OK, for pub suggestions we have the Eagle or Henry's. Mikec, Fc9k, can you guys vouch for any one of these? On the river sounds great, but you're right, if it's a small pub and going to be rammed, then probably better going someplace else.
The anchor is a good suggestion. Its big too. I'd go for the Granta instead though, its got a massive patio out back on the river, I'm sure you'll seat everyone there.
They're within about 20 yards of each other though, so go to one first and if it doesnt take your fancy head to the other.
Henry's - honest to god I've never heard of it, and I've been here 4 years and been to pretty much most places.
[edit] Whoops, I'm a bit slow it seems. Yep after a google it seems henrys is pretty poorly thought of. Mashton's suggestion of Mill/Anchor is the best bet, lots of grass to sit on and some decent ales if thats your bag.
