I visited this pub/restaurant on couple of occasions with my family and friends and was more than happy with the service and food, hence on this website looking for their other pubs in Sunninghill area (for my friend). I was really surprised to read some comments about this restaurant having high prices (no different than any other in my opinion) and no atmosphere. Staff (mostly South African I think) were always pleasant, though really young.

I eat out quite frequently and will certainly visit this place again, especially as I live only 3 miles away and there is no better place in the area re food or prices.

A place for middle-aged middle-class ladies (and a few gents) who lunch. Apart from the splendid location on the river everything about it is very ordinary - OK food at slightly high prices; OK beer; a lot of seemingly untrained staff so its pot luck whether you get to be served by someone competent and/or friendly; no atmosphere to speak of.

Have visited a couple of times at the weekend with baby in buggy, able to get round to the river side and have a couple of pints in superb riverside setting. watching boats moor for a quick a drink and move on adds to the 'on the river' atmosphere.
the prices are high and the food well overpriced, we waited an hour for a table and then it took so long for anyone to even acknowledge us nevermind take our order that we gave up and walked out, at those prices I would expect excellent service but they were busy so probably don't care anyway.
the interior lacked atmosphere and it all had a restaurant kind of feel to it but worth a visit just to sit by the river with a cool pint on a summers day.

Have popped in on the way home from work on a few afternoons with a mate, were in our working clothes, steel toecaps etc.......but clean! Even so a lot of pubs don't like you dressed like that these days, on quite a few occasions we have received a warm welcome from a guy who I assume is the manager. It's enough to make me keep popping in for a swift couple of pints of Aspalls......and we don't live in our working gear, have also taken the missus when I'm in civvy's. Service can be slow, especially when the guy behind the bar has to make a few coffee's, why can't the waitresses do the coffee??

Over all, staff friendly, ideal setting next to the Thames, can't go wrong with the Aspalls......it does for me.
