About us

The Boathouse can be found next to the lovely sandy beach and dunes at Dawlish Warren on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Once you step inside you are immediately greeted by friendly staff and cosy surroundings. Downstairs the atmosphere is relaxed and intimate with sofas, booths and quiet corners, whilst upstairs the sweeping ocean views and stunning coastline make it a truly memorable dining experience.

In the summer months you can make the most of dining outside on our balconies or out in the beer garden.

You can’t really beat a beach side restaurant for relaxed family friendly vibes and this place has it in spades 😏. The food was honest and cooked well, nothing fancy but more than did the job

Ordered a couple of drinks before food. It was easy to get a table as it was late afternoon and everybody was still enjoying the sun on the beach. Wife ordered hallumi/ vegetable kebab which she thought was lightweight for the price. Mine was ok and so was the cheesy garlic bread. Total food bill was about £39 and then drinks on top.

An absolutely amazing place. With great decorations and a terrific atmosphere. Back ground music was almost my personal play list. Haha. The food.. oh my! It was amazing.. generous portion sizes and absolutely delicious! I may have over eaten.. but it was worth it! Can't wait to visit again!

Popped in for lunch with my wife and two daughters today. Ordered 2 kids meals and 2 adult meals at the bar. Kids: Cheeseburger, Fries and Peas & Chicken Bites, Fries and Peas Adults: 2 Steak hot rustic baguette with Fries and salad. Staff were friendly and we had no wait to order. Food took 45 minutes to come out (ordered at 12:45) so the lunchtime rush but still this was a little bit too long for 4 simple meals. This kids meals were fine and hot but both steak baguettes were stone cold as were the fries. And when I say cold I mean the steak to the touch felt like it had just come out the fridge. We took these meals back to the bar where one of the staff arranged replacements quickly. 5-6 mins later new meals arrived. They were hotter but I wouldn’t say they were hot or particularly freshly cooked. Also the amount of steak in the baguette was rather lacking. And to make things worse the steak was overcooked and chewy. I considered complaining but we only had a short time left on our car parking and we’re having a nice day out so didn’t want to ruin it. The kids meals were ok for the money and I would consider giving The Boat House another chance if we were in the area again. Looking at some of the other meal’s coming out of the kitchen they did look ok. In summary: Just OK, not really a ‘Grill’ and I would say slightly overpriced considering the simplicity of the food. Friendly Staff and Nice location and atmosphere.

When a £17 burger had guacamole listed as one of its key features, I expect to find more than a teaspoon inside. (I would also expect the bun to be toasted, but I'm 25 years out of the burger flipping game) A huge portion of fruits was provided as part of the meal, however these were undercooked and not particularly hot when served. I did complain about the lack of guacamole once staff did arrive to check on us, and they did provide a full ramekin after the complaint.
