Reknown in the area for its huge platefuls.
The Steaks & Mixed Grills are something to behold.
It being at one time, as the name suggests, the ferry-boat house to reach Methley at the other side of the River Aire.
For Rugby fans it might be a place to visit as the land-lord was (so I'm told) a Castleford, & Subsequently, an England player.
There are displays of his memorabilia in the eating areas & bar. His name being Brian Lockwood
Guest beers appear & I believe they were starting to brew their own at the time of our last visit.
Oh, & it's allegedly haunted

Brian (the old landlord) left a few years back (great pity) a string of managers followed and then unfortunately the Boat shut for a while. It is now back open I am told but have not yet been - used to be a regular of mine when I lived in Allerton.
It was extened IIRC under Brians tenure and can now seat more than double what it could.
They did indeed start up their own micro brewery but I'm not sure what has become of this.

This truely is a Fish and Chip restaurant, not a cafe, (theres a takeaway round the side too).
This is where the Press, Media and players come for there fish and chips when the test match is on. You need to book a table at at least the previous test match if not earlier to get a table.
