I don't understand the few negative reviews! What more could people want? The Boat Shack offers a stunning location with views of the lake and countryside, surrounded by happy people enjoying the activities. The outdoor seating is perfect for soaking in the atmosphere on nice days, and the interior is tastefully decorated with something to catch the eye everywhere you look. Nick, the owner, is a wonderful host and his staff are just as welcoming. The service is excellent, with high quality food and drinks to choose from. The live music events are a treat for music lovers. I have never seen anyone unhappy at the cafe - in fact, quite the opposite. I highly recommend the Boat Shack. Give it a...
The restaurant has a young staff who lack customer service skills. I observed the female staff rolling their eyes at me when I asked for something not on their menu - a slice of onion. The staff should be trained on how to politely explain that the kitchen doesn't stock certain items. It is unacceptable to use paper plates and single-use plastic utensils in today's society. Even the coffee cups are disposable. My partner ordered a baked potato with beans and cheese, which came with three separate disposable cups for each topping. This excessive use of single-use items is unnecessary and wasteful. The ingredients could easily be placed directly on the potato instead.
I had a burger approx £9) poor value. Crisps instead of chips but still restaurant price. My daughter assured the milk shakes were dear £4.50ish) but really good. Yes she was correct they were dear but instead of a lovely chocolate milkshake it tasted like someone had dumped chocolate sauce, covered it with milk then squirted on cream and covered it with hundreds and thousands and m m look alikes. To call it a chocolate milkshake was fantasy. More like a sugar rush.
I went to the Boat Shack today with my parents and partner. My parents ordered food and had the chicken and bacon sandwich. It looked so good! Filled to the max, with tasty crisps and a salad which came with a baby cucumber. Such lovely looking food! It's a homely feel when you go in there, clean and querky, and the staff are super friendly! This was our first visit, but we will definitely be back! Go here instead of webbs! Better food and atmosphere

The restaurant is in a wonderful location, but the young staff lacked training in customer service. They were inattentive and rude. Additionally, they were using paper plates and plastic cutlery in a beautiful nature reserve. There is room for improvement in providing better service and using more sustainable materials. It's all about the simple basics.
We are regulars and visited recently at lunch time. The staff are always helpful and pleasant. We had morning tea at the Bus then lunch at the Shack. The cheese toastie was very good and the coffee is always excellent. I'd love a return to real china…but I know disposable cups and plates are easier. So maybe Ill get over it!
Followed musician Slim Jim Phantom from Stray Cats and heard he was playing at the boat shack. Went to the shack on a glorious Saturday evening, had a few drinks, lovely lakeside location and excellent music. As a normal daytime cafe it looks good and have visited.
one of the best places i,ve visited, right from walking in the door staff are friendly, you can sit inside or out. Fantastic view over the lake . Burgers are really nice, cappuccino is excellent cokes are cold. also a great venue for bands to play.

What a absolutely perfect place to visit .. Not only great food and company but live music on the weekend .. If I was you I would keep eye on this place .. Me and my partner will definitely and definitely again be going back..x
Lovely little cafe with great views. Wish they would open a bit earlier though. Nice coffee. Didn't eat.
