Fresh, British, Seasonal Menu

We take pride in celebrating the best of North Devon, from the freshest, sustainably caught fish delivered straight from day boats to tender, locally reared Exmoor steaks bursting with flavour. Our menu is a love letter to the coast and countryside, thoughtfully crafted to satisfy every appetite, including vibrant vegan and vegetarian dishes that never compromise on taste.

Sip on a crisp Provencal Rosé, savour a perfectly poured pint of Young’s Original bitter, or enjoy a refreshing, “driver-friendly” non-alcoholic cocktail. Whether you’re in the mood for a light bite, a comforting pub classic, or one of our daily seafood specials, our beachside bar and restaurant promise an unforgettable dining experience, where every dish comes with a side of stunning coastal views.

Christmas Dining

From cosy catch-ups to larger festive gatherings, celebrate by the water in style. Pick your date, gather your favourites, and we’ll take care of the rest – expect hearty seasonal feasts, wintery tipples, and plenty of sparkle.

Head Chef Jamie Coleman

For over three years, our Head Chef, Jamie Coleman, has been at the helm of The Boathouse kitchen, crafting incredible dishes and leading the team with his 18 years of head chef experience.

Sundays are all about long afternoons, Exmoor beef roasts with all the trimmings, rich red wine, and comforting puddings – all with the tide rolling in as your backdrop. Here at Boathouse Instow, they’re made for relaxing, indulging, and soaking up the magic of the coast.
