First visit. Delicious. 4 of us, we ordered a 5th meal as we all wanted to try the venison. So glad we did, it’s delicious. Fabulous service. Will definitely be back again!

Fantástico pub para almorzar, he estado varias veces durante el último año y dos veces en diciembre, una para un despertar de amigos y la otra una comida de despedida con mi hijo antes de que emigrara a los Estados Unidos. En cada ocasión el personal era genial y la comida muy buena, el ambiente, el ambiente y la calidad general era genial y es el tipo de lugar al que quieres volver.

What a lovely meal we had at the Heron on Saturday 30th November. Such engaging staff, particularly Kerry who served us. We are so lucky to have this pub within walking distance of our house

Since my friend lives nearby, we happened to find this pub. I didn’t expect the food to be such a pleasant surprise. I think their slow cooked pork belly is the best I’ve ever had in England. The layer of pork skin was incredibly crispy, but not the hard kind that makes your teeth feel like they’re going to break. Plus, they added mustard to the mashed potatoes, giving it a unique flavour that I really liked. The Fish and Chips came with tartare sauce that had large chunks of pickles in it, which really elevated the texture and flavour. Highly recommend!

Lovely pub/restaurant next to a ford (no surprises there!) Plenty of parking, ambient music, friendly staff, delicious food, open fire. What is there not to like? A large walk-in group arrived just before us (we had pre-booked) so a slightly longer wait for our food than we expected but we were given some complimentary nuts to keep us going and, when the food did arrive, it was definitely worth the wait!

Muy pobre en general. Tuve cordero asado - el cordero era horrible muy graso y casi nada de ello. Se olvidaron de servir a mi marido principal y por eso tuvo que esperar a que esto se cocinara. Las porciones de los niños en £ 7. 50 son pequeños. El queso de coliflor era precioso. También muy caro. No regresaremos.

Un pub abierto muy grande con un aparcamiento similarmente grande. El servicio fue encantador, amable e informal. Disfruté de mi doble hamburguesa con queso con patatas fritas, aunque podrían haber hecho con estar más caliente. Todos en nuestra mesa tenían porciones muy generosas de una variedad de platos. Una amplia variedad de deliciosos postres para elegir. Buena relación calidad-precio.

The HOTF is in a great location and on a sunny day has a fab outdoor area to enjoy a drink in the sunshine. Unfortunately for me I found the food very underwhelming and slightly overpriced for what feels like microwaved pub grub. The interior is inviting and cosy and the facilities are very clean. The pub is also dog friendly and the general vibe is very laid back and relaxed.

I came to the heron on the ford on Sunday the 1st September and it was honestly the worst dinner iv ever had. It was busy and we ordered a roast dinner. We paid 50 pound for it and when it came there was hardly anything on the plate, now I don’t know if they were running out of food because of how busy it was but that’s not the point. You shouldn’t take someone’s order if you don’t have anything left. It was also a 45 minute wait. I didn’t like it the first time I came but I gave in and decided to go for the roast, Worst experience I will not be eating here again it’s disgusting how they charge you that much for this. The service is awful there miserable, unfriendly And make you feel unwelcome

This is a local pub to me and we’ve not had the best service in the past. We thought we would give it another try today. I’m afraid we won’t be back. Staff are so unwelcoming. You almost feel like it’s an inconvenience for you wanting to order food and for them to serve you. It’s such an easy thing to get right especially with so much competition in the area. The starter nachos were a tiny tiny portion. Really not good value at all. Please offer your staff some training in customer service. A friendly smile goes a long way……

Unfortunately a nice place near the ford/ river with a good outdoor area but the service is awfully slow, and we would told over an hour wait for food at dinner time?! You can’t run an establishment that way if your kitchen can’t cope with that many orders coming in. You may as well close it down if that’s the case as you’ll lose customers. Or not serve food and just serve drinks. So not worth making the effort to come here, I don’t recommend it. Food was pretty average too, and they also ran out of quite a few menu items too.

Nice location, although slightly off the main routes. The mentioned ford is rarely passable confidently bit the pub is worth visiting. It is usually busy at the weekends for a reason. If walking the ourh of the Thames, it is not a huge detour and you can take in Charvil rather than a bit of the Thames that offers few views. Well worth a stop.

The location is great but the staff need training. Not friendly on arrival, they do not go out of their way to accommodate your needs such as choosing a better table, adjusting the volume of the music (apparently this is not possible)? Etc. Having been there several times in the last few years, we noticed that the food seems to have declined in quality. The pork ribs were nice but seem fattier than previous visits and my partners fish burger was bland. Oh and the chips were not crispy, possibly even slightly soggy. Definitely room for improvement!

Terrible atmosphere because of warring barking dogs. This place is advertised as a dog friendly pub but there wasn't a friendly dog in there. The barking was deafening at times. The whole bar smelled of wet dog...not pleasant when trying to have a quiet Sunday roast. Waitresses were fantastic, prompt service with a smile but patrons with dogs need to be more aware of the impact their pets have on other people. Not sure they should even be where food is being served. Mine were able to be left! Is this an owner issue? I think so.

Feel a bit conflicted writing this as most visits have been good. Today less so, unfortunately. Slow to receive food (not overly busy for a Saturday night) and food was mediocre. Game lasagna (£22) was overcooked and dry, and served with a paltry salad. My wife's confit duck was a bit better but also overcooked. Nearly £13 for a large glass of wine also a kick in the teeth! Shame as other visits have been better. Hopefully this was a one-off

Having been here several times and never disappointed, this was a rude shock. We ordered hake with polenta and beetroot nonsense and what came out was a fun sized piece of fish, a chunk of beetroot and a ‘slice’ of baked polenta. I’m so angry with myself that I didn’t send it back. It tasted nice enough but for £20 it’s a joke. When they have corn fed celeriac on the menu you can tell when they’re now trying to be something they’re not. It’s left a bad taste tbh.

Premium prices should have indicated premium food quality, however the sunday roast beef was very disappointing. Fatty pieces of beef. The roast potatoes were hard and dry inside and the outside was very tough and took lots of effort to cut. Apple and rhubarb crumble was good.

We thought the music was a bit loud and asked for it to be turned down, to be told they can't do that. The moved us instead away from the speakers however, that meant we were in the darkest corner of the pub and even my 4year old said it was too dark. We asked for his kids burger to come plain, it came drenched in burger sauce. The starters were nice, only other complaint was the fish special was a bit pricey for the portion size.
