    Lovely place for drinks, when we first arrived we didn’t book but the guy/host was so helpful and let us know we could book on line, he recommended another place for a quick drink. After the table was booked we went back and the staff were so friendly and helpful- will definitely go back. Nice peaceful vibes with good drinks in the river

    This is a great venue be that for a glass of wine, cocktail as well as some simple but great food - pizzas and Asian dim sum / tapas. Derren was a great host.

    First time at the Boathouse and we will definitely be back. The guys could not be more attentive, they certainly enjoy what they do and ensure all guests have a great experience.

    The staff were beyond helpful from the moment I called to inquire for a birthday celebration with up to ten people attending. Booking was very simple. On the day we were given a private section which was lovely. The host on the day was Derren who was welcoming, and lovely until the moment we left. Drinks and atmosphere of The Boat is 10/10! Definitely recommend!

    One of the best artesian cocktails in London. Great ambiance (on a boat) and staff that is very accommodating and pleasant. Definitely next trip from the US will include a happy hour or meal here.

    Excellent ambience and very attentive staff who were friendly and extremely welcoming. The cocktails were delicious and a varied array to choose from. The food was very nice, however there was a delay when waiting for our pizza/side plates. They seemed to arrive externally from the Boathouse itself, so when served to us, the food wasn’t particularly warm which was disappointing as the standard of the food was very good. The peanut satay sauce that comes with the chicken satay skewers was exceptionally good. Will definitely be back for more cocktails but will probably avoid ordering food for the reasons mentioned above.

    I tried this place based on other reviews of the cocktails. They did have an unusual list of bespoke cocktails which was nice, but they were a little disappointing, wishy washy and didn't quite live up to the expectation based on the prices they were charging. The bar staff were also not very knowledgeable about the drinks, but I can't fault them for how friendly and accommodating they were, and the snug did have some fun boardgames but if you like a really good cocktail I'd save my money and go somewhere else.
