    The Sunday roasts here are amazing, would definitely recommend the lamb or beef. Great service from all staff, very friendly and polite. The conservatory was a nice place to sit, it was nice and warm even on a cold winters day.

    Delicious food with very good portions in pretty setting. The staff were helpful. Only minor criticism is that we had to pay extra for non-vegan cheese in a burger which seemed a bit unnecessary.

    3pm arrival for a Late lunch for husbands birthday. Was not busy at all at this time. Food was excellent but unfortunately the service was awful. Didn’t see our waitress smile. Had the bread & oils to start. The oil arrived about 10 minutes before the bread. When they finally cleared the table (at 4:40pm) after our main course (approximately 20 mins after we had finished ) we no longer had enough time to order a desert as we had to leave for another commitment. I would recommend purely on the food but definitely not the service!!!

    Service - amazing. Food - we both had the burger. Chips lovely, salad lovely, wine lovely but the meat itself was like a frozen quarter pounder from the supermarket. Pretty tough and bland. I wish it was a handmade patty they are so easy to do and quality meat would have been appreciated. Eton mess dessert was wonderful!

    Lovely place to have a relaxing lunch. Indoors seating was excellent with window view of the river . Nice table setting with a proper linen serviette! The service was efficient, discreet and attentive. The fish pie was one of the best we ate and the fries were a plus too! The Eaton Mess was a delicious dessert ! Highly recommend the Boatman. Prices are slightly more than on a pub list however the quality of the meal was definitely worth it ! Also good music playlist ! Thank you !

    I booked this as we were on a day out with our dogs and it was dog friendly. All staff that dealt with us were so moody especially the young girl that didn’t manage a smile at all! The manager was the only friendly person who made a point of telling us the puddings were all home made and were the best part of the dinner. The burger was meant to be homemade which I may have disagreed as it looked very much out of a packet! I had a roast which was very nice potato,Yorkshire pud,veg but the lamb wasn’t the best 2 G & T’s,1.5 pints larger,2 main course and 2 puddings was £90 which we felt was very expensive for a casual Sunday roast and burger!!! We could have had dinner at The Ivy and the staff are always very friendly

    The restaurant is in a great setting overlooking the river. Dining is in an annex outside the main pub building. It has very good lighting and heating, and the restaurant was quite busy for a Monday evening and there was a good atmosphere and ambiance. There were plenty of choices on the menu and the lamb shank is to be recommended. Drinks were served by waitresses and service in general was pretty good.

    Poor service. Had to remind them we'd ordered wine. Wine spilt on the table whilst pouring and they didn't clean it up. Condiment request forgotten by the staff, had to be reminded. Floor in the outer building meant that when any of the staff frequently passed by it would rock the chairs. Food was very good and large portions, but not value for money due to the service.

    Food was very good, but the service could have been better. They are polite and friendly but felt we lacked attention. Had to ask to order drinks and the food. They missed a trick there because we drank less and left early.

    Greeting was rather uninviting.. female in charge was unfriendly and dismissive. Once we ordered & interacted with other waiters we felt at ease but this particular member of staff appeared brusque & lacking in people skills with every arrival. The restaurant was faultless in every other respect but to bring warmth & a genuinely friendly atmosphere I think you need a change of Maitre de.
