The Boathouse

The Boathouse Celebrating fresh fish & seafood. Restaurant & bar plus an elevated terrace-offering exquisite views
(1520)

Overlooking the wide golden sands of Instow - and boasting uninterrupted views over to the picture postcard village of Appledore and out onto the Atlantic, The Boathouse is a beach bar and restaurant that's guaranteed to delight. Situated on the estuary at the confluence of the Taw and Torridge rivers, we're a melting pot of great British food and drink from across North Devon. And, as you'd expec

t from a such a coastal venue, we've also got a menu that is swimming with a fine selection of fabulous seafood. Get your friends and family together and set sail for The Boathouse. With a range of great spaces both in the pub and on our amazing sun-drenched ‘Top Deck' available, we'll help you navigate your way to the best in the west.

Blues skies on the horizon, here’s hoping they stay the whole day through.
We do our best to keep our outside deck open for as long as the weather allows.
Booked an outside table in advance? Make sure to double check with the crew it’s suitably when the weather adjusts…we always do our best to re-accommodate elsewhere in our building.

Well the weather may not be fully on side but there is no negotiating what Sundays mean to us…
Whether its a full roast with the family, drinks with friends, a swift one with some bar snacks, a much needed hair of the dog, a takeaway for that brisk walk on the beach with the dog or some of our core seafood classics, our doors are open to get this Bank Holiday Weekend off to a cracking start.
See you at the pub 😉

We’ve plenty of cosy seats indoors, where the food, drinks and atmosphere will be just as lively as ever.
So come in, get cosy and let us take care of the rest.

Our favourite way to start a Sunday 🌞
Don’t forget that we’re open from 9am; I’m thinking freshly brewed coffee, cakes/pastries or even a breakfast bap with a side of tattertots.
Come start your day The Boathouse way
