The Boathouse

The Boathouse Celebrating fresh fish & seafood. Restaurant & bar plus an elevated terrace-offering exquisite views
(1521)

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 expec

t 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.

Blues skies on the horizon, here’s hoping they stay the whole day through.
We do our best to keep our outside deck open for as long as the weather allows.
Booked an outside table in advance? Make sure to double check with the crew it’s suitably when the weather adjusts…we always do our best to re-accommodate elsewhere in our building.

Well the weather may not be fully on side but there is no negotiating what Sundays mean to us…
Whether its a full roast with the family, drinks with friends, a swift one with some bar snacks, a much needed hair of the dog, a takeaway for that brisk walk on the beach with the dog or some of our core seafood classics, our doors are open to get this Bank Holiday Weekend off to a cracking start.
See you at the pub 😉

So come in, get cosy and let us take care of the rest.

Our favourite way to start a Sunday 🌞
Don’t forget that we’re open from 9am; I’m thinking freshly brewed coffee, cakes/pastries or even a breakfast bap with a side of tattertots.
Come start your day The Boathouse way

For every Raspberry Honeybee spritz you enjoy this august Youngs will plant a tree.
Together with saplingspirits Youngs are pledging to plant up to 2,000 trees across British forests.
That’s one more reason to get spritzing

Things to make a blustery coastal day that little bit better 🌊☀️
A steaming bowl of nduja-spiced mussels, crispy fries and a hunk of ciabatta for mopping up every last drop — ideally enjoyed while watching the world go by.
We do our best to keep the deck open and running whenever we can, but on particularly windy or rainy days, please double-check before heading down.

Last night was a corker of a sun-downer for our guests and team alike…
Don’t forget bank holiday is creeping up on us and although we can’t guarantee the sun will shine (but lets all keep our fingers crossed🤞) we do suggest to book for your desired date in advance to avoid disappointment.
With a warm welcome for children, muddy paws and everyone in between its the perfect place to soak in all we have to offer here by the coast.
