Boat

Returned for 3rd visit recently and although everything looked very much the same, the food was nowhere near as good as previous. More worrying was the slightly dismissive attitude and lack of interest. Needs to improve to meet it's previous well deserved reputation.

I can thoroughly recommend The Boat. We have eaten there several times and have always had a good meal at a reasonable price. There is a blackboard in the bar area with a varied choice on offer to appeal to all tastes. One can relax on comfy sofas or chairs with a pre diner drink and peruse the menu board while deciding what to order. Once you have placed your order you are then taken to your table. You can actually see the chefs at work through a glass screen at the rear of the bar area. Food is freshly cooked to order and well presented. There is also a good choice of wines at reasonable prices. The service is good and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Also the table are spaced reasonably well apart so you are not sitting too close to other diners. I would give this excellent pub four stars.
