'The Crabtree, with its spectacular position downstream from The River Cafe,
has a huge sprawling garden, a glazed colonnade and frontage on to the
Thames shaded by a weeping willow. The prawns in chilli hot oil and the toast
spread with tomatoes and onions were good, so much so we ordered them
again when we returned for Sunday lunch. Sunday roasts with 'all the
trimming's' - we tried beef and pork - had everything a Sunday roast should
have. Somewhere rather spiffing to go' (Fay Machsler, Evening Standard)

    Food was OK, burger lacked abit of flavour and although the vegan Wellington was nice the portion size was more like a sausage roll than a Wellington.
    The CrabtreeResponded on February 4, 2025
    Hi Jernene, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry you did not enjoy your food on Sunday. We take feedback of this kind very seriously and will be speaking to the kitchen and food team to rectify these issues. We hope you will return to give us another chance. Best, Team Crab

    Lovely pub with charming staff but very bland food. We known the menu well (from The Havelock) but here it isn’t so good. We had a lovely evening (although three screaming children initially were noisy!) but wouldn’t come for the food.

    Hi Elly, Thank you for your review and we are so glad the service was good. We take feedback on food quality very seriously and would love to be able rectify the issues you found, if you could email us with more details of your visit. Best, Team Crab

    We haven’t eaten here for some time but happy to report food, service and ambience all still excellent! Plenty of attentive staff on hand to ensure all was well and that our table lacked none of the essential extras, sauces, extra gravy etc. Delicious food to share and good value accompanying wines. Thank you!

    HI Jan, Thank you for your wonderful review! We always strive to keep our standards high and make sure all our guests are well looked after. We hope to see you again soon! Team Crab

    Nous avons déjeuner au Crabtree un dimanche midi Le service a été un peu long suite à un problème de cuisson de gibier mais le personnel a été très sympa et a fait un geste sur l’addition Je recommande vivement

    Went for a birthday roast - lacked any sort of acknowledgement even though prior to booking had highlighted it. Felt rushed at the end of the meal to vacate the table before we had decided on a dessert as were told they needed the table - when it wasn’t that busy.
    The CrabtreeResponded on January 8, 2025
    Hi Gemma, We are sorry to hear you did not have a good experience with us on Sunday. Bookings have a set time on their table dependent on number of people, and this is stated on OpenTable's confirmation email. If you would like to extend your turn time, please request this in advance of your booking. We were fully booked on Sunday, so we apologise you could not have your table for longer. Please email us to discuss this further and we can offer you a complementary dessert for your birthday. Kind Regards Team Crab
