Lovely riverside spot!

We enjoyed a hearty meal at The Punter. Portion sizes were excellent and flavours were interesting. We particularly enjoyed the butternut squash, sweet potato and rosemary soup & cashew coriander and lime hummus as our starters. For our mains we had the grilled tofu dish in a tangy satay sauce and refried beans main. The satay sauce was however slightly too spicy for me (note I have a low spice tolerance though). For dessert we had the chocolate mousse tart and it was divine! Overall enjoyed the meal but beware portions are large - make sure you visit on an empty stomach.

Pros: Great portions , Friendly staff

Fabulous

My family and I had lunch at The Punter and could not fault the experience at all. Service was fantastic and the food was brilliant too. Vegan pub grub with a twist. The area is also wonderful and we had a lovely afternoon. We would all highly recommend !

One to visit again and again

Really lovely gastro pub serving only top notch veggie and vegan food.

Pros: Vegan OPTIONS!! With not a meat dish in sight, The decor is lovely and furniture is spaced out, Location is quiet yet central

Cons: Short menu may put some people off

Great find!

We booked (thankfully!) for an evening meal, and although it was busy and the staff were seemingly disorganised to begin with, the service improved and they totally redeemed themselves! The food came quickly, was freshly made and extremely good! Boringly we ordered one of each of the 2 burger options and they were incredibly tasty, with some interesting toppings! Pudding was a vegan creme caramel with biscotti. Lovely!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Friendly service, Lovely location by the river

Cons: Some seating outside - no cover if it rains!
