We go there fairly often and we are never disappointed. The food is excellent with different choices from the local pubs which makes it a better experience and is added to by the decor and set right by the river with fantastic views.

As always perfect meals & service. 4 of us dined for a birthday celebration, seated in the Orangery with lovely views. I had the rump steak panini, it was tender & tasty. Great value at £11.50, cheaper than a burger in other restaurants! The others enjoyed their meals, all presented & cooked perfectly. Return visit planned again. Fin (our waiter) was friendly & had a sense of humour which added to the great service he provided.

We have been here a couple of times for a meal. The location is spectacular & well worth a visit if not for food at least visit for a drink. There are plenty of outdoor tables & chairs that look out over the river & the well tended gardens. The indoor tables are popular & I would recommend reserving one as it can get very busy. The food was well presented & tasty. 2 of us had mixed grills which were well cooked & huge! The staff were welcoming & helpful & we had good service. The premises were clean & tidy. Overall I would highly recommended a visit to this establishment & we will certainly return when we are next in the area.

Spent a lovely couple of hours here. We had the Steak Ciabatta and the Fish Goujon Ciabatta for lunch. Very nice dressing on the salad. But we really didn't want a pudding.
