The riverside garden is lovely. The outdoor heaters made it so cosy for a drink.

The fish and chips were spot on, crispy and not greasy at all. The burger was juicy with a nice kick from the piri piri. Really generous portions, we couldn&#39;t finish it all!

Been coming here for years, and it&rsquo;s always the same. That&rsquo;s why I keep coming back. The beer selection is spot on&mdash;they&rsquo;ve kept the same ales on for ages, and they&rsquo;re always pulled properly. Just feels reliable.

Birthday dinner for ten in the quieter section. The service was attentive. What stood out was the freshness of the ingredients&mdash;the greens in my starter were crisp, and the fish tasted just-caught. A lovely, simple meal.

Fran and her team are so lovely, really make you feel at home. It&#39;s the perfect spot for a relaxed catch-up with friends. The vibe is just right, not too loud so you can actually hear each other! Service was spot on.

The roast dinner here is a proper treat. The meat was cooked just right, and the veg tasted like it came straight from a garden. Really generous portions too.

The beer garden is nice, but the real draw is the food. The fish and chips are spot on - crispy batter, flaky fish, proper chips. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

A great meal at a busy venue. Extensive selection of news and vegetables along with drink and dessert options. Good value for money

Live music nights are a nice change from the usual chains. The vibe here has a lot of character.

The burger was spot on, and the staff suggested a great local craft beer to go with it. A solid choice for a casual night out.

The mixed roast trio is a decent size for the price. The Yorkshire puddings are proper homemade ones, which is a nice touch.

Love the vibe here during the holidays. The mulled wine is fresh and the whole place just feels so warm. It&#39;s a really nice spot to unwind.

Perfect for a casual work lunch! Our server Star was so lovely and made sure our drinks were always topped up. The lunch deal with unlimited coffee and soft drinks is a steal. We ended up staying for ages just chatting.

Wasn&#39;t planning on eating here, but so glad we did. The lamb curry was incredible&mdash;so tender and packed with flavour. Honestly, it blew me away.

Lovely little pub tucked away just off the High Street. A proper escape from the crowds. The staff were so friendly, really made us feel welcome. My fish and chips were spot on, crispy batter and proper chunky chips. Just what we needed.

The avocado muffin is a standout. Breakfast was better than on my last few visits, and the service felt more professional. A pretty good start to the day.

Stopped by for the match. The vibe was spot on, screens everywhere so you don&rsquo;t miss a thing. Had a decent burger and a pint. A solid spot in the centre if you&rsquo;re looking to watch the game.

Waitress was really good, polite and confident. Bar staff members took my conversations while sorting drinks out for another guest. This sped up my service. A really nice pub with good fresh food

I enjoyed a delicious classic burger here during lunch. It was flame-grilled to perfection, and my wife loved her steak salad as well. A great spot for a casual meal!

The views over the Thames are absolutely stunning, making it a perfect spot for a sunny lunch. The atmosphere is delightful, and the food quality is impressive.

Love the vibe here - proper old-school pub feel. It does get pretty loud when it&#39;s packed, but honestly, that&#39;s part of the charm for me. The ale selection is spot on.

The beer garden is a good size, with heaters. A solid option if you want to avoid the crowded, loud pubs in the centre. Decent for a quiet after-work pint.

Pulled pork burger was top. Even the side salad was fresh and crisp, not just an afterthought. Shows they care about the details.

Lovely spot by the canal for lunch. The outdoor seating was perfect on a sunny day, really helped us unwind. Food was decent, though my salad felt a bit over-dressed. Still, a nice place to relax.

The staff were so friendly and helpful when we couldn&#39;t decide on a drink. Made the whole visit really relaxed.

Got a table fast on a busy pre-Christmas Saturday. Tristan sorted it. Samra was a lovely, smiling waitress. Food came out quick too - just what we needed. Cozy spot for a quick bite.

The gluten-free chicken and leek pie was spot on. A proper find for a coeliac, and no extra charge for the GF menu.

Been coming here for years. The outdoor seating is always nice, especially when you&#39;re just off the train.

The food here is a step up from your usual pub fare. My fish and chips were pretty good, with a decently crispy batter. The service was a bit slow, but everyone at our table seemed happy with their meals.

A proper country pub in a lovely village. The calves liver was the star for me &ndash; cooked just right, still pink and tender inside. The mash it came with was spot on too. A solid, satisfying meal.
