All I can add to the Gemini summary of reviews is it is accurate, and in no way exaggerates customers positive comments. As a fairly regular visitor to eat at the Boatman’s Rest at least monthly, often more, I can only repeat that the food, service, ale and staff are exceptional. Went yesterday (12/2) and they managed to find us a table at very short notice (always better to book in advance it’s that popular) and treat like royalty. Needless to say we’ll be back again soon.
