Had a Beef Sunday Roast which was cooked to perfection. River views and a cosy friendly atmosphere. Service was great and all staff were friendly

Have come back multiple times because we’ve just been so impressed. What a pleasant surprise for excellent food in a pub hidden away by the river. Vegan options have always been delish and there’s always plenty of choice with a comfortable price- great value for money. My personal favourite is the grilled peach salad, the portion is fantastic, presentation immaculate and taste sublime. Another honourable mention is the cauliflower starter dish. I think the only thing I can fault the food on is the flatbread that accompanies some dishes: it has always been too hard and slightly stale tasting, if that improves in any way, I literally wouldn’t be able to find faults. Service has always been prompt and staff members are lovely, the interior and exterior seating is fab for all weather. I highly recommend. Update as of June 2023: As I continue to return, there are always new additions to the menu, fantastic options and all so tasty and flavourful. Including, tempura veg, beetroot salad (starters) and Katsu curry.

The food here was just simply incredible. The chips were cooked to perfection and it filled my mouth with creamy deliciousness. The tartare sauce was delicious and filled my mouth with joyous flavours. Now moving on to the cod I mean what can just simply incredible I loved it so much and it were well worth the price will definitely come back

A lovely pub. The beer was in good condition. The Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. My Wife has an intolerance to gluten and the Landlady went out of her way to accommodate this. A really nice experience and well worth a visit.

I really like this pub, I have nice memories spending time here with my mum. I came here for lunch today and it was really nice. There is a good selection of vegan items. I had the gnocchi, my partner, the Moving Mountains burger. The gnocchi was a little too oily for me, but that could be down to personal preference, and it didn't stop me from finishing it! I did feel that the mains could have been a little cheaper, and I didn't like that the gnocchi was two prices, but I was charged the higher amount. I would however still return. The staff were lovely and there is a nice selection of beer.

Found by chance, during a bike ride as a shelter from a spring storm. Excellent british cuisine and excellent ales on tap. Very welcoming and very nice and helpful waitresses. Average price. If I go back there, I will definitely come back.

Popped into the barge for a lunchtime beer and snack away from the crowds in town. Lovely situation by the river despite the building site opposite where Waitrose used to be. Nice friendly staff and good food & drinks. Service was quick too. Good spot to get away from the crowds but good for people watching if you're into that too.

Love this pub, they really deserve credit for their food. All cooked fresh on site with a seasonal menu which always has several things to temp you. Given the price this is normally way above standard pub food in terms of menu originality, food quality and portion size. They have an outdoor space out the back and river views the other side, lovely place for dark winter days when they have their log fire going creating a cosy atmosphere which takes some beating

Fabulous place for a Sunday roast! Excellent menus for all with clear markings for V and Ve options. Knowledgable staff answered a question about what was in a dessert dish for allergies. Prices as expected. Dessert menu on point and all the family impressed. Even has correct sized cutlery for the kids. Will be back again.

Nice little stop-off after making the 360 turn at the end of the navigation. Mooring (lucky!) in front of the door.

We had a great family lunch! All the staff couldn’t be more polite and genuinely nice. Food was delicious, fresh, on time. We had the fish and chips and the chicken burger, the kids both demolished their burgers ! Small manu with plenty of choice though for us. Wide range of drinks. Not to forget the pud! I had a lovely rum and raisin ice cream which was really good , but there was also mandarin sorbe .. we thought it was amazing for a pub to offer these .. Honest prices , very reasonable .

First time I've been here after being recommended several times. I've got a few allergies and the server was very observant. The roast dinner is absolutely mouth watering. I had the beef and it was so tender. I like a lot of gravy, so I asked for more and I got a small jug. Fab food, service and atmosphere. All adhering to covid measures.
