The Boathouse - Teignbridge

Food is way too expensive here and very low quality. Pretty much everything is store brought and not fresh. Just a few minor changes would make it so much nicer. Even the rice with the curry is packet brought, it’s not that difficult to boil some rice! I know it’s a busy place because of all the holiday makers but having good quality food for the price they charge would make such a difference.

I strongly advise against ordering the pizza at this restaurant. It looked like it was made by a fifth grade student, with too much tomato paste on a rubbery, store-bought base and tasteless, pale, undercooked cheese. There were no herbs, no browning, no vegetable topping options – nothing. It was probably the worst pizza I've ever tasted. I ended up leaving half of it to eat toast in my caravan. The price of £12 was outrageous for the quality. My wife had the scampi, but didn't finish the peas and chips. Some menu items were unavailable. The service staff seemed inexperienced and not well supervised. We had issues with our orders and the staff's abilities were questionable. The desserts were okay the next night, but we decided to avoid ordering main courses again. They no longer serve breakfast, but based on our experience, it's not a loss.

Used to eat here every day on previous holidays but sadly it has gone down hill. Everything is fried, there are no salads, sandwiches, ploughman’s . No desert menu. The chairs are very stained. The service is haphazard. Breakfast was good but inconsistent across several days .

As it was the last day of our short break over the early May Bank Holiday we decided to avoid cooking the washing up on our last night. We ate in the bar area as we also had a dog with us. The lady that served us was lovely and friendly and our food came out very quickly. My Dad really enjoyed his Fish Chips and the fish was a good portion size too. I had a lighter option (the Camembert) and a side of Chunky Chips which were piping hot on arrival at the table. My husband had the Sausage, Mash peas. We all enjoyed our food and 2 if us had waffles for our dessert. It was very quiet in the bar area and we found ourselves to be the only ones when another couple left. I think people may have travelled back on the Bank Holiday Monday. We felt the prices were quite reasonable for the food and dishes being offered.

The service and food at this restaurant were outstanding. The staff were very attentive and the food was delicious. The views were also breathtaking. I will definitely be returning.
