We ate here on March 4th which was a beautiful spring day and so we could sit outside. I would like to thank Nico for looking after us so well. He could answer all my questions when I mentioned that I needed a gluten free meal and the salad was excellent and I loved the presentation of the meal. Easy to thank Nico as we saw him but thanks to the people in the kitchen as well.

Had a few beers and a burger with a friend. Food was great and good value. Beer was good but a bit pricey. Service was excellent, really cheerful and efficient, well looked after by Nico and Virender.

Fun spot with a patio and farmhouse seating with a wonderful wine and cocktail selection. Good selection of beers on tap too. Frequent visitor.

Excellent venue I’ve been to with friends many times. Sadly they (the duty manager - short, aggressive gentleman with awful attitude) let themselves down today. After making us pay our bill half way through eating our lunch (including 12.5% service charge) (!), we complained about this and were offered some compensatory drinks by the member of staff serving our table, problem solved... Above mentioned gentleman then decided to cancel this settled issue and instead insisted on addressing the whole table with a heated argument trying to justify his position incorrectly, all very unnecessary and has a) tainted an afternoon with friends and b) has sadly resulted in us no longer choosing the venue in future.
It is expensive for what you get, a given considering the location, but normally a great experience. If only the service had reflected this today.

Our waitress Rosie was top notch. Helped us with a birthday surprise and was 10/10!

Nice pub, but took an age to get our first round delivered to the table, despite ordering our drinks before the tables around us. You can’t goto the bar yourself which would have been much quicker. Mates started complaining about it but all was fine after that.

The Lighterman Restaurant came recommended to us, so on our trip to London in February 2025, we booked and thought we’d give it a go. Lovely setting, our table looked out on the canal. We were fortunate to be served by a fab waitress Rosy, from the moment we were seated, she made us feel welcome. She was efficient in taking orders, and checked in on us regularly without being intrusive. The food was amazing, especially the flatbreads, although everything we had was great.
I highly recommend this restaurant experience! I look forward to my return.

Came here for the 1st time a few weekends ago with friends. Hands down this was the best Sunday roast I've had in a pub for years! Finally a pub that gets the roast potatoes (the most important bit!) perfectly! They were the perfect crispy brown and really fresh (IME so many pubs seem to serve their spuds pale (so often that I now always ask for them to be extra crispy though they still often fall short) or others taste stale/reheated. Here however they were perfect. The Yorkshire pud, gravy and veggies were also delicious. Great portion sizes and attentive service too. We will be back!

We just got out of the restaurant, whare I celebrated with my girlfriend my birthday. The meals were delightful as well as the drinks we were suggested to pick up. I took a glass of cider it was really good ! Again the cuisine is tasteful. you see and feel there is a research on the dishes and especially on the sauce ( the truffe sauce is a guilty pleasure!).
We were served at a reasonable paste and the suggestions made by Sophie, our server, was reallly pertinent. It was a real pleasure having her on our table. She was reactive, smiling and full of good suggestions. I recommend her !
The restaurant is a little noisy when it's crowded. But nothing really problematic.
At the end of our dinner, we went on to thanking the chef and his team for this delicious dinner we will remember for ages !
A place to go and to enjoy !
PS: Thank you again Sophie !

Great service and setting, close to the trains
The staff tried to cater to my allergies but it didn’t leave me many options. I had soup which was lovely but didn’t have much choice if I were to go back
