Great service, great food in the Boat house . I had the BBQ Beef ciabatta with montary jack cheese and pickles and a side of chips. All washed down with a Port pilsner. If in Porthscatho it’s a must visit. Real value for money.

Fabulous find. We have a coeliac daughter who was delighted to find knowledgeable staff who were able to talk about what is and isn't gluten free. Separate chip fryer meant gluten free chips went down very well. For all of us the staff were helpful and friendly, the restaurant has a nice relaxed vibe but not noisy. We had a lovely meal and would highly recommend!

We had eaten at the boathouse a few years ago and our visits this weekend has confirmed you're unlikely to get a poor meal or service here. My wife and I had the seafood curry which was fantastic. The service was top notch and the prices are very reasonable. It was so good we went back the following morning for breakfast which was also top notch. I recommend it very highly.

Sat in the pagoda outside and was nicely sheltered even though the weather wasn't great. Me and the Mrs had the scallops from the specials board, and it may be the best £12 I've ever spent they were absolutely beautiful. The youngest son had a childrens scampi and chips, and he absolutely wolfed the lot and a perfect portion for a very hungry 6 year old. Everything home made and the chips were first class. The eldest son had an adult fish and chips, and he polished it all off. The fish was as fresh as a daisy, and the batter was crispy as you like. Service was swift and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend this place. 👌5⭐️

Great place and ideally located in the centre of the village. The food is freshly prepared and really tasty, I had a prawn sandwich with chips and my partner had a halloumi wrap with chips that came out lovely and hot”. Marvellous service here and well worth a visit when in Porthscatho. They also do marvellous ice creams too. Drinks wise we tried a pilsner lager from St Ives. Definitely worth visiting and highly recommended.

All staff were most unwelcoming and unfriendly. Food was ok but on a wet windy Cornish day you would think a bowl of hot tasty soup might be on the specials list if not on the Summer menu. The pate could have done with some sort of garnish even a few salad leaves .

Cake & ice cream lovely, service slow & staff very quick to tidy up to the point of inconveniencing you/expecting you to move out the way when you're not quite finished. Price reasonable for location. Tables & chairs weren't very clean. Wouldn't rush back.

If you want value for money, good portions of real local tasty food, served by really friendly staff. Then visit the ‘Boathouse’ I had the Beer battered fish ‘n’ chips, came with a choice of mushy peas, or garden peas. I washed it down with a good Cornish Atlantic Pale Ale. After that we had to take a walk as we were totally full. My daughter couldn’t actuate all her fish, and we were offered a doggy bag. The owner came to check all was good, and had a lovely chat. We will love to return in the not too distant future.

I feel like we discovered a gem. Whilst walking along the coastal path towards the hidden hit site we stopped at this lovely cafe. Because it was November it was relatively quiet, I bet it is rammed in the Summer. Seems to be run by lovely people producing great food in simple and smart surroundings. On our first visit we had cakes and drinks and loved it so much we went back again for lunch. Our group of six loved the rocky road, the Christmas scones and the simple lunches. Service was timely and friendly. Give it a go. Thank you.

We had intended to go to the Plume of Feathers over the road, but it didn’t inspire with its “food in a box takeaway” vibe. So we popped into the Boathouse instead. Lovely people, interesting wine and beer list, and the food was excellent. Two of us had their fresh crab sandwiches (which came with a good salad and a little cup of fresh tomato soup) and our third had the fish stew, which was generous and delicious. Highly recommended

I would highly recommend this restaurant. It is the most reasonably priced in the area and I feel that although the menu is simple it does everything well. We had two meals here during our week stay and both were great, a good selection of local beers, fantastic food and delicious desserts. The staff were particularly friendly to our little girl and there is a nice family atmosphere. The goats cheese salad was delicious as were the burgers, overall a little gem!

I have been here countless times since it has opened and have enjoyed every single time. The food and drink is excellent, there is almost always seats available (with outside seating) and the atmosphere is incredible. I do wish that they would bring back some of the old menu items such as the Egg and Bacon Waffles, and the Egg Muffin, but there are so many other amazing options that it doesn't really bother me.

Thoughtful and kind staff. All happy and smiling. Felt very happy ourselves too! Great drinks... all in clean glasses/cups. Pleasant surroundings. Even finished the evening with a chat about old times in Skegness! Had this in common with the server/manager! So good reminiscing! Highly recommend here. The fish stew is spot on! Slightly spicy, warming and fresh! A quality chef special in my opinion. Thanks for letting us sneak in on a busy Saturday. 🙂

The only thing I got served was cold shoulder. I stood in front of the sign saying ' wait to be seated' the place was empty apart from a table of 4 leaving. A member of staff thought it was more important to clear the table than invite customers in. So I thought I would give it a miss. Very disappointing service.

At first we were sat in the corner but we decided to move because of the noise of the kitchen. We asked if we could put the two tables together by the window and sit there but apparently two more customers can sit there so we had to sit on a bigger table away from the window. I would recommend not telling multiple existing paying customers that they are not as important as two potential single customers. The serving girl, bless her, forgot our order first off and had to come back and ask us again. It was brought to our table by what I think was the owner and it was a very cold experience. No greetings and no other niceties. Our coffee was reasonable and the serving girl pointing us towards the easy exit that was on the flat. I think I'll choose to go somewhere else next time

The food’s OK, and not overpriced. What lets the place down is the noisy staff member ( owner?). I know it’s a greasy spoon, but still, one should be able to eat and hear oneself think in relative peace. I sit outside if possible.
