Situated on the Thames in the beautiful Canbury Gardens, The Boaters Inn is a gorgeous pub and restaurant featuring a riverside beer garden that backs directly onto the park with a quiet sunset balcony.

The interior strikes the perfect balance between classic and traditional with contemporary and stylish. Relax in the riverside raised dining area opposite the bar with mesmerising views across the water, or the smaller dining space by the back garden.

Famed for its standout menu of gastro grub, the Sunday menu at The Boaters Inn features a wide selection of roasts, from roast beef to a plant based Wellington. The roasts are all served with roast potatoes, mixed kale, maple-roasted carrots, mulled red cabbage, Yorkshire pudding and plenty of gravy.

Just a 10-minute walk from central Kingston, The Boaters Inn is easily accessible from Kingston Station.

    Had Sunday roast lunch. We ordered the beetroot hummus starter, which is something I wouldn’t have ordered myself but my friend did and it was really yummy. Sunday roast chicken with a side of cheeses cauliflower was also ordered, and everything was cooked perfectly with the chicken being tender. As I don’t eat pork / beef, they gave me veggie gravy. Shame the peach Melba was out. Instead, we ordered sticky toffee pudding and profiteroles. The only issue with the food was profiteroles tasted not fresh and dry/hard. Everything else was delicious! Good gin and tonics. Service was also great. Great atmosphere on the riverside too!

    Warm and welcoming service here. Lovely location and busy for the Sunday Roast. All the trimmings served with a smile by Imogen and the team. A decent meal and a good find.

    We walked from Surbiton to have a nice roast on the river. Ordered 2 chicken roasts. I do not think there was more than 125g of chicken on the plate. Absolutely ridiculous small portion of chicken versus the sides. I managed to only have a bit of potatoes and carrot before the chicken was finished. When I complained I was told this is portion that is served. Have observed 3 others portions come out which looked double the size of my chicken. Pathetic answer from the kitchen and the manager. If the plate is under. Do not send it
