At the start of July, we introduced a very exciting new addition to the menu - KEBABS. 

And you might be wondering how they’ve been going down? Well…

In the first TWO WEEKS of having them on the menu, we served over 500 of them! 

So pop down and give them a go for yourselves 😋
A break away from real life. A break away to the riverside 🦋

Sundays. Sailing. Sunny spot for a pint. 

Honestly, does it get better than that? 

Float by soon - there’s a cold drink waiting for you.
A Kingfisher update: 

We’re making a small change to keep our chefs comfortable in the heat. From tomorrow until Friday, the kitchen will be closed between 3pm and 5pm each day. 

All existing bookings are unaffected, and we’ll be back as normal outside of those hours. 

Thank you for bearing with us 😊
New summer rule: if the boat isn’t included, we’re not interested. 

There’s something about being on the river. It just makes sense. 

You bring the company - we’ll provide the post-sail food and drink 👀
