Waterside dining for everyone

Welcome to The Boathouse, your relaxed waterside spot at Hythe Marina for good food, drinks and harbour views. We are open to everyone, from families and local regulars to marina guests and visitors looking for an easy going place to eat.

Fresh food, from light bites to hearty mains

Whether you are here for a quick lunch or a lingering evening meal, our menu has you covered. Choose from homemade sandwiches and baguettes, light bites and sharing plates, fresh salads and a changing selection of seasonal dishes. If you are in the mood for something more filling, you can enjoy crowd pleasing favourites such as burgers, grills and classic mains prepared in our open kitchen.

Our food is designed to be enjoyed in a relaxed way. It works just as well for a laid back family meal as it does for a more special occasion with friends or a partner.

Spaces to suit every visit

You can choose the setting that feels right for you on the day. The main restaurant offers a cosy, sit down space that suits couples, families and small groups. The bar and lounge area feel more informal, ideal for drinks, snacks and relaxed meet ups.

On bright days, the deck gives you the chance to eat and drink in the open air with the marina right beside you. Inside, there are also quieter tables on the lower level that work well for guests who prefer a more tucked away spot, while still enjoying the same menu and service.

Family friendly, relaxed and welcoming

We aim to keep things simple, friendly and relaxed. Families are very welcome and our team are happy to help with high chairs and children’s needs where possible. Locals pop in for coffee, hotel guests join us for breakfast and dinner, and marina visitors often drop by for drinks after a walk.

Whether you come in smart casual for a date night or in comfortable clothes after a stroll along the water, you will feel at home here.

Drinks with a harbour view

Our bar serves a mix of classic and modern drinks that suit every mood. You can enjoy freshly made coffee, soft drinks, beers, wines and a selection of spirits and cocktails. Many guests like to sit with a drink and watch the boats come and go, especially when the sun is out and the light reflects across the marina. It is a great place to meet friends for a relaxed drink, have a pre dinner cocktail or finish your evening with something from the bar.

Perfect for many occasions

The Boathouse works for a wide range of occasions. You can:

  • call in for a quick bite at lunchtime
  • bring the family for a relaxed weekend meal
  • meet friends in the bar or on the deck for drinks and snacks
  • enjoy a more special evening with a partner, with the water as your backdrop

If you are staying in one of our rooms, you will find it very easy to turn a short break into a complete waterside experience with breakfast, lunch or dinner right on your doorstep.
