The Boathouse Plymouth

My partner asked about the fish fingers shape to the owner/manager, he was very cocky and quite rude in his reply and my partner is not one to complain! My daughter is autistic so she can be funny about shapes and oddities. His words were “no offence but it’s a fish finger”!! Obviously when it came out, it was shaped nothing like a uniformed fish finger! Sometimes just have a bit patience and think to why someone might be asking the question!!

We were sat indoors and then they decided to open the blind above our heads so we had to sit indoors with our sunglasses on! We then moved tables to avoid the direct sunlight.

I had fish and chips. Fish was very greasy, straight out of the pan and on to my chips. When I moved the fish, the chips were saturated in grease.

My daughter had mussels but in her broth was a blue piece of plastic. The staff were very good to be fair and gave us a £7.50 deduction at the end.

All the staff were good apart from the owner, must be the owner, only someone who owned the business could be that cocky! Best thing he can do, is stay quiet and out of sight really and rely on his staff to make him money.

Very expensive, £20 for fish and chips. Portion size was even smaller than last time we went last year!

My partner and other daughter enjoyed their mussels.

I suppose if you’re into more rare dishes such as mussels etc which you don’t find at just any restaurant, then give them a try but if it’s fish and chips or something fairly standard which you’re going to order, you can get the same size portion at Morrisons cafe or other places a lot cheaper and they’re less than half the price and I enjoyed it just as much!

People don’t have money to throw around. To sum up, this isn’t fine dining. It’s just above average quality but at a cost. I would only go again if I was after something particularly fishy as it’s their speciality as a fish restaurant.
