Nestled along the tranquil banks of the River Thames in the charming Richmond neighborhood, our iconic boathouse restaurant and waterside terrace offer the perfect setting for dining by the water. In the summer, the terrace comes alive with one of our signature barbecues. A standout feature of the terrace is one of London’s oldest Plane trees, providing a stunning focal point for what is arguably one of the city’s most desirable alfresco dining spots.

From our elegantly designed dining room and bar, you can enjoy sweeping 360 views of Richmond Bridge and the picturesque Petersham Meadows. It’s an idyllic location for a leisurely weekend lunch after a dog walk in Richmond Park or for gathering with family and friends to celebrate special occasions.

The food was absolutely delicious. The steaks were a big hit as was the sea bass. Brownie not so good but the other desserts were great. Only negative was that we were celebrating our sons 18th and they forgot until after we had had our desserts when they then brought us a cheesecake with a happy birthday message. A bit late in our opinion. Apart from that it was great and we will certainly visit again.

We've been coming here for years as particularly our anniversaries- one of our fav restaurants! This year we brought our 2 children to celebrate our anniversary as we weren't able to get a babysitter this year. In previous years we've always been given a tiny token dessert that said 'happy anniversary' and this year we didn't. I always enjoy the photo as a memory. The service was very slow. We felt we waited a long time for dirty plates to be taken away in between courses and we weren't asked to order wine after we finished a glass of champagne to start. We would have happily ordered if we'd been offered. My girls had a little oil on the table from their steaks and we would have thought the table would be cleaned a bit better for dessert/coffee etc. the team were very nice but it felt like attention to details was missing as we weren't even there during the main rush time. The food was flawless as usual- the new January menu was delightful (prawns to start, steak and the pancake to finish) and we were lucky to win the OpenTable offer. We would of course eat here again as it's a special place to us but only sharing our experience today. Thanks for a wonderful meal- we had a nice time.

Booking went all smoothly, I received a call back to confirm - all ok. We arrived in time and opted for the fixed menu offer. The starter was barely okay. We ordered the prawns and the beef tartare. The first one was cold and a bit too spicy and the tartare had lots of mayo with the meat. For the main course, we both choose the stake. The meat was indeed great, but the sides were not as good: the 'handcut chips' were worse than McDonalds and burnt and the salad didn't have a great dressing. The salt and pepper on the table are so small (mini) you can barely use them! Not sure what would be the reason for choosing these... For the desert I opted for the Argenine one with fruits & crumbs, to discover the fruits were from the can. Service was good, everyone polite and attentive. The overall athmosphere didn't have any of the warmth one would expect very early January (after the New Year/ Christmas holidays). No candles, nothing. A bit dull - all black with some mirrors and framed posters. Perhaps during the summer the terrace makes this place unique. Long story short: it was ok, but not to the level of expectation set by the brand.

Excellent steaks. Chips were a bit of a disappointment. We had the steak tartar tacos to start which were amazing.

Atmosphere and location was lovely! Food was even better - absolutely delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked, decent quality beef, and the sides were equally as tasty. Highly recommend :-)

The Sunday roast was amazing, and our host, Liam, was outstanding. He was attentive and made sure that we had a top-up on our roast. His timing for each course we had was impeccable. It was the best customer service I've experienced in a long time. I will definitely visit again because the customer service was 10/10.
