The Nag'S Head On The Thames

Went to the Nag’s Head for lunch yesterday, and left very impressed. The food and service were both excellent, and the location spectacular. 10/10.

The best meal we have had in Great Britain ,the chef would be very welcome in South Australia �

My colleagues and I from Taylor Newspapers Ltd had our works Christmas Party last night and we all agreed it was the best yet, the food was amazing the service was attentive and the live music was great, the whole evening ran like a well oiled machine and I’m sure we will return for some more exceptional food.

Lovely food and beautiful place, can’t wait to go back �

Great pub with fantastic garden next to the river. Perfect on a summers day.

Great place for food and drink next to the river and the staff where are great too.

A great place to sit & socialise on a summers day/evening

The location is what makes this pub good especially on the nice day we arrived quite late in afternoon and only had a drink but we found the staff friendly and still willing to put the effort in. So well done

Great atmosphere out on the riverside patio. Efficient service and good food, although my chicken was a little dry.

Comfortable place. Not very busy on our visit so quick service understandable. Friendly staff and a decent range of ales on offer. Good location but beware as there is no car park. This should not affect your decision to visit.

You need to find a more efficient way of serving people at both bars,the endless waiting is not good.

We all avoided the pub today because of the waiting to be served.

You have the best garden in Abingdon and you don't seem to care about the people who are making very rich indeed,so pull your finger out.

Nuff said thank you.

Waited ages to get a drink yesterday. Again! The queues for upstairs & downstairs were ridiculous. Why can’t you just employ more bar staff? The pub is in a great location - but you really let yourself down with the service. Quite a few people saw the length of the queue, turned around and left!

Overall - location 10/10 - food 6/10 - service non existent.

We visited yesterday (07/05) - location is second to none, we had the end table right on the river, however service and timings were questionable. My partner waited 30 minutes in line for a drink, ordered our food, he’s came (the wings were likewarm) and he finished it and he went to get us another drink before mine was served! By the time he came back I nearly finsished my meal (Cajun chicken burger) I asked for sauces and was told they were by the bar, no one offered to grab them or anything. It was a bank holiday and you were severely understaffed. Surely you checked the weather and saw what a beautiful day it was going to be to plan staff rota’s accordingly?

I came in today with a friend and my 5 month old puppy, who was good as gold and sat under the table. We enjoyed our food and the service was good.

However, I was quite disappointed at the end when we went to the bar to pay when another dog at the bar which was not on it’s lead tried to attack my puppy. Obviously I understand that this is not the pubs fault. However, I noticed the sign on the door as I came in saying “dogs on leads welcome” and I feel that this should have been enforced by the staff.

Have frequented this pub for several years and have always loved the opportunity to enjoy the Thames, the food and the wine!!

Yesterday's visit was really disappointing. I went with a friend and 2 dogs for a celebratory lunch with prosecco!

First we were told we couldn't eat where we had sat, despite the tables being laid up for lunch!

The 'manager' was really blunt with me, had no sense of humour and treated me like I was a nuisance.

Our order was taken by a young boy, I ordered smoked chicken with bacon and avocado. My friend had crayfish and prawns. When the food arrived, there was no avocado so I asked the waiter if he could get me some. He came back with a tiny bit of processed guacamole In a pot. I queried this but he insisted that was how it was served and referred to it as mashed avocado, which it clearly wasn't. I didn't eat it. It wasn't what the menu promised me.

I ordered further prosecco which took a long time to arrive.

The entire visit was disappointing, at no point did I feel that my custom was appreciated or valued.

Will explore other options in future before heading straight there.

Service is becoming too slow lately. It's a shame because the garden and beer selection are great

Me and my partner booked a table for 6 to sit outside. This was Sunday 8th july. On arriving at the outside restaurant the girl stood at the station was talking to her work college and basicly ignored us, until I said I have a table booked at 6. With that she said nothing look at her screen and said this way. Once sat down no one came and asked if we wanted drinks. We sat for 20 mins until another girl asked if we wanted to order. On that I said we would like some drinks first please. She went and got the wine list and stood there over us until we ordered the wine. It was a hot day no tap water was offered at all. So far this service is very poor. So food ordered wine ordered. Food then comes out before wine... this happened last time as well.. Not good enough. The menu was 5 mains all very heavy food, also one was not available so only 4. Come on get with it the weather is hot offer not so heavy food, lighter options!!!! I had fish and chips, fish very greasy and the chopped peas were hotter than the sun... So microwaved to an inch of their lives. My partner did not like here burger at all, the bun did not appear to that fresh and just all round bad.. I will come to the Nags Head for drinks but never again for food.. and i will put up with the shocking service... for now.. must try alot harder.. shocking!!!

Pub lovely to sit in the garden enjoy the sunshine BUT my Cajun chicken burger was raw in the middle! Made me feel sick!! Definitely won’t be eating there again!

Decided on a spur of the moment decision to try this pub for a drink and a meal. I've never been so disappointed as I was today! We tried to sit in the garden only to be told it was closed until 6pm. The menu was very restrictive and very expensive! I certainly wouldn't recommend going here.
