Have been before for the a la carte and was impressed but the Sunday lunch was epic. Great service too. Pistachio crumbed cauliflower cheese was unbelievably good.

My first visit to Bosun and I can’t recommend enough. The service, food and atmosphere were perfect. We visited on Sunday we had 3 courses, wine and cocktails.

First visit today but definitely won’t be our last. Pleasant, polite and welcoming staff. Lovely position on the river and the lunch we had was amazing! Thank you, keep up the great work.

Utterly utterly amazing!! On arrival we were greeted by friendly and professional staff and shown to our table. The decor is very nicely laid out coupled with the lovely views of the river. The menu has a good choice and mentions local suppliers. I went for the 8oz steak, and it was full of flavour, and my wife had the cheese burger, which she said was "out of this world." Great food, wonderful staff, and a stunning restaurant. Can't wait to try the Sunday roast soon. Keep up the great work

We have been coming to Bosuns since it opened and enjoyed a family birthday meal here yesterday. It continues to impress and the service on this busy Thursday steak night was absolutely outstanding. Jess never stopped smiling and was exceptionally polite and Alex was just as good, funny and charming. Exemplary service from these two which really matched the quality of the food. We all enjoyed the steak, which was cooked perfectly as ordered. Absolutely fantastic restaurant and well deserving of its reputation and very good value on a Thursday steak night.

A really lovely time having afternoon tea here! The restaurant had a relaxing ambience and the staff were friendly! The food came pretty quickly and we’re all freshly made! I love the individuality of each item and the way it was presented! I love the warm sausage roll too! We are definitely coming back again to try the menu!
