Wow. What you find hidden away. Good breakfast selection, fry up and healthy. A few good lunch options as well. Shop with some vegan offerings Updated from previous review on 2019-08-26

We visited The Boathouse to sample their extensive vegan menu. I opted for the Vegan Sausage Fritatta and was gutted to receive an egg based dish. The server told me the sausages within the fritatta were vegan but not the fritatta itself. I informed them that vegan was a ethical term and as such serving a vegan dish with eggs is misleading. They apologised, had no trouble swapping my meal for a different choice (although I'm aware I still contributed to the demand of eggs which defeats the purpose of being vegan really). Please be aware of this and ask exactly which components of each meal is Vegan. I chose the vegan sausage sandwich in with scrambled tofu instead and it was lovely.

This is one of my favourite places to visit when I come home. It's perfect for any occasion and their food is unreal. I can highly recommend their Big Greenhouse sharing board which I usually eat by myself because it's too good to share. I also recently tried their jackfruit bacon which was immense and I'll be back soon for a bacon' sandwich. The staff are all really lovely and helpful so this gets a big thumbs up from me!

We’re really impressed with the quality of food the homemade vegan haggis is delicious and the tofu scramble isn’t trying to be scrambled eggs, it’s just really well cooked, really well seasoned. The cafe is lovely and feels bustling but not busy. Lovely, attentive staff.
