The Boathouse on the Lea - (Near Hackney, South East)

1 /5 Cristina “Criss”: Manager and chef need a training on costumers service and health and safety. They are rude, they were shouting to a parent who ask to use the loo for his little girl, for no reason. The parent was happy to purchase something but the manager shout at him that he needs to go at the end of the queue, all the people on the queue were happy to let him pass so the little girl could use the toilet but she refused to serve him. At the top of this the chef while was shouting for no reason while touching the toilet handle and other dirty surfaces, came back in the kitchen and started to cook without washing his hands. Lack of manner and hygiene

4 /5 Dennis Bauszus: We stop here every now and then for a coffee and sometimes breakfast. I do like to sit outside with a few over the canal and the marina. The breakfast is delicious apart from the sausages which are not so much to my liking here.

5 /5 Ben Slater: We had Sunday lunch here and loved the upstairs area. Its a place with lots of soul, with relaxed family & kid friendly vibes and lots of good views over the canal. Roasts were super tasty, and everyone seemed friendly. A stones throw from the edge of Springfield Park :)

1 /5 Rebeca G: As long as you’re a person who doesn’t ever make use of their urinary or digestive system, this is a perfectly nice café. There are not many toilets in the area but Antonia, the chef/manager (?) would rather have people soil themselves on site than running the risk of letting a non-customer use the facilities. What a sad and rude human being.

5 /5 alejandro gortazar: At The House Boat on the Lea café, the exceptional service provided by the entire staff, particularly the warm hospitality of Antonia and Francisco, stands out. The extensive breakfast options, coupled with the inviting atmosphere overlooking the sunny riverside, offer a delightful experience. The picturesque view of the River Lea adds to the overall charm of this café.
