we left the restaurant.

Not been here for ages. Nice and relaxing and friendly staff. Good home cooked food with good service. Catered for allergies that we had. Taken a star off as toilets could do with a spruce but all clean which is the main thing. Thank you. 😊

Really disappointing Sunday dinner, tiny portion of beef, soft dry and chewy roast potatoes too long under heat lamp and not fresh tasting, overcooked cauliflower cheese with more sauce than anything. Veg was ok. Yorkshire was stodgy and thick at the bottom. Salt and pepper in sachets and had to ask. Won’t be going back unfortunately. Service was ok and staff friendly.

Great to see this place under new management and staff who care. Dog friendly, good dry rose and really good well presented tasty food. Look forward to the outside area being completed and next time, eating outside.

Great to visit this pub and restaurant with lovely views over the Avon and weir. Had a Sunday lunch with my partner, we both had roast chicken which was delicious! Mixed vegetables, cauliflower cheese, homemade Yorkshire pudding and pigs in blankets. We’ll be back again and compliments to the chef! Great food

I’ve missed the boathouse and the original management, and it’s so good to see them back. They’re working super hard to get the place back up to scratch and it’s looking and feeling amazing. Can’t wait to try their roasts again this Sunday and sit in the sun next to the Weir

Just had the most fabulous fish and chips at the Boathouse Tewkesbury. Warm welcome, cool atmosphere and a real pleasure. There were 10 years of a fabulous Boathouse, then 18 months of ‘What happened there?’ Now, Dawson is back at the helm and this place will take off again; I’m sure. Good luck guys; you deserve it.

Imagine getting engaged after finding your sole mate… Imagine finding a venue and having an engagement party to celebrate… Imagine sitting down and arranging your wedding with the same venue in October- menus, table options, drinks options etc… Imagine agreeing on a price and sending a deposit… Imagine paying £160 for a taster menu in November…. Imagine having your invites designed and printed and being ready to go out… Imagine giving these details to the florist, cake maker and DJ etc… Imagine being told the venue is shut and that new management were taking over… Imagine being “reassured” that your big day will still go ahead as planned… Imagine meeting the new management face to face and discussing the wedding and being told it was doable and planning the next meeting to discuss table placements. A month goes by… Imagine just FIVE months before your wedding that same venue calls you and bluntly says…. “SORRY WE CANT GO AHEAD WITH WHATS AGREED AND IM REFUNDING YOUR MONEY BACK TO YOU!!!!!”😡🤬 WEDDING CANCELLED!!!! No face to face discussion!! A poxy phone call!! No option to negotiate on price or modify the original booking… Imagine the worry, upset and pure heartbreak of knowing your big day won’t go ahead… SHAME ON YOU THE BOATHOUSE TEWKESBURY!!!! Absolutely disgusting customer service and zero compassion for the distruction you have caused!! I will never step foot in that place ever again!

Friendly service with delicious, simple food. Portions were exceptionally generous and well prepared. Chef happy to make changes to the menu to accommodate food allergies. Recommended for a ‘rustic charm’ experience. Great music! 🎵

Sadly the clientele was bellow average and full of non local folk. A lot of time invested in the outside, but the inside still like a run down doss house. Food was averag

We attended The Boat House in Tewkesbury as a lunch party for our first family reunion since before the first lockdown in 2020. Altogether there was 12 of us. We ordered our food and drinks and enjoyed the lovely location on the river on a beautifully sunny day. We all ordered, including myself (pregnant) as well as 3 children and the remaining adults. An hour and 20 minutes later, we had not received our food. My brother went into the venue to ask and the response from staff was ‘we don’t know when it will be ready. You’re a priority though’ and they walked away. This was unacceptable. I understand places get busy, especially when they have a great outdoor space on a warm day but at least 4 other tables came after us, ate, paid and left and we were not even given the courtesy of an apology. We then decided not to stay as we did not know when our food would be arriving. We asked for the bill and the staff were very blasé with us and again did not offer an apology. I think this is appalling and unacceptable. Very disappointing and would not recommend.

I’ve visited twice in the past two weeks the first time was for drinks and food with friends who were passing by, my friend and her partner both had lipstick marks on their glasses- not nice especially with Covid going around.....I decided to give it another chance on a hot sunny day as it’s in a great spot ...feeling hopeful we ventured down, we arrived and ordered some drinks and asked for the food menu, managed to order some drinks, they arrived but we were not given any menus, my Prosecco was flat, eventually I got given a new one but again not much bubbles and relatively flat, I’d asked for a menu when I was up sorting the my drink out and when the second drink arrived no food order was taken - eventually I went up to pay as we were fed up - we had waited over an hour, I don’t mind if a place is busy and they let you know service is going to be slow but this service was just awful, just badly organised, no one asked how we were or if we needed anything, they didn’t even know the table numbers and the waitresses were going up to tables with wrong orders. Just complete chaos, being an ex air hostess and VIP air hostess I found this service below par, also cigarettes on the floor. Just needs a bit of love put into it and a bit of management! I worked in a bar once and we had to make sure the patio was immaculate before guests, they sent even bothered in this place.....don’t recommend and I won’t be going back!

We stopped here for lunch during a day bike ride. It was cold but they had three patio heaters going under the roofed area. I'm Coeliac so needed gluten free. There were several options. I had the salmon which was very nice, partner had fish and chips which was a massive portion and the fish was very good. We didnt need to wait too long and the serving staff were nice. Its a lovely setting between the canal and the river. Must be superb on a warm summer day.

Visited last week with 2 friends for an early birthday dinner. Loved the outside seating arrangements & heaters. Great food with plenty of choice. It was busy & had a great atmosphere. Going back this week ....& maybe next :) Please bring back the Scotch Eggs starter !

Outdoors only at the moment and understandably more difficult than usual for the staff. But after sitting at a table for half an hour and have waitresses walk past numerous times and totally ignore us and serve others we got up and left. I did ask once if we could order so they knew we were waiting but continued to treat us as though we were invisible. Just plain rude.

Wonderful view and the very best food!! Lovely lady serving us. Quick and absolutely gorgeous tasting veggie burger and a salmon with potato! Will travel here again!!

We dropped in for lunch and an excellent meal made up of a mix of starters. The lamb koftas were superb as was the calamari. Beautiful views of the river but the carpet near the entrance could do with replacing .

Me and my family booked a table of 6 on Saturday night. Staff were great and we got a round of drinks in first pronto style!With their normal menu and specials board there was a great choice of food too. We had a few starters to begin with including a lush baked camembert!Main course was equally tasty with some of us ordering the sea bass, duck and fish & chips. You could tell there had been a spruce up on the decor since coming back inside :-)Overall a spot on experience and all COVID related guidelines had been observed too. Highly recommend!

I came here as I saw online that they are known for their cocktails. I was therefore very disappointed when I arrived and they said they are no longer serving a cocktail menu. The bartender did make me a Japanese iced tea but I wasn’t very impressed; it was weak and just tasted of lemonade. I had a chicken starter which was very under seasoned and tasted plain; hubby had the olives and bread, which he enjoyed. On the plus side, the riverside views were lovely as was the warmth from the fireplace.

I sat by the window and watched the weir and rushing water which was a relaxing way to spend the early evening. The portions are generous and very tasty. There was music playing but it was at a reasonable level.

Looking a bit sorry for itself. No alcohol free beer/lager on offer.. dogs welcome but we didn't stop.

Han abierto el exterior para que ahora pueda sentarse con una bebida y una vista. Personal amable y educado. Tuvimos algunos bocadillos en el bar que estaban deliciosos, todos a un precio razonable. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente si desea tomar una copa junto al río por la tarde y no se requiere reserva previa.

Great service, food excellent must have trio for roast dinner and we will be back and recommend, thank you robin and cassie x

Sospecho que este bar ha cambiado mucho recientemente ya que su sitio web y las reseñas anteriores no reflejan la situación actual, que es que este es un bar realmente bien ubicado que sirve algo de comida; a pesar de lo que dice el sitio web, no sirve cócteles, no hay lista de vinos, por lo que no lo recomendaría para una noche romántica. Sin embargo, si ignora las alfombras realmente pegajosas, el servicio fue excelente, la cerveza fría, las vistas excelentes y el personal servicial. Tuvimos una hamburguesa que estaba deliciosa y bien preparada, pero no una experiencia gourmet.

Drinks and setting outside were perfect. Unfortunately the food on offer seemed a bit tired and lacking the flair and freshness we have come to expect from this one time favourite place.

Casi no vine aquí debido a las críticas recientes, pero estoy muy contento de haberlo hecho. La comida (tuve el pato especial), el personal y el lugar eran absolutamente impresionantes. Me sentí completamente seguro por Covid con estaciones para desinfectar tus manos y marcas claras en el piso.Está claro que el personal ha trabajado duro para poner el lugar en funcionamiento.Mi familia ha reservado un cumpleaños para el próximo mes y no podemos esperar.

I arranged to meet my brother and his partner at the Boathouse as a family occasion with my mother and son. The location is 80 miles for each of us to reach but is a half way point between Staffordshire and Somerset. We have met there twice previously and had a pleasant time. I booked a table for us a week in advance. When we arrived, we noticed most of the furniture in the restaurant appeared to be spread out outside. I went inside to ask for our table but was told we needed to sit outside. I explained that I wasn't told this when I booked and my mother wasn't able to sit outside as she is almost 80 and it was actually a very chilly day. I was told to mention it downstairs as they may help.I did as requested but was told eating inside wasn't possible. No apology or explanation was offered and the staff seemed totally unconcerned at our dilemma. Fortunately we managed to find somewhere which appeared to be managing to meet government guidelines re Covid 19 without making their clients sit shivering outside!

Lovely place to grab a casual drink, not really suited to dining if its not warm outside!!! You need to wrap up warm here.

Compliments to the chef for a delicious meal, we took advantage of the government offer on discount meals, we are definitely going back and more than happy to pay full price, I had the lamb and it’s the nicest meal I’ve eaten in a long while everyone else really enjoyed theirs. Highly recommend

We booked The Boathouse for my sons birthday as a treat for the family. At no point were we told we’d have to sit outside - if we had then I’d have gone elsewhere as my 75 year old dad was with us and we were really cold, it felt like eating in someone’s back yard. The Food wasn’t great all round, my lamb contained more fat than meat and we all came away feeling hungry and disappointed.

We booked a table for a family meal but when we turned up we were told that we had to eat outdoors because of coronavirus restrictions. We were not told that we would have to eat outdoors at the time of booking. It was a cold day and windy and I did not want my elderly mother catching a chill outdoors. I have had many indoor meals in restaurants since they reopened in July and I don't understand why this very spacious restaurant did not allow us inside. Fortunately, a restaurant in the town with a more measured response to the pandemic was happy to take our booking and allowed us to eat indoors.

Lovely setting . Menu was good . Service was friendly but slow . Good selection for kids . Well spaced out for social distancing , very clean with a one way system . Nice food reasonably priced .

Food was ok, but my goodness it was like sitting in someone’s half finished garage. His was a shame and we appreciate it is all due to the current times. Maybe we will try again sometime. Staff were very pleasant.

A wonderful location close to Tewkesbury town centre. Free parking on site. In this our party of four two were satisfied with the meal and two were not. My chicken burger was very dry and had no taste whatsoever. The building and toilets are in desperate need of refurbishment. Service was very slow although friendly. Clearly not enough staff on as they were working very hard.

The ambience and the staff were great. We sat at a table outside where we could see the boats and listen to the water. The food was salty and was not as expected. I had oven roasted chicken (starter) & chilli, battered haddock & chips. My companion had minted lamb koftas with toasted pitta (starter) and oven roasted lamb rump. The starters were lovely even though the toasted pitta was a bit greasy but the mains were very salty. We decided not to risk dessert. (Weds 12/08/2020)

great value for great food,great service,great wine,great venue,will visit again,easy parking,wonderful evening.

We cannot comment on the food as we didn’t stay to eat. We booked a table over the telephone for dinner that evening on the outside terrace.Arrived to find the place overrun. The outside terrace consisted of picnic tables filled with people shouting at each other.Social distancing was not mentioned anywhere and certainly the customers were not social distancing being crammed onto the picnic benches. We approached a member of staff and asked about our booked table. We were told that they had ‘lost control’ and that ‘people just kept walking in’. They said that ‘upstairs’ had not told them about any bookings and there were no tables. We had travelled 30mins to sit by a river in the pleasant environment their website indicated, to be greeted with unsafe chaos and no table. In these times it is particularly concerning and I would approach with caution until the staff regain some control over their customers.

We enjoyed a fine lunch, outside the main pub/restaurant, close to the little marina. Food was tasty, if a little slow in arriving, but that wasn’t a problem. Service was fine too, and it was a very pleasant visit. Unfortunately, the place was let downby the toilet area, which wasn’t as clean as it could be, especially given the current circumstances. Maybe some attention should be given to this area?

Pub was busy but not manic, ordering drinks took a bit of time, so did food, we both ordered the Cheeseburger and chips and it took nearly half an hour to arrive. Food was very good it must be said, though how can a pub that's been shut for 3 months and open for 10 days run out of vinegar??! These are tough times and really Pubs should be uping their game with service etc..

Sunday lunch was very nice, staff very helpful, clean and tidy. Sunday lunch was £14 for a single meat or £15 for three, also no problem with the grandson running around, also the dog is allowed, most enjoyable, will use again, great espresso martini.

We visited the boathouse for a lovely dinner last night, for an entree we decided to share the grazing board, this was amazing, mains also first class, service was first class and the atmosphere is awesome.

What a gorgeous roast pork dinner! Perfectly cooked meat, crackling, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding & gravy. There was an additional dish of at least 3 fresh vegetables. I was a little concerned that I wouldn’t have room for anything else! When ordering my main course, I had asked for the dessert menu. The staff remembered that I had, some months ago, asked for a cheese board at the beginning of our meal, so that the cheese would be room temperature & not cold from the fridge. Again the cheese selection was delicious, great coffee too. Thank you to all the staff tonight for a great evening!

We met up here half way to catch up with family after Christmas. There was a lovely baby grand piano, which apparently is played in the Boat House once a week. Good food, service and puddings.

we stayed in Tweksbury pre christmas and decided to try this pub because of the great reviews. We were so disappointed and a little stunned at how awful it seemed.I had booked a table a week before. On arrival there were only two tables occupied. A girls was serving a customer at the bar and a young guy was behind the bar sorting things out. Both ignored us and didn't even make eye contact. Eventually the guy looked at us and I told him I had a reservation for 4. He acknowledged that fact but didn't say or do anything else. I asked if there was anywhere in particular we had our table reserved and he then said he would take us to our table.Before we ordered drinks we asked for a bottle of sparkling mineral water and he told us they didn't have any bottles left. We seemed really surprised a pub would have no sparkling water and then he said he thought there might be 1 left.As he left, we felt very comfortable. The pub was 'dead' , it was not welcoming and we began to have doubts about the quality of service and food. We decided to leave.On our way out we bumped into the young barman and told him we had changed our minds. He just shrugged his shoulders! He didn't ask us why, or persuade us to stay. Zero customer service or awareness. We left feeling relieved that we had avoided a disaster.We will never return t the pub if in the area again and will advise anyone who asks to give it a wide berth. I'm still shocked at how awful our experience was compared to the good reviews we relied on.

Superb family night out! Me, my partner our 4 month old and her parents had a night out here tonight and I cannot fault this place. Great food, beer and service and for reasonable prices! Would reccomend to anyone.

Stopped off on way to Chester. Had sea bass 1 1 hour later feeling unwell. 2 hours later vomiting and stomach pains. Ex nurse this is a clear food poisoning. Clearly food has been contaminated. Give this place a wide berth!

Enjoyed a Sunday evening roast at The Boat House with a friend and we were both impressed with the quality of the food; portion size and the friendliness of the staff. I’d really recommend the roast sirloin beef followed by a delicious sticky toffee pudding. Thank you to all.

We took two friends for a meal in Tewkesbury, our last night before they left. We decided to try this place as somewhere different. When we walked in it was almost empty but decided to still give it a try. However the night was ruined by an unprotected candle burning on the window sill. I was looking out of the window to see if flood water was getting higher, only have my coat (which was new) caught by the flame and it melted as well as burning my finger. I told the waitress who just opologised which I was taken back. The candle was a little one but should have been in a jar or some other protecting container. Not a naked flame which could have been extremely dangerous. Unfortunately my coat is ruined. Not a happy customer.

I’m not sure what’s happened to the Boat House which has been a regular eatery for my friends and I. We met for a light lunch recently and were so disappointed with our food. We all chose food from the ‘specials’ board but there was nothing special about it. The linguini was rubbery and too salty. The steak sandwiches were tough poor quality beef presented on plastic inedible buns. The leek & potato was acceptable but nothing special. More like a tin from the supermarket. The service was not up to the normal standard either, making us feel more like an inconvenience than lunch guests. We have previously enjoyed dining here but something has definitely changed.........

Just ok. Will not be returning any time soon. Place needs some serious tlc including the outside approach. Looks down at heel. Had fish and chips which were sad.

¡Almorcé con mi esposo y mis dos hijas adolescentes!

A massive thank you to Johnny and his team, they came to our rescue and saved the day when our original wedding venue was flooded. With only 2 days notice they turned it round and we had our special day. Great food, top people.

De repente decidimos que saldríamos a almorzar, así que optamos por el cercano Boat House. Hemos estado allí tres veces antes y siempre lo disfrutamos. No fuimos para el asado del domingo ya que la comida es muy grande para los apetitos más pequeños. Fuimos para pasteles de pescado que son tan buenos.

Mi primera visita a la casa del barco por algunos años. Me sorprendió lo fácil que era conseguir una mesa un sábado sin reserva, ya que solía ser difícil en el pasado. El servicio fue fantástico y la comida deliciosa. Tuve la merluza especial al igual que mi hermana. Como intolerante al gluten, no pudo comer el ñoquis, que estaba con la comida, le ofrecieron fritos, que podría tener como extra. En general, un gran lugar aún si un poco más tranquilo de lo que recuerdo.

Lovely place near to our hotel - great decor inside and nice staff. Food was delicious - good take on pub classics. Nice to get away from the kids and enjoy a wonderful evening by the water

Visited here today with friends. We thought we would try it out as had pretty good reviews.

Dirty all over. Cob webs. Sticky tables and floor. Ideal setting. A week of cleaning and decorating wouldn’t go amiss. Then a food revamp. Sorry. Not good.

Took my family there on Thursday,it was great yet again, staff are very friendly as always, the food is the best in the area, that’s why we keep coming back, I recommend the smoked haddock starter and the lamb shank as a main, looking forward to the gin festival next week, best experience in Tewkesbury

Arrived around 8.30pm on a Tuesday for drinks and a meal, just the 2 of us.

A day visit to Tewkesbury...lovely town, but looking for Sunday eats at 4pm which did not have to be a Sunday dinner. My partner had been here many years before. From the outside it is a scruffy dump....fag ends, broken glass, rusty metal....not worthy of a really nice setting. A little TLC and this would be a go to location. The welcome was friendly and the food good. Fish and chips and the burger were more than adequate. The decor inside is good, the toilets need work. This should be a little gold mine.....but if you pass it by you would never go in as the outside is a disgrace......look past it and give it a go.......if you are the owner.......sort out the exterior!!

There was a group of 12 of us that went for an evening meal and a few drinks on a Saturday night. The service was very prompt and they were very friendly. We had three courses, our starter was alright but our main course and dessert was lovely. We enjoyed a few drinks sat outside by the river before our meal too.

Lunch visit two couples and dog.(which was made welcome.)

Stopped here because it looked like it might be a nice place to have lunch besides the river, but the situation wasn't as good we'd expected. However, the food was great.

We had a fabulous 2 course dinner this evening, food was well presented and flavours excellent. Compliments to the chef’s.

We booked in here as we were staying in the campsite in town. A real find. From the outside it really doesn’t look much but they welcomed our dog like an old friend and the food was absolutely lovely and fresh. The risotto was delicious and the sharing

Don’t be put off by the look of the exterior. Inside it’s warm and inviting. Staff were excellent and made our children very welcome. Food is of really good quality and reasonably priced. A great find in a new location for us- proves that Tripadvisor is a great place to find the hidden gems.

We'd walked around Tewkesbury and came across the Boat House, took one look and walked away. The outside wasn't particularly appealing. However as it was raining we decided to go in. Inside was completely different. Lots of wood, windows looking onto the canal and mooring area.

My family and I went for a roast dinner last Sunday and it was truly something special.

Visited The Booathouse with my husband for Sunday lunch. It was a beautiful day and having a table overlooking the river was a bonus. We both had the roast beef and it was perfectly cooked, good selection of vegetables and the Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes were lovely. What made it even better was the gravy, absolutely delicious. Staff were lovely. Will definitely be going back.

Visited a few days ago for my daughters special 16th birthday but wish we hadn’t. The food was poor - particularly the roast. The place seemed very shabby like it needed a refurbishment. Not cheap either! The service was adequate but nothing more. Give it a miss, you’ll be wasting your money! I can do better meals myself at home!

Went here as the place we wanted had stopped serving food in between owners.

This is the first time I have ever found Trip Advisor reviews to be inaccurate! Looking for somewhere to stop for a late Sunday lunch on our way home we found the Boathouse on Trip Advisor and the location and the reviews suggested this place would be ideal, however we were very disappointed. The place is run down and tired and the staff really were not interested. Food was at best adequate and location pleasant but could be so much better. Bitter was “off” as was roast chicken and roast pork but the vegetables literally being thrown down without eye contact or any words left us feeling unwelcome and very unlikely to return. Sorry but really don’t know how some people found this place to be as good as described on a Trip Advisor.

A stop off on the way home from a shopping trip for lunch. The Sunday roasts were beautiful, the presentation included :) The decor and view from the table is amazing Made the experience brilliant on a whole Will definitely be returning

Had an amazing roast dinner this Sunday, the gravy is the best I’ve ever tasted, staff were friendly and professional, next time I’m in Tewkesbury I’ll definitely be in for another meal

Rocked up and the place doesn't look that inviting rather grubby and run down,the surrounding area is lovely with the boats and the river. Due to a hungry children and time getting on we ventured inside. (probably wouldn't have done if time was on our side)inside isn't to bad but the staff don't seem to have a clue what is going on. We sat at a table with 3 grubby menus printed on a4 paper and decided what we wanted,got fed up of waiting for someone to take our order so ventured to the bar to place the order. As we sat waiting (a rather long time)for our meal to arrive I spotted what I think is the owner having a jolly up with his mates outside and leaving the staff what he must have got from the local youth club to run the show. The food finally arrived but atlas the order was wrong and the one that was right had a lovely short curly hair on it. We brought it to the waitresses attention who didn't seem to bothered not sure she even apologies just took the plates away. She came back 5 minutes later with the correct order and placed it on the table and walked of without as much as can I get your anything else ie sauces/drinks. By this time I'm was fed up so just ate what was in front of me which was rather poor in quality and taste. I went to the bar and settled up the bill the staff couldn't even be bothered to ask how it was. Probably because they knew the answer to it. Would never go back the place is tired and the service is poor. Maybe the owner should invest a bit more time in it and set an example to his staff instead of boozing in the garden.

Visited here with my parents this evening.

Good choice on menu- I was struggling to decide. Good quality ingredients well presented. Staff were knowledgeable, helpful and attentive.

The food was quite nice and the fish tasted fresh, batter was good. My friend enjoyed her calamari. I'd give the food 7/10.

We've always had great meals & service at The Boat House and last night was no exception. The food was gorgeous & the choice for veggies & meaties was ample. Staff were friendly, helpful & accommodating. Background pianist was a nice touch too!

it still needs some money put into pub like the front steps But the main thing is that prices are good and the food was great and my wife wants to go back there which to me says it all

I came to the boathouse for my 31st birthday with my family. We have always loved it and on this occasion, it still lived up to its high standards!

The website looked great but on arrival the restaurant was tired and sad looking and felt a little grimey, food wasn’t that good either. Felafal burger tasteless, chips not bad though. Roast beef was just ok. Best thing was looking out towards the river.

Food was no better than can be cooked at home, the burgers were bland and dry served on cheap nasty buns. Even cooking the chips correctly appears to be a struggle! Old, uncomfortable chairs and tables of all different sizes and heights (even when pre-booking for a group of 6 our tables where all over the place). Decoration in the toilets is abysmal, as is the cleanliness. Restaurant area is slightly better, but again isn't anything special. Definately wouldn't recommend and certainly won't be visiting again.

Was last here 6 years ago with a friend & found it so tacky but was willing to give it another try but sadly its absolutely awful ...Health & safety would have a field day ! The steps are so steep and rusty leading up to the establishment and the patio area so untidy and the main area at the top of the steps is due to collapse! Inside is dire & toilets awful,my friends cider was flat and was absolutely shocked looking at the food menu prices...The position is fabulous & could be a goldmine in the right hands also did not see any disabled access.. I won't be rushing back sadly.

Returning after 4 years got to say the place looks run-down from the outside. The Stairs leading up are rusty and breaking away. Got to say tho the food was spot on as per our 1st visit all fresh and enjoyable which is what matters. Decor inside still quirky but out side could do with spruce and the view from out side not great to the river high shrubs and tatty fencing..

Rigtig god service og skøn mad med hjemmelavet touch. Beliggenheden er hyggelig og har egen parkeringsplads. Vi kommer bestemt igen da der var flere retter på menuen vi gerne vil prøve.

This establishment is truly diabolical. I made the unfortunate decision to book a table for two for an important business meeting. During the 40 minute wait for our meal to arrive, my guest pointed out that there were dog faeces on the grubby carpet adjacent to our table. The overall decor is in dire need of cleaning and re decorating. The tiolets were absolute disgusting and the strong odour of urine was sickening. My booking was a 1:15 lunch slot. Alarm bells rang when I noticed the there were less than 8 customers present. There was only 1 waitress on duty who also doubled as the sole bar person. The main meal was palitable, however, the apple crumble deserts were stewed apple in cinnamon. There was no crumble present at all. The carpark is unkempt and more like a industrial estate than a eatery. Very dreary. The boathouse website is very very misleading and needs taking down. This is without a doubt the worst place I have ever dined at. Trip advisor, your advert for this establishment is not acceptable due to the innacuracy or you advert. I suggest that you visit these places before you advertise them on your website.

We stopped off here on our way into Tewksbury to meet friends. The staff were very welcoming and we enjoyed our lunch. They allowed us to leave our car whilst we went into the town to find our way around as we had never been here before.

Fairy relaxed bar, nice place to sit with friends and enjoy a quite drink. Also the option of food, but didn’t try any so not sure what’s it like.

We picked this venue based on other reviews , albeit mixed, but swayed by the location which is excellent

Had drinks here twice during our trip to Tewkesbury, once inside and once outside in the sun. The girls behind the bar were very friendly, drinks were nice and the décor was nice. Would recommend.

Went there last Sunday, group of 15 of us, we all had starters and mains, the roast dinners, everybody said was at a very high standard, the gravy is outstanding, the front of house staff were excellent and friendly, can’t wait to go back

It was the worse place ever. Went the for a Sunday roast in April. The steps leading up were covered in fag ends, the area looked like a canteen! No roast beef and the food was disgusting! Needless to say we won't be returning!

We had a Camembert to share which was very tasty. The main courses were very good and the staff were excellent

Un lunes muy tranquilo a la hora del almuerzo, realmente no podía juzgar el ambiente debido a esto, pero era muy acogedor y amigable.

Visited here for a coffee and was nice enough, but not blown away. Good service though. Coffee 'ok'. Nice views over marina area. Just feels like it needs a bit of updating.

Nice meal lovely views of the river has stairs up to the restaurant. Didn't have to wait to long for the meal. But it was fairly quiet when we went

Me and my partner travelled from Cardiff for a funeral in Gloucester. We both wanted to see Tewkesbury again, so left early to get lunch there. The Boathouse, on the island has superb views over the wier pool. We watched the cormorants diving from our table. A modern pub, very clean, with toilets to match. Getting there at midday it was quiet, so the barman was taking and serving orders. Great guy, very attentive. I had herb and garlic mushrooms to start. Superb! My partner had the brushchetta, and cleared her plate. Main was my tiger prawn and crab linguini, again superb. My partner had fish and chips which she really enjoyed. Getting there early we took advantage of the fixed price meal deal, which reduced the cost from £34.45 to just £23.90, for both of us. Only one criticism. As I was driving I asked for a bottle of alcohol free beer. Sadly not available. So had a shandy instaid.

Visited on Saturday evening and as soon as we walked in we found there was a lovely atmosphere created by the restaurant's own pianist.

The food, the staff and the views are lovely. A little lacking in atmosphere and no music on so it felt a little exposed. The food was great. The steak was done to perfection, and the chicken was great.
