I thoroughly agree with Stephen B. The management really need to work on their customer service! What could have been a pleasant lunch - the food was nicely cooked and good quality, the wine was OK - was completely ruined by a service that was by turns slow (the young girl serving), then impatient and rude (the older woman who...

Cantankerous owner who clearly wished he was elsewhere, masks a pleasant pub that could be so much more.

We were ushered in by a lovely gentleman and thought that we were going to have a lovely lunch here. However on finding that I had no vegetarian main course options, I asked for help from the waitress. At this point a woman (thought to be a co-owner) interrupted and suggested French onion soup. This is often made with chicken... More

We did not stay, but stopped for lunch. The manager/landlord or however was rude demeaning and arrogant. It was like he was doing us a great favour by allowing us to lunch at his pub. The food was ok, but certainly not the best I have had. I would certainly not recommend it, and no way would I visit there... More

The room and bathroom were very pleasant and clean, and the... More

Stayed one night but comfy, good decor, great location for Henley Festival or Regatta. Didnt have chance to try the restaurant but i hear its very good with a french flavour - esp. the pressed duck.

On a day out in May with our family we decided to stop at this Inn for Sunday Lunch. We had no prior knowledge of the place, i.e whether it was 'child friendly' or not. We were a group of four adults and two small children, one a 8 month old. After being seated, and realising that there were no... More

Room was clean and comfortable but the drains in the bathroom were blocked so it was difficult to shower or even clean your teeth. The food was, at best, average: shell in the crab, venison too rare but lamb over done. We ordered a second bottle of red but no one was asked to try it, it was just added... More
