Boathouse Eatery, located in the heart of Mooragh Park, Ramsey, is a vibrant and stylish café and bistro known for its welcoming atmosphere, scenic location, and fresh, locally sourced food. Run with passion and personality by Simon and Jen, the Boathouse has quickly become a firm favourite with both locals and tourists. Whether you're stopping in for a morning coffee, enjoying a long lunch with friends, or treating yourself to an elegant evening meal, Boathouse Eatery offers a memorable experience from start to finish.
Set against the backdrop of the lake and gardens, the Boathouse’s waterside location makes it a perfect place to relax and enjoy everything from brunch to bistro-style dinners. The interior is smart, cosy, and modern, with warm lighting and a layout that balances a bustling café feel with the intimacy of a local eatery.
Daytime offerings include an extensive menu of breakfast and lunch options. Expect homemade cakes, artisan coffees, and brunch staples like Noa bagels, sourdough toasties, and seasonal salads. A mix of hearty and health-conscious dishes ensures there’s something for everyone, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options readily available.
Come evening, the Bistro Menu takes centre stage, available Wednesday to Saturday from 5.30pm to 8.30pm. Starters include the rich and flavourful French Onion Soup, decadent Shellfish Bisque, or the light and fresh Beetroot Carpaccio with walnuts, rocket, and parmesan. For mains, dishes such as the Lemon Chicken Piccata, Pan-Fried Hake, and Salmon Thai Curry showcase the kitchen’s flair for combining international influences with local produce. Vegetarians are well catered for too, with options like the Aubergine Parmigiana and Asparagus & Pea Risotto offering bold flavours and generous portions.
For those with a craving for something indulgent, the Boathouse Burger Menu is packed with personality. Served in a fluffy challah bun with twice-cooked chips and homemade slaw, burgers include the classic Cheeseburger, zesty Peri-Peri Chicken, fruity Hawaiian, vegetarian Halloumi, and the stacked Chuck Wagon, loaded with Manx cheddar, bacon, lettuce, and tomato salsa.
On Sundays, the kitchen turns its attention to comforting classics with their hugely popular Sunday Roasts, served from 12pm to 2.30pm. Expect plates piled high with roast beef or Balinese pork, crispy roasties, Yorkshire puddings, seasonal vegetables, and all the trimmings. The roasts are available for dine-in or takeaway, but booking ahead is highly recommended due to high demand.
Desserts are not to be missed. Options like the Seasonal Crumble, Warm Chocolate Brownie, Affogato, and Lemon Posset are perfect for rounding off your meal, or for simply enjoying with a hot drink. There’s also a Cheeseboard, ideal for sharing with a glass of wine or a liqueur coffee.
With its laid-back charm, high-quality food, friendly service, and stunning setting, Boathouse Eatery is one of Ramsey’s culinary gems—whether you're a foodie, a family, or just someone looking for a cosy bite by the lake.
