The Boathouse Cafe Bar in Cheshire West and Chester

No jacket potatoes, no tosties, no filter coffee and no change! But there’s a £12.50 vegan breakfast!!!!

Went here for a boat hire. Staff lovely but the menu is a bit pricey for what you get, it's £7.50 for a sausage and egg bap. Nice views and a good day out.

Food is great and sensibly priced. Not so impressed with the cake but coffee is very good. Service is brilliant and served to table. Very friendly. Highly recommend

Nice place by the marina. Indoor and outdoor seating. Pleasant views. Good food at a sensible price. Loads of free parking. Friendly service.

Lovely setting in the Marina on the canal. You also have to drive past the ice cream place also.

First visit here friendly welcome food and tea perfect will return

Nice place for a relaxing coffee looking out onto the canal boats. Modern, clean and unique. We only had a coffee but the good looked good

Food and coffee were great but there was only one poor lad providing service for mist of the time we were there....long wait for a simple order. I'm sure normally it would be fine.

Friendly Staff, Great Place, Good Atmosphere

Lovely breakfast, fantastic setting.

It was the biggest mushroom I've ever encountered. Breakfast is well cooked, and the whole breakfast was 100% ,

My Favourite breakfast place also San Miguel on draught perfect!

Beautiful place lovely coffee and breakfast

Friendly but a little bit slow despite it being empty. Definitely worth visiting though.

Fantastic place for breakfast, highly recommend it. Lovely setting as well.

Fabulous location, good menu, fair prices. Check opening days it has been restricted occasionally (winter?)

Great little place for a visit. It is geared up for the canalies so has lots of facilities. Well worth finding where it is. I am not telling!

Great cafe/bar. Don’t tell anybody else it’s very popular 👍

Place was really busy. Came in for cake and a coffee

Great breakfast, good service, nice surroundings

Called in twice for breakfast. First rate food and service. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Long wait for coffee. Heard management complaining loudly that someone had left without paying. Not a great atmosphere will not go again.

Visited here on 16th July. We had the most amazing fruit scones with jam and cream, by far the best we have had in a long while! Would highly recommend visiting here. Staff very friendly and polite.

Visited on the way to our holiday cottage. All I can say is what a fantastic breakfast they serve. Thought I might need a doggy bag when I so I arrive. Lovely friendly staff. Also enjoyed a lovely walk around the marina.

Oh my days... These cakes are unbelievable as was the breakfast service was great only downside queuing for toilets but it wouldn't put me off... Have a scone 👌

Service was confusing as they didn’t know what was available. They got the drinks order wrong and we had to wait an age for the food. The young girls serving were very friendly though. The chef then decided to come out and shout at us for not letting her know we were coming as it was approaching lunchtime and told us to let her know in future. There won’t be a future as we won’t be returning. Well done Chef

Amazingly good coffee and great location right on the canal

It was a wet and very windy day but once we had sussed out how to get through the marina security barrier we had a great hour at the cafe. The owner/manager couldn't have been more helpful. I had the best pecan pie I've ever had and the carrot cake that my friends had was top notch. We will certainly be returning - hopefully on a day with better weather so we appreciate the surroundings better.

Great wee place Tae take the dugs

The Boathouse is a fabulous restaurant for great meals and drinks or just coffee and cakes. Open to the public and boaters moored on the marina.

Great place, brilliant staff, will be going back again very soon.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, views of the water, boats & hills. Good good and friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, will be retuning soon hopefully.

Lovely place, such pleasant staff.will definitely go back.

Was very noisy - no soft surfaces in the room. A bit crowded if someone uses a cane or wheelchair. Food was fine. Service was a bit indifferent.

Daytime is a bit hit and miss with staff knowledge!? However the staff on the Friday evening were very helpful and the cooked meal was just very tasty - chicken burger and a steak pie.

Friendly service, definitely recommend

Cycled here and found the service very good, the man serving was very jovial and pleasant

Forgot to put our food order through after waiting nearly an hour ! Shame as lovely cafe and the food looked good

Incredible little cafe on the water! Our party had the pea and ham soup, bacon bap, cheese pie, bacon, Brie and cranberry panini, as well as the walnut and coffee cake - all of them homemade and DELICIOUS!! The sort of quality here is better than most other places you’d find in the centre of Chester or elsewhere that would likely charge you 3 times the price! If you’re nearby then this is definitely the place to come for breakfast, lunch, or a quick coffee and a cake.
