The Boathouse

quay road isn't where you end up by accident. it's a deliberate detour, the kind you make when you want something worth the walk. the boathouse has built a quiet reputation along christchurch's waterside stretch, and that kind of local standing doesn't come from foot traffic alone. people come back. that's the whole story, really. if you're plotting a morning in christchurch, the area around bh23 puts you close to the stour and avon confluence, which is already a decent reason to be outside. pair that with a proper flat white before the town fills up, and you've got the morning sorted before most people have figured out where they're going.
