“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”

“Orwell’s delivered an unforgettable Christmas day lunch! The food was absolutely sublime, with every dish crafted to perfection. The front-of-house staff were warm, attentive, and made the experience even more special. Definitely a 5-star experience from start to finish – highly recommended!”

“Huge and delicious seafood boil, could share it between 3 with a few sides. :) lovely French Sauvignon Blanc as well went perfectly. Service was prompt and friendly and they even surprised us with a nice happy birthday plate with our dessert.”

“Great Mexican with nice decor and super friendly and attentive staff. The cocktails are amazing. Big and strong, like they should be and the same with the starters. Large portions. The mains were equally big and full of flavour. Would definitely be coming back for more.”

“I dropped in for a lovely lunch this afternoon, and on every front (especially service) the Giggling Squid is a MUST. Harriet looked after us and was such a great advert for Henley’s top eaterie. Well worth a visit. You won’t be disappointed, Tony.”

“Popped in as it was recommended to us and we were greeted by 2 lovely members of staff, chose our table by the fire and ordered drinks and small plates. Everything came quickly, my cocktail was yummy, hubby was won over because his come came in a bottle. Our food was absolutely gorgeous and being by the fire watching the world go by was just perfect”

“It is rare I don't manage to finish an English Breakfast. But I must admit my defeat, as the portion at Spoon Cafe is twice as big as normal. And it's good quality too! Also tried their Eggs Royale, very generous as well. And took some of their flapjacks takeaway.”

“Very nice spacious area, pleasant waiter, lovely cook Ricardo prepared everything very well and fresh for me and my friend. Nice room lighting, clean, fast service, and delicately delicious food, with good drinks with a distinctive flavor. Enjoyable place.”

“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.”

“Came here for a meal with friends and was very impressed. The restaurant is light and airy with a lovely atmosphere. The staff were very attentive and had great service. The menu is very varied, although there is a limited vegetarian menu. The food was delicious and very well cooked!”

“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.”

“Stunning food. Had the naga curry. Good heat but not over powering / load of flavour and freshly cooked.”

“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 :)”

“Lovely place for eating out. The cafe itself is located very central on this nice little English town. @tmosphere is as always cool, very French feel and people sit near to each other but still there is some tables that can be separated from others. SERVICE Very good! We were served by lovely ladies, Daniella and Fatima.Very kind and professional... FOOD Excellent food.Very tasty and well cooked. I was there with friends from Kerith church in Windsor and we had a lovely time.... each one orederd something different...all were satisfied. Highly recommend this place and if ever in the vicinity I would go there again...”

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

“I recently noticed that this store opened so decided to visit it. The pizza is very good value (£5.99 for a medium pizza or £7.99 for a large pizza - 2 toppings). In my opinion, it tastes better than Domino's. I would definitely recommend going here as it's cheap and tastes great!”

“Delicious, fresh food, all three of us had different variety boxes and a smaller box each, so 6+ dishes and they were wonderful! Really enjoyable.”

“I had an absolutely wonderful meal at Spice Merchant in Henley. From the moment we walked in, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed — perfect for both a casual lunchtime and a special occasion. The food was outstanding — beautifully presented and full of authentic flavors. Every dish tasted fresh and perfectly spiced, especially the winter warmers ,chicken tikka biryani. The naan was soft and fluffy, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into both the cooking and the service here. Easily one of the best Indian restaurants in the area. I’ll definitely be returning soon and recommending it to friends and family!”

“Nice place!!!! Never had the pleasure to try Nepalese cuisine. What a discovery!!! Food was great and service was amazing! The owner and the staff were very attentive. Two extra words for the owner: super character. Very funny and chatty! A pleasure to be here.”

“As a Persian, I really enjoyed the food, it was authentic, delicious, and beautifully presented. The staff were also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Fabulous food from a local kitchen. Mali's dishes are a crowd pleaser. If you fancy a takeaway or hassle free entertaining I would thoroughly recommend popping into Mali's kitchen. I was also.lucky enough to attend one of Mali"s cookery classes. Great fun and great food, all wrapped in to one evening. Well done Mali”

“Even if you’re not a rower, this is a remarkable find – wonderful location, gorgeous old club, very spacious, comfortable, and bright room. And if you are a rower, the memorabilia is amazing and a drink on the deck watching the crews go by is a blast. It’s like being invited to stay at the Vatican for an evening.”

“A surprise dinner booked by hubby. The restaurant is cosy with proper tablecloths. The mirrors on the walls make it look bigger but it was lovely. Staff are friendly, menu was quite extensive in choice and they still had specials available. Choices were beef carpaccio- veal - cauliflower cheese - minestrone soup and lam in mushroom and red wine sauce , potato’s and mixed veg…. It all tasted really good - we will be back”

“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”

“Nice cozy pub. We went there after a walk along the Chiltern way. Photo is taken at Greys Court nearby”

“Boooooom! Service, food, location… 5 star all the way! Immediately after a lovely morning cruise, and the brain calories burnt along the way in speed using a knots system, then immediately off the boat and straight into this fabulous riverside restaurant that enables dine al fresco with a shade, to avoid getting burnt! The food was absolutely amazing and service was exceptionally warming and welcoming at the same time!”
