Lovely spot right in the centre, with a view of the water. The building has such character, with low beams and a really cosy feel. I noticed the menu had some nice, fresh-sounding salads, which is always a plus for me.

Liah and Ruby were so sweet. They just had this way of checking in without hovering, you know? Felt genuinely looked after.

Been coming here for years. Staff always remember my name, ask how the family&#39;s doing. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back. Food&#39;s decent, but it&#39;s the people that make it feel like a local spot.

Came for a midweek dinner. The sea bass was cooked nicely, and the veg tart was a decent portion for the price. Service was quick. Felt like a fair deal for what we got.

Nice rooftop for a quick drink. The view over Oxford is the main draw, especially when the sun&#39;s out. Got my pint in a decent time. Perfect for a fast stop.

A lovely spot that&#39;s really welcoming to dogs. I had the ciabatta, which was fresh and came with a nice side salad. The whole place felt very clean and tidy, which made for a relaxed lunch. Prices seemed fair too.

Been going here for years. The fish and chips is always solid, and the pints are well-priced. It&#39;s just a dependable place for a quiet bite. Nothing fancy, but that&#39;s the point.

Came here for a birthday dinner. The staff were really sweet and made the whole thing feel so cosy, like a friend&#39;s place. That was the best bit. The food was solid, but it was the vibe that stuck with me.

Ian and Zac were so lovely, really made our monthly catch-up feel special. Great vibe for a group!

The staff were really nice. They even sang for a birthday at the next table, which was a sweet touch.

Been coming here for years. The bar billiards is always a hit with the kids, keeps them entertained while we eat.

Ordered through the app, food came quick and hot. The place itself is just really nice to be in - good lighting, comfy seats, not too loud. A solid, reliable spot for a casual meal.

Been going here for years. Their sourdough pizza crust is always spot on - crispy and chewy. The weekday &pound;5 margherita is a solid deal, especially with the fresh basil.

Perfect for a pre-show drink with the O2 Academy so close. The garden is large, heated, and stayed comfortable on a chilly night. Exactly what we needed.

Love the Thai food here, it&#39;s a real surprise from the caf&eacute;-style front! The space is a bit narrow though.

The food was fresh and well-balanced, with plenty of healthy options. Good value for the quality of ingredients.

Came for a Christmas work dinner. The Cherry Bakewell cocktail was a standout. James and Sophie handled our large table efficiently. Food was decent, service was prompt. Good for a group booking.

Been coming here for years, and the wine list is always a solid choice. Good value, never disappoints.

The Fisherman&#39;s Cottage is a lovely little spot right by the water. The wooden beams and those big windows looking out at the boats really make it. Just a nice, relaxed place for a meal.

Emma was a great server for our first bottomless brunch. The whole vibe was really relaxed, just a nice spot to unwind for a couple of hours. We&#39;ll be back for sure.

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

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.

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.
