                  Nice location by the river. Food was ok but menu was a bit too posh for a pub restaurant with limited options.

                  Food came out almost immediately and unfortunately all four meals were of very disappointing quality. May not have been, but felt pre-prepared (Sunday evening). The veggie pasta had no flavour. Lovely looking restaurant though by the river, and nice staff.

                  We were greeted nicely and led to our table, but before being seats were told we’d need to vacate within 2 hours. The time limit was no issue were only there for about 80-90 mins, but it was not nice being told when we must leave before we’ve sat down. We then asked if there was a table in more shade available, we were told there wasn’t despite seeing 4 or 5 that didn’t fill during our meal. The food was mixed. The fishcakes were good but my burger was average at best. I wouldn’t go back.

                  Got there for a 6.30pm table and had to wait 5 mins but that was ok and we got drinks quite quickly, however, we then had to wait until 8.10pm to get our main course (we didn't order starters which is probably just as well). Same old problem, lovely sunny day and they were fully booked including a big table of 15-20 people. Bit disappointed I had to chase service staff up for food and to find out where our food was.

                  Had a celebratory lunch for my son with my 5 year old granddaughter and it was perfect. The food was succulent and well presented with good portions The waiter provided an appropriate level of attention The only moan was that it would be nice to have allergy indicators on the menu, but I managed OK

                  Ambience is very nice on the side of river Thames. Service is quick so you can quickly grab a bite and enjoy. Further food is delicious with affordable. Perfect for people visiting Windsor castle to have a good time.
