One of the best steaks Ive ever had! It was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The peppercorn sauce with the steak was also exquisite. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Beautiful restaurant and atmosphere right by the river. I would absolutely recommend.

It was our first visit here and we had a brilliant evening. The food (sirloin steak, seafood linguine, cheesy garlic bread and Eton Mess dessert) was all absolutely delicious and the service spot on. Great setting overlooking the beautiful waterfront and a really relaxed atmosphere made for a fantastic meal. Wish I lived closer to visit more, but we'll absolutely be back as soon as possible 🙏😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I attended a 40th birthday celebration at this restaurant. They were happy to hide a birthday cake we brought and present it when we were ready. As we were such a large party, the adults had to pre-order with a non refundable deposit of £10 each and the children ordered on the night. The staff were great with our demands and so attentive with the children, much appreciated. The food was delicious. Having had the Goats cheese starter followed by the sea bass, I couldn't fault them. Vanilla cheesecake for dessert with just enough compote to not be too bland, it was nice. They take card and cash payments and are patient enough to sift through a large bill as we all paid separately. They had a well stocked bar with something for everyone. £5.70 for a single Parma violet gin with lemonade. More than enough bar staff to tend a busy bar area. Would eat here again.

This is a lovely place and I only have 1 gripe which I will get to. It has a level access, cannot speak for the toilet facilities as I didn't use them. The restaurant area looks over water which is lovely. The food is delicious but it is more on the spendy side. Service was efficient and polite. My only gripe is the restaurant area is down 2 steps with no handrail to hold on to. I am a disabled lady who uses a stick and usually a mobility scooter too. I would not be able to get my scooter into the restaurant area and I felt very unsafe on the 2 steps due to no handrail. I hope the owners see this and put in a handrail and/or a ramp for people like myself. Wheelchair users would not be able to go into the restaurant area either.
