    Tucked away where you would be unlikely to stumble upon it if you didn't know it was there, it has an excellent cafe, a great exhibition space, and a small theatre (didn't see this last area). Lovely atmosphere. Dog friendly cafe.

    Really enjoyed my visit to the free Art exhibition featuring local artist, David Gamble. His paintings are vibrant and refreshing! Lovely pieces to captivate and inspire.

    Superb. I arrived to hear that M&S rump steak was on the menu for steak baguettes. I ordered one and it was the best and most tender that I have tasted and cheap too. Cheaper than anywhere else, great quality, lovely ladies working there and a great charity cause too. I recommend people must pop in and try for themselves even if just for a coffee

    Always enjoy our visits, whether to see the latest art exhibition, or just to enjoy the great food in the cafe. Fabulous Walton Folk Festival on 1st May: a whole afternoon of outstanding musicians and artists, headlined in the evening by Wildwood Kin. Amazing effort by the volunteer organisers, especially in the rain and the cold!

    This was my first trip here. Saw a young ventriloquist/comedian who was very good. Great intimate venue with lots going on. You can even drop in during the day for a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

    A beautiful venue for music art or anything else. Lovely cafe as well.

    Excellent cafe with large sunny/partly tented outdoor terrace. Light lunches all home cooked. Wonderful cakes. Great value for money....pity isn't open at weekend ...only M-F unless performance on Very close to river, plenty of parking Upstairs is art gallery ..well worth a visit..exhibitions change frequently. All sorts of performances to please everyone. Great children's shows and regular comedy evenings. My only criticism is that tickets can be a bit expensive for a community playhouse...usually Β£15 upwards ! Monthly daytime film sceenings and frequent concerts, recitals and plays. Next to Sullivan's park with children's playground and direct access to riverbank. Well worth a visit,

    I attended a talk called Grandmother's cook book, which was fascinating. The venue is quaint and comfortable with a coffee shop /bar. Very pleasant evening.

    Unusual venue, an old 18th century barn immaculately restored and refurbished for a performance space. Wide variety of music, film and theatre. We heard Wolf, Shostakovich and Beethoven string quartets.

    We went "Beer & jazz"Sunday lunchtime. Really enjoyable. Went to the bar at the break. Might be a good idea to have a drinks menu,and a notice stating "payment by card only " Lovely venue by the river.

    Terrific venue to watch a play. Ample leg room, and good elevation between the rows-so the viewing is unimpeded. Yet allows one to feel immersed in the action.

    The only time I have been served pre-filled scones which could be risky but I needed have worried - they cmae topped with strawberry jam and porper clotted cream. Has both attractive indoor and outdoor seating areas.

    Good night out. If you sit near the stage think up a boring job title and don’t wear a loud shirt.

    Hidden away on the banks of the Thames at Walton, this quaint old Theatre barn has some great live music events and the small cafe has good wholesome food, definitely support this venue!

    Currently this place is still closed due to COVID-19 restrictions. However the RiverHouse Barn community cafe place is open for takeaway and you can sit in the terrace. They have free car park for customers. We love this local small theatre 🎭 pre covid they show many family friendly shows and they do comedy club once a month. I really look forward to going back once it’s safe to do so.

    A good place to have lunch - never know what is going to be on the menu. The small art gallery always has interesting exhibitions

    Nice little cafe but clearer directions needed from wooden sign on the Thames foot path. Could do with more choice on the menu, we had the choice of toasties or soup. Staff friendly, cafe clean & toasties were nice.

    Great little theatre/performance venue. Friendly and help staff make you feel welcome. The small cafe serves excellent coffee, can't comment on the food as I didn't have any. There is also a bar. Both the cafe and the bar were open for a pre performance drinks, they share share the same seating area.

    Nice place for a pot of tea, various kinds. Same with coffee. Cakes and snacks available too. Good for all age groups. Arts displays upstairs always a bonus, really enjoy them. Nearby walks along The Thames ,what's not to like?

😐 Saw an AmDram performance of Curtains. The cast gave it all but to be honest the play let them down ..particularly 2nd half. You can't fault the effort and commitment of the people who support this playhouse. Has a small bar and you can take drinks into the performance. Certainly a venue worth suppo...
