My souffle was perfection and had the right amount of leaves etc with it. Our main courses were duck breast and moules et frite. Yes, they were the lovely little chips which I always enjoy in France and my colleague was thrilled with her duck breast. We decided to have the flambeed baked alaska(for 2) and the waiter dealing with this clearly enjoyed his task and was great fun. We both loved the experience and were interested to eat there having been to the Manoir a few times. We were not disappointed and I hope to repeat the visit very soon.

For entrees we had the belly pork £14.50, lamb chops with shepherd's pie (two meals in one!) £16.95 and the salmon with mussels and cockles £15.75. We didn't have time for dessert or coffees. That was £63 plus tip with mains hovering around £16. Our server was good and friendly and was never too far away for us to wave down. Brown's is still a firm favorite with bags of charm. This Browns seems pretty family-friendly. There is a disabled ramp entrance on the side street which could be used for prams. It was closed from the outside but can be opened from the inside. There might be a bell to get some attention too. Can't remember. Once inside there are tables on the ground level to park the pram or place a high chair.

I found they put a lot of truffle mayonnaise on it, which required a scoop to remove. I added some brown sauce. Fries were good. For an appetizer I had the pea and olive tart.

BTW they have a poached egg with mushroom dish listed as Vegan. Whomever overseas the chain menu, an egg is not vegan. Just Egg is, but one from a chicken is not.

For main I had the Chicken with rustic tomato sauce and broccoli. The chicken was really juicy and tender the broccoli tasted fresh and amazing and the sauce was fantastic, delectable, scrumptious! Now the desert. I got the famous Ivy chocolate bomb. Warm brownie and a luxurious chocolate shell.

The breading was delicious and they sprinkled chopped garlic on it with a touch of olive oil. The dipping sauce was amazing. The best entree for the night was Fish Parmentier, and it had a delicious white sauce that it was made with. The buttered mussels were good but could have used more chopped garlic. My 2 sons each ordered Beton Stew and they both were disappointed with the dish. I tried it too and the sauce wasn't great. My wife ordered the Beef Bouguignon and she was disappointed as well. It was the sauce again and she said the beef was over cooked and a bit stiff. My youngest ordered the Rib Eye with the béarnaise sauce. The steak could have been more tender and the béarnaise sauce was too bland and we definitely had better.

It's got a nice romantic feel to it, especially if you come here at night as every table has a candle on it. As such, it's not really a drinkers pub, but more a family orientated/civilized kind of establishment, but this is no bad thing. There's a good range of ciders on tap, and especially on a summer's day, it's a perfect palce to sit down by the water and sup on a cider, and they've got a large outdoor seating area to allow you to do so. It is a little bit on the steep side in terms of price, but just about worth it if you're coming for a civilized drink or two.

I'm talking about a ploughman's, or fish and chips, or my favourite, welsh rarebit (it's not just cheese on toast if it's cooked properly) with the best homemade chips I have ever had. The service was lovely and friendly, even though it was boiling and very busy. The meals at this pub are served with proper chutneys, cheeses and sauces and actually go some way to convincing you that we do actually have national dishes in this country that people might like to eat. Seriously though, try the Welsh rarebit with a side order of chips and a bitter shandy...that's British summer time...you can keep your fruity Pimms Boris! We actually got off to a bad start as when we arrived all of the outside tables were reserved! So it's the hottest day of the year and a pub with lovely food and a beer garden is losing business by reserving most of their outside tables and not letting people sit on them even when they are empty. This is their choice, but a bit of a ridiculous system to be honest. You are actively turning business away for people who aren't there and could show up at a later time. So my suggestion is book a table. And ok so you wish the pub was facing the other way; more toward the river and less towards the road, but now I'm just nit picking.
