The Boathouse is set by the beautiful sandy beach and dunes at Dawlish Warren. Once inside, you’ll be greeted by our smiley team and family friendly atmosphere.
Downstairs, we strive to create a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, with comfy sofas, snug booths and quiet corners, whilst upstairs the sweeping ocean views and stunning coastline allow for a truly memorable dining experience.
In the summer months, why not dine al-fresco style on our balconies and beer gardens, looking out to Exmouth over the gorgeous Exe Estuary. In the evenings, enjoy our intimate heat lamps on the top terrace, whilst sharing a bottle of fizz, or tasting our tempting cocktails!
Our family business has taken great pride in serving you for over thirty years; we invite you to join us and share in the luxury that is Dawlish Warren.
We look forward to welcoming you soon!

Karen GJuly 21, 2025Verified Our must-visit place every time we’re in the Warren We visit Dawlish Warren every year, and The Boathouse is always top of our list. It’s perfect for families—our group of 7 easily found a table with no fuss. The food is consistently great. We had the homemade spaghetti bolognese, katsu curry, and sticky Tennessee sesame chicken with rice—all tasty and well presented. The kids’ portions are generous, which is always a bonus! The cakes are a real highlight—huge slices, really fresh, and they offer a cake and hot drink deal for just over £5 every day. Great value and perfect after a beach walk. Only minor downside is the breakfast menu—it’s just a full English, which might not suit fussier eaters. But otherwise, the experience is always spot on. Parking is super affordable too—just over £6 for 24 hours in the Warren, making it easy to make a full day of it. Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, and great views—we’ll be back again next year! Kay HJuly 20, 2025Verified Great family lunch. Lovely lunch. 2nd visit for food and drinks Food very good, fresh and plentiful. Family of 4, 2 half roast chickens, Boathouse chicken salad, chicken fajitas. Well prepared and presented. Excellent service from our 2 friendly waitresses, service with a smile. Thank you. Looking forward to visiting again for another meal whilst on holiday. Good surroundings, plenty of space and clean. Excellent value for money. The nachos and beef brisket with fries last week we had last week were sublime. Music a little loud for our liking, interferes with conversation for us, we have hearing pairment. But still enjoyed our visit. Thank you. John ForresterJuly 18, 2025Verified Excellent Food Excellent food and a lovely relaxing atmosphere. I had steak and chips, it was very very good. A melt in your mouth steak. Delicious Caz KJuly 17, 2025Verified Loved the food. Would go again if in the area Went it twice while on holiday, both times the staff were very friendly and did not have to wait long for our meals. The restaurant was very clean the only downside was the toilets as they is hardly any room to walk into the room and they were a bit smelly. Michelle MJuly 4, 2025Verified Amazing We came here when we first arrived in Devon. The food was amazing and the pub itself is quirky and pirate themed. We sat on the top deck, overlooking the sea. We came back for our last meal of the holiday, and the food wasn't as good, however the manager sorted this quickly and apologised profusely. Thus restaurant is a must if you are visiting dawlish CRAIG GJune 20, 2025Verified Amazing food and views Just spent 5 days eating and drinking at the boat house and i have to say we have had some of the most incredible food I have ever had the sticky sesame chicken and the steaks are to absolutely to die for as for the chicken dishes and rib dishes just omg tender incredibly well cooked and perfect and as for the cakes and desserts omg I would get so fat lol but thanks again for an amazing week of amazing food and drinks and cocktails see you again soon
