    We had a fab time - delicious food, lovely restaurant, and great service. You can have two coffees in the breakfast deal instead of a juice and coffee. 💪🏻 The French toast is really yummy!

    Lovely spot on the river , restaurant is bright and spacious even on a very dull day . One of the dog friendly places which was most appreciated by our restaurant loving Cockapoo. I had driven all the way down from Cheshire to meet my son who lives in London so a welcoming place to meet was essential . Food when it arrived was very good , we can highly recommend the Duck . There was a bit of a wait but the staff took the service charge off our bill without us even mentioning the wait as they felt it had been too long . Great recognition by them , Would highly recommend a visit here .

    This was probably the greatest culinary experience of my life. Managed to get a booking for the Valentine’s Day meal. Not just were the hosts incredibly hospitable but incredibly attentive. The highlights of the menu were almost the entire thing. Both desserts were sublime, the TFC, caviar gougère and roast chicken were amazing. I’ve never seen a scallop as big in my life and for the duck course the main star of that dish in my opinion was the morels. We were put on the chefs table which was like looking into a finely tuned, well oiled machine. There is an almost 100 percent chance I’ll be back in the future.

    Superb food and always worth a visit just for that. But also friendly staff and a classic interior with a vibrant atmosphere when full that is not getting into the way of the conversation on your table.

    We went for a valentines day meal and I am struggling to find any fault. The meal was outstanding; an excellent mushroom and wild garlic soup followed by Chicken ballontine. This was followed by the best creme brûlée I think I have ever had. Accompanied by a great wine choice, this represented great value for money in terms of quality. What makes the difference however is the level of service. Professional, polite, attentive but not intrusive. The owner also came around to make sure things were fine with his customers and it was very clear that he really cares for his customers, his staff and the dishes prepared. If this review isnt enough to convince you, just take a look at the other reviews and ratings - this place is a gem.
