A large spacious quality riverside pub with a rear patio and conservatory overlooking the Thames. There are plenty of different areas for either eating or just drinking. A general refresh in January 2026 include new toilets. The side facing the river has an open terrace (with four tables) - and a definite sun trap! Interior panelling and lowish ceiling lends to a cosy and comfortable ambience. There is a real log fire opposite the main bar in the winter. Kitchen open 9am for Breakfast at Weekend.
From the pub's website: "The pub was acquired by Fuller, Smith & Turner in 1814 and rebuilt in 1907. The pub expanded into two adjoining shops in the 1980s, with the large conservatory extension added in 1984."
Historic Interest
The public house was established as The Bell and the first record of a licence is in 1751. The name was expanded to Bell & Crown in 1787. The pub was acquired by Fuller Smith & Turner in 1814, and appeared as ‘At River Side’ in the 1881 census. It was rebuilt in its present form in 1907 on condition that the licence of the neighbouring Ship Aground be surrendered. The Bell & Crown expanded into two adjoining shops on its river side in the 1980s where the large conservatory extension was added in 1984. The 1907 re-build was an excellent example of the Arts & Crafts style of architecture.
