Atmosphere and Setting

• "We sat outside on the heated patio soaking in the busy riverside views."
• "As someone who's always drawn to waterside dining, 'The Oyster Catcher' stole my heart with its stunning views of the River Thames."

Cons:

• "Very disappointed for the service (they served the wrong meal with very mean attitude)."

Service

Pros:

• "They are super chill and friendly and service is great."
• "We recently celebrated our wedding at The Oystercatcher and had a wonderful day. Laura and the team went above and beyond to help bring our vision to life."

• "The staff make this place - especially Marika who was professional, helpful, happy and clearly enjoying doing a great job."
• "We had a family birthday there and the venue and staff were lovely but the food and service was very disappointing."

Cons:

• "However, my recent visit on the 22nd of October, 2023, left much to be desired."
• "It took fifteen minutes for us to be seated and had to ask for our table to be cleaned and some menus."
• "Another experience of the post covid culture. Do NOT presume everyone has a payment card."
• "Very disappointed for the service (they served the wrong meal with very mean attitude)."
• "No staff, waited 1 HR just for our drinks."
• "Very new and there are teething problems to sort out. The air conditioning doesn’t seem to work and the upper floor smells stale and of kitchen odors."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The drinks are good and the food is decent."
• "The cheeseburger was very tasty and the Sunday roast was delicious and a generous serving."
• "Sunday roast. Tried the sirloin of Cumbrian beef roast with a large glass of Malbec as well as the white chicken & pork roast."
• "The food hearty and enjoyable, good for a quick snack break too if on a walk along the Thames path walkway."
• "The food presentation was great but it was salty and mediocre, definitely not worth the price."

Cons:

• "Only thing is burger was a bit dry and the food could be better overall."
• "As someone who has worked in hospitality for years, this was ridiculous, no one cared we were there."
• "The food was lovely with simple but flavourful options with a British Italian theme of menu."
• "The oysters were lovely, the steak was nice."
• "I wish I could give them no stars - Absolute joke! Made a reservation nearly 4 weeks in advance, received no response & 2 days before the reservation they get in contact to say they have no availability."
