We can’t wait to see you in the sunshine
The spring season is really starting to show off at The Kingfisher 🌸 

Our outside areas have had a serious ‘spring glow-up’ and we just want to shout about it! 

With brand new chairs and tables out on the Terrace and a new spring menu, there’s plenty to talk about 🙈

Pop in and see it for yourself, we wouldn’t want you to miss out.
Spend the next sunny Sunday with us. 

Between the boat, the food and the rooms, there are plenty of reasons to be riverside. We don’t make the rules 👀
