The Boathouse

Perched at the edge of the lake this place offers amazing views across the waterfront with plenty of swans to admire Amazingly friendly greeting by my server as I walked in and consistently pleasant experience throughout Inside this place is a lot bigger than it looked from outside and based on the number of bums on seats it’s very popular Food was delicious and came as a good sized portion to fill a hungry belly Didn’t get to try a happy ending but will return to give it a go

After a nice walk around the Princess Park we went back to Perch for a coffee and a snack. After a warm welcome from the team and looking at the great options on the menu we ended up having a delicious lunch and a spooky Halloween themed salted caramel hot chocolate. We will definitely be returning back to try all other great menu options.

***EDIT March 2022*** We used to love this place for lovely salads and food until we have been turned down on two occasions. One Sunday they only had a very limited menu and one Saturday we have been told that there is NOT ENOUGH FOOD FOR MORE CUSTOMERS 🤣 What sort of restaurant runs out of food on Saturday at 3pm?! ******************************** We absolutely loved it! Such a refreshment in comparison to the rest of places in Eastbourne. Food looks great, very appetising and tastes delicious! Very nice interior and fantastic views through the large windows. We'll definitely come back for more!

On a cold December day the place looked deserted as there where no cars in the carpark only a motorbike. After walking around the princes park lake looking at the small boats being sailed by grown ups we saw people inside. We went to the outside toilets which are great for park walkers, then stopped for a coffee and cake which was really nice. Staff where friendly but we were disappointed that the cafe looked closed, I bet they loose a lot of passing trade because of this

The best roast dinner you will ever have!! Fantastic quality food. Really cool decor and a lovely atmosphere. The ultimate sharing roast is just a brilliant idea. My first visit to Perch in Eastbourne and it was a great experience. The team were so welcoming with one team member who stood out in particular with her enthusiasm. It's so rare at present to get such great service, and I would be lucky to have them on my team. We will be back.
