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

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.
