The Boat House Cafe

Stopped here for some lunch on a busy day. Food was excellent, chips were nice and my cod was cooked well with a lovely light batter. My daughters nuggets were really good and she is usually very fussy about nuggets. Service was excellent too and Jessie who served us was very helpful and really lovely.

Easter Monday, 2022. Number 1 breakfast I've rocked up to the esplanade with a few thousand other bikers and picked this establishment as it was the first I come to - best choice I'll make all day! The sausages are well chosen - tender, flavourful and high quality, the bacon was cooked to *chef's kiss* perfection (the Achilles heel of many a greasy spoon) and the fried slice tasted like it was shallow fried (that's a hen's teeth menu item). All the ladies there were quick, efficient and seemed to be buzzing to be there today. As for the menu - it might look like a greasy spoon cafe, but I've never seen eggs Benedict on a cafe menu before... and if my meal is anything to go by, there will be no skimping on portion or quality. If I can find one little niggle, it's the fact that I live the other side of the Thames estuary from here, so I won't be able to be a regular... but as long as all concerned keep on doing what they do, I'll be happy to come in whenever I'm around.
