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)

    Mixed review on the Crabtree: lovely location. Food was nice. Not amazing but nice. We unfortunately booked dinner on a day when the pub was having a music festival. We were not informed about the music festival and I have to say it was LOUD and extremely busy. I think we would have had a better time has the music festival not been on and the venue do ‘busy’. Our waiter was lovely, but sadly not overly attentive. They definitely had enough staff on duty though.

    Thank you for your feedback TANIAC. We are sorry your experience with us did not meet expectations. It would be great to see you again on a non-festival day so we can show you how impressive we can be! Team Crab

    We recently visited The crabtree pub, it was an absolutely delightful experience. The food was delicious and the service was great. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, they were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. And of course, the cherry on top was the stunning view of the river at dinner time. Overall, I highly recommend this pub for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience with great food, friendly service, and a picturesque view by the river.

    Have a lovely date night at the crabtree. Staff were great, food was amazing (I had the seabass). Shame it was raining as there is a lovely terrace by the river, but at least we could have a drink in the beer garden which was huge. We will be back

    What a wonderful review, thank you! Hopefully see you on a sunnier day so you can make use of the Terrace. Team Crab

    I went to the pub earlier in the week on Monday with my sister in law and nothing was available on the menu other then a burger or fish and chips (burger was awful) they said they hadn’t had a delivery!? I wrote a review as I was so shocked having been to the pub a few years ago and had a fabulous meal! I went back yesterday with a new date (hoping as it’s a lovely setting along the river that Monday was a one off! Again I couldn’t have anything on the menu that I wanted - no sourdough no food I wanted literally nothing in the menu again - so why have a menu that you can’t order anything off of - def never going back
    The CrabtreeResponded on July 3, 2024
    Dear Anon We'd like to thank you for giving us another try after a disappointing first visit. Its a real shame that you had such a poor experience, especially as it was due to circumstances that were out of our control (our food delivery which was due at 7am arrived at 12, thus not giving the kitchen team enough time to prep for lunch). We do however hope that you at least enjoyed the location and service. Team Crab

    I went yesterday, Monday the 24th of July and sat down to be told basically there’s nothing on the menu that we can have! Only a burger or the fish and chips for the mains! No sourdough bread (which ruled out a lot or most of the starters and basically the waiter (who was highly nervous and embarrassed, said that they didn’t get any deliveries or something on those lines! I saw others eat a croque Monsieur (looked like soggy plain bread) Thought that was very poor for such a popular pub! I’ve been before a while ago and the food was amazing and a completely different menu! Our burgers were made with tough, chewy, grissly, mince meat so we left them. Shame!
