The Boathouse Inn in Bradford

Nice pub in the riverside plenty of indoor and outdoor seating

Food is absolutely delicious and Angela is always welcoming

Lovely location and good service but food was disappointing. Burger was average but chips were tasteless and undercooked , vegetarian enchiladas were clearly frozen and then heated which made them dry and hard, the filling was OK. Why do staff ask you how your food is and then look disappointed when you tell them it wasn’t good. No offer to replace / refund. Wouldn’t return

The sticky toffee pudding is to die for ...

We are regular visitors here as live locally. Came in for Sunday lunch today. At 5pm we were told there’s only chicken left. We accepted this and ordered. They take the money as you order. Waited about 25 mins which was ok but the food was terrible this time unfortunately. Every single item (meat, roasts and Yorkshire) was overcooked. All I could taste was charcoal burnt taste. Staff don’t act bothered. Nobody asks if everything is ok. Not good service to be honest and food really disappointing. Wouldn’t eat here again. Especially Sunday roast.

The sticky toffee pudding was terrific. It's worth coming here for that alone.

Brilliant place very efficient friendly staff !!!

Came here on a late Saturday afternoon. Had the soup and a salad. Both were delicious.

We had lunch reservation for 16 people on Saturday 28th September. The staff were welcoming, the food and drinks served quickly nothing was a problem. Well done The Boat House.

Lovely riverside establishment, great food, service and really accommodating (was able to fit 17 of us in for lunch and managed to get everything to us we ordered with perfect timing, highly recommend for a quick drink/refreshments or if you are looking for good food!

Riverside restaurant with a beautiful view of the river

A great bar with a wonderful view.

Called in yesterday ordered 2 pints of beer they charge £13 ,that's a complete rip off he food is extortionate I won't be going back

Really busy bar /restaurant- good service nice riverside location !!!

A gem of a place ! Lovely food ! Polite service and great location !

A really nice pub with great view on the river. I loved the fact you could sit under the tree shade, inside or stand by the river. Great coffee! I was a bit sceptical, but was amazed with the coffee Josh made :)

Cozy upscale pub on the Aire River located between the river and the canal, and just across from Salts mill in Saltaire. They have a variety of seating, indoor and patio areas, all with a great view of Roberts park. An excellent place for a romantic date or a casual business meet up. Fabulous desserts...

A little more expensive than pub food but very good quality and ample portions. Also lovely location. We had never before but would definitely return.

Lovely setting next to Canal, great choice of drinks.. Great views.. Friendly atmosphere.. Well worth a stop.. Food looked really nice, although we didn't eat..

Very friendly pub/restaurant by the river Aire, with pleasant views, good service, diverse menu. You can choose traditional English, pizzas, traditional Punjabi! We chose the curries and enjoyed them. Nice to be able to have our dogs with us. We were made very welcome.

Good pint of Timothy Taylors Landlord.🍺🍺🍺

Lucky for me I live just a stones throw away from The Boathouse. My visit was on the August Bank Holiday Monday 2024. Not only was it lovely to catch up with my partners brother. But to look out over the river Aire @Roberts Park whilst Saltaire Cricket Club played a cricket match on the very same Park. What's my point am I getting of the point of reviewing The Boat house experience that I had on that day. I guess if I was to bullet point this experience in order to try and get to the point as it were. 1 friendly staff 2 lovely pint well two pints Saltaire Blonde 3 quality food Pie N Peas 4 idyllic location 5 I will be visiting The Bathhouse again 6 I recommend that if you have not frequented The Bathhouse before put it on your list of pubs to visit

Pub/ bar overlooking the river Aire, a few local cask ales and the usual larges. In a nice setting with outdoor area . Worth a look.

Very great food fresh love it!!!

Great pub, dog friendly and very reasonably priced and tasty food

Overpriced very few customers £6 for a pint what a joke!

Always enjoy the Boathouse. The food is lovely and the staff are kind and friendly. We've visited twice now for family events and really appreciate the food and the space to enjoy our family get togethers.

Sat outside, order seemed to be taking a while. Went inside to check and it had been ready some time ago and they hadn't bothered to bring it out. Food ordered was GF and DF, when it came out it was incorrect and was covered in cheese. Advise caution visiting here if you have allergies. Kitchen staff said they thought Dairy-Free meant no eggs!!

Only stopped for a coffee but other people had food & it looked good. Nice view

What a gem of a restaurant on our visit to Saltaire- very friendly staff and the food was delicious. We went for the curries as recommended by the waitress and we even had the chef explaining how he made them - they certainly didn’t disappoint.

lovely atmosphere, welcoming friendly helpful staff, delicious food, value for money and look forward to seeing you again very soon.

A group of 11 of us all had a main course and there was not one complaint.

Lovely on a summers evening pints are a little expensive but worth it for the views on an evening 😊

Another beautiful tranquil place to have a drink instead or outside with wonderful food

Lovely setting outside however the drinks are quite expensive

A group of us had been to Salts Mill then to The Boathouse Inn for lunch. Very good menu. No parking as it's near the canal.

I have worked in Saltaire for 23 years and I am ashamed to say that my first visit to the Boathouse was last Friday. It absolutely won't be my last visit. The food was absolutely lovely, between the four of us I had a chargrilled chicken caeser salad, friends had chilli and rice and enormous pizzas (they were given boxes to take the rest home - you need a big appetite!). The lovely young waitress made sure that everything was fine for us and was so friendly and welcoming. See you Friday coming

Food was alright for pub food. Staff are pleasant and good service. A nice place to drink by the river with views of the park.

A great place to meet someone for the first time.. and a great place to meet someone for the best time..

Little pricey but always good food. Beautiful view of the river

Really good roast dinner. Finally somewhere that does proper thick gravy.

Friendly atmosphere, pleasant staff and good service

Punching way above it's weight, this was a lovely pub. It has a local pub feel but the food and beer are great, easily standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the gastro pubs of Leeds. The pie I had seems home made and the beer was lovely, with great table service. We will certainly be coming again.

Excellent food, staff and chilled

Called in for lunch, as it’s dog friendly. The guy taking the orders was friendly and helpful throughout. The drink prices are normal, definitely average for the area. The food was delicious, cooked well, good portions and not expensive. Recommended if you’re in Saltaire and need a place to eat/drink, right next to the river and canal.

Great place to eat with lovely views of the river and its wildlife. Excellent food and very good value. Highly recommended 👌

It was a little bit cold so bi folding door not open on to the riverside so no real atmosphere. Just a lot of noise and the decor doesn't give ant reference to being nautical quite bland really 🤔 .

Great food, overlooking the river and park - lovely views

Security guard was rude and wouldnt let my daughter use the toilet when i was sat outside waiting for my drinks🤬.

Favourite spot at the end of nice walk around the park/canal/river

This recently refurbished traditional pub and restaurant is located in Saltaire between the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and River Aire. It offers lovely views across the river to Roberts Park. The saff are friendly and helpful and the quality of the food and drink are excellent.

Very expensive beer and cider. Rosie rhubarb cider £6 a pint!! Best get Saltaire Blonde £4.60

Excellent service, great food, and staff were all lovely and very helpful 👌🏽 😊

Came down 2 nights ago about 7.45pm to have a meal,got told they had stopped serving food 5 mins ago,its advertised food served till 8.pm,was very disappointed,no reason from staff why there was no food and staff were not very friendly,here on holiday and wont be back

Nice family restaurant. Food was good. The views and outside area is amazing. Had a hen do meal there

Amazing steak pie proper home cooked food delicious 😋

Lovely food in a lovely setting

Expensive drinks. £8 more here for 4 drinks than we paid in any pub all weekend. Sat outside on a lovely hot sunny day but due to the shade of the trees it was really cold. Dirty tables full of empty glasses and bottles. Not for me.

Good food good service and a good atmosphere and good surroundings

Good beer, Wetherspoons level food. Fish was 90% overdone batter, spam fritters were soggy, chips were ok. Overdone dried out veg, cheese and onion pie was ok, good pastry.

We loved the Boathouse Inn - excellent food, large servings, nice view of the canal and park, gracious service (thank you, Alison!).

Excellent food and staff. Very nice location next to Robert and very picturesque. Would deffo recommend booking in advance to ensure you aren't disappointed.

Visited here on a holiday to the Yorkshire Dales. Wonderful location, friendly staff, great welcome, and great service.

We hadn't booked but 8 of us had lunch here. All meals arrived together and we all really enjoyed all our food. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient and we agreed we were all impressed. I would definitely recommend this riverside pub which also has outdoor seating.

Lovely food, dog friendly and great servic3

Took over 15 minutes to get served at the bar with 3 people queuing, then proceeded to wait 45 minutes to an hour for some cheesy fries and halloumi fries, poor selection of lager bottles available also. Wouldn't say the place was overly busy when we arrived considering they had 3/4 members of staff on the bar and at least 2 other staff members collecting glasses/walking around. When he finally brought the food over, he said that he didn't write our number down which is why our food took so long but never apologised just said thank god that he found us. The menu is very basic and really poor service pretty much self service as you have to go back inside to get your own cutlery etc and dispose of your own food etc. Whilst we were sat down outside we heard multiple people complaining and by the time we'd received our food, a guy on the next table was complaining about there not being service outside anymore to which an older staff member replied that it's busy and told them that they now couldn't have food at all outside. Rude staff, food wasn't anything spectacular for the prices, poor service and atmosphere wasn't great, Won't be returning.

It's £6.50 for a pint of Moretti and attracts the kind of crowd that thinks queuing single file at the bar is the correct way to do things.

Really nice restaurant on the banks of the river overlooking Roberts park. Good to relax after a walk or bike along the canal, with loads of seating and outdoor space.

V nice place and service - right by Aire

Lively inn overlooking River. Very helpful and efficient staff, reasonable prices. Definitely will get returned visit.

Nice little place down near the river, found while visiting saltaire for the first time. Food is great with lots of choices,prices pretty decent too Friendly helpful staff Will be going again

Highly recommend the burger and fries meal here. The fries were beyond divine. The staff are friendly and helpful, there's a gorgeous view from the waterside tables and the place itself is very comfortable. Will definitely return.

Lovely riverside pub. Small stand-up area outside. Think its walking access only as within Saltaire model village

First time at this place. Nice food, we will be back at some point. 3 of us are vegans

Stunning, didn't sample the food but great choice of beer and my wife loves the hot chocolate.

Really delicious ham pie and chips, excellent service and lovely views.

Last time I was there it was smelly and I got flea bites

Perfect table overlooking the river/park, attentive waiting staff, great pint of Saltaire Blonde, fabulous meal - starters & mains. We loved it all

Amazing homemade chicken, ham and leek pie, chips, veg and gravy. Such good value at £13. Would definitely recommend. Fabulous table overlooking the River.

Superb location on the riverside. Very clean a bit expensive

First time I have been there. A good place to eat with friends or just a couple. Also a place to relax and chat. Loved it. Definitely go again.

This pub has been my "local" for over a year now and I love it. George and all the staff at endlessly friendly, the steak pie is the best I've ever had and the location/Outlook onto the river is gorgeous. Best option in Saltaire....

Absolutely amazing stunning view food amazing and excellent atmosphere very friendly staff and service excellent quality

Great food, the Confit Duck Salad and pies are to die for, good selection of ales and amazing views of the river.

Good pub always clean and friendly with a good choice of beers

Great place to visit after a trip around Roberts Park

Very friendly waitress and food good

Wonderful setting and some great ales. Pricey but so is everywhere else. Food is decent and an interesting pub grub menu.

Just returned home from Boathouse after having family meal. Excellent food and service. Sunday roast was superb, huge Yorkshire's. Fish and chips excellent, fish was so fresh, even the child portion. My granddaughter gave chocolate brownies 5 stars! Overall everything was spot on, we were well looked after, food was so good. Highly recommend the boathouse.

Dog and i was out for a walk. Called in for a note cap. The staff welcomed us both

Friendly helpful staff, good atmosphere 👌

Ordered the roast beef sandwich which came with fries and horrible, cheap shop bought coleslaw. I was amazed when the sandwich arrived it wasn’t cooked beef from a joint, but cheap thin tasteless slices you get from a pack, awful.

Went for Valentine's, couldn't have been better. Food great, staff better

We have visited Saltaire on many occasions but never eaten here before. Mistake!! A nice welcome, food freshly made and a lovely view of the river. Enjoyed it and that’s the reason to return isn’t it??

Food was good, I had a beef and horse raddish sandwich. Just too much horseraddish sauce for me, but it was homemade and yum.

Visited the Boathouse inn restaraunt in Saltaire recently for the first time in January 2024 with my Husband and Father. Lovely setting by a river with outside seating area for food & Drinks, will be perfect in the warmer months. We sat inside at a table by the window with a pleasant view of the River Aire, cosy atmosphere,Staff were attentive and friendly. We chose 2 Sunday roast dinners and 1 chicken & Leek Pie with chips & Peas.. We ordered 2 roast Pork dinners but received 2 Beef dinners.. couldn't be bothered to ask to change them, Beef isn't my favourite meat and was a bit fatty, vegetables seemed to be frozen not fresh.. Roast potatoes were OK.. a lovely Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Didn't have desserts as we were too full. Drinks average price. Unfortunately there isn't a Carpark so my 86 year old father and myself walked inside first to our booked table whilst my husband parked the car on the road..wasn't too far from the restaurant. Will visit again.

Gorgeous view of Roberts Park and the river. Absolutely stunning Food amazing Service was fantastic

Had loaded fries with cheese £5, I added chilli for an extra £1. Glass of soda water £1. Large portion very nice only downside was it was a bit dry even with the chilli on top.

Super dog and child friendly, great spot by the river. I think it might be under new ownership as much nicer than previously. Great value menu and generous portions.

Food was excellent quality for me and my partner absolutely beautiful and great value for money
