    What a stunning place for a day out! We arrived slightly earlier than our lunch reservation and walked through the pub, into the most magical backyard and into an opening alongside the River Thames. Beautiful scenery with the water, horses, ducks, swans, rabbits and lush greenery. We then returned for our lunch. The staff were so attentive, friendly, polite, interactive and answered our questions about the surroundings and said we could park the car and go for a longer walk after food. The food itself was delicious! We had the fish and chips, fish cakes, the vegan burger and ginger bread pudding for dessert (highly recommended this dessert). All arrived timely with no delays. We were seated in the garden house. There is seating in the original pub area and the outside garden as well. All in all, a wonderful experience and one we will return to for sure! Tip: book ahead for busier times as this venue can get very busy.

    Learned about The Perch while reading The Secret Book of Flora Lea and had to visit. What an amazing pub with a huge back garden, perfect for a warm day. Had the Perch Vegan Cheeseburger and my wife had the Spring Vegetable & Wild Garlic Pearl Barley Risotto. Both were very good. Dark Chocolate Tart was exceptional. Guest Ale was a local brew from Oxford that was delicious. Very friendly staff. The Perch exceeded our expectations.

    What a beautiful location the Perch is at. The day we came it was very misty and cold, so you couldn't see over the fields..but made the whole atmosphere even better. It was very busy, and we were lucky to get a table for 2 in the pub. The pub has more of an atmosphere than the restaurant part, but it is still very lovely. I had the Venison Pie. It was amazing! My other half had the burger and wasn't as impressed, especially for cost. For the cost we feel like you should at least get ask how you would like your burger cooked..of which he didn't. Overall we had a lovely meal there, and would definitely recommend.

    Reserved a table for the Sunday roast on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Ordered steamed clams, Sunday roasts (beef + lamb) and finished the meal with a peach crumble. Liked all our orders just find that there's too much potato on the roasts and wish there's more of the roasts itself. Otherwise, the service is good and the restaurant is very lively.

    Nicest pub garden I’ve ever seen. Right on the Thames. Cosy and welcoming inside. A full vegan menu and great range of drinks. Staff are super friendly.
