"Abysmal service from staff who couldn’t care less about their customers. Arriving 1 ½ hours before the restaurant’s closing time , our order was taken and drinks and starters arrived soon after. So far so good. It was a quiet evening mid week so we expected our meal to arrive fairly promptly. But half an hour later there was no sign of our pizzas and we were now the only remaining customers in the restaurant. Patiently we sat and waited …and waited… completely ignored by the staff who were chatting and clearing the tables around us. Finally, I succeeded in catching the eye of a waiter to be assured that our pizzas were “just going into the oven”. When another ten minutes had passed with no sign of our pizzas I went over to the kitchen to discover that our pizzas had most definitely not gone into the oven because the “chefs” hadn’t even got round to preparing them. A whole hour eventually passed between our order being taken and our meal being served. To add insult to injury the pizza base on mine was cool and barely cooked. A one hour wait on a quiet night for much of the time we were the only diners is inexcusable. So too is the “couldn’t care less” attitude of the staff towards their customers. The reputation of Pizza Express has been built on serving food of dependable quality and prompt and attentive service . This branch of the chain is a notable exception by far the worst I’ve encountered when dining at numerous branches of Pizza Express over the last 40 years."

"Overall I had a good time here I came with my partner and we are both vegetarian and had a really solid meal. There are a range of beef and chicken burgers that form the bulk of the menu, and everything is available as a vegetarian or vegan option. It's been a few years since i came here and the menu is definitely a log more condensed compared to ~5 years ago but there are still a lot of great options. Side orders include a few different choices of dirty fries as well as plain fries. You can also get fried pickles and coleslaw. The fries were fine but not as good as I'd expect from somewhere where the main element is burger and fries. A real strength is the drinks on offer. Loads of locals beers, ciders, low and no alcohol drinks, and soft drinks. Service was fine we had a bit of a weird corner out of the way and our server didn't seem very familiar with the menu. It was difficult to get attention (it was reasonably quiet) and it took a while to get the bill. That said, everything was accurate and we got our food quickly. The location is fantastic, it's really nice to be river side on a sunny day. It was a bit of a shame to not be on the lower section of the boat which looks directly out onto the river I believe this is closed when it is quieter but it's certainly the nicer part of the restaurant. Recommend and it's a good place just not of the same quality from a few years ago."
