   Nice, refurbished pub with grounds overlooking the River Thames. Quiet when we were there but I am sure it gets very busy. Food was Ok, Nothing special. Nice to be able to sit in the garden and plenty of umbrellas for shade on a sunny day. A lot of seating inside if too hot or weather not great. Parking opposite in the walled garden car park.

   Super roast dinner. The staff couldn’t be more helpful, chatty but not over the top. We love it here, so much better now

   We sat outside on the terrace overlooking the river on a very warm day. It was buzzy perhaps a little jammed in together but the view is lovely. Understand there has been a recent refurbishment and the inside including the toilets were excellent. The service was friendly if a bit slow. The food was good but portions were only just ok and the burgers I was told were pretty standard fare. Would go again though as overall it was a good experience for a family birthday.

   Since I last visited, the pub has been refurbished, it is much brighter, more modern while still keeping the “old pub” charm. It was extremely busy in the pub, the garden and the upstairs function room. Being so busy did not affect standards, the service from Kat was extremely good and the food delicious! The fact that the pub is right on the river opposite the small yacht club means it is the perfect location with a stunning view, paddle boarders were literally paddling up to the pub, and we were able to feed the swans from our table. This used to be a good pub, now it has been refurbished it is a GREAT pub.

   We had a lovely lunch including two children under 10yr. The new decor is fabulous and the food was delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful and particularly Kat looked after us very well.

   They had run out of most of the menu and dessert menu meaning our first choices for lunch and dessert weren’t available. This was extremely disappointing. Our waiter then waitress were apologetic and friendly. My main needed more potatoes - one new potato cut in half is not sufficient.

   Food quality and location are great. We enjoyed the patio and it was lovely in the sun.

    - we reserved a table and got a table in the most awkward position. There was a table to the side available but was told it was reserved…. We reserved too… only to find later a walk-in customer took the table. - the Camembert that we received was completely different to what was described on the menu. The bread wasn’t sourdough bread, there was no honey, rosemary or garlic on the Camembert - only a weird red sauce to the side. - we waited 30mins for the mains to be served. No apologies from staff or warning from them that there is delay in the kitchen - we ordered fish + chips and a cheese Berger - as we were served the waitress explained that there was no ketchup. - the roast had caramelised begs on the menu - none were and the portion of the roast was minimal. - the service in general was really sub-standard.
