The Phoenix Sunbury-on-Thames

One of my favorite places to visit for a drink. Contains an outdoors section right next to Thames, with heaters. Food is nice and beers are wonderful. Just an amazing place.

We fancied tapas and our usual venue was booked solid at lunch time.

A quick Google search for tapas found the Phoenix, plus it was by the river.

They don't take bookings but upon arrival we found several suitable tables outside.

The tapas menu was limited but what we ordered was very tasty, they had one of my favourite tapas; shallow fried chorizo in olive oil.

If eating outside, you order and pay for food and drink at the outside bar.

It's nice, but not amazing. The food is okay but nothing to write home about, the drinks are drinks, the atmosphere is nice, the garden is very nice.

I recommend going for a pint if you're in the area and I enjoyed myself there. Nice and cozy pub

Last minute Sunday roast. Quick, friendly service, food good, plenty off it, only slight issue was my lamb whilst cooked perfectly, was a bit fatty. To be fair, virtually all Sunday roasts I have had have been similar with lamb. My partners chicken was perfect.
Nice place inside, bit quirky, lots of nooks and crannies.
Recommended.

I love this place.
Specially on sunny days.
Great service and Management.
Nice dishes too.
Amazing beer garden at the back, right by the river. Wonderful!!

Great little pub, on the river, great view. Snacks were very good. Perhaps they could clean up the outside area more often. Dirty tables and floor puts me off. Staff were very friendly. Dogs allowed

We had the Sunday Roast, service was good. Meat was nice and fresh. The stuffing was hard and difficult to eat. Veg was nicely cooked and not well done. Will definitely eat here again.

I’ve given this pub 5-Stars for a number of reasons. Firstly, it’s a proper old-Skool pub which is refreshing amongst all the fake chain pubs.
Secondly it’s a great location, large beer garden that’s a cracking spot on the river, with benches right down to the water.
Thirdly, good choice of drinks always served quickly which is becoming a rarity with hospitality staff in such short supply since Covid.
And last but not least, the food is excellent too. We took my little boy for lunch last weekend, his portion of nuggets, chips and peas was spot on. We had tapas which was lovely, we’ll definitely be frequenting more often.
