Bosun's Pub And Grill
Description
Part traditional pub, part casual bistro, this Knysna spot serves generous, well-priced portions with standout halloumi, calamari and Sunday roasts, and generally attentive service. Patrons enjoy accessible seating and free parking, but experiences vary: some praise busy, friendly nights while others report missing menu items, greasy preparations and poor handling of mistakes — especially for vegetarians. Best for groups and casual dining; book ahead and confirm menu availability to avoid disappointment.

We went there after checking their menu online. We went there with high hopes of having good vegetarian options as what shows on their website. We ordered our food, and my husband ordered mezze platter) Food arrived My stake was tasty My son burgur was tasty My husband was choked as he got a platter full of meat !!!! The waiter apologised and promised to solve the problem. After a while, he came saying the Mediterranean kitchen is closed and we should order something else. There was nothing appealing in the menu. Eventually, he ordered nachos. Then someone approached asking if we were happy, and we explained the issue for her . She said two day ago they had this platter but not today, and she is sorry . Then another staff member came and apologised and said it was the waiter falt and that they didn't have this platter for a long time.!!! I don't know who was saying the truth. After all that, they charged us for the horrible nachos. I think the least they can do is not to charge for nachos because it was their mistake Try to be creative as vegetarian food doesn't need special talent, and you can make good food from what you have in your kitchen. So this is a horrible place for vegetarians They don't know how to solve problems nor to satisfy customers. Vegetarian options: None
Sadly I have to add a review. We have been to Bosuns a couple of times, and each time we had ok food and ok service. However last night was a shocker I am so disappointed with myself for not walking out, but in defense I was with 2 elderly people one of them on crutches who does not move fast and has other issues so getting up and leaving was going to be trickier. The service was beyond shocking drinks took a LONG time and then we were told they did not have what we ordered. Food took an hour and 3/4 to arrive and to clear the table did not happen so I offered to help. The check took a while to arrive. What is even more disappointing is that no matter how many times a smiley manager arrived to ask if everything was OK nothing changed even though we would say what the issues were. I get it it 's in season stock has run out waiters are run off their feet. I would not manage a restuarant for love or money. But when you want an evening out and you want to spend your hard earned cash you expect at least some consideration, some managerial input, something or someone that acknowledges they dropped the ball big time. We did tip the waiter he apologized. But it 's the attitude of the managers that has left me reeling and if the waiter was 'in training ' then we should have been alerted.

We came to this pub in August 2023 for the first time and it was incredible: good, affordable food and a homely atmosphere. Just over a year later, the atmosphere has remained, but the food was extremely disappointing. I ordered a 500g T bone, which cost about R150 here in 2023, as far as I recall, rare however, I received it well done. At a price of now R250, you expect a perfectly done steak that is succulent and tasty. Furthermore, we waited nearly an hour for our food and also heard an elderly couple complain that they had been waiting for over an hour after which they left the restaurant. Very disappointing. I hope it is a one time occurrence.
