We came in four on Saturday and had lunch in the small cute room at the back of the boat. The food was good and the service was excellent. Here are some pictures of the small plates I ordered.

Our second visit for a Sunday Roast and the food was incredible. The truffle cauliflower cheese is a little pricey as it’s a large portion (more than enough for 3 people). If they could also offer a smaller option for one that would be amazing! Staff are fantastic and the boat is really cosy on a cold winter day.

Great Sunday roast! Highly recommend the trio of meats. Second time here and again it did not disappoint, attentive staff and good food. It gets quite busy so definitely book in advance. Will be popping in again soon!
