The Boat House Brasserie

Went for Lunch and we had drinks and sandwiches. Wasn't at all nice. The website makes it look amazing, so modern and appealing but when you walk in it's like a cafe in a market. Awful ! Definitely not a brasserie. My tea was in a very large catering silver tea pot that would have served 20 cups but only 1 cheap tasting tea bag. Cheap Cafe type cup and saucer. The sandwiches looked unappetising as I could have made better my self at home. It said homemade coleslaw but it wasn't. It was like Asda smart cheap watery coleslaw. The bread was nothing special, thought it would be different maybe homemade crafted artisan but it wasn't. Probably just supermarket bread. The salad looked sad so overal...

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 as...

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.

We had a booking today at 1:30 for 4 people the place was heaving because it being a sunny day we couldn’t even notify anybody that we had arrived due to this, a lady shouted from behind the counter (hello sorry we will be with you asap) so we waited and felt bad for the waiting on staff as they where rushing about trying to make way for customers coming in, they seemed to be very understaffed. We eventually ordered our food and our drinks hadn’t even arrived yet, it was a very stressful and chaotic experience! The ladies did a great job, still friendly despite the madness. I wouldn’t like to see what this place is like in the height of summer. Reserva una mesa ahora

My wife a vegetarian doesn't eat eggs (there was no vegan choice of breakfast) so ordered mushrooms on toast thinking they would be grilled or fried. I don't know if they had been boiled or microwaved or even tinned, but they were tough, chewy and inedible. Fortunately beans came with my breakfast which I'm not keen on so was able to offer her these to have with her toast. Surely it can't be that hard to grill some fresh mushrooms, they are grown locally! On the plus side, the flapjack which we took away was lovely.

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.

Very nice brasserie, been coming here for many years and never wrote a review as most people only have negative things to say. Lovely staff, very nice menu something for everyone. Lovely daily selections of fresh cakes. Daily soups, lovely homemade sandwiches! We will continue to come to this little gem of a place for years to come! Keep doing what your doing!

Fantastic service. Our waitress was Janet. She couldn't do enough for us. Food was exceptional. We came from Derbyshire to visit friends.in Lancashire and were so impressed. We will certainly return to the boathouse on our next visit. Reserva una mesa ahora

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.

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.
