Most likely the BEST steak I have eaten. Went here for the first time last Friday with some friends, was a bit quiet to start with but gave us a great opportunity to have a chat with the owner. It very quickly got busy! We ordered our food and all of us were blown away by the quality and flavour. I will definitely be eating back here very soon.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at How's Dining & Wines, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and well taken care of. A special mention must go to the owner, Christopher, who took the time to personally introduce us to their impressive selection of wines. His knowledge and passion for wine were truly impressive. Christopher shared fascinating stories about the vineyard where they source their wines, adding a personal touch to our meal. It was clear that great care and attention go into selecting each bottle, and it really elevated our dining experience. The food was outstanding, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Each dish complemented the wines perfectly, making for a memorable culinary journey. Overall, How's Dining & Wines is a gem that offers not just delicious food and excellent wine, but also a warm and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special dining experience, with the added bonus of learning more about wine from such a knowledgeable owner.

My visit to How's Dining & Wines was truly unforgettable. The restaurant has a charming and elegant atmosphere that sets the perfect tone for a delightful evening. The staff were attentive and friendly, making sure that our needs were met with promptness and care. One of the highlights of the evening was meeting Christopher, the owner. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the wines they offer. Christopher took the time to explain the origins and characteristics of each wine, and his enthusiasm was infectious. It was fascinating to learn about the vineyard where the wines are sourced and the meticulous process that goes into their production. The food was exquisite, with each dish crafted to perfection. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced, clearly prepared with great expertise. The pairing of the wines with the meal was spot on, enhancing the overall dining experience. Overall, How's Dining & Wines offers not only fantastic cuisine but also an educational and enjoyable journey into the world of fine wines. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special place to dine, where the food and wine are complemented by outstanding service and hospitality.

We met with a couple of our friends for lunch at Hof’s. This appears to be a family run business by a lovely & welcoming South African family. Our order: a couple of beers, a glass of Rosé, starters of the Boerewors and Frankfurter, 3 orders of the Potjekos and a Piri Piri chicken. We finished with desserts (the chocolate mousse, a Sacher cake and the Koeksisters). All the food was flavourful and freshly prepared. The chicken has a 45min cook time and is worth the wait (tender and moist). The Potjekos has super soft lamb chunks & veg in a rich stew. The customer service was lovely and we were glad to have visited. The bill was about £40-50/head. Highly recommended.

We went here for dinner on my Birthday hoping it was a good choice of places to eat in Henley but unfortunately we did not enjoy our evening. We found it to be very expensive for very mediocre food and we were very surprised at the high cost of the South African wines !! The place lacked atmosphere…. there were a few people there when we were there but it was very quiet and had no ambience. The staff were ok but certainly did not go out of their way to make you feel welcome. We will not return.

First of all, the owners Sophie and Chris are fantastic hosts that take so much pride in Hof's, their food, their wines, and making sure their guest have a great experience. The food is superb and provide an option that is different from most restaurants in Henley. We came back this time as visitors after living and dining at Hof's regularly when they first opened. We were pleased that the food was still as good, if not better than we remembered. Our favorites: The Zurcher, and if you have an appetite the Eisben which is one of the best I've had. If you like Red Wine go with the Hof's wines, they are always a treat. We look forward to coming back when in Henley.

Made to feel very uncomfortable by the bar man (possibly owner based on other reviews below). Popped in for a quick drink & the aggressive questioning & eye contact about where I came from & where I work made me & the person I was with very uncomfortable. When ordering a g&t he gave me a double when I specifically ordered a single (I was driving) & proceeded to put pepper in it ‘that is the way it is supposed to be drunk’ (it’s not, believe me) He then told me I had so much sadness in my face & that I was too young to be so unhappy & how I needed more love & TLC in my life. I came for a drink not a therapy session. He totally overstepped the mark, I won’t be back.

We came here for a meat feast and boy did we get one! This dish is a masterpiece of culinary preparation and melts in the mouth exuding all the subtle herb and spice flavours infused in the tenderest meat during the long slow cooking process. A generous portion with some to take home, but the dog can salivate in vain!!! We'll be back

First time visiting this quirky bar and restaurant and I was immediately blown away by the top class service and atmosphere. But let's talk about the star of the show.... THE FOOD. We ordered Jacob's Ladder Sunday Roast for three and the portion size was EPIC. The quality and flavours of this food made it one of the best meals I have ever had the pleasure to eat. The beef rib in this dish was so succulent, and soft there was no need for a knife. The vegetables were all cooked to perfection and EVERYTHING tasted immense. Totally blown away by the quality of this food. Do not miss visiting this place, you will not be disappointed.

Hoff's used to be such a nice place, the pub itself cozy and a great location, however I've been served off beer twice here and both times we were met with hostility - the man at the bar is rude and very defensive, both times he's ruined the experience for our friends, there are so many great pubs in Henley but this is falling far below the bar.

Disappointing dinner on Saturday night. We ordered one course and it took nearly 3 hours for dinner. I ordered a rare steak and it came out medium rare. I debated not sending it back as it had taken so long anyway, but when you’re paying for a steak and are also asked how you’d like it cooked it seems unfair to not have it as requested. So, when I pointed out that it was medium rare not rare to the waitress (who I believe is the manager) she stared at the steak inspecting it, essentially questioning me. Then proceeded to ask argue-mentally if I’m sure I’d like it re done and re cooked. She then explained it would take 10 minutes to re do (perhaps that’s why it was over cooked in the first place..) 20/25 minutes later it arrived. What I can say is that the food was amazing. My steak was delicious as were the dishes my friends ordered; the prawns and rack of ribs. Considering we were seated at 7:30 and didn’t finish till about 10pm for one course is pretty poor. We asked another waitress if there was a reason for the delay and she explained that they’re very short staffed. We are all human and understand things may be slow if you’re under staffed but why not explain this at the start and perhaps offer a complimentary drink as a nice gesture? A real shame as the food was so good, if they can resolve staff issues and level of service it would be a great place. There was some live music in the bar as well which was nice. Though just for some feedback in the dining area there was shakers playing loudly plus the live music so was a bit strange, think one or the other would suffice!

Unfortunately we have just had a very expensive and disappointing evening at The Hof in Henley. The food was tasty and well cooked but was not good value for money and the service was appalling. The restaurant was busy as it was a live music night but none of the tables appeared to be getting any food! There were several complaints coming from other tables about waiting times and in total we waited for 2 hours and 20 minutes for main courses. We had to remind the waiter 3 times for our drinks order and when the bill came we were charged for drinks we hadn’t had! When we discussed our disappointment with the manageress, she proceeded to tell us that everyone is struggling at the moment with the cost of living and prices of everything were increasing. It wasn’t particularly helpful and we didn’t really feel as though she cared or wanted to improve our experience. We left feeling disappointed and reluctant to return.

Good food but pricey for what it is and, unfortunately, very poor service. Firstly the good... The food was good, bordering on very good. The Jacob's Ladder beef and Mozambique prawns were great but pricey at £29 each. The veggie board was half a butternut squash with some deep fried broccoli which is punchy for £25. The sausage board was good too but very simple: 3 sausages on a plate with sauerkraut. I think it should have come with some bread but it never arrived. The ingredients appear to be high quality which helps to justify the price but it still feels a bit like bar food (sausages on a board) at restaurant prices. For context, we ate at the Crooked Billet recently (which is head and shoulders above Hof's in terms of quality and service) and the bill came to roughly the same! What really lets Hof's down is the poor service. They were friendly enough (just) but from sitting down to getting the bill everything was so sloooow. It took just shy of 2 hours for us to eat a main course and a dessert. They then added a "discretionary" service charge of about 15% to the bill which I'd have paid, if the service had been worth it which is absolutely wasn't. Also, if it's discretionary, how about giving the customer the opportunity to add it while they're paying the bill vs having to ask to have it removed if they don't want to pay it? Finally, the barman is the only person I've encountered who either doesn't know how or can't be bothered to pour a pint of Guinness properly. Glass under the tap, full on, right to the top in one go as if it were lager. The result was a poor pint with a thin head instead of a lovely creamy one. If he doesn't know how to pour a pint, he shouldn't be behind a bar.

We dropped in early and perhaps caught them at a bad time. Looks promising and I'll give them another try next time I'm in town.

Couldn't get a Sunday Roast in Henley today until we came across Hofs. If like me you have a healthy appetite you won't be disappointed as the meal was a good size and beautifully cooked. Very friendly and helpful staff. We'll worth a visit if...

Great beers and staff. Droewors/biltong also really really good. I got a bag, shared with mates who proceeded to buy their own. Will be back.

Fabulous party here for a friend. Food was absolutely delicious and guests were still talking about the sea bream after the party! Hofs were so helpful and accommodating, giving first class service. The room at the back is light and full of character. Absolutely recommended for a party or any visit and they do their own wine.

Saw the menu online and was intrigued so we booked to go with another couple. Called ahead to say we were running slightly late but they said this was no problem. Received a warm and friendly welcome, went straight to our table and ordered drinks...

I ordered food for collection, and although it was ready in 25 minutes, it was mid at best. The pakoras (4) were soggy and unimpressive by the time they got home. The chicken tikka biryani was also a little disappointing. The rice had almost no flavour. The chicken was tasty but there wasn’t much of it. The vegetable curry was okay, but still uninspired. Overall the biryani was lacking in flavour and underwhelming. I’m a little disappointed, I’ll probably go elsewhere for an Indian takeaway next time.

Turned up for Sunday lunch at 12:30 to be told (after we’d paid for our drinks) that the kitchen is small and we wouldn’t be able to have any food for 2 hours (despite the fact there were hardly more than a handful of people before us). We weren’t the only disappointed customers as two other families left without ordering too. For a place that advertises their food so prominently out front (‘Sunday Lunch 12-4’) they really need to get their act together. Waitress sarcastically chirped “bye!” when we walked out. Useless and rude.

Me and my friend Karen popped in today for a cuppa and just loved it. So much so that we went back in for the second time, a couple of hours later. We were served by 2 lovely sisters, who were so nice and chatty. The atmosphere was that of a friendly, and relaxing place to be. We promised we will be back for some food next time. We highly recommend this cafe.

Service and food was wonderful. Calamari starter and pate very tasty. We only dropped in for a light bite and drink. Have eaten there before.
