What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
East Restaurant offers a unique dining experience on a barge with a diverse range of East Asian cuisines. Many praise the friendly service and romantic riverside ambiance with views of swans. However, some reviewers found the food to be less authentic and not reflective of its price point, with one noting a disappointment in taste and portion size for takeaway orders.
"We have never been before and now we don't know why! We went for dinner on a Monday night, so it was nice and quiet. There is a few parking spaces (free) at an entrance just off the bridge. The staff was lovely and very friendly. We had 2 curries, rice and rotis. The food was all very delicious. We also had the deep friend ice cream and cheese cake for dessert and it can definitely be recommended. The view from the boat with the swans are lovely and quite romantic. We will be back for sure!"

"We came last night as a group of 4pm. It was quite busy, but the service did not disappoint. The staff were very friendly and constantly asking if we needed any more drinks/if everything was okay with our food.
I had the tempura prawns as a starter, which had lots of flavour. The batter wasn’t greasy which was great. We then shared the quarter duck between the 4 of us, which was plenty. I had the crispy chilli beef, it wasn’t too crispy and overdone, it tasted fresh as sometimes this isn’t the case when you get it from a takeaway.
The meal (and drinks as we had 3 rounds of alcoholic drinks each) cost us £215, which for 3 courses and the drinks in a nice restaurant is very reasonable! I’ve been to many upper end chain restaurants and paid more and both the service and food haven’t been as nice! Will be coming back for sure, it’s all about supporting local business in this climate so I would recommend highly."
