The Boathouse in Teignbridge

The staff are welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly too.

Visiting Dawlish Warren and the place is right by the sea with great views. Two balconies and we thought we'd have a coffee and cake up there, it was 10am and it just opened, well partially. Went in and only the ground floor was open. They don't open the upstairs until noon. I presume staffing is the issue but it's their best selling point and really missing a trick in my opinion. Had a look at the menu. Not cheap by any means and the food looked typical pub grub. Went back in the afternoon for drinks on the balcony ( see photo).Room for improvement, me thinks.

Friendly, albeit very young and nervous staff. Full of screaming children and the food was below average, tasted like boil in the bag chicken and the nachos were soggy

Right by the beach and with lots of tasty options.

I don’t normally complain but me & wife had food it was ok . Nothing special I went to use downstairs men’s toilets to find sick in the urinal & the toilet . I told the bar staff & they replied I can use the upstairs toilet if I want . This was only 12 midway .& to be honest it looked like the men’s restroom hade t been cleaned that day .

The Boathouse save my birthday! Having booked to go elsewhere for my birthday based on recommendations which ended up being poor. We drove to the boathouse to get dessert and it didn’t disappoint. Our second visit whilst visiting Dawlish and I’d highly recommended it. Thank you.

One of my favourite places for pub lunch, absolutely delicious and friendly staff.

Ordered the choice of 3 starters, 1) sticky sesame chicken, 2) Smokey BBQ riblets and 3) Mango chilli prawns. Our girls had the spaghetti bolognaise and the other, the kids cheese burger and fries. Our starters, firstly the sticky sesame chicken (4 pieces) actually wasn’t too bad, served hot and tasted fresh. The Smokey BBQ ribs were barely warm, didn’t tasty Smokey and only received 3 pieces…. The Mango chilli prawns were infact breaded shrimp (4 pieces) with barely enough seafood for the amount of batter, tasted greasy and was disguised in a wash of watery sweet chilli sauce. The kids Spagetti bolognaise was dismissal! Not but just a spoon of bolognaise sauce and the meat was flavourless… may as well have served my daughter a Tesco spaghetti Bowl !! The other child’s Cheeseburger… my daughter commented (who’s 10) that the school dinner hamburgers tasted 10 times better. The service was decent as place was very busy for a bank holiday. Recommendation to the Boathouse management team, get a decent chef in that knows how to actually cook quality food! We were looking forward to eating here but left hugely disappointment!!

Fab food and drink with great views of the coast to accompany it. staff were friendly and attentive to our needs and there was not long to wait between ordering and recieving food. The building is visually pretty and well looked after as well.

Didn’t eat so can’t review food but seemed very busy but lovely relaxed atmosphere lovely views . Bar staff particularly Bea very friendly and sociable

Delicious food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere. The decor is suitably nautical - not necessarily genuine, museum pieces, like the Chartroom in Brixham - but enough to give the diner plenty to look at, and enough pirates to satisfy the kid in all of us.

Food was alright, atmosphere was mediocre at best but the most annoying thing we found was they stop serving food when they fancy it. Just sat out side and decided what food we wanted, went in and told they arent taking orders anymore. That was at 7:40, they say online they don't close until 8. Went home with family in toe, hungry and disappointed

Usually go here on our day trips to Dawlish Warren but won’t be going back. Meals have gradually become smaller and smaller, long waits and often one of us has finished our meal before the other has received theirs. The icecream sundaes have become smaller and smaller and today’s took about twenty minutes to come out to me ….and the glass it came in can best be described as a whisky drinks glass, not a sundae dish.Very small. Used to look forward to going in here but not anymore I’m afraid….the pasty and chips counter down the road does bigger portions and cheaper! Dogs everywhere with trailing leads and peeing whilst you’re eating a tad off putting!

Please update your website, came this morning expecting a Captains Breakfast which is two of everything to find your internal menu only has one breakfast choice and it’s one of everything. So disappointed but the food was good

Really good pub food and staff are great sat outside with a great view of the sea a d beachfront. Will def be coming back again .

Two of us had the smothered chicken, both were tasteless and tough, one had the lasagne, very dry is if over cooked, other person had chicken starter at £5.99 for 3 little pieces, said it was nice. We won't be going back.

Visited the boat house whilst on holiday, all staff were very welcoming, food was lovely and came out in a good time, the burgers are super tasty, good choice on kids menu and size meals

Excellent food and great atmosphere, dog friendly

Cannot order drinks/food using the app.

Good food but had 4 different memebers of staff come to ask if we were finished with our meals whilst we were clearly still in the middle of eating.

Lovely pub great position on the front dog friendly

Didn't eat but was a lovely place

Vert nice apart from dogs barking and owners not trying to stop this from happening

Rude staff, good pub Very bossy no manners Don't care about your custom, just bark orders at you behind the bar Would come back but be nicer

We had the steak and it was delicious the service was excellent the people who run this place has done a fantastic job training the staff highly recommend once again thankyou for making my birthday dinner memorable 10/10

Amazing gluten free breakfast. Staff were so helpful and friendly.

Food was a little rushed, and you could tell. Average prices, plenty of seating, but toilets are a letdown.

Recently visited Dawlish Warren for a week away. We booked for 8 people and our German Shepherd dog. The food was superb and they even made the dog a meal in a small doggy bowl. Absolutely loved this place, the fact they go out of there way for dogs was top marks from us👌 thank you guys, we will definitely be returning.

Thank you for making our wedding day sooo special and the food was amazing top quality and staff are equally amazing 👏

Often pop in here for drinks on our walk around the warren, nice polite friendly staff , very clean, had a spot of lunch ,fajitas , so filling , you get 5 fajita wraps with it 🙈🙈

Not a great or good selection of veggie food and kids veggie .veggie due to illness not choice. . but the food did look great , staff are friendly and pleasant . Believe it will get busy come mid April .

Excellent food at very reasonable prices.

Really good service especially from Amy who went above and beyond for me and my family couldn't ask for more

This is a popular tourist pub based right on the seafront at Dawlish Warren so location is great. We found the staff to be really helpful and friendly and the place very clean and well presented. There is a good choice of typical pub-grub and what we had was tasty and well presented & more than sufficient. Good pub-grub in a friendly environment & well worth visit.

Poor Steak once so either we stick to chicken or just go for a drink .Breakfadts are good .

Food was fantastic.just needed to be a little hotter

Would never eat here again meal was awful microwaved so much didn’t really want to eat it but didn’t want to make a fuss not cheap either would not recommend this eatery at all

We live on Dawlish and often visit the boat house.winter and Summer. Even when it gets busy, food and service remains great I know the holiday makers thoughly enjoy the place hi

Epic find!! 3 courses,4 drinks,2 people, fractionally over £60, no complaints. Food was nicely timed, delicious,faultless.

Called in after being rained off the beach, lovely open fire contributing to the warm welcoming environment. Dog friendly too

Food was excellent, service very good, beautiful pub and dog friendly.

Good place to take children to eat.

Overpriced for food that literally don’t fill u up the portion size is stupidity small for what your paying the constant bird shit on the bench’s the staff don’t come out and clear plates so the birds get to it while eating your food it’s grim avoid like the plague unless u want to spend money on not good food overpriced food and just small portions

The Boathouse Grill in Dawlish is ideally located for those looking to grab a bite after a brisk walk along the Dawlish beaches, a visit to Red Rock, or some time at Funder Park. The decor is pleasant, and the setting is inviting. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. We were disappointed with the food. I ordered the Wholetail Breaded Whitby Scampi, which was fine—though, to be fair, it’s hard to go wrong when deep-frying frozen scampi. That said, the inside was a little watery. My wife ordered the Top Deck Burger, which, according to the menu, was supposed to be a "rich flame-grilled 6oz prime burger." I can confirm it was none of those things. Well, maybe it was 6oz, but it was certainly not rich, flame-grilled, or prime. In fact, calling it a burger feels generous. What arrived (as shown in the photograph) was 'orrible—one of those grey, processed meat patties packed with wheat flour, proteins, emulsifiers, and who knows what else. Worse still, it had been deep-fried—the crust on the patty made that abundantly clear. To call this place a grill when they don’t even grill the items that should be grilled feels like a bit of a misrepresentation.

Really nice place and food was great, would go again 100%

Did a long walk n decided to stop off at this bar for tea/coffee n cakes. Went to the bar to order, quickly got served and drinks taken to our table outside. Cakes were tasty amd moist, coffee was not burnt like some coffee shops and enjoyable. will definitely go back next time we visit the area.

2 real ales. Quick tasty food. Reasonable prices. Very relaxed friendly atmosphere.

A nice friendly pub ,didnt eat there ,just a bowl of cheesy chips ,lovely big hot bowl full .

Visiting dawlish warren for a week and been to the boat house many times in this short stay and I have to say what a lovely establishment!! Very well run,clean and tidy and most importantly completely dog friendly 👏 👍 food is amazing! And staff are all pleasant and very friendly 😊 will always come to this fine pub/restaurant when Visiting dawlish warren.

A great place to hide from the cold wind and enjoy the views and a pint

Food was lovely. We didn't even finish some of our plates! Super yummy. We came in with a very and upset toddler and was welcomed. Left to take our seating and order food at the bar. Loos upstairs and down. Looks over the sea.

Lovely pub/restaurant near the sea

Nice pub lovely views but if you’re coming here for a drink and soft play don’t bother they have taken it away!

Lovely pub and restaurant. We popped in on a cold and drizzly February day and only planned to have a drink. However, the menu was varied and food looked good so we had fish and chips. The food was really good. I also took a cake home with me and I highly recommend the mars chocolate brownie.

Was going to come here for food but the price of things was VERY off putting. £7.95 for a portion of onion rings on the side. £9.95 for a toastie. £20 for an 8oz RUMP steak is unjustifiable. Aesthetically the pub looks nice but for these prices I wouldn’t recommend.

Very overpriced food and drink, especially in the units outside. I paid almost 40 pound for 4 kids chicken meals. It's hard to recognise who is staff as there uniform is not distinctive at all, however they are very kind and hard working, but too overworked I think.

Lovely food great service highly recommended

Stopped for a warm during a chilly ride and very welcoming, food fresh hot and quick and well cooked service efficient without hassling

After heading out for a quick walk we decided an impromptu lunch was in order. Having walked past The Boathouse hundreds of times over the years we never ventured in. Well, that is going to change! We enjoyed an unexpectedly lovely 'light'(?!) lunch of chips & cheesy fries (both of which were very generous portions) followed by cream tea, with possibly the best warm scones I have had (& I am partial to cream teas so that's saying something!). The guy behind the bar was friendly, welcoming and only too happy to give us the source of the scones. It will definitely be a planned part of our future walks.

Called here on a blustery January afternoon ,so out of season. But a well furnished and serviced pub providing a very wide range if drinks snd food. Speciality today was a vegetable curry soup at a very attractive price. Altogether a welcoming place to call in and relax. No doubt very much more busy in the summer ! Dogs welcome too Recommended.

One of our favourite pubs when we are in the area, friendly staff good food, good selection of drinks

Only had a couple of coffees after walking the dog on the beach, but staff were friendly and service was quick.

Dog friendly which is always a winner for me. I don't have one, but I make furry friends where possible. Out for a post Christmas walk and play in the arcades which ended with a drink to fortify us. We found a big table and sat and chatted while having a game. We took our new card game. It was lively to all sit together in the warm and cosy having a pint etc. Perfect if you have been out dog walking or with the kiddies. Most people prob pay to park for the day, so what nicer on a chilly day than to use someone else's warm and sit and have a cozy hour with a Baileys coffee ;) other alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages available

Boathouse BBQ takeaway options are poor quality with limited options actually available. Do not recommend.

The usual Boathouse but more hygienic a good experience

We visited today and also a few days ago. The customer service was excellent on both occasions. The first time we were offered some warm chips for the baby girl in the party, who was eating some which had gone cold. Today we ordered an ice cream which had sauce which Frankie didn't like. Jackie was brilliant and changed the ice cream twice to get it right. Thank you so much the service during the festive period, when it has been very busy, has been exceptional. The food was great too...thank you

Staff were polite and helpful. Asked for a table for 2 and was taken to one straight away. Pub was quiet as it was morning, and the weather was awful. It was chucking it down with rain. No breakfast choice..full english and that's it..food items were nice, but you don't get much for the price unfortunately..just shy of £11.00 each. 1 portion mushrooms ,( i had 4 button mushroom), 1 sausage, 1 bacon, 1 egg, portion of baked beans, 1 slice of toast, 1 hashbrown....tea/coffee/juice extra as they're not included.

Christmas decorations where superb so a lovely place to meet

Poor service waiting to order hot drinks totally ignored by staff, too many windows to order from not enough staff. Stood waiting to order then staff serving at any window in no order. Eventually when they see you are waiting told we aren’t doing that drink you want to order! We’ll cover over on your sign then! 15 minutes wasting our time! Off we go elsewhere!

Fine if you like dogs! Recently had a family Christmas meal here. Couldn't believe the amount of dogs that were in a pub/restaurant! Definitely wont be coming here again for that reason alone - absolutely disgusting that they are allowed everywhere within. At least keep a corner for these dog people only!

Lovely decoration for christmas.sea views

Great afternoon with family, the grandchildren loved ‘the best Father Christmas 2024’ complemented by some great free gifts! Thanks to the Boathouse and Father Christmas, your establishment just keeps getting better year on year!

Really great pub very cosy and really friendly staff ,we were made to feel very welcome ,cake was amazing too 👏👏👏👏👏

Loved it! Great atmosphere, great food, quick service and very dog friendly.

Food is good. Considering the size of the place and the play area upstairs, it would be nice if they could keep screaching kids out of the bar area.

Friendly welcome great beer lobely setting perfect place for a drink or food

Love this place , great food , great service and great location!

Great place to be in. Friendly staff. Good food. Pet friendly(our cat loved the place!)

Great fun always had at funder park. Cheap fun rides and something for all the family.

We didn't have food but the coffee was really tasty and hit the spot after a bracing walk. Friendly staff and a cosy place with comfortable seating.

Overall good experience, food was of a good standard, service was ok. Ordering at the bar could be improved, but all in all a pleasant lunchtime snack and we'll deserved sit down.

Very poor food ordered three steaks all asked to be cooked differently all was presented and it was like trying to eat a leather boot

A nice trip down memory lane to get here! Only coffee ☕️ and a beer this time, but the menu looked extensive and reasonably priced.

Appalled. Visited with my family and they were playing explicit music at 4pm in the afternoon of half-term weekend. Spoke to manager. Who insisted it was a one off error. 15 minutes later playing again.

Great place for coffee and cake 🎂

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.

Used this pub and restaurant a couple of times whilst staying in Dawlish enjoyed both occasions food was excellent and great value with a nice atmosphere.

Had a table booked, but when we arrived it was all shut. No warning from the venue, all there was was the booking confirmation by E-Mail!

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

This is a great pub and very welcoming. The food and service was excellent. We have a very large dog and there was no issue taking him in. Would love to visit in the warmer weather.

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.

Both staff and food we're very nice x

Lovely food overlooking the sea. Service was quick and a nice selection of the menu

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.

A busy pub and restaurant with excellent food and drink on offer. Staff are very friendly.

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.
