Beautiful Sunday carvery! The beef was so tender and a great selection of vegetables. Wonderful price. My ONLY compkaint was that I couldn't eat it it all lol. I will recommend this place. We have had breakfast here on another occasion and that was great too. Well done to all the hard working staff. See you next season.

1st time going in here was packed on a Saturday in September, we didn't have food but from looking at other people's plates it looked nice and fresh, will be going back in a few weeks to have a carvey, the views were lovley in there and the staff were friendly

Best pub in Skeg by far. No, make that the country. You simply won't find cheaper beer or food of this quality elsewhere. But most of all is how friendly everyone is. An absolute crime if the character of this wonderful place ever changes.

3 of us went for a Sunday Carvery and it was Outstanding. When I went up to fetch the Carverys the chef was perfect and the waitress I would like to thank so much she helped me bring the plates to the table outside. Also the price is reasonable as well and another point about the waitress she left the table with a smile and was thanked by all 3 of us who went for the carvery.

Friendly staff, delicious food, amazing prices. We walked in from the promenade and had a family meal here. There was something for everyone. 3 of us chose roast dinners, which were really tasty. Our 10 year old had minute steak with chips, and we asked for peas on the side. This was from the snacks and light meals menu and it was a substantial portion for him. All of this plus 4 non-alcoholic drinks was £30.30. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing, we came as a group of 8 and were seated in about 10-15 minutes. Cannot fault the staff at all. The price of the carvery was around £8 which for the quality is so good, easily the best carvery I’ve had probably ever. We live up in the North East and plan on coming down again just for a carvery.

Amazing. Keep it up!

Didn't eat but the menu looked very good value for money.
The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming on a very cold evening, can recommend the draught beer that they served.

First visit to The Boat House.
Popped in for a full English, wasn’t disappointed. Excellent breakfast, food was very good & cooked perfectly, just like your mama’s.
Two full English breakfast options, large & Medium. Plenty of alternative options available.
Coffee was also very nice. Worth every penny .

Was recommended by my children who work at Butlins - great little. pub, prices very reasonable. Being at butlins its very easy to fall in the tourist trap, but the Boathouse is great.

Did not have the food but it looked good and plenty of people were eating, Good selection of alcoholic drinks and priced great, I got 5 x pints for around £20. Good entertainment and plenty of novelty decor.

Well worth a visit - service is something to be desired for, I think the barmaid was in a bad mood when I came

The boathouse was the restaurant area of the southview park dean resort. The service and staff were good. The food did take long but the drinks came out very fast. The atmosphere was lovely with beautiful decor.

Been meaning to try the carvery here for years. Finally had one today, very fresh and well cooked vegetables the beef melted in your mouth. It's help yourself and it's served between 11.45am - 16.00.. Also dogs welcome.
