The food was absolutely outstanding! I had the Skate and it was the best Skate I'd ever had and the rack of lamb that my girlfriend had was amazing!!The staff were so friendly and for what we had the price was oh so fair! We will be coming back, 100%!!!

The place is simply amazing! Gorgeous weather so was out on the decking. Could've been abroad it was that pretty!Food was delicious, portion sizes are great. And they even went the extra mile and sorted out some chicken for my dog. She loved it also!Shame I live quite far away, but will definitely return. 5 stars!

Nice venue. Visited for a friends birthday. Lovely view on a sunny day. Nice pleasant staff, although slightly slow service. Very nice food! Definitely worth a visit! (Pictured: Famous transitional fish & chips)

Absolutely delightful, long and lazy afternoon spent here, today.The food was immaculate and cooked beautifully. There was a slight problem with timings of the main, but it was immediately rectified with fresh meals for the entire party, and complimentary drinks for all. We were very pleased to also be given a slight reduction on the bill for the inconvenience. Fab service! Our waiter was just fabulous! Such a nice guy, I didn’t get his name but he had some amazing tattoos and pretty impressive rings in his lobes - you know who you are! - he is a credit to the restaurant and just know he is an asset you want to keep.We visit here quite often and will continue to do so. Our friends drive 60 miles to meet us and we drive 25. It’s definitely worth it.5 stars all round.

This is a nice restaurant. The food is very tasty. However, they forgot to bring out two of our orders on two separate occasions and then forgot to remove this from the bill when they agreed to do so. Despite this, I would come here again. It’s got a nice vibe and is decorated nicely. The Sunday dinner is particularly delicious.

An enjoyable lunch there on Bank Holiday Monday. We sat outside, looking out on to the River Thames, which was a relaxing view. The waiter was friendly and attentive. The food arrived in a timely manner. It was well cooked and tasty. The wine list is reasonably priced and a good selection to choose from. Have booked a table for a return visit.

Chic restaurant with a nice vibe, nice views of the water and, in summer, a large outdoor patio area. Food is very nicely presented. The salmon that my table had was immaculately cooked. The fillet steak I had, requested medium, came out essentially rare. It was a great cut and therefore still good but not being able to cook a 1.5 inch thick steak to the requested level is a little underwhelming. Finally service was pretty appealing, unreasonably slow. Overall a good place to go but you’ll have to be patient. Wide selection of drinks.

Now I love my food, and my partner booked here for dinner.On arrival, we were greeted by 2 lovely members of staff,who took our coats and were seated quickly.The atmosphere was relaxed n very pleasantFor starters, we ordered chicken liver pate with cranberry onion relish and chilli PrawnsMains, we ordered 3 dishes one each one to shareThe king prawns in garlic butter,Leg lamb mash veg,The sirloin steak,chips n saladOMG!!! The food was out of this world full of flavour, the steak which is my favourite melted in the mouth.Drinks wise bottle of water is 4.50 to clean pallet rather refreshing and we had few cocktails 10.00 each.I have told my other half we are not eating anywhere else, but hereThe food was outstanding. I would highly recommendAnd on certain nights, they have singers and tribute bands.I will definitely be coming back.
