First time we’ve been out for Christmas Lunch and it was very special. The staff at Instow are always so welcoming and the Christmas Lunch was amazing, delicious …. We had lots of time to enjoy each course and when we got home we could play games …. No clearing up! Thank you for another lovely meal and for looking after us on Christmas Day. Ally.

It’s not easy putting together a flavoursome roast for 100s of people but wow…. Without a doubt the best roast dinner I have ever had in a restaurant, Christmas Day or not! Well done boathouse, the food & staff were amazing!

Tripadvisor Review - December 2023

It was the perfect place for our meal. The staff were friendly and helpful, from the moment of booking to when we left the venue. They worked really hard to make sure that everything was perfect and the food was amazing!! We were all very impressed and can't wait to go back.
