Lovely Sunday roast with fresh well cooked vegetables. Good size portions, & well presented.

One word - superb!Joined our children and grandchildren for a family gathering. Made to feel extremely welcome. Food was excellent and they catered for the little ones brilliantly. Good portions and everyone extremely happy with their meal. The bar staff served my beer just as I wanted it so many thanks.Definitely going again as we passed by on our narrowboat.

Absolutely amazing. Went for lunch and the food was absolutely amazing, the portions are big and worth the money! The staff were extremely kind and welcoming and were helpful. Our food was served very quickly too.The tables and restaurant is very clean too. The atmosphere is good. Highly recommend!

Nice place. Particularly in summer. Too pricey

Lovely outside area, friendly staff and great beer

Food good and portion size good. Staff welcoming and it's dog friendly.

Nice and busy with the weather helping to a busy and great atmosphere

We had a lovely evening drink by the river in the sunshine. The staff where polite and the atmosphere was nice and chilled. The prices are reasonable and we may visit again for food.

I’d heard good things about this place, and came to find that it’s actually a disappointment. When we got there, the place was a mess outside - glasses, plates, menus, and rubbish left everywhere. At first I thought the staff must be busy, but when we came inside it was extremely quiet and both the staff members working were just stood around talking. In fact, the whole time we were there (over an hour) no one went to clear the outside area. On top of this, despite it being extremely quiet, the food took ages to arrive, although it was nice when it did eventually come. Unfortunately our cutlery bay was dirty and covered in old salt and crumbs. Overall, I would say we were quite disappointed with our visit and wouldn’t visit again.

Great location by the river, outside and inside tables, good food and views over the park & canal walks nearby.

Been a couple of times now, and planning to go again

Wonderful place, great service.

Top notch food and service.. Sunday dinner with kids. All plates cleaned.. very nice

Made by it's location, however anywhere you go in Saltaire is going to be a stunning place to be. Beautiful vista of the cricket picture and gardens and for the voyeur of life a beautiful place to have a solid pint.

We used the private terrace for our function on Saturday night and it was brilliant. We were well looked after by Thomas and the team. Hopefully we will be back next year!

Brilliant location, friendly staff, vibrant place, dog friendly (always a bonus with our Steven!) not had food yet...but ...it smells and looks beautiful (Steven needs to stay at home!)

Evan though the service and atmosphere is good,food not that much great

T'was a nice evening

Excelkent food and service at a reasonable price. Large portions!

Good value, big portions, should have ordered the smaller plates at £10. Nice seating indoors and outdoors. Very hip crowd, we felt so unfashionable among the crowds. Dog friendly.

Heerlijk Eend gegeten. Eend is niet makkelijk te maken maar de kok heeft er duidelijk verstand van. Vriendelijk personeel in de bediening.

Visited with family for tea. Booked ahead of time. Got drinks straight away but ordered food took just under an hour to come even though there were only 3 other families eating. Food was good, we all enjoyed what we had.

Fantastic service during a busy day, the staff are polite, informative and served with a smile. Delicious food and a lovely view of the river and park, great value for money. Love supporting local 🙂

With the riverside location of The Boathouse, alongside its location in a trendy part of Saltaire, I had high hopes for this place, which sadly weren’t met in terms of the atmosphere and food. I had pie, my partner scampi and my daughter sausage and mash - all which were verging on below average for the high price tag. The sausage was of a lesser quality than you’d find in your local chippy. I got a grand total of 9 chips with my pie (ignoring the fact I actually asked for mash). Great location for a pint by the river, but sadly not one I’ll be returning to for food.

Lovely little pub down on the waterside. Nice views across to the park. Very family friendly, with a decent amount of outdoor seating. Good range of beers.

What a gem. After days of a holiday high carbon diet it was good to have a chicken caesar salad & a very good one; finely shredded lettuce, really crispy croutons & generous amount of grilled chicken. My husband's risotto was also v good and they also do good Bloody Marys. Lovely staff, great view, such a lovely location. HUGE bonus is the background music at a perfect volume; ie in the background

They have a wide range of gluten free options and the best bit is they have a dedicated gluten free fryer.

Great spot, good food and friendly staff

Good riverside boozer. Excellent on a sunny day. Lots of outdoor seats.

Good beer and good food

Pictures show a more recent visit Sunday lunch at The Boathouse 15th February.Hubby had steak & ale pie, I had belly pork roast dinner around £20 each meal, was very good, highly recommend.Previous visit to The Boathouse from summer 2024Had loaded fries with cheese £5, I added chilli for an extra £1. Glass of soda water £1.Large portion very nice only downside was it was a bit dry even with the chilli on top.

Great food. Lovely friendly staff and very helpful

Great selection of food here, atmosphere was fantastic

Really friendly staff. and dog friendly so good for eating whilst you're out . And nice possession at side of river.

Fresh hot food.

First time visit for afternoon drinks... won't be the last!

Lovely place for Sunday lunch

OK pub restaurant. Reasonably quiet.

Great food, beers, views, service. Large portions, and good menu.

Excellent place with friendly staff

Good food at reasonable prices. I really enjoyed the vegetarian enchiladas

The Boathouse Inn is brilliantly located just up the road from Saltaire, right next to the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. The setting is picturesque and highly relaxing, especially when sitting outside.It offers a great pub experience with a wide selection of drinks and excellent food options. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to break a canal walk or enjoy a relaxing afternoon by the water.Highly recommended for the lovely location and solid pub quality!

We went for a roast dinner. It was quite expensive but the food was pretty tasty. The only issue was the lack of signposting for the vegetarian options. The main venue has v and ve symbols but not for the roast dinner section. I had to ask what aspects of the roast dinner would be vegetarian (eg. the gravy). We got a side of the sage and onion stuffing balls which didn't mention meat on the menu. When they arrived they had sausage meat or pork in them so I had to send them back. Fortunately my sister checked before I could eat them! When I asked for a refund the staff were a little bit tricky. Just be warned!

What a great place. Food was delicious, staff were lovely and a great location.There was, unfortunately for her, a woman on a blind date with a very boring needy man, we felt sorry for her but hopefully the great food made up for it. We will be back again. The blind date woman possibly not.

Great menu, friendly staff and quick service

Had lunch today and was excellent. Not one bad thing. Food was great, staff were fantastic and the price was great value for money too. Also had plenty of Gluten Free for the wife. Thank you

Food fantasic,good size portions.My husband had the rib eye steak which was cooked to perfection,i had the salmon again beautifuly cooked.would recommend both dishes.We also finished with deserts,Sticky toffee pud and coconut tart both very very good and would recommend.The staff are fantasic.

love it !

The front of house staff were friendly and helpful. The food was really disappointing. When we arrived we were told the only thing unavailable was the soup of the day, which was being made but wouldn't be ready for about an hour (this is at 12.30pm).But then, when we ordered, my choice of enchiladas wasn't available either. So I ordered the butternut squash risotto - but they didn't have any butternut squash. So I had my third choice of sun-dried tomato linguine. Luckily as a vegan that I had that many choices available to me on the menu, but just a shame I didn't get to try something a bit different - which is what had attracted me in the first place!The pasta was fine, nothing special (it wasn't linguine as it said on the menu, but fusilli - doesn't really matter, I guess).My husband had the duck leg - and the meat was completely overcooked and dry.We persevered with dessert, and had churros and lemon meringue pie - both fine... but overall the food was okay, just a bit 'meh'.It was such a shame, as this could be a real gem of a place with this gorgeous setting. Maybe the chef was just having a bad day, but it seems there's a real lack of attention to detail, and really poor stock control!

Great location by the riverside, plenty of outside tables, I bet it's packed in summerLimited to 2 hours parking on the road but free, large bar area and bench seats available in back room, all have riverside views.There were only 2 staff on duty when we went in , the only table free had a lot of empty glasses and plates on, so had to clear it myself, the server behind the bar said she would try but they were rushed off their feet with the lunchtime rushThe food was a bit expensive but we had a freshly baked baguette with beef and gravy, not proper roast beef, 1 slice prepacked, spinach and rocket with a garlic mayo, the skinny fries were amazing, served in a wooden tray, never had food served that way before.The butternut, sage and chilli risotto, was superb with Parmesan shavings, generous portion .Decent pint of Timothy Taylors Landlord bitter, good range of ales available, dog friendly always a bonus.

Been here a few times, and as a vegan it's I've always felt very accommodated for, which is not what I find often. Great location, lovely, lovely staff and the food is delicious, and big portions!

Food 🐝 and service excellent atmosphere good but not 5*.

Cosy atmosphere, excellent customer service. Honest and non-judgemental. Very happy to help in answering questions about the food.Very good selection of hot and cold meals on the menu.Important note to be made. Nothing on the menu is for a halal diet although there are vegetarian options.They do serve fish and chips fried in vegetable oil but, they use beer batter for the fish.Large selection of alcoholic drinks but soft drinks, teas and coffees available too.Toilets, male and female also a family one with baby changing facilities.Lovely views of the swans through the big windows, would be even better in the summer.The bar and restaurant is dog friendly as long as the owners keep the dogs on their leads and off the furniture.We enjoyed our visit. It was quiet and cosy to sit and enjoy the atmosphere.

Great pub and place to have a nice coffee.

Nice place best to book if eating though.

An excellent restaurant in a lovely location. Perfect tastes, professional services and friendly environment. A unique experience for a traveler to Bradford!

Had a tasty lunch, and a good pint. Was served quickly even though the place was unusually busy because of a special event in Saltaire

Lovely little place near the river overlooking the park. Called in for a coffee. Staff friendly and lovely coffee.

Great real Ale and fantastic riverside location with ample outdoor seating.

Very busy pub, we ate in the restaurant and the food was great. Very reasonably priced and very good service. Even checked at Salts Mill for us what time the car park shut as my phone wouldn't connect to WiFi.

Best chicken pie I've had for a long time. Pleasant atmosphere and a good location overlooking the river.

Great Little stop. Had fun

A lovely place,across from another famous location - Roberts park.Service very efficient, pat for food ad the bar. Little plates for us,nachos,fish cakes,chicken wings. Yum,yum.Reasonable prices,lovely views,friendly staff.Highly recommended

Bobed in for a drink and some dinner, had there chicken, leek and ham pie, very nice it was too. Very nice place to go when the sun is out

I had a fabulous chicken curry. Good grooms and a lovely place to sit.

Decent bar with bar food, sat on the river so great views when sat outside.

Time slows down when you enter, the sunset, the park, the river... Great place!

Fabulous, idyllic location but very disappointing food. All three of my party chose baguettes ... all us found the soft white rolls tasteless. My cheese and ham salad version had a piece of ham, a tiny sprinkling of grated cheese a little tasteless tomato and lettuce and a miniscule sliver of onion. The branston pickle was quite tasty though! The chips were tepid and limp. And we had to request having the table wiped three times.

Fantastic location

My wife booked today's Sunday lunch outing to the boat house, having never been before.I am always dubious of trying new places, as I find good places to eat hard to come by. (Being an ex chef, we gave high expectations)So we arrived early, which wasn't a problem as they had a table available. We ordered and very promptly our food arrived. All hot and delicious. Wonderful value for money. I can't recommend highly enough. Well done to the whole team. Next time we are in Saltaire we will be back.

Really lovely place to eat by the river, overlooking the park. Service was very friendly. The food was very average, however, and let down the whole experience.

Felt this was a very average pub and eatery , not a great atmosphere , service was ok, food was ok - presentable and tasty , as the only pub in the village perhaps had a greater expectation.

We called in for a drink yesterday with lots of seating inside and out . A good selection of beers and spirits.Bright open and welcoming.We stood outside to watch the geese and swans but there was plenty of seating for those that wanted it.Clean well maintained bathrooms .We didn't eatIt looked like they could cater for functions too as a birthday party was just leaving when we arrived .Will definitely return.

A calm and pleasant bar and restaurant with a lovely view.

We visited here recently during the week for food and drinks. It was a lovely evening so it was quite busy but we had pre-booked. The Boathouse is set in a lovely area down by the river and near a lovely green open space area. The food we ordered was excellent and the lady serving us was lovely and very customer focused.

We arrived lunchtime minus booking, a table was found, customer service second to none, unsure what to order, chose beef pie and chicken pie. Partner avoids pastry and pies, it was the best chicken pie and shortcrust ever... we will be back.

Love it here. Go often for food and sometimes just for a drink stop.Great in on a sunny day as it look out over the river and park, they open the bifolds up to bring the outside in.Shame it shuts at 9pm for drinks and they stop taking food orders at 7.45 and won't budge if your 5 mins late. Deffo a day time or tea time place.

Gorgeous pub, beautiful view and great food.

Lovey quaint place. Good food...

Been a few times, great food and a great view over the river.

Great staff. Lovely food. Great service. What more do you won't

Stopped here for a couple of drinks after a walk along the canal. Great views of the river and park. Good selection of beers.

Good service and terrific views over the river and park

Mums birthday, staff helpful and friendly

Met my daughter for a quick coffee and a bite ,all good !

Very friendly staff and lovely place. Ordered lunch in this occasion and it was very filling, and delicious. I'd definitely go back if in the area again

Beautiful location on the river at Saltaire. Lovely decor and wide range of food and drinks. Excellent prices and the food was very tasty. My Caesar Salad had two very large pieces of chicken. My friend who is coeliac was well catered for. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Water and treats available for dogs too.

A bit too dog friendly for me otherwise excellent 😀

Stopped off for some food. Had scampi and chips which was fab. The views were fantastic, and the weather was nice to stand outside. Lots of seating options. Fairly busy but service was decent.

We had a really lovely meal here yesterday (Saturday)! The view was lovely and the atmosphere was great. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We had fish, chips, and mushy peas - the portions were huge! Very good for the price, and really delicious, fresh, homemade food. For two fish and chips, a pint and a lemonade, it was just over £40, which was very reasonable for the quality and portion size. We would happily return.

Delicious hot food, great selection of beers, welcoming friendly & helpful staff. Nice location. Good place to stop for refreshment. Not too busy. Reasonable prices.

Really tasty food and good service. In a very good location and a great view of the river Aire

Lovely restaurant/pub, local beers on sale, only visited for a drink this time.Problems with card machine meant long queues, they did their best to keep the customers happy, cash is still king!

Location molto suggestiva, menu abbastanza variegato, carne molto buona e piatti abbondanti, birre locali alla spina, Qualità buona ma prezzo leggermente alto.

Lovely food, good beers and terrific views.

Great location sat between leeds n liverpool canal and river aire.. facing Robert Park

Bières locales très bonnes Cuisine très gourmande et je suis française donc très exigeante. On s'est régalé. Site apaisant avec sa vue sur la rivière et le grand parc

Love this place. Great location, the views are fantastic, menu is really varied and the vegetarian selection is particularly good for a pub. Homemade curries are way better than usual pub curry. Beer and drinks are good. Kids and dogs are welcome. There's no TV. It's really good! The only downside is it closes at 9 pm.

really nice lunch by the river terrific food the sun was shining whats not to like? The pork pie was a revelation highly recommended
