I have an annual mooring there....very well equipped....great stafff and extremely helpful.....loads of space....reasonable bar on site but needs a taxi if you plan to go elsewhere

Depending on when you are there I would be more than happy to share a glass or two (I"m in Madrid at the start of the week)

Cheers
Simon

Dave, I cannot comment on the marina, but did you get your immersion heater sorted out? For reasons various, I havent been out on the river too much this year and not had a chance to wave on my way past. Everyone OK on the 'Moon'?

Taxi thing very true regarding the 2 pubs by the sonning roundabout [can`t remember names] the stroll there was fine but the walk back after a few sherberts was a right treck .

Endorse all above comments. With all the facilities available for a tenner better value than most bankside moorings.

The Bull at Sonning is an excellent pub, great food and always very busy. http://www.fullershotels.com/rte.asp?id=74

There is also a rather good Indian restaurant further into Sonning.

It's a shorter walk from the Uri Geller moorings, downstream of Sonning Bridge. Don't forget to make a donation at his postbox, or you might wake up to find all cutlery on board has been bent!

The Ivy.......30 seconds walk from the Bull (our local).

If you eat at the Bull...go for the specials board rather than the rather large standard menu: too much of it seems pre-cooked/bought in of late.

Nice place....well kept Fullers....good wine list.
