We weren't overly impressed with this place tbh. The location is beautiful and the decor is lovely but the food isn't great especially for the price they charge. The salad on the starters didn't look that fresh, the dipping sauce was horrible, the portions weren't massive, the mains weren't great either, the chicken burger tasted burnt, no other flavour to it, the curry tastes like a cheap microwave curry from the supermarket, etc, for the price I expected much better. The service was quick but noone ever asked if we needed anything else or if everything was OK. I definetly wouldnt recommnd and not sure we would rush back!

Lovely situ and had a window seat. Tempura Prawns were rubbery and overcooked, with what looked like some cabbage thrown onto the plate. We had taken my mother for lunch and she wanted fish and chips but a smaller portion (nearly 90 and doesn't eat huge portions) when I asked i was told we would have to pay full price before I was even advised if they did a smaller portion....it wasn't about the cost it was about a smaller portion. This left my mum feeling bad as we were paying full price for a smaller portion. Maybe having 2 different sizes for some of the main courses might help. A lot of places I have visited over the years do this, and some even let seniors order from the children's menu knowing that their appetites are not as big. We had to wait an age for puddings then had to ask for cutlery for our pudding. The only person who seemed happy to be serving there was the young lad who showed us to our seat and then at the end took our money.

Awful. Dreadful food, service… worse than the food. Had 4 meals, almost inedible. Kids meal loaded with salt, fish’n chips x 2 was all batter, no fish. Other meal had a foreign body in it! Waiters / waitresses fine, management verging on aggressive and couldn’t care less. Go somewhere else.

We tried this restaurant when it had only been opened a couple of months. Then, the bar options were very limited and the wine waiter was not in the best of moods. However, tonight, the bar was in full working order and the wine waiter (same guy) was actually quite cheery. We were there as two grandparents, two parents and two grandchildren. Everyone was taken care of appropriately. The only thing I would caution is, the food was great but the portions are huge. Not a bad thing if you are the size of a very large and eating industrially gentleman several tables along but you might find that a starter might fill you up too much to finish your main course. So if you have a reduced appetite skip the excellent starters and make up for it, if you can, with the excellent desserts. We will be back - frequently as we are local. Well done to the Boatyard and especially Joe, the wine/drinks waiter. Always there on cue and never grumped even though our ordering was a wee bit disorganised. Also, my grandchildren were provided with use of coloured pencils to keep them amused during adult conversation. The children’s’ menu seemed to please them as well and the bangers and mash that one of my granddaughters ordered looked great. Came with good gravy that she loved. My other granddaughter had a burger that was man sized. She loved it. Need I say more? Repetition but, we will be back - often!

Mothers day. £29.95 2 course set menu. If I had known my family had booked in here for this Occasion I would have cooked myself. Basically worked out £22 for a bland main meal. I asked for some gravy to be put on my dinner as I have sjogrens which is a very dry mouth condition. I asked for gravy because there was only a tea spoonful amount on my plate not because it was Extra..but because there wasnt enough..I wanted gravy to cover my dinner not just to cover my one(yes one) sugarsnap pea. Charged £3 for the gravy! Mothers day menu was all about over charging and daylight robbery yesterday..its shocking. Boatyard is all about over charging customers and under valuing staff and customers.

Awful. Took my wife and adult children for Mother's day. Server was non-existent. Scrambled eggs tasted and looked like powdered eggs. Coffee had no real coffee flavor. None of us thought our meal was very special. I just feel bad I made the reservations. Only good thing was we had a nice walk together at the RSPB nearby.

Staff lovely. Food awful and overpriced. King prawn tempura, boiling hot but tasted of dirty chip pan oil. Lasagna had very little filling, dry, lacked flavour. Side of sweet potato fries, soggy. Burger from specials menu, bland, neither meal was finished. Wine ridiculously overpriced and poor quality. Would have been far better having a pre made lasagna at home than this food, won’t be back and won’t recommend. £16:95 for lasagna with 2 soggy frozen garlic breads and tiny side salad!!! Extra £4.50 for fries and £10:95 for large wine!!!

Popped in for late lunch. Waited ages to be seated despite place being empty. Limited menu of sandwiches or baked potatoes available. Baked potatoes were not very hot and there was hardly any chilli on one, certainly not worth £10.95 for a baked potato, some crisps and dollop of coleslaw. Told the waiter hardly any chilli and he said he wd pass it back to advise kitchen. Heard no more. Also asked for two meringue cakes to take away and could not believe they were £5 each. Will not be going back. Overly expensive for very average food. Staff nice enough but not very efficient. Surroundings overly gimmicky with a nautical feel. It’s a shame the food let them down.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas but sadly anything but cosy. We had to ask twice to be moved from chilly window table to a warmer place beside the (fake but attractive) fire. I chose mixed tempura from a la carte menu as festive menu wasn’t offered. It was all very dry and tasteless. The accompanying two sauces were uninteresting and I suspect not made in the kitchen. Altogether unappetising. Waiters were very courteous. This is the second disappointing meal I have had, so despite the welcoming atmosphere I won’t be back.

Give afternoon tea a miss. For the price and the Marr Hall status it was extremely disappointing. It was a gift...had I paid for it I would have complained. Eating area quite uncomfortable. Low sagging chairs ...meant I had to jump up and down to reach the tray. Afternoon tea was nothing impressive...had better for less than half the price elsewhere....
