The Boaters Inn

A riverside pub with excellent Thames views and a solid brunch offering, perfect for sunny weekend mornings.

Last checked: March 2026

Why we love it

One of the best riverside brunch options in Kingston with outdoor seating directly overlooking the Thames.

The Boaters Inn sits right on the Thames near Canbury Gardens, making it one of the most scenic brunch spots in Kingston. While technically more of a pub than a dedicated brunch café, the weekend brunch menu is solid and the location is hard to beat. On a sunny morning, the outdoor terrace fills up quickly. Best approached as a "brunch with a view" option rather than a food-first destination. The full English is reliable, and the eggs Benedict is a safe choice. Brunch cocktails are available if you're making a morning of it.
