I recently visited for breakfast with a friend. Having ordered our drinks and food it quickly became clear our choice to sit outside was an unwise one due to the number of wasps. We therefore picked up our order and asked a young waitress if we could sit inside due to the issue. She smiled and said of course, please sit where you would like. As the centre room was quite full with only larger tables left we walked into the room on the right to find a smaller table. We sat down and started our much awaited breakfast. Unfortunately, just after settling an older waitress walked in and very abruptly asked where we had come from and why we were sitting there. I explained that we had been outside,...
Not been through Ellesmere and here for 3 years, it was at that time just about OK, but it has slipped downhill somewhat. With not that much alternatives in Ellesmere we tried it once more. Well, all in all, best thing about this place is the view, situated on the shore of the beautiful Ellesmere Lake just outside the town centre. Called in for a quick brunch whilst enroute through Ellesmere town, ordered a cheese and pickle sandwich, side order of chunky fries and an espresso. Espresso was tepid, why oh why can’t the average barista in the UK know how to make a decent and hot espresso, it’s not very difficult ! The cheese sandwich at a few pence under £8.00 was not what one would expect for...
Booked a table for our family. Started off well. Airy, nice view, pretty decor. Drinks food orders taken staff were friendly. Some of our drinks didn’t turn up. We chased them up still no drinks. Mentioned to another member of staff still no drinks. After 30 mins missing drinks arrive. Hurrah! Food starts to arrive. 2 dishes were missing these things happen, we understood. We told a member of staff, they ran off to find out, but never came back with an update on the order. We asked someone else… one dish turned up by then everyone else on our table was finishing. One dish never turned up. We got given a discount but there was a definite note of hostility from the manager. I’d have been so mu...
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 roast chicken breast Sunday lunches sea bass, the sea bass was beautiful as was the roast chicken but for £16 I was quite shocked one roast potato, on each plate, one small bowl of vegetables between two, one piece of broccoli! The food was very nice but for the price I would ha...

We had a lovely lunch at The Boathouse. As soon as we entered we were greeted with a friendly welcome and seated at a great table with a view over the lake, we didn't even have a reservation so we were impressed. We ordered drinks which came quickly then we ordered food. I had an amazing Buddha bowl which had everything I love, the portion was substantial which is not always the case for vegan dishes and the tastes were great. My partner had a burger which he said was delicious as did my Mum. All in all it was a lovely experience and we will definitely be back.
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
We booked a table for 20 to celebrate our mum’s surprise 80th birthday lunch. We were welcomed warmly and drinks orders taken. The service, food and customer service were all outstanding Rosie HJ and Nathan looked after us really well and really helped made our special occasion even more special. Thank you all, highly recommend
Some staff rude and abrupt. When you order the boathouse breakfast for 6 people you don't expect 2 small bowls of baked beans for 6 people! I know you're only charging £10.50 for this but please serve what is stated on the menu per person
