“Playground, free 30 minutes car parking, cafe with hot food and toilets, huge car parking, bouncing castle, go-kart for the little ones, splash pool in the summer, ice cream truck, Queen Elizabeth II statue, green area, astonishing riverside walk and boat ride available!!!! What else could you ask? There is also an amazing Italian restaurant 5 minutes walk which is 5 stars too”

“Really enjoyed a hot day here with the kids playing in the paddling pool and adventure playground. It's clean and well maintained area. Will definitely be coming back again”

“We had a great time here. Me and my friends dined here for many times. From the time you enter, the service is exceptional. Excellent ambiance and succulent, scrumptious steaks! Excellent waiters her name Christina who was informed and super nice with us. Carlo their General Manager was super polite and he offered us a best cocktail I ever had in my life.”

“We enjoyed the experience at OXO for my husband's birthday. I looked for numerous rooftop places that would also cater to a 2 year old. Luckily OXO was one of the only ones that seemed to have a Kids menu. Our server Ali made the experience all the more memorable. He was friendly and available when we needed anything for my son. The food was wonderful, and the cocktails were also worth it. On a balmy day in London it was really worth the visit. Loved the meal we ordered. Limited options for vegetarians but for fish lovers and meat lovers food was great, however it is pricey.”

“Ordered 2 meat combo and rice the other day and love it. Authentic HK roast meats, definitely a must try if you live in East London area!”

“Very good. The cricket club has been transformed by the cafe. The food is really good and location right next to the river is spot on.”

“Really lovely café not far from Tate Britain with a great outdoor sitting area overlooking the Thames. The decor inside was cute, the staff friendly and the pistachio cannoli perfect. When I was there, the café was really quiet and it seemed like a great place to relax, read a book or observe the city life.”

“Great historic pub alongside the Thames. A good beer range, friendly staff and - the real highlight - a wonderful suntrap beer garden with river views which I'd imagine gets very full on busy summer evenings!”

“This is a MUST VISIT pub. A flashback in time. Extremely friendly staff, good beer, EXCELLENT food & at a very good price. Upstairs & downstairs terrace makes for a wonderful experience with fantastic views across the River Thames. 10/10 Highly recommended.”

“Great traditional backstreet pub, very friendly staff. Off the hustle and bustle of Borough High Street.”

“Stopped in before Deep Purple at the start of the month. All staff were lovely, especially a young man by the name of James. Very chatty. After ordering my peroni, I wasn't able to find a seat, it was packed! Amazing sign for a pub. Staff were knowledge about the band - especially Meg, who was also going to see them!”

“Excellent experience from start to finish. The staff could not be more accommodating. Fantastic service all round, beautiful and comfortable rooms with the most amazing views. We had a couples massage and it was truly the best massage we have ever had-Highly recommend if you have time during your stay. The only downside was that room service is advertised as 24hour but it is actually only until 10.30pm. Breakfast was also phenomenal. Thank you!”

“A lovely quaint place with a nice forest and plenty of pleasant walks to go on. In the hills there are a multitude of bike tracks to explore and there is easy road access and some parking.the green is sometimes used for cricket so do be careful where you are wandering. Overall a well kept place with stunning views and a few lovely lakes to compliment it. Unfortunately there are not any toilets on site but garsons farm ( just down the road) has some”

“Absolutely fabulous little German riverside restaurant and Beer garden. Quite frankly one of the best Schnitzels in London and the sausages were not bad at all (if a tad Salty). The service is impeccable and friendly and all German speaking. The Beers and cocktails were a treat too as is the amazing riverside view sitting on the terrace. Top tip: Book your table... or you will be sitting inside which is still great (Music played is outstanding) but the terrace is a highlight of you can get it.”

“Best chips in the area and the fish wasn’t greasy it was nice and crisp. Service was great - very friendly and accommodating, would definitely go back”

“Nice Bill’s right on the riverbank. Plenty of outside seating which is nice in summer. Very nice and friendly staff, prices are a little high but the food is good. Nice selection on offer and food is cooked very well. The cinnamon donuts are out of this world by the way!”

“We were walking along the riverfront and looking for a place to have a few drinks. None of the usual bars caught our eye, but the cocktail mene here did, so we went in. I have had the burgers before, and they are delicious, but I was pleasantly surprised by the cocktails too. The vibe and atmosphere was great too! Not just a good burger joint;)”

“This was our second outing at gaucho, and as usual I wasn't disappointed. Fortunately we were able to make it for the Sunday roast, unlike the last time. From the reception, the service was top notch. We got ushered to our seats, and our waiter was Marcus. He did a very good job suggesting some fine dishes and wine on the menu.he was friendly and polite in his approach. The Sunday roast was amazing and the sirloin stake was juicy. I had to put a bit of salt but that was on my own perrogative. I loved every bit of the experience and would highly recommend this place again.”

“Back to a buffet again after Covid. I've missed this place and it was a lovely dinner with colleagues. Looking forward to coming back soon!”

“Veganuary! Very slay. Absolutely love their vegan sausage rolls here, have been getting them for a long time and will for many years to come (god willing), and great hot choc. Perfect place for lunch and a coffee and extremely charming being nestled within one of the arches of the oldest bridge in London‼️ next to the beautiful Richmond riverside. Has an INCRED outdoor seating area which is absolutely stunning in all seasons - leafy and sunny in the shade in summer, beautiful orangy hues in the autumn, frosty and wintery in the winter…. They sometimes have fun activities in this space, like dancing on new years! (Was thoroughly disappointed I didn’t go to this one). Lovely spot for dogs and kids and very friendly staff! Hot tip - Love to come here to start off a walk down the Thames path to Chiswick bridge and back again. Lovely to sit by the edge of the wall and watch the people and boats go past…. Could sit here for hours (have done!) ☺️”

“Lovely pub. Good menu. Good selection of beers. Friendly staff. Two floors dinning.”

“Booked the Boaters for a work Christmas meal and couldn't have been happier with the evening. Staff were friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The food was excellent and the table had been decorated beautifully with crackers! We booked on a Tuesday evening and there was a quiz going on the other side of the pub but this didn't disturb us at all.”

“Real pub! Would have stayed longer if I didn't have to get to the theatre. Non pretentious friendly place.”

“Nice spot with beautiful views of the Thames. On a hot summer day, you can be seated outside on the riverside under the shade of the trees and buildings and have a good time. It was busy but service was good and prompt. Food was delicious and we had a nice time here.”

“We held our wedding reception at this pub and it was amazing! They took care of us through the whole process and the day went perfectly. All our guests commented how lovely of an atmosphere the staff created and no one was ever waiting for a drink / food! The most perfect day at the most perfect venue!!”

“My family and I love being members here. Great facilities, very clean, and plenty of special events for the whole family to enjoy. Our favourite activity has been boating up the Thames all the way to Hampton Court on a beautiful sunny day. Food is also exceptional and we're looking forward to the new members café very much. Highly recommended!”

“Receptionist Nav is professional, supportive of the businesses and always helpful. Regards Simon”

“Been going here since my daughter has been born. Now she's four & she still loves it. Since Covid/lockdown the cafe has changed owners & it is a massive improvement, better menu, much cleaner inside & outside. They have taken the bins directy outside the cafe which means a lot less bloody wasps. We just had a portion of chips, which argubly was a bit exspensive but they were very nice & the portion was big. The beach was & always is very clean, there is now a new play ship built which my daughter loved. Over the past year they have built a splash park with fountains etc. Again my daughter loved it, it was managed & kept clean very well. There is a small cost £2.70 for 25minites or £5 for an all day wrist band. Overall it was a good day at grays beach & its free, so whats better then that. Will defently be going back.”

“Honesty loved this place from start to finish. Food was out of this word. The garlic bread with mozzarella and onion chutney was incredible. Then our waiter Morley, he was outstanding. Attentive, kind and funny. would recommend this place just from his service. We will be back!”
