The Boathouse Pub Restaurant in Tewkesbury - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had Sunday lunch, beef with freshly prepared Yorkshire, sausage, stuffing, cauliflower cheese, roast potatoes and fresh veg…wonderful! Service very friendly and best Sunday lunch in a long time. Definitely recommended

Had a lovely lunch. Great selection, not run of the mill. Wish we lived closer so we could visit on a regular basis.

Top Quality Roast!!!! Great hosts, amazing service, lovely staff!

Lovely views, very friendly staff & good food for a surprisingly reasonable price

Very nice staff are great the atmosphere of the building is very calm would highly recomend

Meg and daws make an awesome team food and service is great 😃👍

Superb food and a great selection of wine's. Fantastic atmosphere for family's. Outstanding views of surrounding countryside and overlooking the river Avon. Staff great. Outside tables and chairs, benches etc. large spacious parking area which is a bonus because parking is very limited in Tewkesbury. Brilliant.

Amazing Sunday lunch for your first day of serving Sunday lunch.

It's not from The Boathouse pub , is from my neighbour. We live by the river close to the boathouse . This part is scottish Burns Night..

Incredible place, stunning view and great food. A must visit for anyone around the area.

Delightful experience on the water.

Really nice bar. Great views of the river and canal. Nice tasty food, good service, nice friendly atmosphere. Plenty of parking, and seating in and out, couldn't see a lift so maybe not wheelchair friendly. Best to call. 5 minutes walk to centre of Tewkesbury.

Lovely pub with lovely views great food and friendly bar staff

Came in Tuesday early evening on way home from work. Greeted by landlord and served a very nice pale ale followed by a hearty plate of fish and chips. Reasonably priced. Lovely place to stop off. Thank you

Hello Our dining experience at this restaurant was truly outstanding. The cozy ambiance, diverse menu, delicious food, and attentive service made it a special evening. We can't wait to return and explore more of their culinary delights. Highly recommended.

Excellent food Sunday roast would Highley recommend a visit

Dropped in for a meal on our last day of our holiday in Tewksbury. Had a nice experience with interesting surroundings, friendly and helpful bar staff and good food, served quickly, despite the chef being on his own and having to fulfil many orders. Nice ales too. Recommended.

Great value food , HUGE salad bowls and really friendly service from gent and young lady behind bar , lovely

Food was OK, could do with a refurb ,great if you were sat outside facing the river not so much if you were looking at the building.

Stopped off here in our way home. Lovely setting by the river. Food was really nice - we had the chicken & bacon salads - very affordable and the staff were attentive and friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Sunday lunch for two £20. Highly recommended

Great beer garden by the water (especially on a Friday afternoon!) - but a long way upstairs to bar

Really nice restaurant. Good food at reasonable prices. And they do proper/real chilli sauce. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very nice views over the river and locks.

Very welcoming and accommodating reception from the bar, willingness to accommodate awkward dietary requirements that aren't allergy related. Visited at five pm on an overcast and chilly summers day. It was relatively quiet but the surroundings and views in the tranquil setting along the river overlooking the weir and lock drew us away from the town. The parking was ample (weather affecting trade may have been on our side). A small menu selection of well chosen options not generic wholesale offerings and varied choice of flavour and side dishes. Not a large chain menu with pages upon pages of options but enough of a range of choices well selected to make choosing a battle. The varied simple menu led to a choice of the venison burger or lamb shank for myself and lasagna or pulled pork with eastern salad for my partner............ That's where I get complicated as I have a pre diabetic diet of basically low carb no sugar. The bar staff were absolutely understanding, not a single huff, sigh or eye roll and the kitchen specially adapted to my requirements. Evidence and final proof was in the meal served completely tailor made perfectly adapted to suit. My partner folded and went with lasagna. We work in the industry and are fully aware of supplier ping ding lasagna is a very easy and cheap meal option most places stock so we rarely opt for it. On this occasion the lasagna was clearly not a brakes or bidfoods microwave option and was served piping hot topped with various cheeses and a quality Béchamel sauce. Quick, efficient and attentive service in a comfortable and clean dining area. Layout was designed to enhance the setting outside over looking the lock and docks on the Avon without overcrowding tables and sacrificing "elbow room". Overall the combination of setting, choices and meal served was a perfect experience not of fine dining but correctly priced quality food in an amazing setting.

Great location. More staff behind the bar would have prevented the long queues on the day.

Wonderful location, only had a drink here, but the food looked excellent. Definitely going back and have a meal. The staff were very friendly.

First time here. Beautiful place, amazing food and very professional service and allows dogs so absolute bonus thank you Lewis We shall be back

A great pub run by really friendly staff. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced (as was the beer!). And we had a brilliant view of the river.

Lovely visit recently for family gathering. 8 of us accommodated easily. Good food and service. Good value. Too full for pud unfortunately! Leftovers nicely packaged. Nice surroundings and views over river. If weather nicer would have sat outside. Friendly and efficient manager and chef. Nothing too much bother. Thanks for very pleasant lunch. Thought would have been great venue for private function.

Brilliant when we lived in Tewkesbury 5 years ago and brilliant now. The new manager is superb.

Good solid 4 from me. Good views across the weir and outdoor seating available.

Lovely food, good value for money, outstanding customer service, highly recommended.

We were in Tewkesbury looking for somewhere to eat on Google it says this place is open until 9pm on a Sunday it isn't it was closed when we arrived and we ended eating somewhere else, it was disappointing that we couldn't try out the Boathouse after reading all the lovely comments.

This place is CLOSED! ignore what the site says. No one answers the phone or email, I turned up on the off chance today for lunch and it wasn't open or even looking close to maybe wanting to be open!

Would have been nice to visit if it had been opened. Suggest you edit your opening times and do not disappoint potential customers.

This was my first visit to the Boathouse, and I was so impressed! It was a beautiful day, and sunny, so we sat overlooking the river 🥰 Stunning views! The food was also outstanding 😁 We will definitely visit if we are in the area again 😀

What a view 👍. Lovely friendly staff and decent ale (Tribute)

Beautiful setting by the river with amazing food

Unfortunately my 1st negative review, here goes..... whilst they won't get done by trading standards for what the menu says, they won't win any Michelin stars, no chef, trained would put his name to what was served up, considering the time it took to come, the waitress didn't help by getting drinks order wrong, I do hate negative reviews but they deserved it

Lovely food. Waitress staff amazing.

An excellent place to visit with nice views. The food was extremely nice and not over priced and the staff are pleasant too. We would gladly visit there again...

The boathouse. You read all the reviews and get interested and go for Sunday lunch. Don't be fooled by reviews. The building is tired. The windows need painting. The beaches outside are worn out with chuncks missing and when the food arrives.. We ordered the trio carvery. One skinny chicken leg. One pork loin slice and one chunk of beef. Three offerings of sauce sat side by side on the plate. The good thing was. The veg came out hot.. Blue sheets hanging to guard against any weather miss hap. But give the place a chance. It does say it's under new management. So they have a chance to improve

Great service lovely scenery, overlooking Tewkesbury Marina was acknowledged as soon as we walked into beer garden, order taken and drinks brought to us. We didn't have food but other were eating and it all looked lovely

Interesting menu, helpful staff. I didn't expect to be sitting inside scaffolding and plastic sheets, but it worked very well, with effective and attractive heaters

Goog food had Moroccan lamb, salmon blood good Poor vegetarian/ vegan options only burger/salad options

Lovely Riverside location. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful ndbthe Meal was really good. The beer garden was pleasant and big. We didn't go inside, so this is all about what we experienced. The car park is well lid out and sufficient. It needs a touch of maintenance to make it feel better and then it would get 5 stars.

Nice staff, food great. Hot drinks ok

Nice view by the river. poor waiting skills, terrible customer service. We waited almost 2 hours and the food we received should not have left the kitchen. Wetherspoons would have been a better choice

Only had drinks, the service was fab and the view was great especially on a hot summer's day, loads of tables with umbrellas if you want shade.

Had a lovely lunch. Dog friendly. Great service

Great views, lovely food and great service. Very dog friendly too

Only hat a drink at this pub , but can say it is friendly and in a great location with lots of outdoor seating next to the marina

Absolutely breathtaking place .. service excellence. Highly Recommended

Great location and good food at reasonable prices

Popped in for a drink. Staff very friendly. Menu looked good but didn't eat there.

Fantastic by the Water. Service good , got my chips but had to find my pint of coke!

Cracking place by the river. Really friendly staff and great service and great food.!

Don't be put off by the look of the place. The food is great and an interesting menu. Well worth a visit Lovely view over the weir and marina

Has to be one of the best homemade burgers I've had in the UK 👌👌

Good choice of menu - a refreshing change to the usual 'pub grub'. The quality and presentation of the food was excellent. Definitely recommend and we'll be back?

Don't be put off by appearances!! Food was great, lovely outside sitting area.

Building undergoing refurbishment. Good menu choice and reasonably priced. Pleasant water frontage with outside seating. Good service.

Beautiful to sit in the garden overlooking the marina and river, good food too.

We have only been a couple of times for a drink but its one of the nicest places to sit outside with a drink. The staff are very friendly.

Lovley scenery great table service

One of the best pubs in Tewkesbury, food is decent and great views in the garden.

No decent real ales. Drinks more pricey than other watering holes in the area. Table service a bit lacking staff standing around talking, not as good a place as it used to be unfortunately. Positives are the wonderful setting by the river and some exceptional live music on a Sunday. Worth a visit when the weather is good and you can sit outside.

This is the second time I’ve visited in the past two weeks and I have to say I am impressed! It’s very rare to walk into a pub where you are immediately greeted by friendly staff and offered drinks/table service. The staff are personable, engaging and take an interest. Food is also fantastic! Would highly recommend and will be back! Thank you 🙂

Lovely setting by the river, great food and friendly staff, perfect relaxing end to a day off work 👍

What a great find,right on the river, staff were ever so friendly and table service so didn’t budge all afternoon. Meals first class and the morretti was ice cold Lovely chilled out vibe

The website showed 2 for the price of 1 on cocktails every Friday from 4 till 7 as ‘Happy Hour’. Got there and was told they couldn’t do cocktails as they hadn’t got the stuff in. Sat indoors as it was a bit nippy. It looked a complete dive. We had intended to eat there and have a few cocktails but it was so grim we decided to leave. Disabled toilet disgusting. Don’t know how this place has got good reviews!

Read old as in 3 years ago review that outside needed cleaning still very true I thought they had maybe only just taken it over but please go buy a brush and clean up. Had Sunday dinner it was acceptable as in just warm on a cold day sat under the pub and the cauliflower cheese was sloppy. It could be a fantastic place if it was cleaned up.

Very relaxed Riverside eating with good food

Excellent Riverside pub. All staff are very friendly..... Nice change these days! There was a live singer on a Sunday afternoon and that just added to the atmosphere. Very dog friendly, as soon as they seen you had a dog the waitress brought over a bowl of water. Food was excellent. Good all round place to be.

Beer for me. Coke for the Mrs. Only £5.60. Bargain.

No coffee except filter. Toilets not suitable for disabled people

Fabulous food great service and excellent quality good value I would recommend this if you are in Tewkesbury

I love sitting here and watching the Swans and ducks 🦆 on the river the boathouse is lovely and you can walk beside it, there is a path that goes by the river, It's so quiet and peaceful, you can bring a picnic or bbq as there are tables, bring canoe or dingy and drift to other side and go to the pub

The food was excellent, sat semi outside as think they're refurbishing, staff friendly

Nice place, plenty space to sit in and outside. Friendly staff

Food was excellent I had the pizza burger and I highly recommend, we had a wait for food but the owners were so good with us , the setting and atmosphere was great

Beautiful place to have a drink by the river. Friendly staff. Lovely real coffee.

We love this place! The food quality is exceptional 👌, the staff are super friendly & knowledgeable & very dog friendly. We sat outside last night & as soon as the waitress noticed the dogs she brought a bowl of water over for them. There are plenty of vegetarian choices on the menu & the food is very fresh. We can't wait to come back soon! Thank you for a lovely evening.

We ate outside as the inside was closed. Food OK and staff friendly but it wasn't really conducive to outside dining as it was a bit like being in a partially enclosed car park surrounded by concrete pillars.

Friendly staff serving beautifull unique meals. What a great place to drink, eat and relax. The mulled wine went down a treat. The burger was really moreish and the seafood dishes were perfectly cooked and delightfully light and filling. Superb restaurant!

Dissapointing meal, like warm and a bit expensive for what it was, don't think I will return as there are plenty of other places locally

Terrible Terrible won't ever go again Sunday lunch beef burnt and Yorkshire rock hard and burnt

Really enjoyed it here. Lovely staff very friendly and helpful. Food excellent and good atmosphere.

Really beautiful place which was a lovely surprise. Staff were very attentive, food was delicious. Nice view, but obscured by some work.

The setting was lovely overlooking River, the food was OK not fabulous didn't have a full menu, it was easier them telling us what they had. All tables are outside and a few under a tent for when is rains. Was quite expensive for what we got.

Excellent friendly and attentive servicr with great, tasty food. Will definitely visit again, when back in the area.

Service was really good. Food also lovely. Building a bit tired

First visit very welcoming friendly staff good choice of food thank you.

I can only give it a four on what I saw outside. I didn't go into the building. I thought the outside space had been utilised well since my last visit about 2.5 years ago.

Wow what a little treasure of a place. Superb prompt service, beautiful location. Menu and food to die for at very reasonable prices. Can defo recommend and will be back. Well done the boathouse staff and Thankyou for giving us a lovely evening.

Would of been great in its hey day great location

Poor food, poor ale selection, very tatty building, great location. Been to worse, but there are many better places nearby.

Staff excellent. Table service good. Just had Sunday lunch. It turned up before we had cutely. Then veg came , no serving spoons , had to use own table folk. So I got cauliflower cheese on the please and carrots (my husband does not like cauliflower cheese). Both new and roast potato needed a hack saw to cut the skins. Formage cream and cranberry came with roast beef and chicken not in a separate dish so one had a choice . It was on the dinner plate. Whole place in need of a refurb Restaurant closed so a choice of sitting out in midday sun. Or marquee or what looked like a garage or boat shed underneath main building.

I have thoroughly been put off any future festivals hosted by lakefest or the boathouse. £6 for the thinnest "jerk" burger ever with a stale bun, thanks.... Not to forget it was cooked with the plastic on and then served to me in a bun STILL with the plastic on, thanks again..... £5.50 for a pint of Amstel when the venue is hosted by a pub is ridiculous and for the fact 3 hours spent there were covered by a band for about 1 hour with just music being played (which kept stopping) multiple times. Not to mention the mess up with your flyers. Very very disappointed.

Having enjoyed the lovely outside in the sun today with my daughter. Sadly cant say the food was as good. I had the beef sirloin roast dinner. With roast potatoes, which were too hard to cut into. Beef again struggled to cut. Into.Yorkshire pudding was burnt. Left so much food . Told the lady who took our plates & she just said ok ??? Cannot recommend due to my experience on this my first visit.
