| My wife and I visited the Boathouse on two occasions in June 2008 when camping in Wallingford. It's a bit of a Jekyll & Hyde this one. Thursday, it was relatively empty, with polite, attentive bar staff. It's a great place to watch the comings and goings by the river, with large comfy sofas to sink into after dark. Friday evening, even early on, there was security on the gate, easily a hundred Wayne's and Trixie's trying to out shout each other on the river terrace. It's definitely the place to pull on the weekends if you like that sort of thing. Me and the wife don't look too old for our age so we stuck around to observe the unfolding cabaret. I think I even heard the immortal line -"Leave it Craig - He's not worth it'" so we left before it got to the -"Are you looking at my bird...?" -time of the night. watsonworld - 29 Jun 2008 19:20 |
| This pub has no idea of customer service and the manager should be sacked. I was minding my own business sitting outside alongside on their river terrace alongside my small boat. We had our beers and had ordered some food. Out of the blue a female waitress walked across and abruptly told me to take my hat off, which was on because medication makes me sensitive to the sun. I thought she was joking, but she became insistent and abrupt, so I told her not to be ridiculous and go away. The manager then appeared and rudely told me to take my hat off again. This was an outside area well away from the pub - What is their problem! I refused and we were all asked to leave. My brother-in-law demanded back the money we had paid for the meal. It was refunded, but with the comment that we have enough customers and don't need you. This idiot gave away £50 of the pubs money rather then let me wear my hat to protect myself from the sun. The man should be fired and is not fit to hold the post and this terrible pub is to be avoided. I am a 50 something year old, well dress and well spoken. My wife and I have never been so insulted in all our life. mwhi - 16 Jun 2008 21:18 |

| It could be so much better, it really could. OK to sit outside in the afternoon but forget evenings. Needs to go up a couple of classes to scare the chavs away. nickdavies - 26 Jul 2006 12:17 |
| Beautiful location, dreadful pub full of chavs and sleazy old men (my wife tells me). The food is no better than sub-standard pub fare - burgers, chips etc. Selection of beers is passable but lacks any real ales. Good for pool and sports though. It's a real shame that this is the first pub you see coming over the bridge - it looks beautiful, but it's a shocker. Myleftsock - 11 Jun 2006 17:31 |
