The Little Angel in Wokingham

I went here for dinner for a work social. The food was absolutely amazing, probably the best steak and steak sauce I’ve ever had. One of my colleagues has the pork belly and let me try some - absolutely delicious, it literally melted in my mouth. Beautiful restaurant, great food and friendly service. Absolutely recommend!

Wow - what a great pub! This was our first ever visit after driving passed a million times - it was brilliant - the food was exceptional - thanks to the chef Robbie - who came out especially to see how our anniversary meal was - all of the staff were really helpful with a good range of beers and wines on offer. Will certainly be back. Thanks team Little Angel

Went for Sunday lunch with friends at 1pm a really lacklustre experience. Not busy at all which should have been the first warning sign. Very average food and service at high prices for a Sunday roast so will not be returning. The whole restaurant was absolutely freezing and not very welcoming. Really disappointed as had read reviews which made it sound really fantastic.

We ate here on Sunday 15th, drifting in at about 12:15. They were booked 'solid', but easily fitted us in as we were so early. Let's get the negatives over with first. From the outside, the pub looked like a small, dingy traditional English Victorian ale house. I would suggest that the windows could do with a good clean; they are pretty filthy. We weren't even sure the place was open. I would also concur that the music is on the noisy side. Granted, there were few customers in at the time we ate. The music volume might seem less intrusive with the place packed. Finally, I would suggest that the owners make it clear on the outside menus that the Sunday menu is different to the usual menu. Or simply put the Sunday menu on the outside. Now to the positives. This pub is like the Tardis. Get inside and the whole place opens up into a very large, very spacious and reasonably airy space to dine. Tables were not too close together - we ate in the conservatory section. Toilets were clean and functional - we rate establishments on their toilet facilities. As for the food - WOW is all we can say. I had the roast chicken, whilst my old lady had the Haddock. Portion sizes were, to our minds, generous; we left the restaurant full, but could have had more e.g. pudding. Which is as it should be. The majority of portion sizes in this country are excessive. The meals came with roast potato, and a tiny assortment of vegetables. Mine came with one Yorkshire pud, one pig in blanket (over cooked - hence 4 stars), one golf ball sized sage stuffing (which was delicious). However, two side dishes were also served; as small bowl of vegetables and another of cauliflower cheese. The former were delicately cooked, soft without being over cooked. The cauliflower cheese was stunning; so full of flavour. I would suggest that the owners should make it clear what the meals came with to avoid confusion. We weren't sure what veg the mains came with, so were pleasantly surprised with what came. Flavour wise, excellent. Always difficult to accommodate all tastes. If you find the food a little lacking in taste, then add salt and pepper to taste. As for cost of food. Looking around at the other pubs and restaurants in the 'expensive' Henley on Thames, this was competitively priced. You can find cheaper, but only marginally so. The staff were polite, attentive and behaved like proper waiting staff; professional, discrete, watching how customers were eating. Of course, the place was not full while we ate. However, it was filling rapidly as we left over an hour after arriving.

Been before and it was fabulous. Just taken family for Sunday lunch and disappointed. We all had the beef that was cut as thick as steak and was tasty but too tough and hard to cut. The veg was bland. Staff were good but don’t think we’re going to return. Shame.

We came for a Sunday lunchtime which has it's own menu (wasn't listed online). Very expensive for what it is. You're paying mainly for the meat of the Sunday roast which was lovely and the roast potatoes were great, but the rest of the meal was lacking a bit. The vegetables didn't have any seasoning and was presented in the middle of the table in a bowl for 7 people. For vegetarian, they only have one choice, and being a Sunday, the only other option they could offer was basically just vegetables. When I made the booking I didn't realise it would be so limited. (Aparently the have a specific chef just for Sunday roasts).

Last minute booking for dinner before the theatre. Food was amazing - service helpful with menu suggestions due to dietary issues and made adjustments without hassle. As time a problem this was taken into account overall a very professional yet relaxed evening. We shall return very soon.

Although its a nice place, today we found the service slow and the food somewhat bland. Many items of food and drink from the menu were nit available. Frozen veg is not acceptable either. Food was stupidly loud too.

Last minute booking at this beautiful pub, not sure why we've not been before. Gorgeous Argentinian Malbec with our steak suppers, very attentive staff, great location with lots of parking - we will definitely be back!

Design, style, good food... This place has all of this, plus the canny added benefit of free parking 'this side of the often jammed bridge'. Service from everyone was great - ‘on it', responsive, energised. But on reflection, everything too felt a bit like a very well oiled machine. Receiving our 'roasts' just minutes after ordering them, certainly suggested 'efficiency' trumping anything more 'personal' & relaxed. But nothing can take away from the general quality of food and the dining environment. Outside, the Terrace appeared 'buzzy' on a bright Summer's day. £24 for pork loin + veg = reasonable value in the context of the 'positives' mentioned. £9.50 however for an embarrassingly small sized portion of Tiramisu was not on. And as others have commented, there tasted to be nothing home made about this dessert ; watery & forgettable.

Fantastic lunch. We were a huge group of 12 adults and 12 kids and they reserved a large table out on the covered terrace. Jake was so helpful before we arrived and we pre-ordered mains which just made the whole experience much less stressful. Roast dinners were all excellent and everyone tucked into pudding. Ellie was so lovely, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely pub, great staff, highly recommend 👏🏼

Lovely Little Angel, nice service, nice atmosphere...

Friendly team. Could not fault the buffet at all.

If you fancy a good meal and good service, this is the place to go.

We don't know the name of the lovely lady who served us on Thursday from 4-5pm but she may be this pub's greatest asset. Truly great service from a truly decent human being. She even ran after us in the carpark to deliver something we left behind! Love that our kids and dogs were so warmly welcomed too. Super nice atmosphere.

Excellent food, great service! Though they were closed, the Chef made sure that we enjoyed really good food, and we were well taken care of by the wonderful lady who took our orders and made us feel welcome! Ample free parking for diners!

Lovely pub, welcoming friendly staff and delicious food. The kids loved it as well for a pub lunch.

Not the best visit. Our waitress was lovely and the best part of the visit. However, the food let it down. At £19, the steak sandwich was awful. The ciabatta was rock hard and dry although the chips were good. Our choc fondant dessert didn’t arrive for half an hour despite twice asking for it. When it did, it was dry and stodgy. £80 for lunch I expect better

Plusses + attentive, friendly service for our party of 4, we had good 'light' (good portion sized) lunches based on starters and sides from the main menu + one main from the Bar menu and drinks. Minus - music too loud throughout the pub so we ate outside and got the music switched off in our area. Very minor quibble some plates / bowls a bit small, we should have asked for plates.

Spent the whole afternoon here on Sunday and the team were amazing! Good drinks, good service and good food....what more could you want? Thanks team!!!!

Small portions of overpriced and undercooked food.

Great food and service - and very convenient location if you're visiting the regatta. Highly reccomended

We booked the outside terrace for a wedding party in late June. Sam and the team were fantastic in accommodating our needs, making things feel really easy and comfortable. Service from the whole team was great, the live music was beautiful and we all enjoyed ourselves so much ☺️ thank you!

Popped in just on passing,so glad we did. Made to feel very welcome,excellent atmosphere,lovely staff a very happy experience 😊

We had a marvellous time here on Thursday afternoon. My husband joined me later for a late lunch around 4.30pm. The staff were so friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was calm. The interior deco is just so pretty. I enjoyed the peaceful pub garden until my husband later. We had the delicious burgers and appreciate the care that went into our dishes. Flavours were good! The homade bread they have was superb! Made fresh on site. We had a couple extra slices thank you! I imagine having your special party here would be so charming! Over all we had a wonderful experience and we were in good hands! Thank you to the bar staff, waiting staff, and chefs. Loved it.

Vicki hurigt et bord og valgte forskellige retter. Vi ønskede kun en hovedret hver. Maden kom hurigt og prisen svarede fint til kvaliteten. Vi sad fint og kikkede ud over Themsen og der var ikke overfyldt. Servitricen var meget aktiv og spurgte flere gange om alt var som det skulle være. Da vi skulle tale gav vi 100 pund i kontanter og vi blev da spurgt 2 gange ,om vi forventede alle penge tilbage. Da regningen var ca.84 pund tænkte vi ikke at det var rimeligt med 16.pund i drikkepenge. Vi blev ærlig talt så irreterede at vi gik uden at give drikkepenge. Dårlig stil synes vi.

Dropped by The Little Angel for lunch and was blown away by the loaded chili hot dog pint—the ideal combo for watching the Euros! Kudos to Chef Robbie and the team. This pub is truly Henley's hidden gem.

Advertised as a smokehouse but no smoked flavour in the food. Had better tasting burgers (beef and veggie) for less at other places. Over £70 for 2 starters, 2 mediocre burgers and 2 drinks! The veggie burger was new on the menu and after finishing I realised that it was missing some elements so I mentioned this to the staff. Their response, 'thanks for letting us know, we will make sure it's better for the next customer'. I should have asked directly, but I would have expected that they would offer to take some money off the bill for not giving me what I paid for... I was surprised to see the place so empty on a Friday night but now I understand why!

The service was charming. However the menu was limited, would not go again because I chose the only one item I should want. It's a shame, because it's a good location with parking and a good interior, with a small garden.

Lovely food, great service from friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. As a non-meat eater I sometimes feel like the veggie options are poorly thought out. Not so at The Little Angel! The veggie options were delicious, my favourite being the corn ribs. Also, the staff were exceptionally good with our dogs, which always goes down well. We’ll be back soon.

A great pub with delicious food and nice friendly service 👍😋

Fantastic experience, A wonderful welcome from Matt. Perfectly cooked steaks and wonderful live music……………………….. .

The environment is very pleasant and the staff is very efficient.

Service was good. The only parking available was down the road. We had the roast dinner which was average at best. The roast potatoes were inedible. Nice conservatory.

This was a great place for lunch. Solid food, even a great burger, which is tough to find in the UK. Short walk to town. Great service. Good beer.

Came here for a boys lunch. Particularly enjoyed sitting on their comfortable sofas AFTER lunch putting the world to rights! Nothing was too much trouble. Very friendly service.

A fantastic restaurant and delicious food. Spacious and chilled atmosphere. Service is excellent. Lovely outdoor space. The Caesar salad was the only disappointment-£12 for a small bowl with a few tiny chicken chunks, 4 croutons and not enough dressing. Even the waitress said that it had been mentioned before. Not even a starter portion! The complementary bread is outstanding. Definitely worth a visit.

Positives: great decor, good ambience. Friendly staff. Negatives: Underwhelmed by the food given the relatively high cost. Way too salty (especially the coleslaw). Extremely dry chicken burger. Burned burger buns (completely black) - we asked for new buns but the replacements were just as burnt. And generally, there wasn't a single dish which was 'amazing'.

We stopped for a quick coffee not realising it was before they were open. The manager smiled sent us around to the front door and let us in. The coffee was great and the service friendly. We took a look round the premises. There is a beautiful conservatory which looked the perfect place for a celebration The Little Angel is just the other side of the river from the main street and well worth a stroll across the bridge.

We went here for a birthday lunch. The decor is beautiful and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. But I can only describe the lunch menu as weird. We had to settle for the fish and chips, which was very nice but not really what you go out to lunch for.

Arrived for Sunday lunch , promptly brought to table and given menus then waited literally 15-20 mins eventually having to get up and ask to place order, as no one was forthcoming to take orders. Food arrived , Chicken and beef - both tasty Vegetables consisted of a bowl literally full of swede! When mains finished again had the plates left on table for another 15-20 mins before being cleared . Service was awful Other customers arrived and left having being served after us yet received food a long time before we had and again had to ask for the bill after waiting ages! Not returning in a hurry ! Shame as it’s a nice pub!

Great gastro pub. Food was lovely, really dog friendly. Service was slow, but fine if you don't mind waiting. Nice selection of beers (mostly Brakspears)

Although the place was lovely, there was a very limited menu, and the food was way overpriced in my opinion. We had fish and chips and a smashed burger,which was pretty average. I had half a pint of cider and my husband had 2 small bottles of peroni. The bill was a staggering £68. Unfortunately we will certainly not come here again.

We had a very enjoyable lunch to celebrate a family birthday. The menu is limited but majority of the food was very good. A little over done naan, crisp in places but otherwise very pleased. The staff were great, very efficient, obliging & friendly, couldn’t do enough for us, including a free glass of fizz for the ‘birthday boy’ & water for the dog! Won’t hesitate to return.

Booked a family Easter Sunday lunch for 1pm. I checked beforehand that lamb was being served. When we placed our order, around 1.20pm, they had sold out of lamb! The lovely waitress offered to ask the chef if there were any leftover pieces for us to at least taste - it seemed there were - so we had a plate of little end bits of lamb in gravy for the table with, for some reason, an extra Yorkshire pudding. We each had a couple of mouthfuls and it was gorgeous. Extra disappointing. We ordered roast beef (tough) and pork (nice). Vegetables (unlimited) and potatoes were good. Indeed the pumpkin soup starter was very good too. When the bill arrived, I queried a random entry of £5. It appears that we were charged for the little bits of lamb to taste!! Although the service we received was excellent, we shall not be returning.

Poor service Disappointed with the lack of attention. No one checked to see if our food was ok No offer of dessert or coffee No menus given No offer of a wine list Our mains plates left in front of us for far too long Food was nice thankfully But 12.5% service has got to be over the top for the level of service we had Pity as we had high hopes and left thinking we won't return even though the food was good

Came for lunch on Easter Sunday after a dog walk. We were told at 13:20 they had no lamb left. We would’ve understood if it was 3pm but an hour and 20 minutes after the start of lunchtime service was a bit ridiculous. The starters were delicious, a tad over priced. They ranged between £9.50-£10. The beef was mediocre. Very very fatty and was not pink like we were told. We found it to be extremely over priced for the quality of food. However, that being said, we wouldn’t mind coming again to try an evening menu as the starters were absolutely delicious. Staff were great and very, very dog friendly!

Wonderful home feeling with good food and a very relaxed atmosphere.

Wonderful Sunday lunch. Great location, delightful food and fabulous service. Couldn’t recommend higher!

Wonderful Sunday lunch. Great location, convenient parking, delightful food and fabulous service. Couldn’t recommend higher!

We visited for lunch in the week and everything was excellent, dog friendly aswell.

Blown away by the food, highly recommend.

First visit for an early Saturday supper. We had a drink in the bar first and it was nice to see it's dog friendly. It took quite a while to be served though. We ate in the Conservatory which is very nice. The menu is small but different and very tasty. We had two starters mushroom and beetroot based which were delicious followed by the market fish. Service was excellent.

Amazing food and really lovely service, and not to be dramatic but the cabbage is the best on earth

We booked last minute on Saturday 3rd Feb for 5 people and they were very accommodating. The waiter was amazing and very helpful very impressed . The food was really lovely and would thoroughly recommend this restaurant. Definitely would visit again when up in Henley .

Super friendly, really helpful staff (especially Giogle), good beer selection, and very accommodating for dogs and additional requests.

This is my absolute favourite restaurant in Henley. The food is always fantastic, cooked by an amazing chef and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! Bar and table staff are also great, always efficient, happy and polite. Can’t wait to return and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Henley.

Where to start, the most delicious food I have had in ages. My soup was divine, every mouthful was an explosion of flavours. Main course, even better and the desert, top it all off. Compliment to the chefs we’ll be back !!

Long time since I visited this restaurant. I enjoyed a very nice birthday lunch today with my family. Nice refurbishment - very good staff and food

Amazing food and great service. Our group had a selection of diverse main dishes and each was excellent and a had a unique twist. Oh.. and the (complimentary) treacle bread is divine. Planning a return trip ASAP!

Made a reservation here for New Year’s Day and was very impressed with the food. Much fancier than we thought and very delicious. Not the cheapest but that was expected. A nice treat for a special occasion with some drinks.

Most amazing venison, beautiful setting. Alex was such a welcoming and fun host !

Very nice stop on a round walk near Henley.

Lovely food, but the whole menu was a bit too 'gastro' for my personal pub dining preference. Might have been a Christmas menu.

Very nice setting and so welcoming on arrival. They couldn’t do enough for us. The French manager really knows how to look after the guests, this flows through the other staff as they all have the same attentive nature. The food was plentiful and very nice. The fishcake starter was lovely, and I don’t even like fish as a rule! I tried some of my wife’s and was pleasantly surprised.

Came back to the little angel with great expectations after a faultless meal and service a few months ago. Left pretty disappointed, food really underwhelming. Couldn't eat the chips as swimming in salt. Returned two deserts. Wine plonked down on the table unopened and we were left to open it and pour. Had to keep getting up to locate the staff to order drinks when we first sat down, then again to chase the food. Food took quite a while. Come on Little Angel !! You are better than this !

Really lovely restaurant, had a Christmas meal there - this is our second year and it's been great both times! Excellent service and excellent food too!

What a find this gem of a pub is...thank you so much to Rhys for looking after us so well...We will be back as soon as we can!!

outstanding lunch in their orangery food was very good - high gastropub - venison chilli, mushroom parfait, whiting and chips all excellent lovely service from Sam

Delicious food, and very polite and friendly staff.

Absolutely delicious lunch today. Everything tasted amazing from the complimentary homemade soda bread and whipped butter through the yummy mains to the coffee. Excellent service from the front of house team led by Alex - nothing was too much trouble and they gave us every care and attention. Recommend you go here soon before word gets out and they are completely packed.

Visited on a Wednesday night with a colleague and was warmly greeted by friendly staff who found us a table in the dining area. It wasn’t busy so service was prompt. The food was pretty good and I liked the posh spin on fish and chips, although portion size could have been a bit bigger. Overall pleasant experience here and would recommend.

Excellent food, lovely ambience 👍

Great food and atmosphere. Staff were very helpful and good fun. Good to see the new management making some positive changes, it's a bit punchy on the price side but overall a gods night out.

Rather fabulous experience and beautifully located so close to the town. Dropped in unexpectedly after a dog walk and a local exploratory trip on a whim. Charming service and welcome. Dogs allowed inside and out including water bowls. Wonderful ale, nice setting, young enthusiastic service with a smile. The food was beautifully cooked and the beef Sunday roast a delight. Chose to dine at the leather sofa area but plenty of free formal tables available. They have this place spot on. Well done, you deserve to be very successful.

As a result of The Bull in Henley having plumbing problems, we ended up here. I really enjoyed my mushroom parfait starter which was followed by lamb (very small portion) with cauliflower and a delicious sauce. It became very busy and the combination of a screaming baby, dogs barking and the high volume of chatter made the visit very unpleasant. It was impossible for us to hear what the other was saying, and it was headache making. Such a shame as the dining area is very attractive, but with stone/tile floors, no tablecloths etc. the noise is amplified

Great pub with nice food. Service was excellent and friendly. The portions were really small and felt expensive at c£23 for chicken. Left feeling hungry despite two courses (£65 per person). Wouldn’t go back as couldn’t justify the cost for something that was ok but not great.

Popped in for a pint after a walk. Nice place although was annoying they wouldn’t server us bowls of chips in the bar… its 5m from the restaurant and we had money… o well

We had dinner here recently and the ambience and service was excellent - wine choices also good and parking was no problem at all. I do feel that the approach to food needs rethinking - it’s quite a small menu for such a big pub and needs more variation on the main course choices IMO. The pork was great and really well cooked but the overall dish was dry and could have done with more of a sauce and cooking the broccoli slightly longer. Burger was good but probably would have benefitted from a bit more presentation for the price! Starters were expensive and the ox cheek was quite greasy and chorizo over cooked. We’ve popped in for drinks and some bar snacks before which were great so maybe just an off day. They’ve got the all the ingredients for a fantastic restaurant just more variety would help massively

Really nice place..Great food and nice atmosphere

We only ate lunch there, not stayed. Food was good. Service was friendly and helpful, although a little slow when the place was full. We stayed later than most and weren't chased out. We did take the last place in the car park, so I'd be wary of arranging a meeting of a lot of people at a busy time. Convenient (if you're coming from the right direction) location at the edge of Henley.

Over priced poor food choices megre portions will not return

Brilliant little find service and food perfect every member of staff was polite and happy can not recommend this place effort!

Very disappointing meal. Starter ok, but how do you get a burger wrong???? It was pretty inedible. The frangipane tart was indescript and tasted of nothing. Again, it is inedible. As we were guests, it would have been churlish to complain but won't be returning any time soon.

Went for Sunday lunch which was lovely staff are very pleasant and welcoming you can order extra veg at no cost was a great experience will gladly be going back

Wonderful service. Great food and great atmosphere. The waiter and the chef were so helpful and nothing was too much. Thankyou so much!! Will be recommending. !!

Charming place with very pleasant staff. The food was very good, except for the Welsh Rarebit, which was basically a piece of soggy toast with cheese on top. Excellent pulled pork, corn ribs and fish. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon in idyllic surroundings.

Sunday lunch with the family and our dog. Great choice. Really dog friendly. Good food and generous portions. Alex was a great host. Made a real fuss of us. Highly recommended. Fantastic all round.

Such good service, really accommodating

Great service, lovely food and a beautiful setting. Overall a wonderful pub. Alex and the team were a joy, get patient with the five kids in our party, and very friendly and attentive. We felt like it was our local even though it was the first time we've been. We'll be going back. :-)

We came in for a family roast with sla dog and are host Alex was excellent. He got us a table in a private booth where we could relax with the dog. The food was lovely and I a beautiful area.

Friendly and helpful staff. Had fish and chips which I found a bit greasy and on the small side compared to other places I've eaten. My daughter really enjoyed her burger.

Popped in without reservation booking to free car park. Lovely looking pub - we were sat in the conservatory. Excellent food and service - the free warm flavoured bread and whipped butter was lovely. We shared a starter (mushroom pate and sourdough), then had fish and chips - the hugest real chips ever - just perfect with no extraneous batter. Gorgeous. Glass of lovely house white and shandy and two coffees. All for £70-ish inc service. Result! Absolutely too stuffed for pud. Fully recommend.

We had a most wonderful lunch at the Little Angel today. The place is immaculately appointed and beautiful. The menu offers unique options for every palate. We ordered the pea and mint soup and mushroom pate as starters and all four of us gave them five stars. We all ordered the fish of the day which became a traditional fish and chips plate with the best fried fish I've ever had. Even locals we were visiting said the fish was exceptional! Great options for beers and wines by glass or bottle. We failed to make it to dessert but the offerings were super tempting! The staff is great, music fantastic, and feel is just good - a place you want to make your go-to! Wish we could go again before we head home, but it's definitely flagged the next time we are back. Be sure to get their house made mayonnaise. Frankly I wasn't expecting to be wowed, but I was. Enjoy!

Good selection of cask ales , and plenty of seating friendly staff .

We have been coming here for drinks and casual meals for 20 years, on and off. In that time it has ranged from the best run pub in Berkshire to dreadful. The current incarnation is …well…not the worst. Thats the best I can say, really. Since the latest landlord moved in there hasn’t been so much as a lick of paint and it is sorely needed, esp in the ladies loos. There doesnt seem to be much pride in the place, tables uncleared, cushions unplumped from the night before, toilet roll trailing around the loos, even just after opening. Get some decent cleaners. But my biggest gripe is, there are just NO bar snacks. Nothing whatsoever. How can you call yourself a pub, how can you sell alcohol with nothing to eat? Yes I know there is a restaurant attached but if I just want a pint or an (excellent, by the way) gin and tonic? Are we supposed to bring our own peanuts?

The food is absolutely fantastic. When was the last time you went to a restaurant that made their own mayonnaise? Little things like this make a big difference. Service is top notch. Great location. My new favourite pub by a large margin.

One of the pubs on the beer trail. Like all the pubs in Henley great beer

Lovely evening out with our family. Excellent food and warm and welcoming service. Highly recommended.
