The Boathouse Diner

Good Food, Warm Welcomes, and Easy Dining

Relaxed, comforting bites, family favourites, and a fully licensed bar—our welcoming diner is here to take care of the cooking and the hospitality.

Whether you are winding down after an afternoon by the lakes, taking a breather while the kids explore the adventure play park, meeting up with friends, or simply fancy taking the evening off from cooking, the Willow Holt Diner is the place to be.

It is a brilliant, warm, and cozy space designed for good company and easy comfort food. Settle indoors with a steaming mug of tea, coffee, or a rich hot chocolate, enjoy a chilled beer, cider, or glass of wine from our licensed bar, or grab a hot takeaway to enjoy back at your pitch.
