Perched on the tidal River Arun in the heart of the West Sussex countryside, this independent restaurant and bar is fast becoming the riverside retreat for locals and day-trippers alike.
Created by seasoned restaurateurs Jasper Gorst and Jamie Sherriff, The Boathouse blends over two decades of London hospitality know-how with a deep love of food, travel, and storytelling.
Every detail, from tables carved out of a single Lebanese Cedar to Kuba cloth from Africa and a bar crafted from an genuine old lock gate, brings character and soul to this truly unique space.
A Menu that Sings of the Med, though Rooted in Sussex
The Boathouse's kitchen celebrates the best of land, sea, and season, with Mediterranean-inspired dishes designed for sharing and savouring. Guests can look forward to:
Fish so fresh it was landed that very morning
Sussex-grown Nutbourne tomatoes, picked at their sun-ripe peak
Handmade pasta rolled daily in-house
Wood-fired pizzas which are already a firm local favourite
A hand-picked wine list featuring boutique finds and rare reserves
A Riverside Escape, All Year Round
Open Thursday to Sunday for lunch and dinner (Autumn-Winter hours), The Boathouse invites guests to drop in for cocktails and pizza or linger over a leisurely Sunday lunch with sweeping river views. This winter, Sunday Roasts will take centre stage, showcasing premium cuts from trusted UK and Irish farms.
Events to Warm the Season
Beyond the menu, The Boathouse is crafting experiences:
Soulful Sundays with local DJs for the perfect wind-down afternoons.
Exclusive wine-tasting dinners hosted by the producers for the curious and the connoisseurs.
Plus, cameos from beloved neighbours like Barry the Goose and the occasional seal named Henry, adding their own charm to riverside life.
Follow along on Instagram and Facebook for event details, behind-the-scenes stories, and a flavour of what makes The Boathouse more than just a restaurant, it's a riverside community. And it's close to Amberley train station.
