The Boatman

You're settling into a riverside table with a pint, watching the water traffic drift past — this is what Thames Side was made for. The Boatman pulls off that tricky balance between proper pub comfort and genuinely good cooking. It's not trying to be something it isn't; locals come for straightforward, well-executed dishes and a drink that feels earned, especially if you've walked along the riverside to get here. The setting naturally draws both tourists and the regular crowd who know this stretch of Windsor inside out.
