Old Boots left this review about The Dolphin

Very, very busy on a Saturday afternoon in September, a large riverside pub open plan with a central servery, which has a neat bar back. Five pulls, alas or maybe luckily just Thornbridge / Greene King’s co-lab Genevieve and Three Brothers A Slice of Sunshine, otherwise two low T - bars of the usuals. Various seating areas on different levels with some remaining original features. Nice view of the swing bridge is probably the most charitable comment, usual screens, machines and over loud music. The beer was distinctly average as were the punters. Not worth a revisit I fear.

Strongers . left this review about The Dolphin

To the right of the entrance to the Dolphin is a raised seating area with views over the bridge and across the river, prime seating for those who like to people watch. To the left of the entrance is the bar area with a serving counter that faces high tables that run across the front windows and up the left-hand wall to a small rear seating area with a blocked up fireplace on the rear wall. Steps either side of the counter lead up to the toilets and another room at the rear that was lights out. On the recent Monday evening I visited there was some background music playing and all the televisions were off, but live sport is advertised so expect football when available. There were a dozen people in the pub, but the seating outside under a jumbrella was more popular with all the tables being full with tourists.
Standard and premium keg were available from the bar alongside Beavertown’s Neck Oil. The five hand pumps were drawing a couple of ciders alongside Butcombe’s Rare Breed, The Dolphin Pale Ale (?) and Salt Beer Factory’s Merino Juicy Pale Ale. The service was laboured, it was easy to see that the two barpersons didn’t want to be there. For a pub in such a prime location I was left a bit disappointed and will walk past next time.
