January 12, 2025 at 3:35 pmEnjoyed an excellent lunch at Water Lane Boathouse!
Arrived around 12:30pm on a very cold Sunday in January to find plenty of free tables, although there were quite a few reserved and it did fill up quite a bit later on so it might be advisable to book for larger parties.
On Sundays there is a 50% off pizza deal and Amstell is only £3.50 per pint, so 2 pizzas and 2 pints only came to £18.95. Amazing value!
The pizzas were both absolutely delicious. It was a difficult choice as there were lots of good options, but in the end, we opted for the spicy chicken and the meatball with caramelised onions.
We were impressed that they arrived within 15 minutes of ordering.
We were lucky to secure a window seat and had a lovely view of the dock (the water was iced over!) whilst we enjoyed our lunch.

Views of the river were fab, window seat provided a great viewpoint for ducks and ducklings swimming by. Dog friendly inside and looks to have a good outside area too.

August 4, 2025 at 9:58 amWe went to Water Lane Boathouse for a friend’s birthday meal and drinks. There was indoor and outdoor seating; we sat inside. The atmosphere was vibey, and the staff were friendly and helpful. There was a good variety of drinks, and the 50% off pizzas on Sundays between 5-8pm was a great. The long, bench-style tables were perfect for talking and socialising (however, not ideal for buggies). The pizzas were delicious! Ours were great, although one of our friends received a pizza with a crust that was quite heavily charred.
