The Beetle & Wedge Boathouse***

Many year ago, I stayed at the Beetle & Wedge Boathouse, a charming riverside restaurant situated in Moulsford on Thames, Oxfordshire, England. Nestled on the banks of the River Thames, it offers a picturesque and tranquil setting, ideal for those seeking a peaceful escape with excellent food and drink. Here’s a detailed description:

Mid-20th century the role of boathouses declined due to changes in transportation and boating practices, the site was repurposed. It became a restaurant, leveraging its prime riverside location to attract visitors.

Over the year, multiple renovations took place. Today it offers warm interiors, exposed wooden beams, and a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe, it’s a welcoming spot for both casual lunches and special occasions.

The Beetle & Wedge is known for its focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The menu often features classic British and European dishes with seasonal influences, including fresh fish, meats, and vegetarian options. The terrace by the water offers an unforgettable al fresco dining experience, allowing guests to enjoy their meals while taking in the stunning views and ambiance.

The location is popular among boaters, with mooring facilities available for those arriving by river. The area is perfect for riverside strolls, with nearby footpaths offering scenic views and access to other picturesque locations along the Thames. Whether for a romantic dinner, a family gathering, or a peaceful drink by the water, the Beetle & Wedge Boathouse stands out as a delightful riverside destination.
