    I needed somewhere that a whole gang of family could meet from different parts of the country for a walk and lunch - I had never been to Boardwalk before but very glad i chose them. They were great when I had to add a couple of extra people at a later time and then on the actual day the whole meal was great from start to finish. Everybody was impressed with the food and the good service and easy ambiance made for a really enjoyable Sunday lunch. Everyone also commented what good value the food was too. Thank you to all

    The food was nice and the service was OK. Girls serving looked a bit hampered and the 2 meals we'd ordered were sat on the chefs countertop station for at least 5 mins waiting to be brought across to us. The place needs a full makeover though. It resembles a shopping centre food hall with mismatched furniture, cutlery and dodgy decor. Such a lovely setting could be much more appealing to draw people in from further away. But, like I said at first, we enjoyed our food.

    First time at the Boardwalk for Sunday lunch, everything about it was great, food, service, atmosphere, table looking out over the marina. Will definitely return.

    It was an excellent night out, great food and service. We had make your own tapas for 6, which we all enjoyed and there was plenty of food for all of us, at a great price. Well worth the value for money. Its been our fourth visit, its well worth the trip out.

    Sunday lunch was exceptional - for locals the quality and quantity surpasses the Blue Bell at Kirk Langley. This is the yard stick I use. Great service from the waiting staff. Highly recommended!

    Good tasty food. Lovely atmosphere. My only issue was there was limited menu choice (no beef or califlower cheese on a Sunday) and the dishes didn’t come out at the same time.
