A Hampshire restaurant renowned for its picturesque views of the River Hamble has
announced its reopening date where it will reveal its spectacular rebuild.

Boathouse Swanwick, which is in Premier Marinas’ Swanwick Marina, will throw
open its doors to the public on Friday 2nd August after being closed since October
2023 following a complete demolition and rebuild on an extended footprint.
This grand opening will be the long-awaited and much-anticipated first opportunity
for foodies and the local community to see the transformation of the much-loved
former restaurant and bar into the outstanding new venue that it has become.
The stunning new venue will offer its guests a restaurant, bar and coffee shop and
an exclusive south-facing terrace on the banks of the glorious River Hamble with
outdoor seating perfect for balmy summer evenings shared with family and friends.
Boathouse is part of the Ideal Collection group of five high-quality venues across
Hampshire and West Sussex, which aim to provide unique informal hospitality.
Managing director Oliver Weeks said he had been watching the venue taking shape
and coming to life with increasing excitement and anticipation.
Oliver said: “This project has been a long time in the planning, but it has been worth
the wait. So many people have worked so hard to make our plans for this venue a
reality, and I’m really looking forward to finally opening our doors.”
“We want to offer guests an unbeatable dining experience at Boathouse Swanwick.
This venue will allow us to offer so much more including a variety of events, outdoor
waterside drinks and dining or just a place to stop off for a takeaway coffee.”
Oliver added: “Ideal Collection was born out of a passion for great hospitality and
supporting the very best local produce. Our mission is to bring joy to people’s lives
every day, and we want this to shine through in each of our venues.”
The demolition and rebuild of Boathouse Swanwick is an integral part of Premier
Marinas’ upgrade and redevelopment of Swanwick Marina and as such they have
invested a significant seven figure sum into redeveloping the new Boathouse in
collaboration with Ideal Collection, for the benefit of berth holders, marina tenants
and visitors alike.
John Cervenka, Chief Operations Officer at Premier Marinas, said: “Boathouse
Swanwick has been a long time in the making. We’re thrilled the designs we worked
on together are now starting to come off the page, and I know the venue will be
warmly welcomed when it makes its debut.”
Boathouse Swanwick will be open from 5pm on Friday 2nd August. Although fully
booked for dinner on opening night, some walk-ins may be available and the bar and
Lobster Hatch will both be open for al fresco dining and socialising on the outside
deck overlooking the river.
Boathouse Swanwick will be open seven days a week for breakfast, brunch, lunch,
afternoon teas and evening dinner and drinks. The integrated coffee shop will be
open for hot drinks and snacks to have in or take-away.
