Pub in Henley-on-thames

“Found this place randomly whilst on a motorbike ride and very pleased we decided to stop. Service was excellent - staff very friendly and helpful. Food excellent - easy to see how much care and attention is put into each dish. Would definitely recommend”

“Amazing Saucy Spinach Eggs and Bloody Mary for Sunday Brunch, excellent portion sizes too! Tried a side of french black pudding, that we will defo have again too.”

“Dinner after a day at the Henley Regatta. Hadn't booked and pubs were rammed full. This was an oasis of calm with lovely food and perfect service. Thank you”

“Best burger i have ever eaten! I was there a bit early in the evening, wasn't packed. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. I would easily recommend this place.”

“I stayed here for 3 nights in total between moving homes! Lovely area, I didn’t want to leave! Beautiful design throughout, amazing food and wine. The customer service on the bar was great, especially as we had a three year old :)”

“Really enjoyed.the burger special - good value, great burger and friendly service. The pub had a great buzz. We will definately be back”

“Outstanding 3-screen cinema, conveniently situated in the heart of Henley-on-Thames, very close to a large car park - £3 for 3 hours parking. The staff are all friendly and very helpful. They make you feel at home immediately. From the cosy coffee shop located on the ground floor to the cafe bar on the first floor, the Regal Picturehouse feels both luxurious and homely. Both the ground floor and first-floor cafe seating areas afford pleasant views of the surrounding town. The tea and coffee we purchased tasted very nice indeed. The screening rooms, like everything else, are kept scrupulously clean. The seats are comfortable, with plenty of leg room. The sound is loud enough but not too loud and crystal clear. The adverts before the film, not too long at all. The toilets are clean and well-appointed and offer up hand lotion as well as liquid soap. A nice touch. There is a customer lift as well as stairs to the first floor. There is an option to become a member, which as well as offering plenty of benefits with regards to the cinema, also includes discounts for patronising local businesses in the town. Regal Picturehouse, Henley, comes very highly recommended indeed.”

“We took a party of 47 oldies and volunteers for a day trip to Henley on 11 June - a river boat trip along the Henley regatta course and on to the Baskerville Arms in Shiplake for a wonderful lunch and a relaxing afternoon in their beautiful pub garden before the coach trip back home to Farnham. Graham and Gill were so helpful in advance of our visit - creating a special menu and endeavouring to meet specific needs. And on the day all food was served in good time and efficiently by a team of happy and willing staff with everybody getting what they had advanced ordered. So many positive comments from our oldies - they want to go back next year!! Graham also ensured that the coach could park right outside the pub making life so much easier for everyone. Thank you for a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️++ service and meal.”

“What a delightful experience - pre Christmas family lunch on Sunday 14th December. The new owners have done a great job. Food was excellent, service equally welcoming. Have been visiting the Stoke Row area for around 15years now - this was the best lunchtime/ dinner we have had - great value and quality. Thanks”

“We visited with friends for Sunday roast as a colleague had heard great things about this pub with its new owners. Our booking was for 1pm and we were greeted with friendly faces and shown to our table. There was no menu but, we were shown the blackboard with all of today's choices written on it. There were a few choices if you did not want a roast. After getting drinks all four of us chose the roast lamb. When our food arrived OMG it looked incredible. Large dining plates with a great selection and portion of mixed veggies, roasties, cauliflower cheese and a large (but not football sized) Yorkshire pudding. All this covered and swimming in gravy. The Yorkshire was surprisingly moist and tasty for its size. I am not a fan of the huge ones as they are usually dry and crunchy but, this was perfect! The lamb was delicious and so soft and flavoursome. The selection of veggies were perfect and not overcooked. The roasties were fantastic and with the gravy were demolished with enjoyment. To cut a long story short. We finished our main courses with smiling faces and 4 completely empty plates. Pudding choices were 2 Sticky toffee Puddings with ice cream and 2 crumble and custard. Again four very contented diners having had what we all agreed was the best pub Sunday roast and pudding that tasted like it was home cooked! Thank you Grace and Mike for your hospitality. Looking forward to our next visit already (whenever that is..)”

“Nineteen years ago, we held our wedding reception here, so returned on our anniversary for the night. The Inn has been updated sympathetically, and really enhanced. The room was quirky and well appointed, and the staff couldn't have been any better. Utterly friendly and helpful, and couldn't do enough for us. Supper was delicious, the chap making the cocktails was a delight, and breakfast was spot-on. We won't be leaving it nineteen years till the next visit.”

“Today we went to Hoffa for the first time and it was Father’s Day. We had a wonderful time! Being South African, it was such a treat to have South African food and drink options! Service was exceptional with Sophie and Anar looking after us from the moment we walked in. Food was absolutely delicious and the presentation of the food was outstanding! Everything was cooked to perfection! We will definitely be back! Thank you for making Father’s Day so special.”

“A cozy, quirky pub, with so much character. Loved popping in here for a drink. A great atmosphere, friendly service. Plenty of selection and good prices. Only advice...watch your head on the beams!!! Duck, duck, duck!! I have a recomendation after witnessing a customer hit his head badly on the beam near the bar. I am sat in another pub right now and in the picture attached they have cushioned the risky beam. May e an idea for "The Old Bell". As the sign is not visible enough to customers.”

“After visiting the B&G, Andrei and his wife Alina have been so welcoming every time we have been in. The pub is lovely with their presence and are so attentive. Great service! Thank you.”

“Not eaten here so no comment, but I'd imagine the nosebag is decent. Harvey's Sussex Bitter is the go to beer here and a classic. Budvar too and other decent beers with Amstel, Birra Moretti, Cruzcampo etc for those who drink the label and have to have it on their glass.”

“This is a great spot to have a beer and play some pool or darts and watch the sports. I’ve never had food in there but a good spot for a decent selection of beers”

“*Restaurant review* Food was absolutely delicious. My partner and I shared the camembert special for a starter which was very well prepared and came with plenty of bread relish, garlic and butter. We had the salmon and the pie of the day for our mains which were both enormous portions which we really appreciated. Very well cooked and seasoned. Shared the chocolate torte for dessert as we were stuffed after the generous portions which was also great quality. Service was timely and polite despite it being very busy. Strong recommendation.”

“Such a great place for food - we stumbled upon it by accident in the summer and have been several times. There is a lovely lake to walk round with the dogs and then pop in for a drink or food (dog friendly). We had a Sunday roast and the food came out quickly and piping hot. Would absolutely recommend, good food and good value for money”

“Stopped off at the Flower Pot for a pint during a walk around the area. Beautiful old pub, nice outdoor area and friendly staff. Plan on coming back soon to try the food!”

“What a place - it understandably attracts a lot of custom and has a real "buzz" about it!! ... stayed one night and had dinner & breakfast. The rooms are "dated" but clean and quite comfortable. The staff are amazing - don't know how Wetherspoons do it. I interacted with five different staff over our stay and they were all polite, helpful and confidently spoken. Extensive menu and food served within 10 minutes of ordering. The service and value for money can not be faulted - I wish Wetherspoons could run the NHS & country! A great location bang in the centre of the charming town of Henley-on-Thames.”

“An exceptional company where passion, care and attention to detail across its range of fantastic pubs and inns with rooms, makes any of them a pleasure to visit.”
