Went here after work a few weeks ago. Beer fine, food awful. Waitresses and staff all really nice but let down by the awful food.

Was out with the wife walking round Fulham today. Got to lunchtime and she wanted to find somewhere nice to eat a sandwich with a view of the river. Whereas all I wanted was a decent pint. Then came across The Boat House and it looked like it might satisfy both.
And as we managed to get a table on the upstairs balcony with the river view, and they had Deuchars IPA on, we were both happy. The upstairs area had two hardworking staff running around providing table service although they were slightly let down by the kitchen, as it took over 30 minutes to come up with two sandwich platters and I wouldn’t have said the pub was that busy. However when they did turn up I cannot fault the quality.
Can also confer with the comment that it attracts ‘Rahs’. Braying loudly seemed to be the standard method of communication for one group of young ladies. Don’t they teach the art of gentle conversation at Finishing School now?
Anyway in conclusion, not a pub I would choose to have a session in, but for a place to have a break and a decent snack and a pint, the experience was good.

We visited the boathouse with a group of 10 friends for what we hoped would be a pleasant pub lunch. The staff seemed helpful enough, however our orders came at inconsistent intervals. Secondly a meal came out that was incorrect (the wrong fish-dish) and the waitress attempted to coerce my friend to take it instead of what he ordered: "it will be a forty minute wait otherwise". Such contempt for the customer to punish them for your mistakes - fish takes a couple of minutes to cook and a pub's screw-up should be rectified first!!!!
ARgh!
Then we complained about the inconsistent serving and screw up and the manager decided to excuse the kitchen for being busy - like a customer cares about the busy-ness of the kitchen. Then he offered nothing to make up for the mistake - and promptly left when he had been of no help and hid from us for the rest of the meal until we left.
I won't be coming back, in fact I will make a point of telling everyone I know not to go there and if I walk past I will mention the sorry experience to anyone walking towards it's doors.
Avoid at all costs until they fire the manager and learn to treat customers nicely

£3.50 for a pint of bog standard lager… ouch!!!

Young’s Ordinary, Tribute and Bombardier are also available from a very nice barmaid.

There is outside seating which looks out to the river, but the quality seats are at the top by the window (see picture above).

It’s a shame that the pub itself is so bland and it’s definitely not worth the extortionate prices.

Found the drinks very expensive, plus the fella behind the bar got my order wrong, leading to minor embarassment all round. The place was full of suits and 'rahs' when I went. Completely characterless. Didn't stay long.
