The Boat House Brasserie

We love this place and go often as we live on the marina next door. The cakes are the best around and are huge! We’ve had take away Sunday dinners and have eaten breakfasts inside too. It’s always busy and although that’s great for them, it’s not always good for us as we prefer it a little quieter. That’s personal preference . It’s run very well, lots of staff and it’s organised. There are seating booths outside where you can sit with your dog which is great . The drinks are very expensive and so is the food but it’s good. The only down side is that even though you’re a regular customer they don’t treat you as one as they are too busy to converse or ask how you are. It takes 10 seconds to ask. I just feel that when it’s busy they want you in and out. Saying that we would still go as we really enjoy the food and it’s walking distance. I’d highly recommend the cakes .

We often visit The Boat House Brasserie, but it is too cold. We won't be back until the warm weather returns or they adjust the thermostat.

The restaurant is in a great location and offers a diverse menu at affordable prices. Their breakfasts are a must-try. I have been there many times and have enjoyed their breakfasts, light lunches, and a variety of cakes. Whether you dine indoors, on the terrace, or in the unique cabins, the service and quality of food and drinks are excellent. It is definitely worth a visit.

Outstanding food and delightful atmosphere. Always a reliable choice. The cakes are absolutely delicious. Take a stroll along the canal or visit Rufford Old Hall to burn off those calories.

Wanted to take my friend for birthday surprise as part of her day. Stopped off for coffee, first time here. Liked it so much, booked to return for lunch. Place is a little jem. Coffee was really good and fresh. Extensive lunch menu, and food nicely prepared, VERY fresh and tasty. Great selection of cakes, they are to die for. Restaurant very clean and tidy. Staff very attentive and very presentable in their appearance. Sat inside for coffee, but later returned for lunch were we were seated outide in one of their many little huts overlooking the canal, which was very enjoyable and pleasant. Definitely returning soon with other friends for breakfast. Reasonably priced also. IT'S A MUST.
