This was my first visit to the Boatman. Reasons I chose it other than the good reviews was location (on the river) and the choice on the menu. I’m a personal trainer and do struggle sometimes to find ‘healthier’ options so I’m his menu was a blessing ! So many different choices. I went for Seabass with new potatoes and fine beans on the side. It was absolutely delicious and a really good amount of food too 😮 The food was served in a really good time considering it was very busy. We sat in the outside area and although it was warm, they kindly turned the heat off in our section. The staff were really welcoming and helpful - they checked on us a couple of times and couldn’t do enough. Can’t wait to go back !

Lovely food but we were sat in the conservatory which was full of Xmas party people and very loud and we wanted a pub atmosphere, if I go again i would ask to be inside the pub.

Food is getting better each time I go. Small but thoughtful menu. Small but very clever wine list, with a lovely pink Prosecco. Three different large ambiences: outside by the Thames, inside a well climatised marquee, or inside the old building. Near other Windsor attractions, although I’m a resident. Moving fast up my list of favourite restaurants

The staff were friendly and professional. They made a special effort to accommodate our party of four so one of our number in a wheelchair was able to feel comfortable and included. They also were honest about the bill pointing out an overpayment we had made. Thank you.

Food was fantastic and service staff were really nice but other customers very ignorant of a bolted door next to our table which they kept opening resulting in our guests being freezing for most of their visit.

A great Sunday lunch with the family. A wide menu selection and still roasts available late afternoon which went down well with our group! Pretty generous portions and good quality food. Ambiance and service were great, felt very Christmassy and cosy. Definitely recommend!
