The Boat Shack

This is one of those places that I was tempted not to review so that it doesn't get too popular! It's lovely, sited at the side if a lake. The food menu is restricted in the week, less so at the weekend. The milkshakes are brilliant, as is the choice of teas. The background music is not to loud, and seems to stay around the 1950s and 60s. It is a venue for live music some evenings, some of which I hope to get to soon.

A stunning location with views of the lake, countryside & all the activities. Surrounded by happy people having fun in the views. Great seating outside on nice days to soak in the great atmosphere of the lake & activities. Then inside the Boat Shake is a treat, tasteful decor with something to catch the eye everywhere you look. Nick the owner is a perfect host always giving a warm welcome & I for one find his staff just the same. Great service & high quality food & drinks with great choices. Also his live music Rock n Roll events are a treat for those into great music & locals alike. On the cafe, I’ve never seen anyone unhappy in fact quite the opposite. I can not recommend the Boat Shack highly enough. Give it a go you’ll see what I mean.

What a venue!!! One of the most unlikely but incredible gigging venues I’ve been to in a long time. Cool vibes, wonderful setting, an incredible welcome and an amazing welcoming host. We travelled all of the way from Surrey to be there and will definitely go back. It’s wonderful. Thank you Nick, keep on rockin’ and rollin’. Long live The Boat Shack

Pretty good 👍 Staff are were really friendly, can't fault them. Food quality was mediocre, but acceptable if you're hope's weren't up. It's cheap sausages and burgers, supermarket budget stuff, which is okay of that's what you're expecting. Chips not crisps would have been a good upgrade option, but no can do. Coffee tasted good and was nice and hot. Toilet is near by, so good for young children, not so good if you're on the tables near them. Always bring the children's food out first. Always supply napkins ro tables with young kids. Parking is free. Disabled access from car park to Cafe. 4 Stars not 3, due to great staff and wonderful views of the boating lake.
