Welcome to The Magpie.
We pride ourselves as a beautiful riverside gastropub with an amazing dining room overlooking the Thames, serving fresh seasonal food with an impressive range of real ales, craft beers, an extensive gin list and a great wine list.
We offer full table service in every part of our premises.

We are a dog-friendly pub as long as they are with well-behaved hoomans but do not allow dogs in our dining area if you would like to bring a four-legged friend please let us know and we can seat you in our bar area.
Luckily enough, we are lucky to have a car park just across the road if you are coming from afar.

We are now an Over21 pub only, please bear this in mind.

Great food, service was a little slack unfortunately barbie was an absolutely wonderful person to deal with but the few younger members of staff were all over the show. Asked the same question by both members of staff. Food came out stupidly quick and had to chase for drinks and even then came out wrong size and charged for a larger one when a smaller was ordered. It was great at the end of the day and I’d highly recommend it to others just needs fine tuning that’s all.
