London's best riverside pub

If you are looking for your perfect summer spot, you have just found it! With seasonal food and drink, a phenomenal riverside atmosphere and plenty on, let our historic Barnes pub be your new favourite go-to.

Built in 1662 and given a fresh face in 1899, we are a cornerstone of local history, where you can catch those famous riverside sunsets that make our pub so special.

Perched on the banks of the Thames, we’re all about warm welcomes, great service, and good old-fashioned attention to detail. We serve up hearty, seasonal British food (the kind that makes you pause after the first bite), whether you need a place to unwind after a busy day or a quick bite after a stroll along the river.

Stuart and the team can’t wait to welcome you.

The best place to watch the 2025 boat race

With the ultimate finish-line spot along the river Thames, our Oxford vs Cambridge boat race atmosphere is unbeatable! Downstairs will be walk-in only, so make sure you arrive early to grab a spot.

If you are looking to upgrade your boat race experience, book yourself in for our exclusive Boat race Gala lunch. Gala lunch tickets include bubbles on arrival, canapes, a 3-course meal and views of the race that even the ducks will be jealous of.

Where every plate tastes as good as the view looks

Vibrant, seasonal, British bistro style, riverside dining. With a focus on fresh day boat catches and classic salads. Enhanced by classic European techniques and influences.

Stuart and his talented Chef team are proud to support British farmers and producers, weaving their fresh, locally-sourced produce into each of his flavourful, one-more-bite-worthy dishes. Sustainability is at the heart of our menu, with seasonal ingredients picked at the peak of their freshness taking centre stage. You can be sure to enjoy a true taste of the season with every bite, from field-fresh vegetables to day-boat fish landed in Brixham Harbour.

Summer sippin'

Just like our food menus, we like to keep our drinks seasonal! With new, refreshing and crisp lagers, smooth wines and vibrant Spritz, there’s a little something for everyone. Our taps change quite regularly,  but if you would like to see what wine, Spritz and no/lows we are serving, feel free to take a look below.

Host your riverside party with us

Planning something spectacular and need a fun, that’ll have everyone talking? Say hello to our gorgeous riverside spaces, with space for smaller or larger parties, and semi-private or private. With panoramic, postcard-worthy views over the beautiful Barnes Riviera and our indulgent, celebration-ready menus, we’re the ultimate spot for a celebration that’s all about good times and great company.

Dog Friendly

We adore your four-legged companions just as much as you do, making us the ultimate cosy, tail-wagging pit stop (perfect for paws and people alike) after a crisp riverside walk along the Thames. With complimentary treats, belly-rub opportunities, and canine “IPA” (aka water, but in a fancy dish), we’ve got everything your furry friend could dream of.

Excellent dining at a riverside pub with spectacular views. The food here is several steps above standard pub fare. We had chicken croquettes with anchovies- a modern twist on a chicken Caesar classic. Our mains were great too. The service & wine selection is excellent.
