  “Back in the day, some genius knocked the pub around a bit and renamed it The Mill House; directions to the pub pointed you towards Nags Head island...and the only reason that anyone knew where Nags Head island was...oh it's just too stupid to compute. This is very much the definitive version of The Nags Head - truly magnificent. Now, about The Upper Reaches..? I realise how lame it is going around taking pictures of your meals but it's actually far more shameful when you do it to taunt your children. Well anyway, here you are my lovelies - the short beef rib - enjoy your toast!”

  “Expensive drinks - £19.75 for a double g&t and a lager shandy...and this was the lager shandy! At least half of it was bubbles...I had to get a straw to try and remove them. People might ask why I didn't say anything...l I'd already paid and on leaving the drink at the bar with a here's your shandy...the server just walked off into the back. We were going to order food, but decided if this was the quality of the drinks, we'd be better going elsewhere. Nice location...but can't say much else positive about it. As a boater I always try and be positive about riverside pub's - but not being able to serve something as simple as a lager shandy, come on! Update: You can see from the owner response that they took this seriously! Nice apology..wait, sorry there wasn't one 😔”

  “We had such a fantastic time visiting The Bridge. Everything about our meal was impressive from start to finish. The food was plated beautifully and tasted even better. I especially loved the fresh, vibrant beetroot base on the flatbread, which paired perfectly with the grilled skewers and red onion rings. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. It is the perfect spot for a casual afternoon drink and a delicious bite to eat. We will definitely be back soon.”

  “More than just a pub, a true gem on the Thames. ​We recently moved away from Abingdon, and the Nags Head is the place we will miss the most. For over a year, this was our go-to for Sunday dinners and special occasions, including a wonderful Christmas Eve. ​The food is consistently incredible, but what truly sets this place apart is the staff. We have a mute autistic son who is very particular about his food, and the team here was always so accommodating and kind, making sure he had exactly what he needed without any fuss. It made our family outings stress-free and enjoyable. ​Between the top-tier service, the delicious meals, and the stunning location right on the River Thames, it’s easily the best spot in town. Beautiful inside and out. Please, if you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and visit. We’re going to miss you guys! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

  “On friends' recommendation I biked from Oxford to have Sunday lunch here. The place is lovely with tons of seating outside, beautiful view, and very cozy inside. I had the roast beef, which was very good, especially the Yorkshire pudding. I had never had one this big and crispy. Pecan pie for dessert with a strong espresso. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It was a great experience.”

  “We’ve visited the Nags Head many times because we’re boaters and often stop in Abingdon and choose the nags head because of its beautiful riverside location. We often eat and have never been particularly impressed by the food. However we ate yesterday the mushroom risotto and the prawn and crab linguine and it was so delicious by far the best meal we’ve had at the Nags Head. I don’t know if it’s a different chef but the food was so delicious! We can’t wait to visit again .”

  “Amazing Place situated right on Thames river serves delicious food and great drinks. They have lovely seating area to relax and enjoy. They got a large variety of drinks including multiple beers on Tap. I have tried 5-6 of their beers and all were great. Food was amazing too. Will definitely visit again.”

  “Some friends and I visited whilst staying in Abingdon. The website says they stop serving food at 6 on Sundays and I really wanted the vegan roast that they offer so I went fo dinner earlier than I normally would. However, it seems they were serving food much later than 6 so we didn't need to rush. The beetroot wellington had a really nice flavour and was packed full of grated beetroot. The sides were all nicely cooked and had good portion sizes. My friend had the vegan mushroom pie and gave it a glowing review. He said it's one of the best vegan pies he has had in a long time. He was also happy with the portion size. The beer garden is huge and overlooks the Thames so there were plenty of tables with a nice view. It was very busy on the Sunday before a bank holiday so service was a little bit slow but wait times were reasonable and staff were still very cheerful.”

  “Fantastic place! Incredible food, views and service! We arrived 1 hour early, which was too soon for our table but we’re kindly seated by the bar and didn’t have to wait very long. We had a table by the waterfront with a beautiful view. The cauliflower starter was incredible! We would return again even just for that. The staff and vibe was very welcoming, very dog friendly, and all of the different seating zones were very inviting. Handy place to moor up if you have a boat otherwise parking is across the bridge but maybe tree the “farm” car park as the other one is almost exclusively for motorhomes.”
