The Boathouse Celebrating fresh fish & seafood. Restaurant & bar plus an elevated terrace-offering exquisite views
(1518)

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 expect 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.

Sundays were made for an extra sprinkle of indulgence… 
End your weekend on a sweet note with our heavenly chocolate orange bread & butter pudding or a decadent crème brûlée with poached pear.
Because Sundays are for slowing down, treating yourself and always leaving room for dessert. 😉
