The pub offers good choices of food and drinks but the decor is looking a bit tired. Friendly staff.

Had a great Sunday dinner here. The staff and food were fantastic and what a beautiful setting as the sun goes down over the estuary. I will definitely be

A big group of us booked an Xmas meet up dinner. Unfortunately they had a chef issue on the day and told us as we arrived incase we wanted to try somewhere else.Honesty is a good policy.We decided to stay and happy to wait for food. Some of the orders got a bit mixed up food got missed but standard was good and the service and communication was amazing.Yes stuff went wrong, but they owned it! They looked after us under a stressful situation. We all had a good time and have a story to tell.....and will return soon.

Visited on Sunday for a roast and have to say it was the best I've had in ages! Usually prefer to cook at home but the family wanted to venture out...Can't fault anything really, the staff were attentive and friendly. We ordered the Beef, which was tender, lovely roasties and Yorkshire, and well presented. My daughter had the Pork and her friend had the Chicken, both cleared their plates! Will definitely be back again.

Decided to go for Sunday lunch. We walked over a table and I nearly spilt my drinks which I had just purchased when I sat them down onto a very wonky surface. I just managed to save them! We moved tables but before we could alert the waitress, a crowd of people arrived at the table and lo and behold, their tray of drinks smashed on the floor. Not a great start. I ordered the pork belly and it was awful. It was so salty and tough. My partner had the vegan option and he enjoyed it. There was very little atmosphere and we won’t go back. Such a shame as we had high hopes.

Pre-Covid we went here quite often. Decided to go back today. We had booked lunch. Had to wait to be checked in. When we did we were given menus and told where to sit. Had no service and after 20 minutes I checked in again at the reception counter. I was told by the person there there was no table service as she was the only front of house. I ordered and about ¼ hour later we got our food. We had sandwiches, we were not given a choice of bread but basically the food was acceptable. If the staffing situation was so bad we should have this explained to us at the start and not had to go back to find out. We won’t be going there again, it was too disappointing.

It's okay, not the best for atmosphere inside and can be a bit 'dead' but outside in the summer is great next to the river with a DJ sometimes present - popular with the younger crowd.
Broad range of beers, spirits and wines - Solid pub environment.A few premade cocktails on tap, but nothing too fancy.The mulled wine was a little disappointing.Outside space is great, especially in the summer.

Christmas lunch dreary as anything. It was £75 for one slice of turkey and 5 Brussels, the stuffing was rock hard and inedible, the gravy was watery and the gammon was tough as old leather. The kitchen at one point set off the smoke alarm, not surprising as everything was burnt. The pithivier was completely blackened and inedible. As it was Xmas nobody complained but then nobody ate anything. The restaurant wasn't even full and I have had a Sunday roast there before which was actually very tasty but this was appalling. The desserts were awful too. All very disappointing.

Christmas Dinner. We booked here because we have eaten there many times and never been disappointed. So I don't know what happened on Christmas Day. Starter and amuse bouche were good. Christmas dinner was sadly horrendous. Turkey was OK, gammon was inedible it was rock hard, sprouts really under cooked and parsnip the same, Stuffing and roast potatoes were burnt as were the yorkshire puddings. The beef pie pastry was inedible because it was so burnt. Custard that came with the Crumble was cold and not enough to cover the whole crumble the Crumble top was softcand stodgy. Looking around at others meals they were all equally burnt. Such a shame because we up until.then had never had a bad meal there. Maybe a novice chef was brought in for the day or he was overwhelmed.Shame next year we'll be cooking at home or going away

Christmas Dinner for £75, the most unappetising selection you could possibly imagine. Gammon that was so tough you could not cut it so chewing was out of the question, 5 tiny Brussels sprouts that were like bullets, no other vegetable on view. Turkey which was best thing on the plate, one slice, Gravy not sure what that was oxo in water I think. So disappointing and then the person in the kitchen I can't say the chef set fire to the Xmas pudding and set off all the smoke alarms it was quite frankly the worst Xmas dinner I have eaten in 60 years

Went for my birthday lunch yesterday and had quite possible the worse meal i have ever had out.For starters we had Calamari which was raw came out white and doughy. Nachos which were burnt with an oily watery coating at the bottom. Basic garlic bread with cheese which turned out to be the most edible thing from the whole meal.Mains i had the steak and chips which came with 3 big greasy onion rings. I do not expect much from a pub dinner steak but this was awful. I asked for it medium rare it came out over cooked and tough as boots with a big bit of gristly fat attached. Luckily i had my dog with me so he ate majority of it. The three others all ordered burgers with were also dry and unpleasant.The young girl who appeared to be the only person working was very nice and provided a good service. We did not complain to her as it felt unfair to her as it was not her fault.As it was a Monday afternoon we did not expect it to be busy but there was only us in there until near the end of our “meal” so there was no atmosphere.All in all very disappointing.Hi Angie,Thank you for your reply, i did email you but am yet to have a response re the refund.RegardsJo
