About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
Situated on our very own island, we’re very fortunate to benefit from Maidenhead’s finest al fresco dining and drinking spot, where everyone is welcome.

Eat, drink and indulge, from classic gastropub favourites to modern, healthy dishes – and weekend blow-outs from our chefs’ specials that make an occasion memorable.

True hospitality is about making you feel you’re at home away from home. We cherish our regulars, but are just as welcoming to first time visitors, so if this is your local, don’t be shy in recommending us to your friends. We’ll give them a peachy welcome too!

From a decent flat white, to a great value lunch, an indulgent treat to a well-made cocktail, there’s always a reason to visit.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

    The entire team at the boat house are lovely, friendly , kind and professional. Sadly the service was so slow. We didn’t get our drinks until after our food arrived. They were delicious. The coffee was not hot but lovely as well. The setting is extraordinary and that is the reason we were there. Smiles from the team all around and for that we were grateful. We will return!

    The restaurant has a lively atmosphere with pleasant views over looking the River Thames. The food was good. However, the service was poor. This is the second of three visits to this restaurant where the service was unacceptable. We are unlikely to go again. We consider that waiting over half an hour to have our plates cleared is very poor and consequently we did not have a dessert. A shame because the venue is good.

    Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that everything was not right and would love to pick this up with you directly. Please get in touch with us directly so we can look to putting this right.

    The restaurant and the view of River Thames is beautiful. The food was good but not excellent. Service was good and the ambience was calm for the first part of my meal. The second part was less so and I lost my appetite.
