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)

We love visiting the Crabtree, the ambience and service lead by Rudi and his team is always exemplary. Our last visit however was a tad disappointing not because of the food or service but they did not offer lunch dishes when it clearly stated on menu lunch dishes available on Monday and our visit was on the bank holiday Monday.
The CrabtreeResponded on May 16, 2025
Hi Marco, Thank you for your lovely comments. Unfortunately, due to the volume of customers on bank holidays and the size of our kitchen, we can only offer the standard a la carte menu. We apologise for the disappointment this caused. Looking forward to seeing you again soon! Team Crab

Love the Crabtree and the service was great as always. I had the Chicken Kiev which was fantastic but the “wedge of salad” is just a cheeky rip-off. A quarter iceberg salad with some dressing and crispy onions is not the level of detail I’d expect from the Crabtree in general and even more so when I pay £19 for my food. Not impressed. It clearly would have not been a big deal to make a nice vinaigrette with chopped tomatoes, cucumber, spring onions etc… some herbs.
The CrabtreeResponded on May 8, 2025
Hi Dani, Thank you for taking the time to us feedback. It is great to hear the service was good and you enjoyed the Chicken Kyiv. We are sorry you did not enjoy the wedge salad and will absolutely be feeding back to our food development team about this so we can improve upon this dish. We pride ourselves on serving delicious fresh food so your feedback is hugely important to us and we will strive to do better. Thank you. Team Crab

The food came before our wine/beer, had to tell the vaittress to check …. pore or no controll on the serving.
The CrabtreeResponded on April 21, 2025
Hi Gisle, We are sorry to hear your food arrived before your drinks. This was a miscommunication between the team, and due to how busy it was the bar team may have made a mistake. We hope the rest of your visit was good and you will visit us again in the future. Team Crab

Food in the garden outside is no the same as inside, it’s only burgers etc. It used to be more generous and delicious. Today burger was quite average, small and dry. The location is great next to the river though.
The CrabtreeResponded on April 1, 2025
Hi Julien, Thank you for your review. We serve the Crabshack BBQ menu in the garden on busy days to ensure we can accommodate more people for food whilst maintaining quality. We are sorry this was not what you expected. Team Crab

Overall a good meal with good service. The dish that was disappointing was the vegan main course at £18. This was vegan burella with a tomato cut into 4 pieces. Not even passable as a starter to be honest. It was sent back and another option was offered. Several dishes were not available on the day we dined which was also disappointing. Fish and chips, burger and fish pie were all very good.
The CrabtreeResponded on March 24, 2025
Hi Sarah, Thank you for your review. We are sorry you were not satisfied with the vegan burella dish, we have passed your comments on to the food development team. Apologies for the items missing on the menu this weekend, we have just launched our Spring menu and have had some teething problems with suppliers which are now rectified. We hope you will visit us again. Best, Team Crab
