The Folly
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"Great river views, informal atmosphere and sharp cooking."
Overview
This is a relaxed, casual place – the riverside location by Folly Bridge is the big attraction. The decked terrace is perfect for prime warm weather dining with seats under an awning. The interior is brightly and simply decorated, with a huge skylight to the rear. There are picture windows all along with river views, and staff are young and friendly.
