The Weir Hotel in Elmbridge

Beautiful quiet location on the towpath a lovely walk to town along the very picturesque towpath. 4 th visit to this historic inn. Very friendly staff & loved all our stay's in this historic inn.

I ordered a Guinness, barman produced his mobile phone & showed me an image of a pint of Guinness with a head on it after I asked for a top up. He told me that was a pint of Guinness, Well, weights & Measures would say different. It was not a full pint of Guinness poured, Another member of staff had the nerve to call me a weirdo for just asking the Guinness to be topped up, Most Irish pubs scrape off the froth head with a knife or such & top up the Guinness without being asked. Big heads on a pint of Guinness advertise, So, the Punters are getting mugged off big time. Ordered sausage & Mash & I got sausage & large fries instead,Food well OTT in price, Lasagna ,sausage & Mash,single red wine & a pint of Guinness that wasn't a pint even after I requested it to be topped up £45. Ever been had?....

Very helpful staff and great food

Charming old school pub. Servers are always friendly and chatty. Beautiful in the summer on their rather beaten up terrace. Kid and dog friendly. Erdinger on draught, more like er-banger as its a great pint.

Had five days holiday here with my wife fantastic location and good value will be visiting here again and the staff are so friendly 👍🍻🍻😎

Excellent location by the river and near the locks good service nice food

I've used this pub since the 1980s and was shocked by my last visit ,the staff don't communicate with you what the price is ,instead just wave ,,sadly a card machine at you ,we ordered 2 portions of chips which arrived and upon tasting they were tepid and tasted of dirty oil ,that's been re used time and again ,sadly this gem by the Thames is no more

One of my favourite riverside pubs ever. Huge outside seating glorious interior awesome banter worthy bar staff and of course pukka grub. Come see for yourself

Had some drinks by the river, pint of soft drink was expensive, river views = expensive 😞

I have been to the Weir hotel several times for lunch and drinks.. its location is perfect on the Thames river walk, which I always use for recreation The food is very good and the service is superb 👌 and the price is very reasonable.

Went there with my godson and it was the first pub we went to... we sat outside, it was sunny and our Guinness was perfect... the we carried to another pub along the river.

Great location next to Sunbury Weir, the roar of the water complimenting the garden overlooking the river. Perfect place for a pub meal and a drink on a summer's evening. Lovely walk up and down the river to walk the extra delicious calories afterwards. The rooms are quaint but well appointed our room with a four poster bed and balcony overlooking the river is lovely. The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful.

Great place to sit outside on a warm summers evening. Plenty of seating and very friendly staff. I can recommend the chips.

Wonderful spot, food very good and generous portions, highly recommend.

Lovely location, friendly staff, amazing food and great value.

Great place for post-match drinks.

We had a lovely overnight stay here. We arrived around 6-30 on Friday night and the car park was full, we managed to squeeze in a very small space but not ideal for guests to not have reserved spaces in the car park . I would definitely recommend this…6 spaces reserved for guests so that there is never the position that you may need to park up the road. Anyway! ….we checked in and bought some wine and sat on the wall waiting for a table…it wasn’t much of a wait, we then ordered food, which was really nice before retiring to bed. Bed was really comfortable, rooms were lovely and some great touches of hot chocolate, biscuits and toiletries. The balcony over looking the water is lovely and a great spot for a cuppa in the morning. Cooked breakfast was great and the quality was very good. Service from the staff was excellent throughout. We will definitely be back!

Lovely setting on the River Thames with good parking and a very large outdoor seating area. The menu is nice and plates of food I've seen look good but I haven't eaten there as yet.

Brilliant location, hidden just behind the Excel gym, had a workout and then came here, smashed 12 pints and the fish and chips were awsome followed by some chocolate melty thing and then some shots

Excellent customer service, went above and beyond, was leaving before breakfast, so they arranged sandwiches at no extra charge. Location perfect, food delicious

Great value and quality good honest pub food. Good range of beers and drinks. You can’t beat a pub pint!

Great pub with really nice traditional roast on menu, desserts very good and obviously a great location by river. Return every year for family reunion and always good atmosphere.

We had a lovely one night stay prior to our visit to the Hampton Court Palace Flower Festival, and we're delighted with this lovely old hotel. The staff were so very friendly and helpful, the food was excellent and we had a very comfortable night's sleep. Our room had a stunning view of the river and Weir.

Great place for a walk to and then settle down to a beer and bar food. Great location by the Weir and the sound of water and boating.🛶

The only pub in the area with the right vibes and interesting selection of Ales. Menu is a bit more than the normal pub grand and that’s a plus. A bit messy inside but it doesn’t clash with the general countryside vibe. Knot for a date. Much better for a summer day or a feisty Sunday.

Beautiful spot, nice people and great location

Really good place for a beer, rude staff but at least you can sit outside far away from them

Good location, staff friendly and helpful, but overall it needs some updating and it could be fantastic.

We stopped here for a light lunch while walking the Thames Path. It was very busy but our food came quickly and was very good. Notably, they were also very quick and efficient at clearing tables even outside.

Met a friend for lunch. About a year since I had been here. Food is always good - honest pub grub. Staff friendly and attentive. Reasonable value for money.

Had food here a couple of times outside... was very nice.. fish and chips were great..

Once you have found this little gem hidden by the side of the Thames. It truly reminds you of the book The wind in the Willows with the lovely view of the river and wier. The food is very good value for money and the staff are very helpful and friendly.

Lovely spot by the river- great amount of outside space ), perfect for a sunny day 😎

Excellent hospitality. Lovely food and great beer.

A great British pub set right in the Thames opposite the Weir. Great for frontage for the good weather and boat mooring. Been going for decades. Great food and staff.

A welcome break from the rain on my Thames Path walk. A decent pint and a tasty BLT sandwich.

Lovely day out by the Weir, watching my sister complete her 9th Marathon in her 10 in 10 challenge. Had lunch after at The Weir Hotel. Lunch was lovely and our dogs were made more than welcome. Would definitely recommend.

Friendly staff, lovely setting and if u go try the sharing nachos or halloumi fries... so good

Every time we come on a Sunday we have roast pork... and it is DIVINE!! Friendly staff, beautiful location right on the river. 5 stars x

Staff were very nice, location is fantastic. Only had breakfast here but it was substantial, very warm and tasted great. Sadly the quality of the rooms let the experience down. My room badly needed modernising. Door was incredibly difficult to unlock, toilet flush was broken, and it was just generally worn out, no where near the quality of the cheaper hotels nearby. It was clean though.

Had a Christmas lunch here with my two daughters. We all agreed it was tge best Christmas dinner wed had out for a very long time. Delicious turkey, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, FRESH sprouts ( unheard of!), we thoroughly enjoyed it. My starter, which I was a bit dubious about, was delicious.I think it was bulgar wheat with edamame beans, dates and a lovely sauce. Prawn cocktail looked good too. The two young barmen/waiters were very polite and attentive thankyou both. We'll be back! 😋

Lovely setting on the river. But Sunday lunch was poor.... Meat was tender but portion was small, cauliflower cheese hard no taste to sauce, carrots hard. Potatoes roast & boiled 2 of each. A portion of peas swimming in gravy, i think trying to hide the small portion of meat. Finished with what I thought was a aunt bessy yorkshire pud.

Good food, brilliant location, especially in the summer as it’s by the river. We had 2 kids with us and a pram, the access could have been a little better for the pram. Other then that I would 100% return.

Arrived at 2:45 Bank Holiday Monday, pub was packed as a tribute band was playing. We ordered starters at 3pm and they finally arrived at 4pm, an hour's wait. I ordered mains only and had a further hour's wait when they arrived at 5pm! I had a 2 hour wait! My burger was over cooked and lukewarm and I had to waste half of it. A nominal discount was volunteered, I think as acknowledgement of the appalling service. Although the staff were friendly it does not redeem a truly disappointing experience. I shall not be visiting again despite its picturesque location.

This pub has a lovely location but the food is sadly very mediocre. Roast chicken was tough, roast beef was tasteless with watery gravy and cauliflower cheese had a floury sauce but no cheese. One plate had a Yorkshire pudding another didn’t. Not at all impressed.

Great food and service. Lovely location recommend it to anyone wanting good pub food, very dog friendly with a river view

Came here on Coronation Bank Holiday and were lucky to find they were having a beer festival and live music. Very tasty food - I chose the homemade Thai Green Curry which was delicious. My husband chose the Steak & Ale Pie which unfortunately was Steak and Stilton when he began eating it. This was sorted out quickly - he received the correct meal and a pint of Abbots as compensation. Another plus point is the free mooring right outside the pub - good if you’re visiting by boat. Overall a very enjoyable visit.

We found this place on-line as we were attending an event at Twickenham.It was fantastic beautiful old building with all mod-cons the Staff are fantastic friendly and helpful good choice of drinks and delicious food . lovely outside area on the banks of the thames.they could have changed double and it have been good value for money will definitely come again

We spent 3 days & 2 nights at the Weir on Thames and it was amazing! Comfortable accommodations in a relaxed friendly and affordable environment. Our new favorite getaway spot!

Review of pub dinner and unacceptable behaviour of Manager who offered to microwave the meal which was stone cold and insinuated theft of a glass Disgraceful and unprofessional Manager will tell all not to frequent this place

This was the second time we had visited this venue and we had an equally good experience, albeit over ten years apart! Our meals were delicious, well-presented and reasonably priced. The service was first class, and I would particularly thank Jess, who looked after us, for her friendly, efficient and sympathetic approach. The only slight downside which we experienced was the stepped approach from the car park to the restaurant itself, which one of our party, who is partially disabled, found it difficult to negotiate. Nevertheless, we would definitely come again, and recommend it to our friends.

Firstly a little surprised there’s no table service. Not ideal for many reasons, but the biggest is, the meals all came out at different times. There was a 20 min wait for two of the party. In some cases the starters and main courses arrived at the same time. Been once and honestly I wouldn’t rush to go back. Food wasn’t bad but far from special.

Meeting with the team for our Christmas lunch. We had a 3 cousre meals, with 4 different main meals...all of which were lovely. Staff were attentive and we weren't rushed. Excellent place...(apart from some customers leaving the door open...making venue cold)

Went for evening meal. Staff friendly enough and service good but food dreadful. Ordered Haddock&Chips, the chips were alright but the Haddock was the strangest I’ve ever tasted. It was so heavily smoked and salted that you couldn’t tell what you were eating, perhaps that was the intention. Also had very weird chewy texture which I’ve never come across before and was the biggest fish I’ve seen served up for one. Have been trying to find out on google possible matches for this fish but couldn’t find any. Will not be returning!

we had a great family lunch here - i could not fault the food, pies were amazing - not had a pie in years and it was lovely (asparagus and mushroom). everything was hot, fresh, well cooked and served promptly and with great smiles from the staff.

Stopped here for a quick drink on a fairly long walk, it became a long drink, they have some great beers and the food is pretty good too. The staff were welcoming and had good beer knowledge and were happy to offer samples of some of the more unusual beers. We will certainly return on a regular basis. Thanks we really enjoyed our visit.

Excellent service. Staff were very nice. We were made to feel welcome as soon as we arrived. Food was excellent. The room was really nice. With a big bath. Very comfortable bed. We will definitely stay here again.

The hotel is a bit off the beaten track, and you do wonder as you drive down the road as to whether you are on the correct road. Quaint place besides the river comfortable seating inside or out. No table service inside or out, everything...

food was hard and stale made my mum ill and was a very long wait. also a lot of youngsters delivering alchohol

We have been here several times over a number of years. Tonight however placed at the wrong table, told there was no Merlot but apparently there was, the Rioja was fine though. Told coffees would be free as compensation of move. We were then asked...

Lunchtime pub meal - no burgers! Not off to a good start Food when it came was average. I did expect better Batter on fish undercooked, peas a bit dried up ( cheap peas I thought) Beer/larger was good - Spanish lagers on tap

Very tired and uncared for appearance, poor cleaning, most staff friendly. Will not be returning in a hurry, would not recommend.

Stayed at The weir for 4 nights,the whole place was very tired needed a good make over.Bedroom was ok needed abit more of a clean on the daily basis.We eat 2 nights there surprised the food was good and the breakfasts were fine.But needed a...

Booked this hotel as a base for a weekend of rugby, I arrived before my husband and the staff were very friendly from the start making me feel welcome. Cannot fault the room it was adequate for wat we wanted and all the facilties needed...

Riverside pub with outside seating, reasonable food and helpful staff. Somewhat gloomy interior that could do with a makeover, but useful for a lunch stop along the Thames path.

It’s a busy pub over any bank holiday with its tranquil settings but the food today was incredible. The Caesar salad was probably one of the best I’ve eaten in a long time!

Spent 4 nights here for hubby's brothers 60th ......room was small but had all you needed in them .....apart from a chair to sit on ....so no where to sit when you wake up apart from on the bed ....breakfast was very nice .......lady that...

There was 6 adults 1 toddler & a baby. Warm friendly welcome, lovely food all different mains & desserts, all excellent cannot fault. Will definitely revisit in the summer.

Ideally located for our overnight stay before going to Kempton Park. Room was very clean and comfortable, lovely staff and very nice food. Will certainly be coming back.

All staff are friendly and very welcoming, very good service and excellent food. Also the rooms are well decorated and very clean, I particularly enjoyed the biscuits.

Thank you once again for a lovely stay. All the staff were amazing, always smiling and very friendly. We came to stay again for my daughters birthday as she loved our first visit to the hotel, and she wasn’t disappointed. She loved the four poster...

Lovely Sunday afternoon soiree. Stopped on a walk after having taken the nearby Sunbury ferry. Plenty of outside seating. Yes it’s not swish furniture and decor but a feel of an old fashioned pub. Very helpful and polite staff. Had drinks and some starters. A...

Afternoon lunch . Very expensive sandwich served up in stale bread with green mould on the crusts. Complained ,got a refund. They blamed the bakery. The pub looks very run down now .

Came here today with my elderly 80 plus yr old parents having left another nearby pub feeling unwelcome, where we had planned to have lunch. Thus, we were not feeling that upbeat when we arrived and were met by pleasant helpful staff who quickly took...

Great food friendly staff, good value for money. Salmon was very nice and roast dinners excellent although Yorkshire puddings were a little on the hard side.

In for a burger and beer with friends, Great service from Molly especially. 10/10 would classily booze again.

Thank you to all the staff at the weir that provided great service at the weekend, The cold beer was served very swiftly even in very busy periods and the waiter service was very much appreciated by all the staff on duty.

The homemade duck spring rolls are excellent. Chips are ok. The chicken wings were swimming in the BBQ sauce, I just sent paper recycling back 50 years with the amount of napkins I used. The salt and pepper calamari was the worst I have ever...

We stayed at the Weir Hotel for 3 nights in September. This hotel is really dog friendly and allow your dog into the bar and breakfast area. The breakfast was very good and freshly cooked. We ate at the hotel in the evenings and the food and service was excellent, however, it was the view that stole the place for top marks. We had a King balcony room, which over looked the river, was , very clean and comfortable. The 4 post bed was a dream to sleep on, the furnishing where old but in character with the hotel. I would definitely stay in this hotel again.

We had heard good thing and while we sat by the river it was a great place to rest.The main course was ordered and within minutes it had arrived, very good pub food. the staff were great, very attentive so we decided on dessert and we ordered and sat for over 30 minutes waiting, other people were receiving their mains so when the table next to us ordered and received we decided we would leave, went and got a refund with no explanation for the delay. what a shame

Visited here yesterday and have to say was very disappointed . Ordered 2 x pies with chips and peas when they arrived the portion of chips was 12 chips on the plate and a table spoon of peas when i queried this as not acceptable with waitress she was very adamant that they was the exact portion so I asked another waitress who apologised and brought out more fries and peas 20 min later after meal was finished .. same happened with the desert so paid for extra ice cream 30 min later after hot pudding was eaten still wasnt served so cancelled the rest our meals were of not very good standard in my opinion for the price we paid . Such a shame as a lovely pub lovely location and I have to say the pub was quite at 5pm so not to busy to serve either .. will visit again but not for food very very disappointed all round .I do think this public should have a designated dog area maybe under the canopy as a lot of dogs and one child got bit just by walking past a table !!

I've been visiting since 1995 and never had an issue taking my dogs there until this evening (Sept 1st). My partner and I had been there approximately 40 minutes enjoying the last few rays of the sun before Edmund (deputy manager) decided to order us to put our dogs on a lead despite them not causing any form of trouble to anyone else.As a result we are of the opinion we will be unlikely to bother to return.On questioning Edmund why this was needed he said 'it's our policy' but when asked if he had been told to do it admitted he was doing it of his own volition.I've checked their website and it still says "dog friendly" with no mention of leads being required outside (or anywhere else for that matter).We chose to take our custom elsewhere I put the dogs back in my car.I returned to get the name of the individual who had levelled the dictat towards us and a colleague of his (possibly the manager but don't really care) started giving me some story about aggressive small dogs on the towpath and it was a decision by the owners...did I know them! Really? I said I didn't believe him and left. Regardless...if it is a new policy it wasn't advertised well enough and there was plenty of time to tell us while we were and without the unpleasant manner with which it was delivered. A potentially pleasant evening ruined.

If there is a pub serving better food than the weir please let me know eaten here several times never had one complaint great food good service decent price just love the place travel over ten miles to eat here well worth it.

Right by the Thames, they have a good sized car park but ideal for walkers and cyclists too. A large outside area by the water with airy covered areas during this covid period.And the food is excellent. My fish and chips was perfect - a large piece of fresh succulent cod wrapped in a perfectly prepared and cooked Doom Bar batter.

Great location right on the Thames. A table in the beer garden with a drink on a sunny afternoon would be great. However, we went for a family evening meal as part of the Eat out to Help out scheme, and that was very disappointing. Obviously there are Covid-19 measures in place, so we all expect some disruption but they were very under-staffed. A long queue to get to the bar to place our order was followed by a very long wait for our meal and when it finally arrived, they forgot one of our orders, so my wife had to wait a further 15 minutes to get her meal. Quite disorganised and under-staffed. Will not eat here again.

I just wanted a quiet weekday lunch on the Thames and it’s turned me into a nervous wreck. All the right social distancing sounds are made, with signage etc. but in reality it doesn’t exist. The lack of booking seems to mean a complete lack of responsibility from management. This was my first trip in 4 months to any venue after coming out of shielding as an extremely clinically vulnerable person, there were also many elderly (and therefore vulnerable) customers, we were all appalled at the complete lack of enforcement of social distancing from a mass of children running and screaming, weaving between tables, bumping into people. I was forced to move tables three times to try and get somewhere safer. I know it is not the managements fault that the parents don’t care about social distancing, but it IS the managements fault that some of their customers put all of their other customers at risk and were clearly breaking the rules. This is a global pandemic, and should be treated as seriously as one. I will not be returning to this pub ever, I will tell others to steer clear, and actually this experience has made me lose faith in the hospitality industry.

I've been enjoying lunches here for many years so decided to go back today and take advantage off the "Eat out, help out" offer. All seating is now outside where the benches all have umbrellas to keep off the rain, or the heat. We sat in the 'gazebo' as it was intermittently raining. There was no need to book in advance which made a nice change in these difficult times!The menu is extensive and well balanced. Sandwiches are now back on the menu, but baguettes were apparently voted off by general public opinion. This is a shame.I had the chicken pie and my friend the fish and chips. The pie was one of the best ever with lots of juicy chicken in a thyme flavoured sauce. My friend's fish and chips was huge with a perfectly cooked piece of very fresh fish.I finished off with the chocolate brownie sundae which was beyond perfect! Two coffees completed our excellent meal. The service was prompt and polite.Based on today's experience I shall certainly be going here regularly even when the August offer has expired. Thoroughly recommended based on today's experience.

The staff and management are very friendly and professional. There was a mix-up with our reservation, but they did everything possible to accommodate us. This included a complimentary dinner. The menu has a nice variety of daily specials not just typical pub food. Everything we had for dinner was excellent.

Stopped to have an early dinner after a 6 mile walk, I ordered the burger; it was so over cooked I could hardly cut it. The menu also said brioche bun which it wasn't, it was a dry white roll. Very sad looking side salad but chips were okay! I said to the waitress to please ask chef to cut the small piece of burger I had left so he might not over cook it for the next customer! Very poor first experience, I wont be back for food!

The new management made a huge effort to look after us and cope with our dietary requirements. All the staff were welcoming, friendly and professional. Despite it's size, The Weir feels cosy and intimate. Enormous promise for the future with this new team.

I passed through Porlock Weir as I walked the SW coast, dressed as a lobster, for charity. The management and staff were super supportive and helped promote my walk in the hotel. They were kind and cheered as I entered. And the food, accommodation and service was excellent. I'd recommend to all who pass.

Good food, nice wine, excellent ambiance. I attended a private wedding reception here a week ago and although having lived in the vicinity more years than I care to remember had never visited this fine hostelry. It’s one of four/five drinking/accommodation stops on the Thames which would have been a day’s haul for a horse and barge on their way from the London docks - long since disappeared with say, a cargo of timber or coal. There’s another pub opposite in Lower Sunbury and two others upstream in Walton. The landlord had done his own ‘hog roast’ - “delish” (not brought in) and with all the side dishes done as a buffet made an excellent meal. A hundred guests went home fully sated. The staff were friendly and efficient - nothing more to say, other than I’ll certainly be going back!
