We celebrated our Golden Wedding anniversary at the Flower Pot Hotel with our three adult daughters. What a fantastic choice for our special celebration! Will and the team made us feel very welcome and relaxed. Our rooms were furnished to a high standard and very comfortable. The dinner menu provided ample choice for us all and the food was freshly prepared and delicious. We enjoyed drinks and bbq in the pub garden and a 10 m-minute stroll took us to the banks of the River Thames and the start of a lovely walk. Two nights here allowed us to explore nearby Henley and Marlow. We loved it all.

We walked to the pub which is in a good location for walkers. On this occasion we only wanted tea and cakes. The tea was ordered but no tea bag’s were put in the pot just hot water. No milk bought out. Cake was overpriced and not even good. We had to keep asking for basic things that should have been served with what we’ve ordered. Customer service was poor and no apology given when it was addressed. Shame as we came a few months ago in the summer and was fine but this was enough to for us not to come back unfortunately.

Having regularly visited Hambledon over the years we thoroughly enjoyed the great walks and finishing off with a pub lunch at the Stag & Huntsman ,The last visit ending at the Stag & H was so disappointing we knew we would have to find an alternative-we found it at the Flower Pot -great welcome ,great beer , great food would thoroughly recommend

Visited for drinks really pretty setting. However very poor customer service. Bar attendants did not say hello or welcome which is the norm. We sat at the bar and they walked past around 3 times with no acknowledgement that they would serve in a moment despite only one other customer at the bar who had been served. Disappointing.

A great looking and feeling pub. I’d called ahead a day before to check that they had gluten free options as a friend is very sensitive, she becomes very ill. I was assured there were options. We came and ate. She’s been ill for 2 weeks now. It’s not acceptable to say that somethings gluten free when it isn’t.

It’s about 15 years since I’ve been to the Flower Pot and it’s now much smarter, but still as lovely. We had lunch on a Saturday in the Garden Bar. Food was good, my friends said it was a good choice of pub. I had a tasty pulled pork burger, stuffed with a slice of cheese, pickles etc and the most excellent fat chips on the side. The pub is away from the main road, so you’d have to know that it’s there. I liked the atmosphere. It was gastropub type food and service, with tables bookable, but still had a group of local regulars drinking pints at the bar and watching the rugby. Comments here that service was slow. Our food arrived promptly and we were happy not to have the bill presented as soon as we’d finished. Lots of chatting to be done and nice not to be hurried out. No service charge on the bill which is very unusual now. Waiter seemed happy with the tip we added.

Faced with our first free weekend in a while, we booked the Flower Pot for Saturday afternoon strolling by the river followed by supper. We dropped the car in the big car park, checked in and walked to Henley along one of the most picturesque stretches of the Thames. Being England in November, we got caught in heavy rain and returned as drowned rats. Hung our wet coats by the roaring fire and settled in to watch the rugby. Lunch was super busy but when we came down (changed into dry clothes after great hot showers) the evening was quieter with a few locals and people staying or just in to eat. Our food was fantastic; lots of big prawns in the seafood linguine and my cheeseburger burger with pulled pork was epic. Great advice on the wine choice of a decent but not overly expensive Rioja. The cask ale is expertly kept and perfectly served. After a great night’s sleep we only had space for the continental breakfast, washed down with excellent coffee. Really big shout out to Will and the team who were fantastic hosts from start to finish. A absolute gem tucked in by the river. Love all the fishes. Tim & Charlotte 🙂🙂

A Hidden Gem Near the Thames – The Flowerpot at Aston Ferry I've visited The Flowerpot several times now, and it never disappoints. The location, just a short walk from the Thames, gives it a wonderful charm that feels like a peaceful retreat close to the river. The service is outstanding—staff are consistently warm, attentive, and make you feel right at home. The food is exceptional, with a varied menu that offers something for everyone. Every dish I’ve tried has been fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. If you're looking for a pub that combines a beautiful setting with amazing food and top-notch service, The Flowerpot is definitely worth a visit!

This was our fifth visit since it has been upgraded by the new management. Food is lovely, but when the sun shines, the service and length to wait for food to arrive is poor! Arrived at 1.30 pm for a booking in the restaurant and waited until 3.00 for starters and mains at 4.00. Everyone was waiting for food in the restaurant for orders, as they seem they cannot cope with the restaurant, bar and then the added garden orders when the sun shines. It is disappointing that this has not improved since our last visit in June. The staff are good and keep apologising but when you have had a nice walk with children, they are hungry.

We have visited this place for years, that is before and after the refurbishment. It is true that the quirky and eccentric old place has gone which is a pity, but its been replaced by a venue that really takes quality as its main aim and for us, it reached it today. My only little grumble was despite the day being unseasonably mild outside, it was quite chilly in the restaurant (although a beautiful log fire purred away in the bar) For those who grumble about waiting for the food (a real issue in a limited such hour), maybe go and get a Big Mac. But I had time and prefer fresh quality food so didn't mind waiting

Nothing special, but really got to me that they are that snooty that they did not even have the decency to respond to a personal job application. Well if you like that sort of snobbery this is right up your street. EDIT: the thing is YOU had no decency, so as is indicated by my review here is that this hotel Is ran by stuck up snobs. In 2024 most employers have decent enough standards to show politeness and respect to future employees and staff as they are your source of income. YOU DON’T, so if you are a future customer that cares about the way hotels treat their staff and employees the message is clear and simple from your obnoxious response: DO NOT STAY OR DINE IN THIS PLACE AS THEIR ATTITUDES TOWARDS STAFF ARE DISGUSTING.

Stunning little find in Henley on Thames, booked the Flowerpot Hotel for a 2 night stay for a charity walk. However, due to an injury I decided to spending the weekend exploring Henley. The hotel is hidden on a very narrow road but it’s nice to be away from the main centre, and yet still close enough to town with a 9 minute drive. The drive to the hotel was a little surreal The rooms were stunning, very modern and clean as was the pub. We had a warm Welcome on arrival, the hotel was cosy and rooms were nicely furnished and very comfortable. Plenty of parking for guests and visitors We had the option of having breakfast, lunch and dinner in the pub, we had breakfast on the first day and bar snacks on our final evening stay. The open fire is lovely, the bar and dining area is spacious with plenty of outside seating during the summer weather. I will be visiting again next year and plan to stay at this hotel.

Lovely pub just off the beaten track. Very large beer garden and there is an overflow car park although it's not clearly marked. If the front car park is full trim left at the pub and immediately turn right....it looks like a private drive 30 meters but turn in to it and the overflow parking is on the right on a grassed area. We didn't eat but the food looked and smelt amazing. A great find and we only spotted it because of a road sigh on the main road pointing do the lane saying "public house" so look out for it

I stumbled upon this gem just a 15-minute walk from Hambleton Lock while out by the river. I stopped in for a quick pint and to see if it would be a good spot for a family visit, and I was thoroughly impressed. The ambiance exuded warmth and friendliness, with a cozy fire adding to the inviting atmosphere. The garden is truly delightful; I enjoyed my Guinness there, soaking in the lovely surroundings. Overall, it’s a great place with a wonderful vibe. I’ll definitely be returning soon for a family meal! I would add it's on the expensive side.

What a lovely Pub and gardens. This Pub is very friendly friendly and has a beautiful beer garden .In the garden they have created a great barbecue area and a lovely space for you to eat your meal. The only downside is the cost of the food which is extortionate. I have no doubt the owners will say the prices are commensurate with local pubs but they are not. It’s a real shame because as I sat in the garden admiring the view all I heard people talk about was how expensive it was which for me and my family spoilt the occasion .the staff were really friendly and when our food did arrive, I have to admit it did taste nice, but it is a big but the cost spoilt day day

Sadly the restaurant did not live up to expectations. The refurb is lovely and the ambiance good. Table booked at 19.00 and u in t was not till after 20.00 that our food arrived. The staff were sensitive to us being let down. Despite this they brought us plates ready for our main course - they went cold before our food arrived - but were replaced, We were upsold broccoli but thus came with a horrible spiced sauce. Lovely location, great ne unit did not deliver on this occasion. Pricey for what you get delivered.

Man behind the bbq quite aggressively grabbed the ticket and said we wouldn’t be getting any food then and told another customer to go away. Eventually found our ticket with our correct order no apology. Bit blown away if it alright to talk to customers who are trying to rectify a fault by the staff. Very odd confrontational behaviour

The only reason for giving two stars and not one was because the staff member, Will, saved the day. Having booked a table more than a week before, we arrived at the restaurant to find that our booking had erroneously been booked by the restaurant for a week later (I have emails confirming this). Rather than trying to make a plan, Sasha (one of the most pathetic front-of-house individuals I've ever encountered) simply shrugged his shoulders. No apologies or attempts to find a solution, despite the fact that we were the first patrons to arrive. Even when HE pulled up my emails, with the Flower Pot's confirmation that the booking had been made, no apology or anything more than a shrug of his shoulders. Will (another staff member) arrived and immediately apologised when he saw that this was a Flower Pot mistake. He really tried to find a solution. And just the acknowledgement that there was a problem was a relief. My advice - Dismiss Sasha immediately as he's a liability to The Flower Pot! No customer-facing skills at all! Thank you Will for finding an amicable solution.

The pub by which all others will be judged. I'd run past this place on the Thames Path Ultra some years ago and thought what a charming place it looked. I finally made an excuse to book lunch as part of the beautiful National Trust Hambledon Lock to Henley River walk. The pub is beautiful: charming without being kitsche or 'Olde Worlde' cliche. The menu is short enough to allow the kitchen to focus on quality, but long enough to cater for all tastes, food intolerances and preferences. We skipped starters and went right to mains, having Cornish sea bass with a side salad and chips and a Nicoise salad. Each were exceptional, with my Nicoise's tuna steak still pink on the inside, beans and potatoes perfect done and eggs beautifully soft boiled. The localish Brakespeaks Gravity Drop was excellent and the impressive Dog Menu a first for me. In skipping the starters we'd made a conscious decision to leave room for puddings, which were were also exceptional. The warm flour-free brownie, with mandarin wedges, a reduced mandarin sauce and and vanilla ice cream was excellent. Even better was the playful and creative carrot cake, which came in a flowerpot with edible flowers, cinnamon infused baby carrots, and layers of sweetened marscarpone and gently spiced carrot cake. The garden was lovely and dog-friendly, the loos spotless and the service superb. In summary, flawless execution by a superb team. Expect London prices in these Shires, but the quality and value were well worth it.

I was really looking forward to celebrating my 70th birthday with family in August. We first booked the meal last December. We have confirmed the booking several times, including whilst we were there enjoying a meal a couple of weeks ago. We were asked to pre-order our meal choices 2 weeks beforehand as there were to be 19 of us, which we duly tried to do today. A manager has just phoned my wife telling her that they couldn't carry out the booking....making all sorts of excuses, including the fact that we hadn't made a deposit, for which we had never been asked. It was almost as if they were blaming us for them having to cancel. Very unsatisfactory. The Flower Pot used to be our favourite and goto eatery when we were in this area. NOT ANYMORE.

One of the worst luncheon experiences I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing, propagated by an incredibly rude staff that refused any form of accommodation. I am a local to the area and with my son visiting we wanted to share a Sunday roast. On arrival, there was a plethora of free tables; however, the "manager", Alexander, denied us seating in a very hostile manner, instead placing us on a small metallic table not suitable for a party of 3. For the remained of our stay, not only did all the tables remain free of occupation but we were also treated with extreme disrespect from all staff members, reflective of their neglectful disposition towards my family during our meal. One of the waitresses slammed the food on our table and the rest refused to even speak with us until we were forced to go to the bar to complain... The food was mediocre and the location was good, though for all those intending on visiting for a family meal please heed this warning of the Flower Pot's egregious service toward paying customers !

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience at this pub. Despite their nice beer garden, I was not allowed to order from the menu after securing a table simply because I did not have a reservation. This policy is utterly ridiculous and ruined what could have been a pleasant visit. The staff were unhelpful and inflexible, showing no consideration for walk-in customers. It's a shame that such a nice setting is marred by such poor service. Avoid this place if you don't want your day ruined by arbitrary rules and unfriendly staff.

Stopped in for a drink after a walk. The place has just been refurbished and is an excellent standard.... friendly barman and good service. The restaurant looked particularly inviting. We are certainly going to give it a try when the opportunity arises.

Great pub garden however they didn't serve food outside which was disappointing and Pimm's only had a slice of lime.

Just come back from The Flower Pot, the new outdoor terrace is lovely and the hotel has certainly had a make over - wonderful. The food was lovely, can recommend the cod tacos and flower pot burger. The chips were the best we have all had for a while. If you’re looking for a refreshing new menu in a lovely location …… The staff are very friendly and accommodating

A little gem. The Flower Pot gastro pub/ boutique hotel was our destination for the weekend. The food was delicious and the rooms were perfect with a comfy bed and a gold fitted ensuite! The staff were very hospitable and nothing was too much trouble, so refreshing to experience such wonderful customer service! Well done to all the extremely hard working, friendly staff. The garden had a barbecue and a bar and we had the biggest hotdog we have ever eaten, it was delicious! The view from our room was made more beautiful especially with our little visitor. Thank you again Flower Pot, you made a reunion weekend even more special,😊

Sunny afternoon trip out as hadn't visited for a while. Beautiful new outdoor bar and bbq area with lots of seating. Overflow car park in the field if pub one busy. Restaurant looked very inviting and decor very classy.

Sadly we didn’t stay, but this beautiful place keeps getting better, the outside area has been updated further, it was incredibly busy but the service was absolutely faultless, the menu was just right, and the food and wine absolutely perfect, thank you for an unforgettable lovely afternoon in the sunshine, I’m terribly picky and I couldn’t fault anything! Thanks again and see you soon xx

Terrible service. We arrived at 1.30pm on a Sunday and despite the dining room being empty were told that the kitchen was too busy to take any more orders. However, we could sit outside and buy from the BBQ. Considering we hadn’t made a booking this was disappointing, but fair enough. However, after we bought our drinks we went to order food at the BBQ and were told they’d ‘sold out’…Neither the staff member at the bar or at the BBQ seemed to care that they weren’t organised or communicating and then letting customers down. It’s pretty TT poor management to run out of food so early in the day…I’d recommend booking, but also heard people with bookings that items on the menu had sold out.

Bank holiday weekend, ate and drank outside The chef dropped the tongs on the ground, then put them straight on the rail around the grill Not wearing gloves, he alternated touching raw and cooked food numerous times Not very sensible given the high profile public view! Also, £4.99 ish for a dozen chips!!!!

Nice place to go for a pint after a riverside walk. Everybody else thought so too so it was very busy on a Sunday. Still got seats though in the large garden and even indoors.

Very popular stop for those walking along the Thames. BBQ food in the garden was very nice indeed on a Bank Holiday Sunday afternoon

Firstly, I only wish I had known of your hotel earlier. It is truly charming, authentic and memorable. I was kindly greeted by “Will”. Very proper. Very accommodating. As I was early for my room, he recommended lunch in the fireplace bar area. Warm, inviting and welcoming. He also suggested the Prawn and linguine. Other worldly! So good! After, a short walk to the private Flower Pot hotel boat dock. Swans, ducks and beautiful views. My room was beyond perfect. Great attention to detail! Immaculate. Very “on trend” decorated. High end bedding and soaps. Dinner in the dining room was a fantastic Rib-eye and chips. I will definitely return for a longer stay next time! Highly recommend! 5star!

Came across this pub on a walk from Hurley to Henley, stopped for a pint, stayed for Sunday lunch and were so impressed with the gorgeous sea bass we had that we booked in for a full dinner on our final evening before heading home. That didn't disappoint either, with all 3 courses for both of us bring absolutely delicious. Their chef is a wizard. Really attentive service and a lovely atmosphere topped it off.

Always enjoyable to pay a visit. An unpretentious ’locals’ pub and our most favourite one in Twyford. Can sometimes get overly busy and hard to find a seat, particularly when locals use seats as coat and bag racks, but overall being busy is a good sign! Always look forward to visiting.

I popped in today for the first time & it will be the last. The staff couldn't be bothered to listen to orders properly, with everyone having to repeat themselves. When orders were done, they weren't telling the customer so coffees were just sat waiting. My coffee was awful. It tasted like day old stewed coffee & my bacon bap was stodgey with 1 slice of bacon. For the price I paid I'd have expected more than 1 slice. People may mock it, but give me a Greggs breakfast bacon roll & coffee any day. Half the price & it all tastes fresh.
