Set on the coast, with views that’ll make you want to never leave (trust us, we understand), we are your ultimate seaside escape.
We’re proud to serve some of the finest seafood around (but you knew that already). With a menu that celebrates the best local ingredients, we’re all about giving you an unforgettable dining experience – without the fuss. Whether you’re here for a date night, family gathering, or a refuel-pit-stop, our laid-back setting is just the place to enjoy soul-warming food, taste-bud-tantalising tipples, and the best views on the North Devon coast.
We are so lucky to be situated moments away from the sandy shores of Instow beach. It’s a dog walkers heaven. We welcome all sea dogs, please be sure to book a bar table or outside on our ‘Top Deck’ safe in the knowledge that you’ll receive full table service and the same fabulous menu as served in our restaurant.
We’re talking juicy West Country beef, giant Yorkies, seasonal vegetables and boat loads of proper gravy; and that’s before we even mention our carefully crafted Bloody Mary’s. There’s no better day to bring all of the family together.
Picture plates piled high with fresh mussels, Cornish Hake and whole Devon Plaice (just to name a few). Our menu is a love letter to all things from the sea.
From the freshest lobster to seafood that’s so fresh, it practically jumps out of the sea and onto your plate (we’re exaggerating, but you get the idea), our menu has something to tempt every taste. Whether you’re after something light or craving a hearty, indulgent meal, we’ve got the perfect dish for you. And don’t forget to pair it with a glass of something sparkling – because what’s better than seafood by the sea?
Give the gift of the Boathouse. Why not treat someone special to a round of cocktails, a dinner for two or even one of our popular Sunday Roasts. All our gift vouchers are valid for 12 months.
We highly recommend our friends at The Seagate in Appledore, just a 10-minute drive away. A true community hub, The Seagate offers a selection of beautifully appointed rooms – 10 above the pub and 7 in the charming converted sail loft by the Quay. Whether you’re here for a family getaway or a pet-friendly retreat, you’ll find everything you need. Think ultra-comfy beds with crisp linen, plus a snack basket brimming with your favourite treats to make you feel right at home.
