new riverside pub at Maidenhead

[thamesS23]

Not been there yet, but looks like the new pub & restaurant is open near Boulters.

Hall & Woodhouse Pub & Restaurant, Taplow | Riverside Pub in Taplow

Looks like they have lots of mooring spaces, anyone been yet?

For the hard of understanding and for somebody who values somewhere to moor and eat without a 5k hike where is this ?.
With reference to a lock would be useful.
The icing on the cake would the possibility of reserving a mooring when booking a meal.

'Find Us' on their website will tell you.

Surrounded by £2m houses, i bet it wont be cheap

The Broom brigade from Windsor will love it.

Looks like it is just along from the bridge and the Roux restaurant.

I think I will stick with Wetherspoons or my own drinks cabinet!

Behind the islands above the bridge. Be careful about depth around there.

Its the old gas works and where Maidenhead Steam used to be based.

It can be shallow between the islands where the smaller eyot is, obviously.

Entering from downstream the channel is very narrow and no doubt the natives will be displeased by gin palaces and so will the scout base and the kids in canoes.

Could be problematic plus if Ralph has any tackle up at Boulters there is significant flow around those islands.

Odd coincidence I just went over the Brunel sounding arch on a GWR train 30 seconds ago...

The depth is ok, we reguarly when going upstream go that way from the bridge to Boulters just for a change, 1m draft and no issues, it is shallow in the gaps between the islands though. We have also moored where the pub is and walked elsewhere to eat when it was the showroom for the development.
I think the problem will be it will be too popular with boaters and the moorings will be constantly full if they let you stop there at all, can't see those moorings remaining empty for long too much potential money to be made.

Thanks for update ..Do recall those houses being built and appreciate where it is.
Dead handy for B1 and other Broom owners ?

looking at the menu, it doesn't seem overly priced, seems in line with a decent pub prices.

Looks like the current standard Hall & Woodhouse menu, which we may just be partaking of in Wimborne today, just a 10 minute walk from home

I moor at Windsor Marina and currently own a Broom. Perhaps you could explain what we've done to deserve your disapprobation?

The new floating berth does not belong to the restaurant.

 

[Outinthedinghy]

I think those moorings are going to be let on yearly contracts.
There were moorings there before but they were emptied a few yars ago. The pontoons were eventually removed quite recently.
Apparently the site (lease?) was sold for £600k recently and moorings will again be let there.

It looks like that is the old Gas Works wharf.

Correct.
A huge length of spanking new floating berth but, as I said, not owned by the new restaurant.

Haven't been that side of the islands for some years now, so decided to do so on our way up river today. Can confirm no issues with depth (I saw approx 1.5m minimum depth). The new pub / restaurant looked nice and was certainly busy. May well give it a try, if the moorings allow restaurant users to stay overnight.
