Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

This is a lovely pub with a large garden that extends down to a dock on the Thames. The Sunday roast that I had was excellent, and the service from the staff was attentive without being invasive. The standard menu is also very good. I...did not try the tapas, but will next time. It seems very popular. This is a dog friendly establishment so there are a few furry friends around, which is a nice touch. We will definitely be heading back in the near future.More

Very disappointing. Viewed the menu on the web page but on arrival found the three best things had been removed, leaving a very limited choice. The Linguini was too spicy and stodgy. Lovely location, shame it was let down by the food.

Friendly staff, great location on the river, great food. I regularly order the tapas. The satay, patatas bravas and prawns are delish. I'm prompted to write this by the review I just read here giving the tapas a low score. I've brought several people here...for the tapas on half a dozen occasions and they all loved it.More

Lovely spot, nice garden, god awful tapas. Though I’d visit the pub again, I don’t think I’d bother with the over priced food if the “tapas” is anything to go by.

We booked well in advance and had to tweak the booking a couple of times. The staff were very accommodating then, and on the day. We were able to access our table early and order in dribs and drabs. The food was great and service...good.More

Saw this place from the river and made our way over for early dinner. Service was exceptional and staff did all they could on food and drink recommendations. Kids were a bit chilly outside, but there are plenty of outdoor heaters.

Stay away! Food is overpriced & below par. The landlady is horrendously rude (maybe it’s the language barrier) dogs are allowed if you tie them up on a lead in the sun while you’re there - apparently one small dog tried to bite someone once....Not the only option in Sunbury fortunatelyMore

Went there for lunch with foreign visitors, today. The service was excellent, the food was fantastic. There was a confusion around the order. It was corrected without fuss. Although, our visitors could have been more gracious; the Manageress and staff responded with total professionalism. We...will go back again, definitely. But won't take same guests with us next time.More

We went here for drinks and a meal before going to a comedy night. The food was not cheap ( for pub grub) I had the liver and bacon and mash, which was just ok My husband had the fish and chips , over cooked...chips and the fish was awful, the batter was soggy and yellow in colour . We sent the chips back and the next lot were not much better, so we asked for a refund . He didn’t eat any of it.More
