Enjoy Christmas crackers, festive tunes, our pretty Christmas tree by the bar, while you indulge in delicious home-cooked food. With our unique riverside setting you can also enjoy our newly sheltered terrace space, with temporary transparent walls protecting you from the elements, pretty lights & infra red heat panels, it’s a lovely “outdoor” extension to our riverside restaurant.
