The Riverside Restaurant at Macdonald Compleat Angler

Started with a very nice cocktail once the waitress remembered to serve us! Dined in the terrace restaurant over the river. Stunning g! Good was very good. Scones a delight and four of them! They catered for dietary requirements without any worries. No problems reordering more tea.
Only slight dissatisfaction was the coffee/tea stains and dirty doors to the terrace (cobwebs too). Shame the Jeanette hadn't picked that up!
Great venue though!

I would strongly recommend the afternoon tea, food was lovely - a delightful experience.

Lovely restaurant, attentive staff and very tasty afternoon tea.

Great food good service

The setting is beautiful, the staff friendly and attentive without being over-bearing and everything we ate was delicious. The guinea fowl, plaice stew and puddings (we had three between two of us, having been unable to make up our minds...) were particularly worthy of note. There's a great selection of gin (including some rare and unusual ones) and the rioja offered by the glass was very quaffable indeed.

Fabulous view overlooking the Thames. Great food at lunch. Made the booking on line for lunch outside undercover as it was 30 degrees. On arrival our greeting was abrupt and we were told we were not allowed to eat from the lunch menu outside. It didn't say this on the booking and it could have been handled in a more professional manner by the waiter who greeted us. We were left to stand about feeling we had done something wrong. Luckily the food and view made up for it. Perhaps better training for staff? Also on a hot day maybe you need to rethink your policy on who eats outside.

Fantastic food, service etc - couldn't fault it at all, will definitely go again.

The overall dining experience was very disappointing especially the quality of the first course and the service.

Our cream tea was very nice, plenty of delicious scones in a lovely setting/atmosphere. Staff very attentive without being too over bearing. Our whole experience yesterday was excellent in comparison to our previous visit. Thank you.

We enjoyed our lunch and the food was very good. We had to wait an hour for the starter to arrive, despite the restaurant having very few tables occupied. The waiter deducted 25% from the bill as an apology, which we put back on, as we thought this would be considered a nice gesture. The meal took over two hours to serve.
It was a pity that the crab dish contained only white crab meat, which was fairly tasteless - the brown meat would have tasted much better.
