I recently had the pleasure of visiting the renowned BocheToddy Pub Restaurant, and I must say, it was an experience worth sharing. The establishment is a delightful fusion of a restaurant and a modern toddy shop, offering not just delectable cuisine but also activities like pedal boating and fishing, making it a perfect spot for family outings.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by charming Boche statues, setting a playful yet traditional tone for the venue. The interior took me by surprise with its Middle Asian flair, reminiscent of the cozy ambiance of Thai pubs. The seating arrangement was thoughtfully organized, ensuring comfort and privacy.
The culinary journey was exceptional, featuring local delicacies such as Kerala Porotta, Kallappam, Paalappam, and the standout dish, Kozhi Karimulagu Shappu Style Roast. The chicken curry, rich in flavor and adequately spiced, paired wonderfully with the bread, especially the Paalappam, which quickly became my favorite.
The attentive staff contributed significantly to the dining experience, striking a balance between professionalism and warmth. The pricing was reasonable, and the day's special varieties of toddy, particularly the Pulari-Kallu with its sweet undertones, were a delightful complement to the meal.
compromising service quality, along with ample parking space, adds to its appeal as a go-to destination for both locals and visitors.
I thought you might enjoy exploring this gem during your next visit to Kerala. It's a place that offers a taste of local culture with a modern twist.

Boche Toddy Pub, particularly the one located in Nayarambalam, Vypin, Kochi, has garnered a fair bit of attention for its unique approach to the traditional Kerala toddy shop experience. Unlike the typical rustic toddy shops, Boche aims for a more contemporary, family-friendly, and almost "resort-like" ambiance. Upon arrival, visitors are often struck by the spacious setup and the range of activities available, which go beyond just food and drink. There are mentions of speed boats, pedal boats, fishing, swings for adults, a kids' play area, and even a DJ zone, making it a potential spot for a longer outing with family or friends. The presence of AC cabins and a wheelchair-friendly environment also indicate an effort to cater to a broader clientele. However, the reviews for Boche Toddy Pub are quite mixed, particularly concerning the core offerings: the toddy and the food. While some praise the "nadan" (local) food as delicious and the toddy as good, a significant number of reviews express disappointment. Common complaints include the food being overpriced, bland (with specific mentions of flavorless duck curry), and the portions being less than generous. The quality of both food and toddy is also reported to have deteriorated over time by some patrons. Service is another point of contention. While some highlight "top-notch" and "friendly" staff, others recount experiences of slow service, long waiting times for food (even when not crowded), and cancelled orders due to delays. The overall sentiment suggests that while Boche Toddy Pub excels in creating a pleasant ambiance and offering recreational activities, the consistency and quality of its food and toddy, as well as the service efficiency, can be inconsistent. It seems to be a place where the experience can vary greatly, so managing expectations regarding the culinary aspect is advisable. It's more of a "hangout destination" with toddy and food, rather than a traditional toddy shop prioritizing just the authentic toddy and...
