The walls feature pictures of fruit, which compliment the place mats. Formerly the Spade and Becket, this Scottish Courage pub has changed little. It is pleasantly situated by the river. There is, however, a wide range to choose from. The Boathouse, situated near the river, is a large Greene King pub serving a wide variety of beers.
Food is expensive, but good.
Although bustling at lunch, service was quick. Don't be caught out by the sign outside advertising food - the brewery have yet to repaint it. In compensation however, this pub does serve flowers best bitter at 1.20. It has a large interior, with saloon and public bars. We purchased a round of 3 pints for under 4 pounds, however this was compensated for by a relatively high price for the food - over 5 pounds, although there were some cheaper sandwiches and baked potatoes, with special offers on Mondays and Tuesdays.
