The Boathouse at Boulters Lock - (Near Berkshire, london)

Dave Hayward Can unfortunately only confirm that its totally inauthentic these days. Am sure we had a good time here a year of so ago. Feels like thai made up from local Tesco or Sainsburys ingredients Didnt dislike our food, and it actually arrived very quickly, and was hot, but it felt like another culture were just making up "Thai" because they inherited a restaurant with Thai in the name. Am sure no Thai people would put this out. Watery, buttery Thai green curry, etc. no coconut. No spice. Laab Kai (one of my favourite dishes) was cherry tomatoes, a quartered cucumber, raw red onion and some raw bean sprouts plus the chicken. As others have said more like a greek salad? It was all edible and we ate it and satisfied enough / not poisoned, but Id not order again.

Antoni Pardo Good place, not too busy today, quick service and very polite as well by the two Ladies behind the bar. The burguer is very huge and the point of cooking for the beef burguer is perfect for me. Is a independent Pub, i think so is more warmer for The neighbors who live in the area. I live in Windsor and was just passing through, but I really enjoyed it. To the engineers, come quickly and fix the air conditioning. The nice waitresses were suffocating from the heat.

Henry What makes a good restaurant? Clearly food will feature somewhere on your list and in the case of The Waterside this takes the form of classic French cooking. Nothing is “deconstructed” or designed to surprise. You know exactly what you’re getting from the menu and if you’ve visited previously you probably even know what you’re going to order before you arrive. Nothing is intended to shock. Far too many restaurants at all levels feature a talented kitchen team let down by their front of house. From the moment you arrive here everyone knows what they are doing and wants to make your visit as enjoyable as they possibly can. They’re not trying to trip you up, you don’t have to be fluent in gastronomy or know anything about malolactic fermentation. The sommelier is there to help, not to test. No one is judging you although I’d be lying if said we didn’t people watch our fellow diners a little. You are family when dining at The Waterside, it’s not in any way stuffy or starched. That’s not to suggest service is casual, seamless would be my best description with teams assembling when required to reveal your next course before melting away again to leave you to your conversation. The Waterside is a happy place. My memory of the venue is that it’s a bit dated, the phrase “Chinese restaurant” was used as we drove there but things have quietly evolved. It’s actually quite smart these days. The bathrooms are modern and fresh, the soft furnishings crisp and comforting with a nod to the history of the venue. Let us not forget this is an institution woven into the fabric of British restaurant history.

S L The soft shell crab was great. So was the dumplings and chicken pieces. The poke bowl portion was generous, but lacked in the amount of sauce provided for the rice. One of the sushi came without wasabi, which was either a mistake or quite unfair as it was the less expensive one. Overall nice but bit on the expensive side for a take away

Guy Golan Simple but sufficient

Lisa Atkins Came in last week to watch the rugby, with a group of friends, what a great atmosphere, staff were lovely and welcoming, food was delicious and hot. Drinks were flowing. Nice place to be will definitely come back!!
