Boathouse in Wandsworth

Had a great time here, good prices and great food, Matisse helped us with our order, she was very helpful so thank you Matisse, will have to visit again!

Had a great time here and food was good! Matisse was our server and her smile didn’t miss a beat despite our large, complex order with picky guests. Thank you so much!!

Love this place, great for both a quick drink or a celebration. Fun atmosphere and always had great service, Matisse is so lovely.

The service was great. Matisse made sure my experience was really good & that i was well looked after

Really lovely atmosphere, I had a great time here. Amazing food and service, I was helped by a lovely young girl, Matisse, who was great with showing me the menu and what was best to order, I’ll definitely by visiting again! Thank you Matisse

Had an amazing Sunday lunch here a few weeks ago- fantastic service from Matisse really welcoming and attentive. 10/10 would recommend

Absolutely fantastic experience! Matisse made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Came in for my birthday a couple days ago - had a fantastic time. Atmosphere was really nice, food was fantastic and the service was amazing - big up to Matisse

Great food (best fish and chips I've had in years), welcoming atmosphere, and amazing service, specifically from the bearded manager, Jacob - I will be returning!

Brilliant day out ended at this place. Jacob (I think is his name, tall guy with big beard) was amazing and very knowledgable on the place and area. We are planning to come back for Christmas drinks!

Visited early afternoon when we were the only eating customers. Hence slightly disappointing atmosphere. Service was a little distracted by drinking customers. However the chef seemed attentive and produced an excellent late lunch for us.

Lovely venue overlooking Putney Brige and The Thames.

I recently enjoyed a delightful pub lunch at The Boathouse in Putney. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, complemented by a lovely view of the river. I started with the pork sausage roll, which were perfectly crunchy and seasoned. I also tried the fish and chips, deliciously crispy and bursting with flavor. Our server, Jacob, was not only attentive and friendly but also tall, with a striking beard that added to his charm. His recommendations made our meal even more enjoyable. Overall, The Boathouse is a fantastic spot for a casual lunch, offering great snacks and a pleasant setting. I can’t wait to return!

Great meal, made even better by Jacob who is an asset to the establishment. Lovely setting. Good venue and pleasing drinks options. Special setting right on the river.

Splendid pub in a great location happily the early autumn weather meant we could take in the view. Staff were greatJacob was very helpful and polite

A huge thank you to Jacob who made the whole process fantastic, amazing service from bar to table. He help create a warm friendly atmosphere which made our group feel so welcome. Thanks again Jacob for all that you did for us today to make our visit memorable. We will be back 😊🍻

Absolutely delighted with my pub lunch experience! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, the kind of spot that feels like a home away from home. Jacob, our server, was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. The food was spot-on! I went with the classic fish and chips, and it was crispy perfection, served with a side of chunky, golden fries, mushy peas and some delicious curry sauce. The zesty tartar sauce was genuinely the best I’ve ever had. You could tell everything was freshly made with quality ingredients. All in all, this was exactly the kind of pub lunch you hope for but rarely get. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a warm, friendly atmosphere and truly delicious food!

I came to the boathouse for Sunday lunch with my family and the big beared manager named Jacob was very friendly and attentive to our table. We could even bring our dog! The roast was terrific and the drinks were crisp good day at the pub

I recently visited The Boathouse, and it was an all-around fantastic experience! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was excellent, and they had a great selection of drinks. But the real highlight of the night was the exceptional service from Jacob. From the moment we arrived, Jacob made sure we felt welcome and looked after. He was incredibly attentive, always making sure our glasses were topped up and our needs were met without us ever having to ask. Jacob knew the menu inside and out and even recommended a couple of dishes that ended up being our favorites. It's rare to find someone so genuinely dedicated to providing top-notch service, and Jacob truly went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. If you're visiting The Boathouse, make sure to ask for Jacob—you won't be disappointed! Highly recommend this place and looking forward to coming back soon.

Went for dinner and drinks with some old friends last week and was pleasantly surprised. The manager on shift Jacob was extremely helpful with everything. He readily tended to our allergies and his food and drink recommendations helped us feel at ease and well looked after. Would return just off the strength of this young man’s service!

Very nice pub Youngs staff very friendly very professional had a nice long chat with a two managers on duty bar clean and tidy very well presented please pay it a visit

Came for a few drinks with friends. Harry and the team delivered some excellent service! Great range of beers on tap. Will definitely be visiting again!

Steve has been excellent, very friendly and professional . Food was lovely, would recommend to anyone

What a place! Great little find by the riverside; sunk a few pints before my big game. Props to Harry and the team for some great service!

Had a lovely time at the boathouse this weekend, got served by Harry who's a happy chap and a good chat. I hope he won his first volleyball match, go buccaneers!!!!!

Came for a Sunday roast and stayed for the riverside view! A great place to catch up with friends. The service from Harry was amazing! Definitely coming back

Lovely beers, fish and chips was out of this world. A real 3 pointer! Big thanks to Harry for the excellent espresso martinis

Great place for a pub. Lovely atmosphere and amazing food. Staff lovely too. Especially Harry. Thank you 🙏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The strawberry blonde haired guy behind the bar - 5 stars to him - Theodora I think is the name?

I went to this lovely pub on Friday and the coziness was unbelievable, the service that was given to me by Joel(I think that is what he told me😅) was outstanding everything was just amazing he made sure that me and my finance were all good on drinks and food, just a lovely chap in all. Will for sure be coming back soon

Such a great place to go for food , the Scot eggs and Sunday roast is proper banging and the service from Harry was very welcoming and has huge amount of info of the food to help us decide…. will be returning ..

The boathouse is the perfect venue for private functions! I had my birthday celebration there a few weeks ago. Staff was excellent and the food was amazing. I can in for a drink last night and it was a great vibe! Thank you to all the staff

The food was good. My friend thought her burger delicious. I enjoyed the gnocchi. Service was excellent: friendly and prompt. Luckily, it was a pleasant evening and we were able to eat outside. The loud music, mixed with general chatter, makes conversation quite difficult, unless you shout..

Lovely pub with lovely atmosphere. Great pints and great service. Had the roast beef and highly recommend with a side of broccoli. Will definitely be visiting again!

One of my favourite pubs in SW London. If you have't been yet, it is truly one of Putney's hidden gems. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great atmosphere with a wonderful view. Rooftop terrace has a nice ambience and having attended a wedding ceremony there I can highly commend the level of service and attention to detail that the staff showed. Will definitely be returning for yet another pint. Thanks!

Food is amazing! And the viewing is really nice. I like how staff members have set up the balcony tables, it looks very cozy. Stff is great! Specilly Steve, he was looking after my table and service was excellent!!!

Lovely spot for sunday roast. Great pints with great service. Roof terrace provides lovely views of the river especially at sunset. Will definitely be returning again. Thanks team!

Jake is godsend. He helped carry my disabled daughter up three flights of stairs so that she could see the beautiful view of the river Thames. Great knowledge on drinks recommended the lovely Rioja. This pub is a hidden gem and jake is its shining star. Will definitely be coming back

Jake!!! Keep the drinks coming!!!!

Jake makes every visit feel unique

Jake, the mastermind behind the scenes, ensures everything runs smoothly.

I was at the boathouse with a big group of friends and we were served by a ginger haired guy ‘ I think his name is Jake’ he was super friendly and we had the best evening because of him. Thanks Jake so much for making our night so fab. We will be back. Natalia

Jake. Best staff member they've got!

Lovely views, service and food. Top tier Sunday roast and huge private space available which will come in handy for the future for sure

The staff are really pleasant, although one of the dishes was wrong they corrected it immediately and with little wait.

As the Boathouse is one of my locals, it’s a place I go to often and, after my first few pints there - I was sold. The staff are some of the friendliest you could meet; always up for a chat (when they have a moment to spare!), extremely helpful and have a keen eye for detail whether it’s getting a good pour on a drink or making sure everything is perfect for your function on the top floor. I don’t eat there too often but whether it’s the roast or the sausage rolls with apple sauce (I cannot recommend these highly enough) it’s always done to perfection. With all said and done, the Boathouse is a brilliant pub with a view that’s almost just as good. Ps. No really - get the damn sausage roll.

Lovely few drinks on a midweek evening, cosy pub and friendly staff, will be back.

Great food and service, lovely setting. Would highly recommend.

I’m a regular at the boathouse and the service is always amazing!! I can highly recommend going there for lunch and a nice pint

Very profesional team and friendly the very taste scotch egg

I was looking forward to having a lovely roast dinner. It was busy but that's no excuse for the poor service. Got our own menu and waited for a while to be served at the bar, even though we were seen, clearing the other tables were more important than taking our order. Food arrived without cutlery and missing items and when pointed out had a shirty response. No condiments at the table and sauces that were meant to come with the roast dinner never arrived even after I asked. Paid a lot of money and felt disappointed. Food tasted OK but my partner found a piece of string with his pork roast which shouldn't have happened. For the price I expected better.

Lovely staff and great food. The best roast dinner I've had in a long time

Great spot on the river. Friendly staff!

We had a great work/friends reunion party in late September ‘24, and it couldn’t have gone any better. Wonderful and really helpful staff. Great atmosphere and very welcoming. Ace location as well. Overall a great place to meet and have shared experiences with friends. Thanks again to all the staff for making it such a successful evening. Justin

I went for an event at the boathouse Putney fairly recently - was debating writing a review but after discussions with friends we agreed it was for the best. The complete lack of regard for my allergies - which I reminded the waiting staff of multiple times - was absolutely shocking ! Additionally, my vegetarian friends were not well cared for at all. Would not recommend to anyone with any kind of dietary requirement.

Tasty light bites and friendly staff. Don't forget to water the pots of flowers on the tables!

Food was very nice and the staff were very helpful.

Extremely thankful with Erika , she really take care of our table.

Currently one of my favourite places at the river around Putney. The staff is very friendly and helpful which makes for a great atmosphere. There is a lunch time menu which offers sandwiches and other meals outside of the classic pub food. The wine list is also good.

The man behind the bar is shockingly bad Large glass of wine with ice? No thank you. Terrible staff who don't know the meaning of service

Great time, despite of the damp weather. Outdoor seating overlooking the Thames covered by large brolly. Recommend the Zinfandel, luscious red wine.

Had a great evening. Lovely atmosphere, great views of the river and some very tasty seafood! Joe and the team offered some spectacular service 😄

Had my engagement party here & the responsiveness from staff from booking to at the actual party was excellent. A HUGE thank you to Connor and Rebecca for their help! (Small note - also loved how it was dog friendly!)

Upmarket. Neat. Clean. Good setting and views

Held our pre-wedding gettogether at the Boathouse upstairs and on the terrace. It was the perfect venue with fabulous service. Particular thanks to Max for managing the whole night for us is such a professional and capable way.

I couldn’t help but feel disappointed after my visit to the boathouse last weekend. The bar was very busy and there only seemed to be two workers behind the bar who were very slow and seemingly incompetent. The first drink they poured me was not what I ordered so I had to wait for a new drink after already waiting ages to be served. I almost felt sorry for the bartenders clearly with little experience. Following this, we decided to move onto a different pub and I can confidently say I will not be returning to the boathouse. Such a shame.

Brilliant service from Simon, Max, and Tom. The music was great and the volume perfect. Staff were really responsive and the place was spotless. The Boathouse gave me back the will to live.

Had an amazing night at the boathouse. The drinks and the food were great but the highlight was the staff. Special shout out to Tom, Max and Simon who really made the experience extra special. Would highly recommend!

Amazing staff, especially Simon, Tom and Max. Thr drinks were great, the atmosphere fun. Will definitely come back!

Great location. Lovely staff Great food

Lovely pub, which backs onto the Thames.

We had a relaxed family meal outdoors early evening. There was a good selection of pub food and the staff were helpful and friendly. We ordered food at the bar & service was prompt. Would happily visit again.

Great venue for party. Food was delicious and great service

My husband and I recently had a summer party for 85 at The Boathouse in Putney. The venue was fabulous, overlooking the river, particularly the balcony, which was a real hit with our friends. Working with Rebecca to plan our event was a pleasure and the team on the night were fantastic. If you are looking to host a stress free event, in a great location with good food (we had a selection of canapés) a good selection of beer and wine and great service, I would highly recommend it. Thank you for everything.

We are here the evening before a family celebration. The staff were warm and friendly and the menu was excellent. The food was really good which was served on time. The staff were excellent

I booked a table for dinner on Saturday 10th August at 7pm. It was already really busy which was not a problem but was incredibly noisy with loud music. Asked if we could move, but staff said a party upstairs meant it wasn't possible. We couldn't hear ourselves speak, and found a table outside, but loads of these tables were empty but had not been cleared, obviously for quite some time. We sat outside for a short while but couldn't attract the attention of any staff, no sign of them anywhere. Massive queue at the bar, barely moving, and hardly any staff. Eventually lost the will to live and walked away. The menu looked good, but I would have had the mussels, however I saw someone order it, and it was served up on a plate, not in a pot so would have gone cold really quickly. Shame, maybe we were unlucky to go on such a busy night, but the staff really appeared to not care. Disappointing.

Booked an outside table for dinner with friends. Being a lovely sunny evening, the Boathouse was very busy as it's perfectly located right next to the Thames and obviously the place to be in Putney on a summers evening - but our table was clearly labelled as reserved showing the actual booked time (unlike some venues) which meant our table was empty and waiting for us when we arrived. Great, friendly and efficient service throughout the whole evening and the food was fantastic (calamari starter, steak main). Venue had a lovely relaxed vibe. Fantastic experience. Will definitely return.

Had to wait over 50 minutes for food to come to our table. Food was tasty but service subpar. Not worth the wait.

I met a friend for lunch and the experience was very enjoyable. The meet and greet was done well and the menu was given quickly as was the taking of the order. The quality of food presented was good and both of us completed our meals and commented on the quality. Service staff engaged us in conversation .

Came in for a few nibbles and cocktails with the ladies and got the best service ever! Employees were so so lovely and made the most amazing cocktails! Elena and Max were fabulous bartenders, tendering all our needs! Will definitely come again!

Incredible attentive service. Elena and Simon the bartenders gave great service and we had a lovely conversation. Will return!

We had 3 tables as a large pre-wedding meet up. The staff were excellent and patient with us all our dog. Well done

Came in on a Sunday and had really great carvery and service. Mia served us and was lovely and polite. The food was great and the place is kid friendly which is always great!! lovely place to visit especially on a sunny day.

I’ve visited The Boathouse on several occasions, and felt the need to stress how great the place is. Service is always first class, with staff all too happy to go above and beyond to make sure your stay is as enjoyable as possible. I’ve eaten a couple of times too, and certainly cannot fault the chefs here! Special shoutout to Simon who has worked there for ages and we love him to pieces!! However all staff are exceptional. Also, the music here is also awesome and also helps the terrific atmosphere of the pub. Many thanks to Team Boathouse x

The Boathouse was the perfect venue for our 50th birthday celebration. From the start, Rebecca, the manager, was phenomenal and a real pleasure to deal with. She made the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free, providing invaluable assistance on the night to help us and to make us feel at ease. The bar staff were exceptional, working tirelessly to meet the demands of our very thirsty guests with efficiency and big smiles! The backdrop of the river added a beautiful touch to the evening, enhancing the overall ambiance. Our guests couldn't stop praising the venue, and we couldn't agree more. The Boathouse exceeded all our expectations, and we cannot recommend it enough. Thank you for making our celebration unforgettable!

Came here last weekend for drinks and food. Service wasn’t good at all and very understaffed. Seemed poorly organised. All the staff seemed unfriendly. Food was good but bad experience ruined it.

Absolutely amazing experience, dan and elena were particularly amazing bartenders and great people. 100% would recommend.

Being my local I go regularly - under new management it is still as good. Unfortunately though the roast wasn’t as good as usual yesterday but Simon the manager on duty compensated us exceptionally and the squid I had instead was tasty. Keep going good Boathouse…..

No hospitality at all. Wasn't overly impressed with the food, lack of care from the staff to serve us. Guess I'll seat myself get my own menu and whilst I'm at it might as well go behind the bar and get my own drink no effort by the staff to cater to us. Even when ordering at the bar the server was so inept couldn't even seem to understand us when we were selecting off the menu colleague had to assist him. Ordered glass of wine and he didn't even have a clue what he was doing filled the wine glass with ice. Food was quick probably because we were the only ones ordering but even after food was bought they never asked if we needed anything condiments, drinks etc.. you don't even lay the table in advance or provide basic salt and pepper. The roast dinner came as a boned chicken leg no thanks and the carrot was just roasted and not even cut just left whole. Roast potatoes didn't taste right and I'm not sure why you're serving courgettes with a Sunday roast and gravy was way to thin and not proper gravy. Suppose it's a good job we payed before the meal came out because not sure the staff would have even noticed if we had just walked out. Best roast in Putney yeah right.

Really great vibe and excellent service. Special mention to Elena, Simon and Dan who were super sweet and helpful.

Great food. Quick service. Would definitely come again!

I love the service, great vibes, special mention to bartender Dan

Great atmosphere, welcoming staff and good food. Would highly recommend!

Super spot. Really modern and quick service. The food was delicious and the pints were poured nicely. Very chatty and friendly staff too.

Charming bartender called Dan served us - great views and nice place. Will be coming back soon!

Options to watch sports, Nice outside seating, Staff are friendly and quick to order a drink.

Great atmosphere and music. Food very nice but could do with slightly bigger portion. Great service!!

We came for a my mums birthday and we were a big group of 13. Special thanks to Erica and Max who were attentive and hands on. Food was good and everyone enjoyed their time.

Staff are very friendly, food was amazing!! Lovely views, definitely recommend

The Boathouse in Putney is a fantastic pub that ticks all the boxes. With great food, a lovely atmosphere, and a friendly team, it’s a must-visit. Highly recommended!
