The Beetle & Wedge Boathouse

The Restaurant

Set on the site of the original Moulsford ferry service, on the banks of the River Thames on the stretch of river immortalised in 'The Wind in the Willows', where Jerome K Jerome chronicled the escapades of his friends' visits in 'Three Men in a Boat', you can enjoy the tranquillity and peace of the riverside setting in our beautiful old beamed Boathouse.

We have established a unique, buzzy, informal restaurant, our emphasis is on the quality of the food, wines and service.

In the older part of the Boathouse you can watch your food being grilled on our famous open charcoal fire - sparkling fresh fish, game in the appropriate season and in addition there are soups, salads, shellfish and casseroles.

Puds are very special and have gained praise from even the most jaded food writers.

Alternatively, take a window seat in our wonderful beamed conservatory to get one of the best views on the river all year round.

In fine weather the Boathouse goes alfresco onto the terrace just a few feet from the river, and there are tables by the sign on the jetty, beautifully set and lit in the evening.

A magical place to sit and listen to the water lap against the bank as you lunch or dine waterside in summer.

Or simply listen and watch the river traffic with a pint of ale from our bar and a selection of top cheeses.

Wines

The Boathouse wine list is a small but enthusiastically chosen selection, they tend to be our favourite wines for current drinking.

We have a fine wine collection offering some remarkable wines which reflect the reasonable prices at which they were bought at auction.
