Henley Piazza in South Oxfordshire

Lovely setting right near the river Panini was delicious and the staff were friendly The food took a while but it was worth it Definitely recommend stopping here

What a grotty place to eat . The staff were pleasent enough apart from the dark haired man arrogant,rude,ignorant He said to yeah what do you want? An elderly lady was in front of he didnt even talk to her just raised his eyebrows. Unfortunately he's the type of person you want to punch in the face. Reading the reviews people have been complaining about him for years How is he still there. Food was pretty awful too. GIVE IT A MISS go hungry

I went today for some ice cream along the river and for £2.50 the ice cream was very poor. It was very gritty and tasted bland. Was quite disappointed. To add onto that the drinks weren’t coke.

This was a great find as we walked our dog along the Thames tow path. We weren't expecting much and ordered a latte and bacon roll but were pleasantly surprised. The latte was better than some of the more expensive coffee shops we'd visited during our stay and the bacon roll was delicious! We sat outside (as we had the dog) and there was dog water available. Handy to have the toilets available at the Bowling green right next to it.

After a very enjoyable day at the duck race found ourselves a bit hungry came across franca's bbq the burgers were delicious and great value for money hit the spot served by very friendly people

I had the pleasure of using Henley Piazza with a group of work colleagues last Friday. Pino provided us with breakfast, coffees and a lot of humour before we sailed the Thames on a work event. Pino had us laughing all morning and I couldn't rate him highly enough!

Fabulous food and fantastic service from the owner Pino. Pino was ever so friendly and a high energy spirit to kick off the day - thank you for your fabulous service!

A large group of work colleagues stopped by Henley Piazza for breakfast before boating on the Thames. Pino is an incredible host and brought the sunshine to a wet and windy day with his generosity, humour and kindness. Alongside his brother, Felice and colleague Iain, Pino and his team do an incredible job serving coffeee, breakfasts and smiles to the people of Henley!

For an establishment that caters to those wanting a quick meal they sure do take their sweet time! Been here 3 times (not out of personal choice) and always had to wait over 30 mins for just chips. Wouldn't mind if the quality was good, but they are bog standard average quality chips. Henley Piazza has potential to be a great place by the river but it's outdated menu and faded decor shows that it's location means no matter how bad it is they will always have custom.

Walking along the beauty toe-path and stubbled across this lovely little cafe. I fancied something "quick and easy" and ordered a lovely mozzarella, tomato and basil toastie which was just lovely. I waited 5 minutes which was a pretty decent time considering the cafe was so busy! The young gentleman who served me was charming and full of character and just added to the experience. We didn't have ice cream as it was a little chilly but I will definitely be back! (Hopefully you will have some of the mozzarella toasties left)

Visited today , Very friendly staff could not do enough for me . Good quality coffee at reasonable prices . Great location to enjoy a drink . Restaurant not open due to current restrictions but looking forward to visiting when they are.

Find somewhere else. Absolute waste of money, and the staff member didn’t seem to be interested in being there.

Checked opening times online. Arrived with my frail mother in law at 10.50am and told to wait. Should have been open at 10am! Staff member was rude about where we could sit and made us feel very unwelcome. We will not be back!

Decent cafe in a small park area by the thames. Food good nice portions at fair prices. Staff busy and friendly.

Great friendly staff who do a fantastic bacon and egg roll! Great place to sit and have a coffee and an ice cream too!

Lovely and happy service that delivered my family with a very satisfying lunch. Also had good knowledge about the area. Looking forward to going back soon!

stopped by here today for a coffee. Not a very friendly reception despite no queue. When asked if he had an alternative to dairy milk for a coffee his reply was "yeah black" when replying to a customer I would have expected a reply along the lines of no sorry we have alternative milks but I could make you a black coffee. Sarcasm never goes down well with customers. Its 2020 sir so lets start being polite and catering for allergies and vegans.

Just a thank you to all the staff at the cafe on mill meadows park they have gone above and beyond to make customer and their families feel safe with all the things that have been put into place for the social distancing etc and still manage to serve us their very tasty icecream through all these hard timesKeep up the good work.

We always stop off here, you can eat outside were there is the band stand which has music playing in the summer months. We always eat inside which is kept extremely clean and tidy. The staff are friendly and polite. The food is varied from breakfasts, sandwich's,pizzas and varied snacks. We find its a brilliant stop off before a relaxing walk up the river to Marsh Lock. We would recommend this Piazza and is family friendly.

Henley piazza needs to catch up with the times. Food cheap quality, fatty, oily and not great tasting. decor needs updating. For Henley which is full of fab coffee shops, this place is at the bottom. They need to look around places to what is happening with food, how it is presented etc. Ice cream is great, but, quite honestly, this kind of food and quality was served in the 70's

Franca's Ice Cream van is almost a tradition at the Henley Alumni Regatta Day! Some of the most pleasant staff and such a wide range of fresh ice cream. Definitely a crowd favorite no matter the weather :)

Walking the Thames Path and spotted this across the open grassland. Very conveniently located for walking the path, with picnic tables outside and toilets nearby. Ideal location for families due to the open parkland. Decent coffee and tuna sandwich at reasonable prices. You order your food at the window and when it is ready, your number is called out.

We love this cafe. Icecream is the best for miles around. We've been coming here for years. Chips are great too.

Lunch out with our Grandson after visiting Mill Meadows playgrounds. I had the Full English, my wife had a toastie and our grandson had the children's fish nuggets with chips.All of the food was well cooked, but to be honest the fat / oil that the hash browns and chips were cooked in left rather an after taste in the mouth. The fish nuggets were more like wholemeal coated fish strips.I was surprised that tea was served in a plastic takeaway cup rather than china despite the fact we were eating inside.Overall the inside of the café was clean and tables were cleared quickly.Public toilets are situated nearby and were both clean and free of charge.

I was very disappointed to find hair in my ice cream. I gave you second chance because that was my second time. I know that’s can happened but twice. It’s shame.

We came for a small lunch, ice cream and drinks last Easter. Staff were very polite, the place was amazingly clean and the terrace table has been cleaned immediately after previous guests just left. The kitchen was sparkling and the kitchen crew washed their hands every time when they touched something else apart from food or they started preparing a new meal. Everything was very tasty and the price was not terribly high.

I have to say, very impressed. I had a cheese and ham toastie today and must say.... never had one like it. I wasnted a second that’s how tasty it was. The staff very attentive with a young chap who was a pleasure to talk too! See you soon!

Had breakast at the Piazza at the start of the Chiltern 50 walk. The staff were amazing - really friendly and fun, despite being rushed off their feet. The breakfast rolls were just perfect and the cooked breakfasts looked good too.

Un gran agradecimiento a Pino y todo su personal por servir más de 100 desayunos abundantes para nuestros excursionistas y corredores antes de iniciar el "Desafío Chiltern" de 50 km que recaudó más de 150,000 para varias organizaciones benéficas. El servicio fue de primera clase y muy apreciado por los participantes y todos en Action Challenge.

Good Points Clean, good views of the river, pleasant service. Bad points Undrinkable coffee, sloppy, greasy bacon, overcooked hash browns, rubbery eggs , undercooked sliced white “toast” with no option & deafening commercial radio

Pino, Robert thank you so much for coming and make our clients happy:) you guys are amazing .... the best customer service ever we have received:):) 100 STAR for you guys - well done :):) Andrea

Question is where do I start? We went down the other day and ordered the Henley breakfast (£7) which was the definition of heaven! Best breakfast for miles around. Plus the friendly service, been here many times and never seen a grumpy face.

Great little coffee shop by the river to stop and get tea or coffee and light meals, friendly efficient staff. Our coffees were absolutely fine, plenty of outside tables with some in the shade of a sun canopy. Good views of park and river, public toilets nearby in information centre. We also had ice creams later that day from this little cafe and they were fabulous. Plenty of choice of cones and flavours of ice cream but we had the Mr Wippy style, which was creamy and thick not full of air like some, it had substance. We will go again.

A great experience and a fantastic addition to our Wedding Day. Pino was fantastic and made it a lot of fun. Myself and my wife were able to serve our guests the ice cream ourselves and even chose a bride and grooms choice for our guests to choose from. Such a fun thing to do and if we have an event or party again we wouldn't hesitate to contact Pino and his team again.

Been to Henley many times and been passed this little gem. Parking is a pain as many people park here and walk along the river. Putting that aside the food and service was excellent. When we went the café was empty but for us. We had the large classic and vegetarian breakfast. The food was freshly cooked and well presented. And of course the compulsory coffee and tea. So if you are in for some fresh cooked food give them a try

We arranged for Pino B to serve Ice Creams for our Daughter's Wedding fete at Monkton Barn. Most of the guests arrived from the church before the bride & groom in their vintage Rolls Royce and Pino, with his daughter Daniela, provided superb ice cream in a highly amusing way that started the party atmosphere swinging.

This is a lovely place to eat. There is a varied menu and very nice food. The staff are very helpful and lovely surroundings to enjoy. We can highly recommend their Cherry Ice Cream too!!

Restaurant is in pretty location of Henley by the River Thames It’s clean and tidy and would use again

This is a lovely little cafe ran by a super friendly lovely lady and her team. You will not find a cleaner place! Good food and great service in one of the best river settings. Highly recommend.

Four of us had the full English mega breakfast. Was really yummy so not sure what the other idiot who reviewed this place is coming from. (Just looking for attention I guess). Ice cream was great as always, busy but popular and waiting times virtually non existent. Had a laugh with a owner who was in top form. Excellent place for food, drink and ice cream. Very well priced as well. Thanks.

But I couldn't stomach it after the horrendous full English. Each item tasted worse than the last, clearly bought from a wholesale chain. I was nearly sick after. Staff were find, but wouldn't go back for love or money. Top 5 worst Full English breakfasts I have ever had.

Visited on the last day of a stag.. absolutely great place run by lovely guy. Free ice creams too if you're nice!

We’ve been here many times and the service and food is always amazing! Francis ice cream is delicious and the staff are amazingly friendly! We actually got to meet Pino the boss today who treated us so well and gave our boys a free kit kat! But the best bit was a while ago my sister left her wallet here and one of the staffbought it home to their office in high Wycombe drove to our house and left a note through the door and we picked it up at the office. Amazing! I’d really recommend it beautiful place and so family friendly

Prime location near the river ensures a steady stream of customers. Probably deserves more than average score but not quite very good. Offers usual cafe fare and decent choices for kids. Won't break the bank, cheerful staff, food freshly prepared.

I was in the area with my children and I searched on trip advisor for a place to have icrecream. I haven't been to Henley before so I followed the directions. It said OPEN NOW.

A great location by the river. Fantastic in the summer but also good to stop off for a snack and hot drink in the winter. Very friendly staff and very clean and tidy. Also buy food for the ducks here

We visited this place with our family & friends. It was a bit busy but the serving was really quick. The staff members were really helpful and professional, I could feel they went that extra mile in customer service. The food was deliciuos! I hope to return soon.

We come to Henley-on-Thames once a year, and usually park in the centre, though this time we parked down by...

We headed out to Henley today on the Motorbike and found this nice Little Cafe, we stopped and ordered 2...

A nnice cafe but very poor unfriendly service. If the service was up to scratch then it would get more...

We hired Pino's ice cream van for our annual staff event, and it was such an amazing experience! All of...

There was 4 of us in our group and we really enjoyed a delicious breakfast here on a Saturday morning...

We made the mistake to ask for a couple of ice creams at 17:39; 21 min before closing time. Staff had already closed some shutters and were clearing away. They were obviously more interested in clocking off early than serving customers and were just plain rude. We will not be back. Luckily we found the Anchor pub near the bridge were we enjoyed a good meal with friendly service.

Franca came to our office building and brightened up a dull day, not only with his superb ice-cream, but with his joyful personality too.Would recommend for any event.Thank you!

Located by the river with parking as well and a lovely green this is a great place to take the kids to play and feast. The food was good, plentiful and tasty. There are plenty of benches plus the grass and loos nearby so on a sunny day just a perfect spot.

Stayed in Henley and we stopped at the cafe for a drink and ice cream great location in a beautiful park.

This was a great place to visit on a Sunday afternoon. The ice cream was what made it all worthwhile. Great value, friendly staff and the large flake ice cream I had was one of the best I had the pleasure of eating. I will be coming here again on my next visit to Henley.

I live in West London and ride a motorcycle. I discovered Henley Piazza several years ago and have been a regular visitor ever since. It is my Ice Cream destination of choice. Always a very warm welcome from Bambi and the other members of staff. Great location right next to the Thames. Beautiful place to take a walk and stretch the muscles while enjoying a delicious ice cream... try the pistachio, it's my favourite. Often have one of my teenage children with me, who always insist that this is our first stop when out for the day on the bike. See you soon Bambi. All the best, Mike..

Lovely meet up place for dog owners on any morning but we tend to meet friends here on a Sunday morning for a coffee. Friend staff and well priced considered the wonderful location.

Fantastic staff with a quick service and a smile. Perfect place to grab an ice cream or a meal on a summers day. Will be back soon.

Had a lovely meal by the river, great staff couldn't be more helpful, and lovely food. Enjoyed my first Icecream of the year.

Great day out with my partner and my son, weather was great, food was great and the service was top notch. Will definitely be coming back.

I've been visiting Henley Piazza for several years and have always found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. I'm in a wheelchair and have never had a problem with access.The menu offers a good variety of quality food and is reasonably priced. I strongly recommend the ice cream!

We stopped here for a sandwich today while exploring Henley on Thames. Food was great with fast and friendly service, and it was lovely to sit outside next to the river and watch the view.

Went out for an afternoon in Henley not long ago, beautiful scenery along Henley river whereby the piazza is located. Firstly the location is absolutely stunning, picturesque most of the time dependent on weather. Secondly on arrival to the piazza, we where greeted beautifully by Bambi who is management and also her staff made us feel welcome and warm when we came in. There is a wide selection of ice cream available for everyone, also an array of meals or small snack are available dependant on preference. Service provided by the staff was great as hot drinks where quick to come along with our food. Would like to thank Bambi and the team for rounding off our afternoon brilliantly and also helping us choose something new to try. Would highly recommend visiting even for just a quick coffee and the views of the surrounding area.

An absolute gem of a place in a lovely location by the Thames. The service is first class and the staff here are lovely. The choice and quality of the food is fantastic and the selection of ice cream is also a winner! Highly recommend a visit here.

Always receive a warm welcome from the staff at the Henley Piazza. Simple fare, but hits the spot. Have been taking our children on walks along the meadows for years and the piazza is always a highlight. Served by Bambi with her cheerful smile. Left with ice creams all round, even on a winters day.

Perfect location all year round for families with young children,A Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Very impressed with the menu, great value and comes with excellent service.highly recommended

Ok so I'm going to keep this short. On December 5th 2016 at half 12 me and my friends decided to visit in order to order some food and gather some warmth from the outside. When me and my friend first entered the piazza I ordered a burger with onions and SALAD. This costs approximately £3.50 of which I was told would take 6 mins. After receiving my burger I had to wait another 10 mins in the restaurant for my salad. Only when I confronted the staff about the issue of only receiving part of my meal I was told they were out. After this they refused to give me any money back and demanded I pay full price for the half of my meal. After I argued with them I managed to get about 50p back. After this I was told to get out and never come back. This is absolutely disgraceful service and working in the service industry myself I feel that this was completely unjustified, I did not angrily argue with the woman I simply stated that I should not be charged fully for only part of my meal. The burger itself was extremely greasy, undercooked and slippery to eat. When the rest of my group tried to join me inside they were told to leave as they were not going to buy anything even though we were the only people in there and obviously not taking up any space, all we wanted to do was to sit quietly in the warmth. In the end we all ordered food in order to stay there and still we were told to never come back. I feel diddled out of my money and if they specified they could not do anything about the salad before I ordered It would not have been an issue but the fact that they refused to specify on both the order for me and my friend makes me angry. Especially the fact that I talked calmly to the woman and still got told to never come back makes me extremely angry, this was poor customer service to 5 ordering customers and even if I could I would never come back.

We often pop in to the Piazza and get a lovely friendly welcome. This is a cafe on the green by the river offering good snacks and light meals. Outside is an ideal place to watch the world go by and indoors is warm and welcoming on colder days.

We visit the Henley Piazza on a regular basis. By the river in the middle of Henley with a wide open area for the kids and our dog to run around, I couldn't think of a better spot to sit, have an ice cream and watch the world go by. The food is excellent and very well priced and, above all, with Bambi at the helm the entire staff are always kind, friendly and great with our two kids. We will continue to visit the Henley Piazza for as long as it never changes!

We booked the Piazza for 21 people after a boat trip in Henley. They closed the inside to make room for us and we're very accommodating for several disabled people in the party. We were unfortunately late after getting stuck at the lock, but the staff were unbelievably understanding and we had a wonderful well needed lunch with coffee and ice creams. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Will definitely be visiting again. The perfect place to eat on a sunny (or rainy) afternoon!

Henley Piazza is a favourite with our elderly residents.So we asked the fantastic Pino to visit us with his ice cream van at our residential care home. Pino was fantastic he made sure every single one of our residents felt special, it is amazing how ice cream can put a smile on anyones face what ever their age.

I visited Henley this week with my family I have 3 small children who keep changing there minds n what they would like to have the staff in Henley piazza was very polite and understanding that kids take time to choose what ice cream they would like. My youngest is 11 months and they did a lovely ice cream in a pot for him. Thank you. Me and my wife had coffee and a toasty which was very lovely. This really made are day with the service we had as most places rush you when there's people behind you. Will will def be coming back to eat and have ice cream again. Thank you again

We dropped into Henley Piazza three times during the Henley Regatta. The staff were so rude on every visit! The prices are over inflated: no wonder it was practically empty every time we went in! Won't be back!

Went for a day out playing and walking then the kids wanted an ice cream and I've had plenty in my time, but I would like to say that this was the perfect way to finish the day of with a beautiful ice cream.

Our favourite place when visiting Henley Really friendly staff and the desserts are fresh and delicious Lovely coffee too !Thanks and see you soon

I visited henley piazza with my niece's and nefews to get them a ice cream I thought It was good value for money and the staff where very friendly and the Italian ice cream tasted fantastic I will defernantly be coming back again

A great spot for refreshments. Tea was fine but the tea cake was a bit burnt and too dry. Staff appeared to be busy chatting to themselves rather than focusing on the customers. Will return to try the ice cream as they looked good.

What can I say this is the second year that I have used Pino and his ice-cream van to treat the staff at the HI Maidenhead, not only does his ice cream taste out of this world Pino himself is such a wonderful and friendly person always happy and laughing. The young girl that came out for the second time was also really good I can't wait for next year and might have to visit Henley very soon.

A great little place to stop off with the family in Henley park. Good service and nice ice cream. Would recommend.

If your out for a day in the park, a stroll through it or looking to get a burger but not pay silly prices then the Piazza has something for you. The very friendly owner has always served up great snacks and burgers whenever ice been - it's a great spot just to sit and people watch in the summer especially if fog walking or taking the young ones for their crazy half hour of exercise and mayhem. You can sit outside and watch them carefully play in !ill meadows and have a reasonably priced ice cream and a cold drink - well worth dropping in for a cool drink in summer too.

Popped in here for refreshment after a stroll along the towpath. We had one of the best cheese and onion toasties ever and one of the best cups of coffee too. Very reasonable. Seating inside and out and in very pleasant position near the river.

My first visit to Henley Piazza, 10 out 10 rating, very friendly staff and service, very modern and absolutely amazing coffee have to say it was better then costa.will be coming back.

great place to stop for a bacon sandwich and a mug of tea nothing is to much trouble for the staff bit to cold to have a ice cream so will return in warm weatherpeter d

Went to Piazza when visiting Henley to walk our dog by the river,we found the staff wonderful couldnt do enough for you , food was great and very good value for money, not to mention the ice cream fabulous, now we go every time we go into Henley.Can thouroughly recommend you try this little gem P Budd.

Went into piazza with friends ,staff made you so welcome food was fabulous ,would go back again when in Henley

Visited again and once again tremendous value for money large portions, nothing is too much trouble for the staff. All topped off by the fantastic ice cream with a large variety of flavours. Will definitely recommend and be returning in the near future

Found the food was really poor , oily and plain.Food tasted like the fish and chicken and fries are all done in the same oil Hamburger - asked for fresh onion on my meal but got a plain bun no butter half an onion and half cooked meat .Hot chocolate well lumpy can describe it

Our group of 22 booked lunch here in September - Pino was a lovely host, flexible and friendly. The staff were exceptionally nice to us - our group contained a number of registered blind people, and the ladies in his team were most thoughtful. Good value for money and great base to use for lunch near the tow path and museum.

Pino joined my daughters 6th birthday party and what a 'special treat'. Very child friendly and met everyones needs. Ice-creams very delicious and the van was spotless. The children and parents loved the whole ice-cream experience. Thank you Pino.

The setting is quite nice & the prices were reasonable. However the coffee was at best very poor with only milk & no offer of cream.The chips were average.

We got Franca's Ice Cream van to come out last minute to our film set to provide ice cream at lunch time to our cast and crew as a treat. The guys were fantastic and their personalities, service and fantastic array of ice creams and ice lollies went down a storm. Best ice cream I've ever had from a van! The guys were very friendly, extremely flexible and provided a fantastic service which ticked all our boxes. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

Pino and his amusing team came to our Event event and delighted us all with their costumes and disco music. Ice cream portions were very generous and the ice cream was delicious. Would recommend as an alternative to desserts at any function.Can't rate the restaurant because this wasn't on site there.

Ice cream van visit was a great touch to our employee appreciation day at work. You had everyone talking (in a good way). Very friendly and hilarious! The ice-cream was lovely too.

Thank you for bringing your Ice cream van to my Grandson’s christening last weekend, it was a brilliant touch to a wonderful day, all the guest especially the kids loved it and was very impressed with the warm and friendly service from Pino and Ian, it made a huge difference. (And they do the best Ice cream going) Thank you Francas Ice cream! Would 110% recommend them.

We visited today for lunch.The vegetarian burger was a cheap rice & carrot one which to be honest wasn't nice.My Mother had a bacon roll which she said was quite fatty. My son had a burger & chips that he said was ok.It was difficult to order as the lady serving didn't really understand our order due to a language barrier. Went here a few years ago & remember it being much better. Wouldn't be somewhere I would rush to visit again.

Had a amazing time at Henley piazza fantastic food not much dearer than mcdonalds very very clean staff friendly nothing too much trouble and the ice cream is to die for well worth the visit

Felice and Fabio came over with a fantastic icecream van and served the guests at My wedding at the crazy bear Stadhampton. What a lovely difference it made. The guests were wowed. It added a great twist to a great day Thanks to Francas icecream. I highly recommend them.

Joe was friendly and had a queue at his van throughout the whole afternoon! I can recommend the ice cream with flake!
