London's Best Riverside Pub

If you are looking for your perfect riverside spot, you have just found it! With seasonal food and drink, a phenomenal riverside atmosphere and plenty on, let our historic Barnes pub be your new favourite go-to.

Built in 1662 and given a fresh face in 1899, we are a cornerstone of local history, where you can catch those famous riverside sunsets that make our pub so special.

Perched on the banks of the Thames, we’re all about warm welcomes, great service, and good old-fashioned attention to detail. We serve up hearty, seasonal British food (the kind that makes you pause after the first bite), whether you need a place to unwind after a busy day or a quick bite after a stroll along the river.

Stuart and the team can’t wait to welcome you.

Where Every Plate Tastes As Good As The View Looks

Winter is not a season, it’s a celebration!

Stuart and his talented Chef team are proud to support British farmers and producers, weaving their fresh, locally-sourced produce into each of his flavourful, one-more-bite-worthy dishes. Sustainability is at the heart of our menu, with seasonal ingredients picked at the peak of their freshness taking centre stage. You can be sure to enjoy a true taste of the season with every bite, from field to fork.

Sunday Roasts By The Thames

Sundays with us are a true Barnes tradition. Gather your loved ones for a roast that celebrates everything we do best: perfectly cooked meats, golden roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, rich gravies, and all the trimmings. Pair your meal with a glass of fine wine or a deliciously crafted cocktail, and soak in the riverside views as the afternoon drifts by. From crisp autumn days on the terrace to fire-side seats in the pub, there’s no better place to savour the week’s most comforting ritual.

Drink To The Season

As the winter draw in, our bar becomes the heart of Barnes. Explore our thoughtfully curated list of cocktails, warming spirits, and exceptional wines chosen to complement the season. From a smooth single malt enjoyed by the fire to a festive cocktail shared with friends, our winter drinks menu is designed to bring a touch of luxury to your visit, and give you something to toast to!

Stay The Night Nearby

Celebrating a birthday, hosting a festive gathering, or simply planning a special meal with friends? With so much to enjoy, why cut the evening short? While we don’t offer bedrooms ourselves, a number of welcoming pubs with rooms are just a short taxi ride away. That means you can feast, party, and indulge to your heart’s content before retreating somewhere cosy for the night, and perhaps joining us again in the morning for a walk and lunch along the river.

Christmas in Barnes

Christmas with us is twinkling lights, gold dusted baubles and the smell of mulled-wine the moment you enter the pub. A cosy fire-place atmosphere and the chatter of the locals whilst you tuck in to your decadent Christmas feast which you have been looking forward to all year. From starters to puddings, bottle-popping festive drinks and the big day itself, we have been around long enough to throw one great Christmas bash!

Whatever the occasion, we have a menu and space to make your Christmas celebration extra special.

Host Your Riverside Party With Us

Planning something spectacular and need a fun, that’ll have everyone talking? Say hello to our gorgeous riverside spaces, with space for smaller or larger parties, and semi-private or private. With panoramic, postcard-worthy views over the beautiful Barnes Riviera and our indulgent, celebration-ready menus, we’re the ultimate spot for a celebration that’s all about good times and great company.

Help Us Fundraise This Aututmn

This September and October we’re proud to be supporting Dogs for Good, a charity that transforms lives by training assistance dogs for people living with disabilities, autism and other challenges. At the heart of Barnes, our pub is all about community, and over the coming weeks we’ll be bringing people together with events, merch and bar specials to raise money for this incredible cause.

Whether you join us for a drink, take part in a raffle or come along to one of our events, your support will make a real difference. Take a look at our What’s On page to see what’s happening, or, if you can’t make it down, you can still donate below to help Dogs for Good continue their life-changing work.

Dog Friendly Pub

We adore your four-legged companions just as much as you do, making us the ultimate cosy, tail-wagging pit stop (perfect for paws and people alike) after a crisp riverside walk along the Thames. With complimentary treats, belly-rub opportunities, and water bowls, we’ve got everything your furry friend could dream of.

What's On in Barnes

Plenty, including delicious food specials, community events, boat races, charity fundraisers and festive events galore! Make sure you keep an eye on our What’s On page so you don’t miss out on anything along the river.

Excellent dining at a riverside pub with spectacular views. The food here is several steps above standard pub fare. We had chicken croquettes with anchovies- a modern twist on a chicken Caesar classic. Our mains were great too. The service & wine selection is excellent.
