Tanners — Restaurant in England

We had drinks, lunch and dinner for 2-3 days and loved the food, the bar, and eating on the deck overlooking the river. The scenery is terrific and the remodeled decor and deck were very comfortable.

It's better to say we can't fit you in than serve a...

We got a place on the deck overlooking the river, which was nice, but it stopped there unfortunately. This was a Tuesday evening, and we ordered pie and lasagne with a side of ‘home made’ coleslaw. The pie was overcooked and dry, the accompanying veg looked very sad. The lasagne was nice but the pasta tasted a bit undercooked. The coleslaw came late and just tasted like something I might have got from Morrisons. Left most of our food, maybe it was an off night, but...
