    Excellent meal in the restaurant on a beautiful spring evening. The food and wine were fabulous. Service initially slow but subsequently great with helpful cheerful staff. Will definitely go back.

    We have been several times in recent years to the Cherwell Boathouse. We very much like its location on the river well outside the city centre, its ambience and service and its cuisine. Yesterday my spouse and I each had the asparagus starter and the lamb main course accompanied by glasses of Bordeaux. It was as always a pleasant and relaxed experience and we will certainly go to the Cherwell Boathouse when we feel like getting away and enjoying good food in the lovely surroundings of the CBH.

    The service was outstanding and the staff were so welcoming to me and my partner. They were automatically engaging and made us feel at ease being in the restaurant. We went for steak night and it did not disappoint! Definitely would recommend for any special occasion and will be visiting again very soon. Thank you all again.
