Yes, Boatwerks offers several items made without gluten-containing ingredients, and this is denoted on our menus. However, our kitchen is not a gluten-free environment, so it is possible these menu items could come into contact with gluten during preparation.

Our holiday hours vary depending on the holiday. Boatwerks is closed on Christmas and New Year’s day to allow our team to spend time with family and friends.

Please note that Boatwerks may close early on holidays or days before holidays at the discretion of the management team. Please call to ensure we are open if you are planning to visit us close to closing time on those days.

At RedWater Restaurants, our primary focus is on in-restaurant dining. However, we do offer some limited catering options that can be found on our RedWater Events website. Please contact our RedWater Events team for more information.
