What fosywoo doesn't like about The Boat House:
After a walk around the lake we called here for lunch, it was quite busy as it was Sunday and no staff around to ask for a table. An older lady approached us and asked if we were looking for a table she was quite rude and abrupt. Once seated we were handed a menu and I had to ask a member of staff to order as no one came to us after about 15 minutes, most of the staff looked miserable and uninterested. We ordered two...

My husband and I came to Ellesmere for a walk last week and came across the Boathouse. We thought we'd give it a try, and wow, so glad we did. It was late morning, and breakfast was still being served. We tried the full English breakfast, and it was superb. Very popular place, it was certainly getting very busy. It's definitely worth visiting for food, coffee and cake View all feedback.

The Boathouse restaurant offers a mixed experience for diners. Some guests have complained about rude and slow service, with missing orders and cold food, while others have praised the welcoming atmosphere and delicious menu options. The scenic lakeside setting receives high marks, with a variety of seating choices available. The staff has been described as hit or miss, with some being very attentive and others less friendly. Overall, The Boathouse seems to have potential for improvement in customer service, but offers delightful food in a beautiful location that may be worth a visit.

Dogs in all parts no separate area for diners who do not want to be by barking dogs when eating, no good if one has an allergy
