Boathouse Cafe - Broxtowe

I really like this waterside cafe. It's like going back in time. Tony and his team are very welcoming. You can sit indoors or outdoors. I had oap fish and chips for £4 and it was excellent. In the winter it's open from 8.30 am to 3.30 pm every day. [I am not sure of opening times in summer. Also enjoy a local walk or cycle by the river and maybe visit the nearby Attenborough Nature Reserve.

We often stop off here for refreshment while passing on our bikes or walking past. Tony and the staff are very welcoming and the food is always great value, their cooked breakfast are very good. They do a good selection filled cobs toasties and bacon and sausage cobs. Coffee and tea in big mugs, great after a long walk. Have some of their cake to finish off with. The place is always busy and very popular. Nice in summer to sit and watch the boats passing on the river.

A good old fashioned cafe set by the river offering good food at reasonable prices. It's not posh but you get service with a smile (Tony is very friendly), a good large mug of tea and you definitely won't leave hungry! Perfect stop off if you're visiting Attenborough Nature Reserve or walking along The Big Track. We visited with the family this time and tucked into various (really filling) sandwiches of veggie sausage, roast veg and mozzarella and fried egg. Delicious! An excellent pit stop. Go eat!

From J Boy of Derby Did the long riverside walk from Attenborough and found this gem of a cafe by chance. Everything was first class, lovely mug of tea and fantastic bacon rolls with good quality generous portions of bacon. Very friendly owner who made you feel at home, outside seating as well as indoors available Great place on a warm day to sit by the river. Everyone is catered for here there is a covered smoking area and a sandpit for children. Great place, will certainly walk here again. Car park just behind the cafe and a bus stop just outside. Oh yes the prices are very reasonable

Dropped in for the first time today and had a nice value for money burger with tea served by a jovial and friendly owner. Glad we called and it is on the list for future visits when we visit Attenborough Reserve, Beeston parkrun and Nottingham.
