What User likes about The Royal Boathouse:
Great watering hole opposite the pier. No food but a good selection of beers and ales. A bonus is the choice of bottled belgian beers on offer Lefe on draft. Yummy. View all feedback. What KeelyM442 doesn't like about The Royal Boathouse:
We've lived in the local area all our life and always enjoyed The Royal for a quick stop. Just such a shame it's so expensive, £8.40 for two cokes. Won't be returning, will spend our money in other pubs on the front. View all feedback.
