    What an awesome tea room! Literally on the Thames!…read more 7 of us booked a table for brunch and were not disappointed! This is quite a big barge and seats about 20 people comfortably, offering a great range of cream teas, sandwiches, breakfasts and drinks. A little quaint, traditional barge tea shop. The cups and saucers are just fabulous and the coffee mugs are varied - all adding to the variety and experience of this wonderful place. The tea is served in leaf form so you have your own strainer, which is really cool! I opted for a full breakfast today which was just right! Unfortunately they had ran out of bacon but I got an extra sausage for that! Locally sourced food which was cooked perfectly from the kitchen you can see at the end of the barge. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, offering their advice and explaining the food options as well. The service was excellent and relaxed. The most important part of finishing the meal is the separation of the bill, especially in a group. However they offered to spilt this and each of us pay separately, this worked great! Overall, this is place is highly recommended for anytime of the day, relaxing on the Thames, in wonderful surroundings, watching the swans swim by.

    How am I the first to add this to Yelp? What an outstanding find. It's a small barge moored along…read morethe Thames. Great tea, food, service, and atmosphere! Highly highly recommend...

    The Larder Restaurant - Chicken Tikka Masala

    Staying in the attached Hilton for a week, I've eaten in the Larder Restaurant several times,…read moretrying quite a number of things from the dinner menu. I've also enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which is nothing if not perfectly consistent day after day. Scrambled and fried eggs, sausages, blood pudding, sauteed mushrooms, bacon, toast, porridge, smoked salmon, yogurt, juices, fruits, and much more. They'll also prepare nearly anything you want fresh if you want to wait, though I haven't. From the dinner menu, I've had the thyme-infused chicken breast with spinach mash and green beans. It was excellent and very fresh. The two pasta dishes were adequate, but I felt they were just a jumble of sauce and veggies mixed up and I don't recommend them. The wild boar burger was an interesting choice, but with the melted gruyere cheese, it was just odd. I also tried the room service menu once, having the chicken tikka masala, which was good. Served with a pile of rice and riata and chutney and naan, it was nicely spicy and a good sized portion. It was delivered extremely quickly, so I wonder if this is some sort of reheated freezer pack, because there was no way it was prepared fresh. Also, the chicken in there was a grilled chicken breast that had been chopped up, so while it was good, the chicken didn't actually have the flavor it would get from being cooked with the sauce for a while. Service is excellent and very friendly. These people stick to a high standard and I really appreciated everything they did. Obviously, if you're staying in the hotel, this is the closest choice. If I lived in the neighborhood, I think I would still dine here.

    Yes, it's in the bottom of the hotel I'm staying in so convenience is 10 stars! That's said, the…read moremeal, atmosphere, and service were very nice. I was pleasantly surprised with their wine list. The Rose Champagne was lovely and very reasonably price at 9.5GBP. They had a good variety of other wines and offer 125ml and 250ml glasses (always a plus if you want a bit more wine but not a full glass). The food as well prepared and presented. Started with the tomato and mozzarella salad. Both were drizzled in really nice basalmic and micro greens. For the main I went with the roasted cod which was really great. Nice crispy skin on top yet the flesh wasn't over cooked. It was on top of a slightly spice harissa mash (I soo want to make at home!) and fennel (yay for more fennel!). The flavors worked really well together! Service was the right amount, attentive but not overly present especially as someone dining alone. For atmosphere they had light music in the background that did well in blending the sounds from the bar I could hear. Honestly, I'd come back here even if it meant having to walk or drive instead of take an elevator down :)
