About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for outdoor dining
Lively

'The Crabtree, with its spectacular position downstream from The River Cafe,
has a huge sprawling garden, a glazed colonnade and frontage on to the
Thames shaded by a weeping willow. The prawns in chilli hot oil and the toast
spread with tomatoes and onions were good, so much so we ordered them
again when we returned for Sunday lunch. Sunday roasts with 'all the
trimming's' - we tried beef and pork - had everything a Sunday roast should
have. Somewhere rather spiffing to go' (Fay Machsler, Evening Standard)

The quality of the food is really poor. The roast dinner was horrible. The pub changed the menu and it's bad.

Our experience was good as always, just a bit annoying thing was. I’ve made my booking 3 weeks ago with a note in it that we’ll be 4 adults - 3 kids for a dinner and we were placed by the riverside door which even if the door was closed but the service was by that door to outside space it was not pleasant and the manager couldn’t managed to swap places so we seated to lounge area and order by the bar which is fine. My expectation was booking earlier with a special note and (dropped by them to check is all good 10 days ago) will help us to get at least an average table to sit and enjoy the evening. Other the. This all was good as always, all the staff was lovely, foods were tasty!
The CrabtreeResponded on June 10, 2025
Hi Merve, Thank you for your review. We are so glad to hear the food was tasty and and team lovely. Apologies for not being able to move your table within in the restaurant. We hope to see you again soon. Team Crab

Sat under the lovely willow trees by the river and dining experience heightened (!?) by lots of little bugs in hair, wine etc! Food great apart from girlfriend's hispi cabbage possibly substituted for raw lettuce (lettuce debatable but def not fried). Service great, very attentive, lovely evening for us & the bugs! Thanks
The CrabtreeResponded on June 3, 2025
Hi Rupert, Thank you for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed the ambience, despite the summer bugs, and the service! Our sincere apologies for the hispi cabbage not meeting expectations, we will report this to the food team to improve upon this dish. Thank you for your feedback. Best Team Crab
