Question 1

Is The Boat House halal certified?

Accepted Answer

We couldn't find any evidence that The Boat House has a halal certification. While it is listed on a popular dining website as having 'halal options', the restaurant itself doesn't make any halal claims on its own website or social media. They also serve pork and alcohol, so we recommend you speak to them directly about how they can cater for you.

Question 2

Do they serve alcohol or pork?

Accepted Answer

Yes, The Boat House serves both pork and alcohol. Menu items like 'Slow roasted pork belly' are available, and the restaurant has an extensive wine and cocktail list. They frequently host events where alcohol is a central feature.

Question 3

Is the meat hand slaughtered (zabihah)?

Accepted Answer

We found no information to suggest that the meat at The Boat House is hand-slaughtered (zabihah). Given that they are not a dedicated halal restaurant, it is very unlikely. We suggest you confirm the meat source directly with the restaurant.

Question 4

Are there prayer facilities nearby?

Accepted Answer

The Boat House does not have a prayer room on-site. You would need to find a suitable public place or a nearby mosque for prayers. The Canberra Islamic Centre is a drive away and not within walking distance.

Question 5

Can they accommodate large Muslim family gatherings?

Accepted Answer

The Boat House has private dining rooms and can host large events like weddings. However, given that the menu contains pork and alcohol is widely served, it may not be a suitable environment for all Muslim family gatherings. It would be best to discuss your specific dietary and atmospheric requirements with their events team.
