An attractive pub converted from a warehouse on the banks of the Thames; the name was the result of a competition organised by the Oxford Mail and associates the inn with the finishing post for the Eights bumping races held on the river. The only city pub next to the river which may account for the high prices. There is a large paved area with awnings and marquees and a crane from its days as a wharf, and Folly Bridge is adjacent. Punts and boats can be hired from Salter’s Steamers opposite and short cruises leave from their pier. Internally the pub is relatively small, arranged over two levels. Extensively refurbished April 2024. Opens 7am for breakfast, (8 at week-ends).
