SquareMeal Review of Beetle & Wedge

The bucolic setting with gardens running down to the River Thames inspired Jerome K Jerome to write ‘Three Men in a Boat’ when he lived here. The beautifully relaxed & beamed Boathouse Restaurant focuses on a wide-ranging menu of modern brasserie dishes with char-grilling to the fore – squid & bacon with chilli jam for example, or rump steak with creamy mushroom sauce. Elsewhere, there’s Mediterranean fish soup with all the trimmings, curried whitebait with coriander mayonnaise, & for mains, mint marinated lamb cutlets or Parma ham-wrapped pork fillet with morel cream sauce. Great ambience & summer alfresco too, with a terrace just a few feet from the river.

Good to know

Friendly and comfortable Thamesside pub and restaurant

A simple delight. Well thought out simple menu. Super friendly service. Found a space for us even though they were super busy. Stunning location on the Thames. For an unpretentious and relaxing experience it's a Yes from me!!

RIP off drinks

On the 30th September 2020, there were 5 of us who went to Beetle and Wedge Moulsford on Thames for lunch.

Three of us including me ordered a drink called St Clement (a mix of orange juice and bitter lemon) and the other two ordered just mango juice.

The St. Clement drink came in a slim glass, we looked at each other thinking a small drink. Normally this drink comes in a larger glass, but we didn’t think much of it until we received the bill. 

To our surprise the St Clement drink was charged as two drinks. The orange juice at a price of £2.85, the bitter lemon at a price of £2.20. Total £ 5.05 for a small soft drink, I normally have this St Clement drink in pubs/restaurants and it normally cost about £2-£3. Whereas the mango juice at a price of £2.85 in a larger glass is reasonable. 

 

I questioned this with the waiter, the excuse was they don’t have orange juice in a carton, so they opened bottles instead. We paid the bill instead and afterwards we all said we should had refused to pay £5.05 for such a small drink.

We felt we had been ripped off and felt disgusted that they are charging people such a high price for a soft drink, this is more expensive than their a glass of wine costing £4.90.   

I wouldn’t recommend anyone to visit this place. Overall we felt this place is only thinking of just taking money in.

Beautiful views over the river, great set menu deals. Unpretentious but consistently good quality food, relaxed yet special.
