Shaun Dickens at The Boathouse in South Oxfordshire

Staff are so lovely and welcoming! Very quick service with a smile. Only stopped for a drink and a light bite but really really nice stop, highly recommend :)

Fabulous Boathouse Full English breakfast with 5 chums who all tucked in and enjoyed every mouthful. Clear plates all round. Staff were very welcoming and attentive even with all tables being taken. Beautiful location and a new regular spot for our meetups. Thank you.

Called in for breakfast, very polite greeting, lovely view of the river, we both ordered the full English, and 2 coffee's, coffee's weren't over warm, I ordered fried eggs with my breakfast, over easy, which means turned over but yolk still runny, nobody likes a snotty yolk, but it came out exactly that, nobody came to ask if our food was OK, so I had to cut out and remove the yolks, we encounter this problem with eggs regularly, why don't chef's know how to fry an egg properly, baffles me every time!

Great food absolutely amazing service - they get the order right first time every time- The view of the Henley river from the deck is amazing - they open early so really great place for breakfast if your mountain biking

Good food, went on team do and they wanted a quick turnaround, I need some time between courses, just had to push out desserts! Apart from that all good

Our party of 4 each had different meals and we all were over the moon with our food .Lovely decor and atmosphere.Great service.Can’t wait to return.

You may think that by having such a prime spot on the river they could get away with average food, but that isnt the case at all.A real surprise and in the top 3 chips I've ever eaten. Delicious salt beef baguette and chips with a pint. Very reasonabpe too and solid portion sizes.My one small criticism is that the salt beef baguette could have done with a bit more meat in but the bread was so crunchy and sauces so delcious I really didnt mind that much.

A Lovely BistroWe have been fans of the chef since he opened 5 years ago. With this re-launch of the popular restaurant we see a new menu, and a new decor. But the same outstanding cooking.We started with a 3-way starter: we shared the smoked salmon, the burratta salad and the oysters. ALL were fine - the burratta and oysters were even better. My main was a rib-eye which was cooked perfectly. For deserts my wife had a HUGE creme brulee and I had a chocolate/banana dish -finished off with an excellent Expresesso Martini (one of the best I've had here). All in all, a wonderful dinner at a fine restaurant. We had a great welcome, a nice bottle of wine and a fine meal. We SHALL return!

Service and location are exceptional, service fairly formal. Food technically excellent with some interesting flavour combinations and unexpected textures. For me though the food lacked an 'edge' to set it apart, still perfectly acceptable as was the bill for this very well run restaurant.

Fine dining. Cozy, smart restaurant. Lovely decor. Good service. Amazing food and service. Images show our choices for the evening. We visited 16 March 2018 in blizzard weather. Staff were excellent and attentive. We had good conversation with the owner/chef, Shaun. Loved to hear his passion for food and dining.
