A quirky little place with a big heart. Staff very helpful and polite. Breakfast is superb. Pricingof drinks very reasonable and great entertainment at the weekend.

Great Sunday lunch. Plenty of vegetables and tasty gravy. We had the roast beef which was cut thickly and the chicken breast. Just like home cooked. Service was very good too. Recommend.

With the nights drawing in and a chill in the air, the lovely outside marquee overlooking the river is only for the hardy. We hadn't been inside for years but thought it was time to give it a go. Our worse fears were that it would be half empty and cold. It was quite the reverse - warm and buzzing with customers. We were glad that we had booked a table - even though it is huge, all the tables were full (although there is an area upstairs that we didn't see). Despite the fact that they were busy the staff couldn't have been more efficient and charming. The menu was quite small but there were some specials on the board above the bar. All in all, another restaurant in Chepstow that I can recommend. We are quite well served now in the town - it was a bit bleak during the pandemic.

Can't comment on the rooms as haven't stayed but The Boat has become our new 'local' when visiting family in Chepstow. It is in a fab location right on the river with lots of outdoor space- perfect on a sunny afternoon. Can really recommend their Sunday Roasts (worth booking in advance as they're popular!). Great service from the team and good bar selection.

Lovely place to have a drink on a summer day with live music playing when I went. Busy but lively place. Didn't stay so gave the rooms a 4 as didn't want to 0 it as I'm sure they are fine :)

Food was appalling. Chips cold and curled up and greasing probably made early that morning and left. When complained (staff excellent) obviously placed in microwave but failed to remove lemon slice and small bowl of tata sauce. So these were hot! Chips still solid, curled up and greasy but now hot. Scampi hotter but now overcooked. Saw what others had and they had fresh chips. Overall expensive poor quality meal. Never go there again.

The ultimate roast dinner can be found at The Boat Inn Chepstow! Worth every single penny! Plus even better to wash it down with a Pint of Hoff ?! Plus it’s dog friendly! ? would highly recommend!

Nine of us, 6 adults and three children, with quite different food requirements, went for lunch during a 50th wedding anniversary weekend. We sat upstairs on a galleried landing in a timbered hall that had a lovely atmosphere. The food was of a high quality and good sized portions, even the children's portions were very generous. The 'special' Chicken and Ham pie was amazing .. so much filling, and the Cajun Salmon was delicious. The service was very attentive, especially Joel, and everybody seemed to care that we were happy with our meal. Highly recommended. Well done 'The boat Inn'. We will return. Rob n Sally
Visited on the 27/08/23. Visited a few times and still can't complain about the food. BUT....this visit I have to say, was a let down at the end. Ordered a large Rośe with a dash of soda and a large Hoff. To see the 2 drinks sat on the bar waiting to be delivered was disappointing. When they finally arrived to find ice added to the Rośe. When questioned about the ice I returned the drink. Then to watch the manager tell staff just to scoop out the ice and listen to the ice hitting the sink. Sorry but that is POOR management. The ice would have started melting and watering down the drink. Only at my request I demanded a new drink I finally got what I ordered. In future the manager should know better that we are the paying customer and we shouldn't have to pay for there mistakes esp being given water downed drinks. Also charging 40 pence for a splash of soda, ABSOLUTELY SCANDALOUS. Should be wearing a mask if your going to rob your customers like that. Like i said a splash, not half a pint. Truly look forward to your correspondence on this matter.

I haven't been to The Boat for years! Lovely, friendly staff, fab food with gluten free options. Yummy desserts! ? Options to sit inside, up or down or outside. Toilets aren't accessible with several steps up and down to them, which is a shame (but it is a very old building!).Food & drinks: Great menu. We chose meals from the lite-bites menu - they were big! Two of us had the gluten free fishcakes and had a portion of chips each - one portion would've been plenty between us! Loads of yummy puddings to choose from! Starters available, but we didn't order any.

Ok burger, bread a bit too hard. Better with a binoche I would suggest. V good fish and chips. No ale on, so had to make do with lager so not ideal.
