We returned to The Boat Inn for the Sunday lunch (see my previous review). The Beef Wellington and Chateaubriand were both excellent and I would definitely recommend them. The wine list has some good choices and the wine is reasonably priced. The service is attentive and friendly.
It was the best Sunday lunch I’ve had for a long time. This restaurant is going places, and it is definitely worth a visit!

With the beef we chose a Clos Ventas, Terrasses du Larzac, 2015 from France. This Languedoc-Roussillion red wine scores 3.9 / 5 on Vivino. It is made from Grenache, Mourvedre, and Shiraz/Syrah grapes. It has cassis, blackberry and ripe raspberries notes and was a perfect accompaniment to the beef:
