The Boatyard - Leigh-on Sea

Visits the terrace for a “Everything Beautiful” Saturday afternoon R

Popped in for lunch, didn't know about the place beforehand. Staff were really great, knowledgeable and helpful with our 6 month old boy. Family's are welcome and the highchair we had was really good and clean. Went for the Lobster tortellini and a local craft beer which were both really nice.

Amazing food, brilliant service with friendly helpful staff, great atmosphere but VERY loud. Would highly recommend

We were celebrating and decided to visit The Boatyard. Upon arrival greeted nicely, shown to our table. We placed drinks orders, unfortunately there was no choice of non alcoholic beer or mocktails. The bar tender was able to fix up some virgin mojitos. We placed orders for starters and mains. Food arrived, but for some strange reason our mains arrived before we had even had our starters delivered to our table. We cancelled the starters and decided to have our main. Food allergies were mentioned to our server but unfortunately they got this very wrong, not impressed. We had no cutlery, napkins, no mention of condiments. Quite promptly a Manager/Owner arrived to try and rectify the situation and apologise for the blunders. The food was amazing but it's just a shame that the service didn't follow suit. We were offered our dessert as a gesture of goodwill by Management which we greatly appreciated. This was our first visit to The Boatyard and would like to return. the four stars is for the lovely standard and quality of food.

Chic restaurant with a nice vibe, nice views of the water and, in summer, a large outdoor patio area. Food is very nicely presented. The salmon that my table had was immaculately cooked. The fillet steak I had, requested medium, came out essentially rare. It was a great cut and therefore still good but not being able to cook a 1.5 inch thick steak to the requested level is a little underwhelming. Finally service was pretty appealing, unreasonably slow. Overall a good place to go but you’ll have to be patient. Wide selection of drinks.
