About the restaurant

Spaghetti Tree Walton-on-the-Hill has a very contemporary feel and is an ideal party venue. The restaurant also has a unique location with the best views overlooking Walton Pond. Spaghetti Tree has a history dating back to 1985. We are a small family-run business and the philosophy behind our restaurants is that it is best to keep it simple, traditional, fresh and affordable. Also, and probably most important of all, keep it in the family.

About the restaurant

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.
