The Boaters Inn, Kingston

This week's selection, The Boaters Inn, came highly recommended by Tamara, so we trekked out to Kingston to check it out.

The Boaters is located at the northern end of a really cute park, and has views out on to the Thames. It has lots of outside seating, and I'm looking forward to visiting it in the summer

The Menu is to the left.

Joining us on the quest today were Tamara, Shaun, Bridgette, Pete, baby Max (not voting), Vera, Roland, Darren, and myself.

Dishes Ordered: (Pictured left to right)
  • Roasted Sirloin of Beef, Yorkshire Pudding, Horseradish (Tamara, Shaun, Bridgette, Vera, Roland, Franc)
  • Roasted Shoulder of Pork, Apple Sauce, Savoy Cabbage (Pete)
  • Wild Boar & Apple Sausages, Mash, Braised Red Cabbage (Darren)










Observations: (collective and individual)
  • Nice portion sizes, nice location, service slow but good. (Bridgette)
  • It's nice being next to the water (Darren)
  • "I would have liked dessert, but they took so long to offer it" (Darren) - what lured us here was that Tam said this pub had really good Sticky Toffee Pudding.
  • Bathrooms accessable from the Pub's vestibule means no one has to sit next to it. (Bridgette)
  • Applesauce with the pork was a a nice touch (Pete)
  • The roast potatoes were a bit hard, otherwise the food was good and an excellent value. (Roland)
  • The roast beef was tender and delicious. (Vera) - Roland claims that Vera described her roast beef as the best yet.
  • Beautiful location, solidly good food, slow service- but we really didn't mind. I'd come back. (Franc)
On to the scores: (awarded on these guidelines)
