please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Lots of staff but either clearing up or taking (food) orders so the service was rather slow. Somewhat upmarket and I found the long line of tall silver fonts rather annoying. One of the two ales was Loddon so top marks to them - if both the beers were 'nationals' I wouldn't bother with this pub despite the views of the Thames.

Great views over the Thames, the food was good but pricey, some of the staff clearly do not like their job! Service at the bar was slow. Real ale was kept fairly well, nice to see that they source from the Local Loddon brewery.

Food is of very poor quality. staff friendly. Lovely views. Expensive
|
Nice location and interior, pricy food and generally poor service.

Bar and seating very reminiscent of a modern hotel bar, all sofas and wrap-around ‘bucket’ chairs, a style that was enforced by the barely audible muzak and the staff member who asked if I needed any help before I had even reached the barman to order my beer! Landlord and Loddon Hullabaloo, the latter was suspect in clarity but not quite rejectable and tasted ok; I think served correctly that would be a very nice beer. Pride of place along the bar was given to a line of 8 tall eurofizz pumps, although they did include Leffe & Staropramen if you are that way inclined. Not my type of place at all but the dining area and outdoor tables do enjoy a tranquil view of the adjacent river and fields beyond.
Overall impression? “I’m not pretentious, get me out of here!”

Great location and reasonable food. But sadly let down by staff who have either been badly trained or employed for aesthetics not abilities.
|
Food is good. Stone baked pizzas. Serves Timothy Taylors Landlord a complete rarity in rural Berkshire. Shame the barman cannot pull a decent pint.

Nice pub. Friendly staff. I didn't dine while there but the beer was excellent and the service prompt and friendly. I liked the decking and the views of the river. The one letdown were the group of giggling women on a table close by who seemed to enjoy pulling faces at me and my disabled companion, which facilitated in us leaving prematurely. I can't fault the pub in any way though and I would heartily recommend it.
