| Second stop in Berkshire today after a visit to the Barleycorn in Cippenham was this very unusual pub on the banks of the Thames. Getting here can be tricky. I approached from Bourne End, crossed the river using the railway bridge and wandered up the muddy towpath. I wasn't expecting to find it open, especially as TripAdvisor records it as closed. But notices on the railway bridge displayed its winter hours (3 hours on a Friday) and 6½ hours on a Saturday and on a Sunday. The building seemed like a large shack from the inside. There are flags on the ceiling. There are 2 separate rooms, with the bar in the front one. It smelt overwhelmingly of wet dogs and whilst there were around 20 or so customers, I seemed to be the only one not being accompanied by a canine. There were a number of kids too. Given its position, most of the clientele were in Wellington boots. The 3 real ales were all from Rebellion. They were Grumpy Cow, Mutiny At The Bounty & Winter Roy. They also had Old Rosie cider. Certainly one of the harder to get to pubs I have visited across the country. But nevertheless, I think it was worth the effort. blue_scrumpy - 8 Dec 2019 21:27 |
| looked more like a tea room from the outside and a den on the inside. friendly and nice enough place though and the Grumpy Cow was a decent enough pint. Snarling_Mallard - 13 Sep 2017 18:06 |
| A fantastic location right next to the river. Very idiosyncratic place. Was here on a lovely day so sat outside in spacious garden. Rebellion Mutiny was excellent. However - When asking for 2 Mutinys and a Grumpy Cow, I was served 3 Cows. Got into a debate with the barman who then poured me the correct beers. However by this time another barman had appeared and put his oar in and virtually accused me of not paying for a beer. All sorted out eventually but so unneccessary. Not the first staff comment on here I see. Food unspectacular - Double dolly Burger -£6.95 - was cheap and when it turned up I found out why. Food not wonderfully hot, burgers tasted like they were out of a frozen caterers pack, chips could well have been oven chips, salad perfunctory. Not good. The Bounty is a nice place to drink but customer service and food could be so much better. ramblethenlunch - 12 Jul 2013 12:34 |
| Looking forward to a Sunday evening drink at The Bounty after a long and very pleasant riverside walk. Have enjoyed many a great lunchtime or evening of merriment since the days before the footbridage when Dave collected us in his boat, ringing the bell on the tree to alert Custmers waiting for the ferryman. The bar was fairly busy and calming down after an exceptional 2nd of October 'Indian summer' day. The bar youth thrust a sprite in my Wife's hand without glass, any ice? a shrugging no. If he has removed the gobstopper from his gob in any kind of greeting it might have been worth explaning but we walked out. I feel really really Sorry Dave - for you! Stewart22 - 2 Oct 2011 21:19 |
