Marks & Spencer in Cherwell

Me and my boyfriend came here months ago for a wonderful meal. We were served by Brice and Arnie who made the experience even better than the food. Exceptionally wonderful staff all round. Highly recommend for special occasions

Our band, The Shuffles Band from Bristol, were lucky enough to play at Cherwell Boathouse for a wedding. Stunning location, helpful staff. It was amazing. Sound levels were not an issue for our band. We would recommend!! x

We had our wedding reception here and it was fantastic. A lovely setting, delicious food, friendly staff and punting during the drinks reception! I'm so happy we chose the Cherwell Boathouse and can't wait to visit again. Photos by Neil Hanson

Really enjoyed our time there, a popular spot so parking isn't great but the road normally has availability for 3 hours. Using a punt boat was fun, and even though we had to wait for one to come back, we enjoyed a drink in the pub next door. Highly recommended.

Nice vibe in the conservatory area. Sunday roast was amazing - one of best I’ve had. Presentations of the dishes were beautifully done too.

We attended for a wedding and could not have been more blown away by the service. The staff went above and beyond to make our kids comfortable and looked after at the event. Special thanks to Ian who was a champion and really made the night for us with his friendly service! Can't thank you all enough!

Very good dining experiences on three occasions, though short of excellence. The seafood dishes were all delicious, though my steak could have had a bit more care taken in its preparation. As the picture shows, it is fairly uninspiring and unevenly seared. The desserts are simple but tasty. The location is lovely in the summer. My only other quibble is the state of the toilets - often smelly and dirty. That being said, this place clearly knows their food, and there is great potential to improve it even more!

Lovely dinner. Nice spot. Fully recommended.

Lovely friendly place. Had a lively few hours punting in the river.

I was treated by my lovely girls to Mother’s Day Sunday lunch, I had the smoked eel to start, which was to die for, followed by steamed mullet, another dish of total deliciousness. I don’t normally have a dessert, but the pistachio cake with rhubarb swayed me and I was not disappointed, Devine!! We dined in the conservatory, and although an outside space with sides, it was adequately heated, and we were able to enjoy the view of the river, entertained by the punt boats. I would thoroughly recommend, the food was excellent, service very good with knowledgeable staff and we all had a very nice day
