The Boathouse is an iconic building overlooking the Mere at Ellesmere where magic is created.
We cater for up to 40 persons during the day in our private dining area and up to 150 at night for a private booking of the whole building. We unfortunately, do not host private parties of over 40 during the day because the restaurant is always busy.

Amazing, it is clean and the food is simple but nice. There is a cafe area that serves good reasonably priced food. However, I would recommen the restaurant with many very good value recipes.

My husband and I went for a walk around the mere! Stopped for a coffee at the Boathouse. The young man serving was very polite and friendly! I had a delicious home made sausage roll and a lovely slice of lemon drizzle cake both so fresh and tasty! My husband had white bait and again he said it was lovely and tasty! I would definitely recommend for whatever food you desire! All very fresh and well presented ! Will definitely revisit and we are going to book for a Jazz night in the restaurant 2nd Thursday every month! Pleasurable visit , thank you. More...
