The Boathouse in Teignbridge

Can’t fault anything! The service was great and they were very welcoming. There were three of us in our party, and we all enjoyed what we ordered very much. So much so, if we lived closer, we’d definitely come again. I don’t eat puddings, but chose to have one, and glad I did, it was lovely. All three of us have left happy and full. It’s a lovely place, in a great setting, would recommend to anyone who is in the area.

Booked a table online and left all contact details available. When we got there, it was all shut! There was no warning at all!

Food was mediocre. But what was incredibly annoying was the portion size. Ordered the cajun salmon. The mash was 3 times the size of the pitiful piece of salmon. It wasn't exactly cheap £17 + Not even close to being value for money.

Came as a society group of 30 people and only booked 2 days beforehand, so really appreciated the flexibility from the staff. Lynn was super helpful and catered to our adjusted numbers as and when it was needed and even got in extra staff for us! Food was good, generic pub grub but lovely decor inside the restaurant too. A good experience overall and we’ll hopefully be back in the summer when the weather is better!

I’ve always enjoyed a quick bite at The Bosthouse when visiting Dawlish Warren. The food is fine and the views from upstairs are great. However the customer service today made the experience unpleasant. The server upstairs took my order with no eye contact and no apology when she told me to go downstairs to order a milkshake. The service downstairs was dreadful - 2 members of staff, clearly overworked and fed up, but not hiding this from customers at all. A very long wait for a milkshake whilst one member of staff pointedly turned his back on us to sort out his working area. The other shrugging that he could only go so fast. The staff in no way deserved the horrible treatment and language from one customer, but management should be making sure their staff are not so demotivated that the sevice levels drop and they have to deal with this behaviour. My food arrived before I could return to the table with the milkshake in the end.

We were the welcome caravan park .it's just a short walk away near the beach at dawlish warren. Nice food and excellent service and drinks

Family friendly menu and local ales in a comfortable, easy going pub atmosphere. Nice food and good service. Beach promenade very close by. Level access, although parking some 250 metres away.

Good food, service abit slow. Atmosphere very nice. Good decor. Just a little bit short of 5 stars.

Waited for almost 25 mins for two toasted sandwiches, which was hardly toasted.

Starters came with mains. The mains were returned and the same came back to us 25 minutes later probably after being left under a heat lamp as the salad was wilted am very warm and the meals were warm not hot. Not impressed at all. One member of staff had an attitude won’t be eating their again.

We just have a drink "Pornstar Martini" but the atmosphere in the evening it's amazing :)

I made staff aware of onion allergy so requested no onions on my meals, both plates came out with red onion, sent food back to wait a further 20 for cold chips to be put in front of me! Steak baguettes were tough and chewy and no flavour. Meals were priced as £12.95 each yet I paid £14.95 each meal! Won't be returning again! Deeply disappointed.

Great food and atmosphere,Jackie really went above and beyond helping us and made the experience a really great one will e returning Thankyou Jackie!

Nice bar right on the seafront at Dawlish Warren. Good range of beers as well as all the drinks you'd normally expect. Good range of pub grub at reasonable prices. Staff friendly and deco atmospheric. Dog friendly.

Always love this pub. And always will. Just such a fab pub.

Fantastic place quite a good selection of foods to choose from ranging from about £12 upwards, also smaller plates available. Great atmosphere, staff very friendly and mega efficient. Dogs made very welcome in the lower deck. Enjoyed it a lot.

Staff go above and beyond to make your visit a good one plenty of seating dog friendly and good choice of food balcony has great views as well. Make sure you pay a visit.

Typical british pub food. Don’t eat in

Great location with nice views. Reasonably priced - pint of beer for £6!

Lovely pub with a big outside. Food is pub grub but was delicious

Absolutely gorgeous food, on the seafront . Big portions

Smashing food drink was reasonable very comfortable and busy 👍

Dogs allowed to sit on tables. Enough said.

Popped in for a cheeky cheesy chips and was pleasantly surprised. Password for the guest WiFi is cocktails2023

Return visit and didn't fall. Amazing service great food great drink

On the poster it showed a waffle with ice cream. They charged us £2 extra for the ice cream. Underhand

This place has really gone done hill bad service and food not great 😑

Good pub grub and friendly staff.

Was quiet when I visited and that's how I like it. Decent pint of Jail Ale

Lovely location. Most of staff very friendly bar one girl serving on top floor who seemed miserable and just felt she had to be there Food ….. very very expensive if your a family. But they know the location and lack off other choices can get away with it. Having said that we did dine in one night towards end of holiday and I must admit all meals we had were good. I had the half chicken and was really nice and succulent as my son. Did too. Both Faultless. Wife daughter in law and children no complaints so yes well overpriced but good. Only reason docked points. The miserable staff up top bar and price. Would return tho as food was good

Staff were very friendly and the food was spot on will be visiting there again on the family camping trip next time

Food was good service was good bit pricey

Decent enough pub by the Dawlish Warren seafront. Expensive for food. It's fine for a stop off for a drink. Nice decor.

Attended me with my family of 6. The food was very mediocre. Myself and my husband had steak but the whole meal was very basic. Kids food was good, atmosphere was nice but the toilets were foul. The women’s toilet smelt like sewerage and is generally very run down. My husband said the men’s wasn’t very clean either. It has potential to be brilliant because the inside is quirky and the location is great

Brilliant pub love sitting out side with the dog and listening to the sea

Food was mainly nice. £80 for two adult and two kids meal is very steep in my opinion. The view is stunning, with a good sized garden. They serve milkshakes, cake, desserts downstairs.

Lovely views and nice atmosphere, food is good for the price.

Yearly customers been today and payed 9.10 for two drinks. Drinks bad quality flat and tasteless

Pretty good food, but could do with more than 2 vegetarian options, both of which are halloumi (there may have been a veggie curry or something, but a very limited selection regardless). Also, every time we've been, staff have acted put out about our arrival, even when it isn't busy at all.

Nice place to eat after a hard day on the beach.

Good amount of seating over 2 floors including an outside terrace. The food was brought out quite quickly and the portion sizes were very good. The vegan burger was a bit lackluster for the price - to look at it on the plate it just looked like a powdered bun - nothing visibly sticking out or stacked within it. The kids meals were a good size too. Ordered two Long Island Iced Teas - not the best. Far too much coke added. For a family of 4 (2 adult meals, 2 kids meals, 2 cocktails and 2 kids mocktails) the bill came to £72.70

The usual Boathouse but more hygienic a good experience

Classic pub grub - try the steak frites - delicious and great value.

Visited here whilst on holiday, excellent service, food arrived on hot plates! Beautifully presented. Staff friendly and attentive.

Situated at the far end of The Warren, this has been one of our go-to eateries when in the area. It has improved this time round, having been a little unpredictable on a couple of occasions, which was pleasing, to say the least. The food was excellent, and there is still a wide range of beers and lagers on offer.

Great dinner time in here with the Grandson, lovely atmosphere and the food delicious, roast dinner and a pudding. Service was really good , disabled friendly and friendly staff. Toilets clean. This place is in Dawlish Warren, and is on the coast.

Quality of food has really gone downhill and unfortunately doesn't match the price. All the good stuff pulled pork burger ...a decent curry etc has gone and been replaced by packet curry dry burger buns . Burgers dripping in cheap burger sauce bland food and concrete chips £55 for 3 basic meals that was rank. Used to eat there every night while on holiday won't be back.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Reasonably priced good quality food

No food on this occasion but great selection of drinks and warm atmosphere recommended

Good food. Good staff. Amazing location in one of my favourite parts of the world

A very competent family pub. A little overpriced for what it is, but I am sure this is a combination of the location and the lack of surrounding options. Ordering from your table is an option, but it requires a dedicated app and can only be used for drinks and snacks. I wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

Had lunch a few days ago. Great food and place

Wow best food in Dawlish the staff great,and cold river cider 🍺 🤩 so glad we found this place amazing can’t wait to return 💯 % from me

Tidy clean bar / grill. Big friendly welcome from the bar crew. Great choice of beers & other drinks. Lovely beer garden at the rear. Good one.

Lovely cheesy chips and a nice pint of ale.

Great atmosphere and also fab service was lovely just to sit down and relax and have a drink .

Great place friendly helpful staff with a good selection of drinks

Nice place to have a family meal and drinks nice to sit outside

It's too expensive. A bit of a tourist trap.

Nice spot to have a drink. Stopped to have a drink with family but was greeted by a bar attendant who had the most uninterested and borderline disrespectful attitude. The only word I got from her was no when I asked for particular cider, not even an acknowledgement when I said thank you when I paid for the round of drinks. I notice it says on The Boathouse website that they have friendly and smiley staff. I don’t think so!

The ribs were amazing but not much meat on them and the chips were nice And the ribs were really chewy. And the staff were amazing

Good food worth its price. I had the best burger in years. Nice atmosphere and quick service too. Some good views from the terrace.

£5.40 a pint of coors had better at price

Nice place we'll themed. Staff seem miserable 😕

There was 8 of us who had food, all the food was cheap and nasty at an expensive price, we won't be eating in the boathouse again,

Was dubious about coming after reading some of the recent reviews, however we were very pleased we did. Food was delicious and well presented, sesame chicken in particular was great! Staff friendly and the food was literally out within 10 minutes! Would definitely come again.

£10.95 for a breakfast that consisted of 1 sausage, 1 piece of bacon, 3 mushrooms, 1 egg , w slice of toast and a small amount of beans, really not value for money , plus the toilets smelt that bad we was close to bringing what we had eaten up all back up.

This was a lovely place to stop and eat with the children. The food was great and located right next to the beach, it was perfect.

Fabulous old pub with fantastic food. It was the best moules marinierre I've had in years.

Great place for drinks after the laying on the beach!

Can't fault this place at all. Been in a few times since I've been on holiday and it's amazing. Food is to die for and good choice of different beers. You will never struggle to find a table because of the size of the pub. Staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. Perfect place for a quiet drink or a family meal.

My family and I dined at the Boathouse at least a couple of times, during our beach holiday, in Dawlish Warren. There was a good variety on the menu including kids mocktail. The mocktails, nachos sharer, and sticky sesame chicken were the kids dinning favourites. There is the option to dine downstairs, upstairs, or outside. The scenery of the beach added to the atmosphere.

Great place with lovely food and attentive staff. Views also great from the balcony!

When I tried the mints I, the spaghetti botanist the mints were dried and the spaghetti had no sauce

beautiful day sitting in the beer garden.

Lovely and clean place. Very cosy

Enjoyed the experience, we revisited during our stay at Dawlish Warren and will do so again.

Cannot rate food as not had any.

Lovely friendly place. Good food.

I am giving a five star simply because of the view, people, Ambience, and service is just perfect. The food is affordable and the taste is excellent. The atmosphere has a welcoming shine to it. We forgot our water bottle, we went back and the waiter handed it over to us. They are honest and the service is quick.

My daughter didn't like the fish at all and I had tryed ut and immediately took it back out was not very nice at all came put way to quick 5 mins after ordering.

The boathouse is situated in the perfect spot, staff keen to help and friendly and seem pretty well trained, food turned up fairly promptly and the wine was reasonable, however there was a really dirty knife in the cutlery and I later noticed a dried sauce finger smudge on my plate after I'd been tucking into my burger! 🍔 I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt that the plate was a clean one!?! Great views from the promenade.

Loved it, lovely food, lovely area, nice looking pub

The upper deck seating allows you a view of the seaside at Dawlish Warren. We just had a cream tea, which was very good. Have eaten main meals there previously. Food has always been good.

Good food, service, views, bathrooms atmosphere

Unusually, for a seafront bar The Boathouse offers tasty real ales and not the boring "safe" mediocre beers you so often find. It has a wide selection of seating areas that add to atmosphere, including a space upstairs offering a children's play area and great views across the Warren to Exmouth and the Exe Estuary. Family friendly with helpful, efficient staff. Although I rarely eat out myself the meals seem to go down very well. Always a place to visit if you are down that way.

We sat outside on a beautiful sunny afternoon/evening. The service was quick and the food lovely. We drank cocktails/mocktails (as I was driving) and sat taking in the glorious view. Will be returning as soon as possible to holiday in Dawlish again and will definitely be back for all the above reasons.

Overpriced and under sized portions. You can get away with it short term if you have a captive custom, but if you want to survive you need to keep locals on board too. We won't be back.

If you are pushing a wheelchair go around to the back entrance where you will find easy access Dont make my mistake by entering from the front.once inside or sitting in the outside seating area it is a pleasant experience.

Pretty nice place with good food. I liked the drink that I ordered. Unfortunately, the lettuce wasn't very fresh in our food. The other thing that was a bit odd was that in the menu for drinks, there were no prices, which was annoying. The atmosphere and decor of the place were really nice . The person who was serving us was very polite, and they didn't bother us during food with question if everything is OK. They just picked the plates after .

We just had an ice cream outside, but it was very nice. We just sat outside in the sunshine

Went here for a light lunch ordered hot steak baguette with chips and salad, steak was cold and the chips was like match stick and just as hard, grand daughter had fish fingers chips and peas that was the same, sent it back wasn't much better when it returned only £45 but you expect it to be edible, won't be going back.

Only went for drinks but service was excellent and staff were very welcoming

We ordered a chicken kebab and a lasagne. Both dishes were well presented and initially looked to be nice. Both came with fries which were cold. The lasagne also came with cold garlic bread. The lasagne had no flavour and was really dry. When we told the person who collected the plates, they said they would tell the kitchen but offered no resolution to us. The chicken kebabs tasted fine, but again the fries were cold. Very over priced for the disappointing experience. The person who had the chicken kebabs had visited several times previously and had never had a bad experience. However, the experience that we had this time put off me as a first time customer and I doubt I willever return. I would have a more favourable view of the restaurant if the staff actively sought to reach a resolution to the poor food. For £45, for 2 mains and 2 drinks, it is a no from me. Staff were friendly aside from the issue highlighted and our seating request was met. There were issues with them getting the booking up on their system though. Edit: we have since had contact from Sally who has arranged to compensate for the poor experience.

Basically whetherspoons food but x3 the price

Love this place always pleasant especially in August when the grand kids are here

Great location and fast service (when it is quiet), but that is as much as I can say about it that would be positive. Cutlery was disgustingly dirty, the bar staff were rude and miserable. My daughter's "spaghetti bolognese" was just mince and spaghetti, no tomato or any kind of sauce/and kind of moisture. Massively over priced. Used to come here all the time, but I won't return

Just stopped off for quick drink

Excellent view of the sea and the Dawlish railway line. We had a great crab sandwich and a couple of pints. Friendly staff and a lovely position with a lovely menu to boot

Great drink but loved the lime and lemonade
