Situated on the picturesque riverside between Windsor and Eton, The Boatman is hidden away from the bustle of the town centre, and boasts some of the best views in Windsor. We visited on a very busy Saturday evening and were delighted to be welcomed by friendly, professional staff and a fresh menu.
This popular venue features a large, sun-drenched terrace, half covered by a conservatory with a retractable roof. You might be lucky enough to grab a spot right by the riverside, and as the evening cools, staff provide blankets for added comfort. Such an idyllic location makes this a desirable place for an event, and it’s available for private hire.
Step inside The Boatman and you’ll discover an interior that’s just as delightful as the setting. A relaxed pub, complete with nautical quirks, is home to a menu that goes above and beyond your usual pub grub. The talented kitchen team creates freshly made appealing choices for all kinds of appetites. Whether you’re visiting for lunch or dinner, you’re in for a treat.
My spiced crab, crayfish and avocado timbale starter was a particular delight and the fresh seafood flavours made it the perfect light bite for a summer’s evening. On the dinner menu you’ll find dishes that are more than generous in size, all cooked perfectly. My main of slow-cooked duck leg fell away from the bone and was the star of the evening. If you have space for dessert, consider tucking into the signature Eton Mess while overlooking the namesake town.
If you are looking to catch up with friends over a bottle of wine, a day out with family or to hold a large event, make The Boatman your first stop – you may stay longer than you originally intended
