The Boat House Cafe

Sadly this has been demolished and a pop up in its place. The coffee was delicious however the food was tasteless and dry (breakfast baps) had to ask for butter as soo dry. When mentioned, having left half the food, we were presented with a bill for £19 for 2 dry rolls and 2 coffee and a 12.5% tip. Will not be returning and would not recommend.

This was our second visit in as many weeks and what a treat! Food is outstanding, views are great and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. We had our sausage dog with us and the waiting staff were so kind and friendly to him, ensuring he had enough water and the occasional cuddle. This is definitely one of our favourite places to go.

This cafe is now in a wind battered tent next to the marina . On a windy day the background music doesn’t hide the constant flapping of the fabric . So why would anyone chose to eat here? The food? No way . I ordered the wrap and fries . The wrap was cold and fries soggy . When I complained the Magee just laughed . Do not go here at any cost . It’s a complete rip off

This place was a joke it deserves 0 stars, overpriced, clueless youth serving, poorly cooked breakfast and all for a premium just because it's at a Marina. This is a rob the wealthy with minimal effort exercise and I'm surprised it's got the stars it has. I've had far better experiences at a greasy spoon in a service station. The only positive is the ingredients were mildly better than taking a shop at lidl for a hangover breakfast.

Booked an afternoon tea for me and my partner. Arrived and we requested indoor seating as it was super hot. (Sorry review is a little late)! Sat down and were given menus I explained we had afternoon tea booked, with that we were offered our drinks (these were constantly filled up) and out came the sandwiches and cakes all very enjoyable. It’s right in the marina and outdoors there is loads of seating for soaking up the sunshine or even a cooler day a coffee. This place is ideal for stopping for a cheeky drink whilst walking along the route down to Warsash, or the other way to Bursledon. Worth a stop

Came for Brunch on a not so busy Saturday. Young rude staff with zero interest to serve. Went up to order food as we were sat outside, and the girl that served me was not happy to be working at all... I asked for the fish sandwich with no tartar but Mayo and it was a straight no. Not I will ask the chef or see what I can do for you, just a no. Very odd... We then get our food and it was there is your food and cutlery is over there as she points near the door as she walks away. Hugely over priced for not that impressive food and rude, poor service. Real shame as it has potential with a lovely location, guess that 's all you 're paying for.

We had booked afternoon tea for 3, as a birthday treat. Staff didn't seem bothered to serve us the whole time, and food was below standard even for a simple tea. Sandwiches were different from menu, which they did say it may be...but piccalilli was so sharp it turned your stomach. The cakes had come from a Kiplings packet and were awful, they should feel ashamed. We had to go to the bar to pay and gave feedback on food, when we did get a discount, where they explained it was being bulldozed following day and re-opened March, so stick had run down. Don't take booking if you can't stock the food!! Ended up with heartburn all night afterwards!!

Popped in for a light lunch with my partner, parents and our dog. My step dad is in a wheelchair but we had no issue getting him in and finding a table to accommodate him. Waiting staff were attentive without being over the top. The food was delicious, I had the wild mushroom sandwich and I'd be hard pushed to say I'd had a better sandwich in years. My parents had the soup which was flavourful and the perfect size for lunch and my partner had egg mayo sandwich which was also great. It is a pop up cafe so a temporary structure while the permanent cafe is being built, which makes the food all the more impressive. We moor our boat locally and will definitely be dropping in again.

We were a group of five celebrating a birthday. First of all I will mention the parking; there's not much parking and you're restricted to two hours. The food was hit and miss: pizzas we're very poor, with hardly any toppings. Mussels were overcooked and shrivelled. Bubble Squeak and Fish Chips were good. Service was really poor!! We had to go and find a waitress every time we wanted to order drinks, and we were left sitting for ages before our food orders were taken. They spent most of their time standing behind the pillars chatting. The final insult was the 12.5% service charge they had decided to award themselves! Not only was the self-awarded tip extremely impertinent, but the service wa...
