Always a lovely dining experience, although we'd reserved a table inside, with the weather being so nice the team were relaxed about us sitting outside for a couple of drinks first. Food was great and service as always was brilliant.

Food took a good while to arrive, even though it was fairly quiet in terms of patrons. Unfortunately, the steak wasn’t cooked medium rare as requested, but ‘well done’. However, the burger I ordered was delicious. After pointing out the steak issue to the server, it was removed from the bill. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Unfortunately, the day we visited they had experienced an issue with the gas in the kitchen and were only able to offer a limited menu. We were advised of the issue as soon as we arrived and the staff were incredibly apologetic. We chose to stay and had an enjoyable meal. The lower marks are reflective of the limited menu on our visit rather than a problem with the food or the venue. We would be more than happy to revisit when in the area. The service from the staff was impeccable throughout.

Visited last night with family , we had travelled down for the races and had pre booked a table. Staff were friendly and attentive but not rushing us . A good selection on the menu - we opted for starters of hummus, bread , olives, and a camembert. Mains of fish & chips , roast lunches of pork and chicken it was all lovely and fresh well needed after a long drive! Kept us topped up with drinks and check backed on all courses. Lovely views . Would definitely return if in the area again

Firstly the service was good. The food was very average and pretty expensive for standard pub fayre. Too much batter on the fish and hardly any fish, miniscule portion of peas, chips ok. Quite dark and gloomy inside and not particularly clean. This was my first visit and I would not return, there are far better riverside pubs.

Sadly this was not a great experience. Two roast dinners - one chicken and one pork. The pork roast was okay. The chicken was very disappointing as there was hardly any chicken at all. For the money, it felt like a rip off really. It was just a tiny drumstick and what looked like a wing! One of our group had the burger which tasted very nice but both the burger and the fries were only warm - not hot. Plus there was no veg or salad with the burger / just a burger and fries for £16/17 which seems a lot for not very much tbh. The roast potatoes in both meals were not cooked very well, not crispy and too firm in the middle / could have done with more cooking time. For dessert we ordered the raspberry tiramisu and two sticky toffee puddings. The raspberry tiramisu was unpleasant and couldn’t be eaten. The other desserts were just okay. We had booked quite a few days in advance and the pub was not overly busy, so we were very disappointed that we were sat at a table away from the windows that overlook the river. This area was very cold and dark and just felt a bit miserable. All three of us were cold the whole time we were there. The staff however, were all really lovely so it’s a shame that everything else let the pub down for us, particularly as in the past the food was always great. Won’t be rushing back!

I've been to the Magpie twice for Sunday lunch recently. I had the roast beef. The most recent time was Mothers Day and I got a free glass of prosecco. Generous portions, meat cooked nicely and good roast potatoes. There was a separate additional jug of gravy for each plate which I really appreciated. My husband had porcetta which he reported was very tasty. Our daughters had fish and chips which were nicely done and crispy. We came with our small dog and the staff were very friendly and helpful, getting him a water bowl and blanket to lie on. All the staff are really friendly. I would highly recommend this pub.

A first time visitor to The Magpie due to their inaugural Vinyl Night. Lovely pub, good staff, nice atmosphere, spacious, and welcoming with a good selection of ales. The Vinyl Night DJs played a great variety of tracks in the upstairs room, creating a lively, feel-good vibe. While the downstairs bar provided a place to relax and chat away from the music, if preferred. Look forward to returning.

As a regular I should probably mark The Magpie down so you don’t come here and ruin it for me. They keep the beer well, care about the choice and the food is very good. The people behind the bar are friendly and the service excellent. The garden by the river is a gem. Can’t fault it sadly…

Really excellent food (sandwiches, finger food) to go with the very good and reasonably priced house champagne. Tremendous place for a small party.
