The Boat On The Rock

Really happy with service, staff are kind and generous, fantastic work! Manager was very professional , very well run hotel!

Really good service fantastic food and a good atmosphere. We both had nice time. Looking forward to the next time. Make sure you wear warm clothes.

Myself and my friend went to this little gem of a find for lunch.The service and overall atmosphere were brilliant. The food was exceptionally good we will definitely be returning.

We visited after a day on the water, looking forward to a drink bite to eat.We sat down outside, as requested and waited more than 30 minutes for service.Nobody served the one waiter made no attempt to engage with us, give menus or take orders.Really poor experience.

Although slightly cold weather we took blankets to sit outside and we were incredibly comfortable. Jules was amazing and had kept a table for us as promised. The wine and food was incredible. Fish and chips, chicken burger, gumbo soup and potato skins went down a treat. Luckily for us the wind had died down, the sun had come out and it was just fabulous to be out socialising with our friends after all these months. Highly recommended

Service was shocking, you would think with them being closed for such a long time they would want to make loads to make up the short fall. We waited 30 minutes for drinks and 30 more minutes for breakfast. The food was ok, bacon was tough and I had about 15 baked beans. They could coin in, if the service was better, we didn’t even get asked if our food was ok or if we would have liked another drink. Improvements could be made for sure!

We headed down Thursday evening to try their claim on having the “Best” burgers in Dorset. Absolutely winning on that claim. The food is outstanding. The staff were welcoming and accommodating. The manager is absolutely one you would hope to have if you were an employee. The vibe was amazing. We can’t wait for lockdown to lift more so we can eat inside, as it was chilly out. Their new simplified menu is definitely a winner. Try the Calamari. Oh and of course you must try the burgers!!!

It was lovely to sit out in the sun, still chilly so take a blanket. With regards to the food, I chose a seafood meal being near the sea, Tagliatelle with shrimp. It was very runny sauce, watery and the shrimp were like rubber : It wasn't very filling, I got food envy as my husband had the chicken burger which he said was nice and certainly more filling. They charge £1.50 per extra for the burger!! and the glass of lemonade should be bigger for the price of £1.75!! We will not be revisiting sadly as they need to up their game for value for money!!

Sat were told, no menu given. we saw other being placed with a menu... and ordering... and being served before getting a menu, 40 minutes later.finally got a drink... waiting for food, paid, got another menu, no thanks.... 1 hour after arriving finally got food..... we sat in the sun, we ate in the shade of the building.So, the food....? average, barely. They are super proud of their (over cooked) burger.... someone has to, but do not expect a wow effect, there is none.catch of he day? Cod. this is not a catch of he day, this is everyday fish.....really... will not come back again !!
