Harbourside gastropub with standout Sunday roasts, big portions, and lovely views; service is generally friendly but can feel rushed at peak times and drinks pricing divides opinion.
The Working Boat delivers solid neighbourhood gastropub dining anchored by strong food quality—particularly celebrated Sunday roasts with generous portions and proper execution—and exceptional harbour and marina views that justify its waterfront location. However, inconsistent execution during peak times, with reports of rushed service and occasional greasy sides, prevents the grade from climbing higher. It's a reliable choice for classic British comfort food and scenic dining, competitive with the area's better neighbourhood restaurants, though it lacks the polish or distinction of premier local establishments.
One caveat: Parking can be limited; quay turn is tight
