What DebbieW0860 doesn't like about The Boathouse Fish:
The fish 'n chips were disappointing, as they were greasy and bland. It appeared that the frying oil needed to be changed. The young girls working behind the counter were pleasant, but they did not seem to understand that when ordering a small portion of chips, it seemed to be the same size as the regular portion.

Set against a picturesque seaside backdrop, The Boathouse has garnered mixed responses from its patrons. While some diners rave about generous portions, fresh ingredients, and friendly service, others have expressed disappointment in bland dishes, particularly the fish and chips, citing greasy textures and insufficient flavor. The restaurant’s atmosphere, however, remains a highlight, with lovely views and a welcoming staff. Frequent visitors lament the decline in quality compared to their previous experiences, but the establishment still holds a loyal following for its affordable prices and quality offerings. Overall, The Boathouse continues to be a point of contention among local food lovers.
