The Crabtree is a historic riverside pub on Rainville Road, set on a quiet stretch of the Thames between Hammersmith and Putney bridges. Its Thames Dining Room, terraces and large garden make the river view part of the experience, while the traditional interior offers a comfortable place to eat in cooler weather. Craven Cottage is a short walk away, making the pub a popular meeting point before and after football as well as a destination in its own right.
The kitchen follows the seasons through familiar British pub dishes and changing specials suited to lunch or dinner. Small plates and sharers can open a relaxed meal, while burgers, fish, meat and vegetable mains provide more substantial choices. Classic flavours are presented without losing the informal character of a neighbourhood pub, and a dedicated children’s selection makes the dining room practical for family visits.
Sunday is centred on roast dinners served with the traditional accompaniments, with options for children, vegetarians and vegan diners. The long service window suits both an early family lunch and a slower afternoon beside the river. During the warmer months, the Crabshack barbecue adds food cooked outdoors, bringing grilled flavours and a more casual garden experience to sunny days.
The bar carries cask and craft beer, cider, wine, spirits, cocktails and alcohol free choices. Outdoor tables are especially popular when the weather is fine, while live sport, a weekly quiz and seasonal events give regular visitors additional reasons to return. This combination of river views, pub cooking and generous outdoor space gives The Crabtree a distinctive place in Hammersmith’s dining scene.
