"This is a very busy popular place so my review is probably not the view of the majority. We had Crayfish and Avocado starter, Belly Pork mains and Passion Fruit cheesecake for pudding. The staff are all very nice and polite and cannot do enough for you. The atmosphere is lively and you have to really speak loudly to make yourself heard when talking. We sat in the Conservatory which is the most popular area to dine. We visited Sunday Lunch time. We found the main course disappointing with roast potatoes covered in some red spice (paprika? which gave them a strange taste, a Yorkshire pudding that was so dry it was like cardboard, and the Pork appeared to re-heated all served in a bowl plate all swimming in gravy. It most definitely wasn't awful but we didn't enjoy it and won't return. Maybe we were expecting more with our friends recommending it. The pudding was very good . By the way you get a 12.5% Auto applied to the bill which can be removed."

Thank you to Amy and her fabulous team today. Myself and five friends enjoyed a wonder afternoon tea. Not sure which bit was my favourite but loved the hog roast sausage roll. Thank you and look forward to our next visit. Anne

Overall, the food here was good, atmosphere wasnt amazong because of crows and sevice was excellent. The reason the food was not great is because i found that i had a different cut of beef compared to the people i was sitting with, and it was not at all a good one. Orherwise,ithink its a great place with lots of options.

Arrived around 12 on a Saturday lunchtime with our dog and there were plenty of tables outside. We walked through the restaurant inside and it looked lovely. The service was very good and the food was great, I had the quiche of the day, my husband had the prawn open sandwich which came with loads of prawns, and my daughter the lentil burger which she loved. Plenty for vegetarians to choose from. Will definitely return. Very popular, busy when we left, so much so that they had opened the overflow car park. View menu

My husband and I ate here as an anniversary treat from my mother in law. It was great from start to finish. We were seated in the main conservatory, overlooking the river, which was beautiful, especially as the sub started to set. All the servers were great. We were looked after by Libby, who was amazing, and we had a bit of fun! My husband had the ham terrine for a starter, which was very nice. We both opted for the fish and chips, which were on special. We have to admit that it was probably thd best fish we'd ever eaten!!! Mu husband had the passion fruit Cheesecake and ice cream, and I had the banana and Toffee sundae which was yummy!! We would definitely eat here again. Highly recommende...

The location is lovely. The river view also lovely. The food I would say is average and pricey. The Sunday lunch had frozen roast potatoes and it had all been microwaved. The beef was grey in colour, not pink or even brown. I work in a butchers and that sirloin had been sliced earlier in the day had been in the microwave. The Yorkshire puddings were very good and tasty. I didn’t think it was reasonable to pay an extra £5 for cauliflower cheese when the roast was already £29.50 for 2 courses. I chose to have the pornstar cheesecake for dessert, which was also a store bought cheesecake (not homemade) jazzed up with a drizzle of passion fruit sauce 1/3 of a passion fruit. Average Meal and price...
