The Maltsters Arms in South Oxfordshire

Had a lovely Sunday lunch. Food was excellent. Lovely atmosphere. Dogs were made welcome.

Had a lovely Mother’s Day meal at the maltsters, food was lovely as it always is. It was lovely to see the pub busy again and as usual the staff were so friendly and helpful. We had the Sunday roast and my husband had the pie which he said was delicious. The only difference I noticed was the menu seemed a bit smaller than it used to be and it would of been nice to have had a few more starters to choose from, but apart from that a lovely meal and atmosphere.

Finally made it in after many hikes past it. I'll definitely be back again. The Sunday roast was simply the best I've had in my few years in England. We were a large group of 14, adults, children and dogs coming in from a nice country hike from Henley. All the food came out as it should, children first and then the adults, all within a few minutes of each other which is not always easy for such a large group. I had the mixed roast (lamb, pork, beef) and it was just delicious with the meats still perfectly cooked. The side vegetables were also perfectly seasoned and not overcooked. The staff were also very efficient, friendly and courteous. There's a lovely terrace and garden in the back with many tables. On a sunny day such as today it was a wonderful place to be with family and friends. For the children and the dogs there's plenty of empty fields and the quaint church next door to explore. Don't bother with the pictures showing strange things like the Stormtrooper mannikin as that was under previous owner. Its much more traditional country pub now with lovely traditional decor which is what you expect.

Had the best Sunday lunch for 16 adults and children! Amazing food, service and very happy smiling staff! Highly recommend!

Have just had an excellent Sunday lunch at the Maltsters in Rotherfield Greys. Less than three minutes drive from Grey's Court it is a beautiful pub with a great garden. The roast was excellent. I had the beef which was melt in the mouth. Loads of tasty vegetables and an exceptional Yorkshire pudding. Service was also excellent. Quick and courteous. The pub welcomes dogs and children but it also has a lovely ambience for couples and more grown up groups. Highly recommended.

Just back from a great meal with great service. Best meal out I’ve had in and around Henley in 10 years

Top quality Sunday roast, great service and busy atmosphere. One of the best! One minor niggle, the cutlery has sharp edges, which makes cutting beef a bit painful.

Had a lovely evening out at the charming Maltsters Arms. Called on the day to book a table, the phone was answered immediately by a helpful lady. The staff were very professional, chatty and friendly. We chose the risotto and pie of the day from a superb menu full of choice. The food was excellent and the service exceptional. The whole place, including the washrooms was clean and well presented. Plenty of parking and a warm welcome. We will definitely return and would thoroughly recommend! Possibly the only improvement would be to introduce an online booking facility.

Nice little pub with safe parking. Good for pub food (pricey ) but this is not a great dining experience. Friendly staff. Suitable for families and walkers/cyclists.

I went to The Maltsters for Sunday lunch with my daughters and grand-daughters. The service was so friendly. My four year old grand-daughter decided that she would like her own table (as four-year-olds sometimes do, apparently!) and the staff accommodated her by bringing a little coffee table next to us with a stool for her and a stool for her teddy bear. She had her food at the table and was even provided with paper and crayons. Talk about going above & beyond. very kind. We each had a different dish, for lunch, and agreed that they were all delicious. We will be going back.

Visited the Malsters Arms early Saturday evening on 13th January 2024. The meals and service were amazing! Thank you for a lovely evening out!!

Great pub. We were there for Sunday lunch and both chose the traditional Sunday roast. We loved it. The staff were really friendly and professional and we will be visiting again very soon

We were there on a quiet day so not much atmosphere. However, food and service were good. Very pleasant staff

What a fabulous place. Absolutely beautiful place the staff are fantastic Very helpful. I can't wait to return.

Excellent find a little way out of Henley. Great atmosphere, popular with walkers, but best of all is the food! Extensive menu, catering for all dietary requirements, and also a great and sensibly priced sandwich menu. The ever friendly and very friendly Jordon talked us into the Seafood linguine which, quite honestly, I could come back for every evening! The other winner was the Stroganoff! Thanks Jordon!

Have been to this pub, a few times and has always been lovely, had my daughters 30th birthday meal there on the 24th and it was lovely, everyone enjoyed the food and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Went back again last night with some friends who hadn’t been before and they thought it was great as well. Would highly recommend this pub to anyone when in the Henley area

Very enjoyable evening after the Meccano Gathering

Didn’t get to experience the pub as it was closed at 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon after having checked their website before walking for an hour to get there to find there was no notice to imply why it was closed. Very disappointed. I was going to book an anniversary dinner there for this week, but shall not be bothering to return. In my judgement, not a way to run a business.

Great service, stunning decor and great food. There was nothing I can suggest be improved based on this visit.

This is a lovely place just on the outskirts of Henley. All the food was great and the staff worked hard to keep us happy

Lovely Sunday lunch, all three of us opted for the Steak and Kidney Pie, which was tasty and beautifully cooked; pastry was just right, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. Clearly a chef who knows what he is doing! Add to that very happy and attentive staff, and a reasonable price (£103 for three, including a bottle of wine and service) - has to be a winner.

We went to the Maltsters Arms on a Friday evening with friends. We had booked although it wasn't particularly busy and so this may not have been needed. The service was friendly and the menu extensive with a number of classic dishes which were all home cooked. We had the scotch egg, lamb kofta and whitebait to start with which were all very good (although a bit more dip with the whitebait and kofta would have been good)! We then had the fish & chips, scampi & chips, chicken kyiv and seafood linguine for mains all of which were very good and the chips were home made. Although we were quite full we managed some desserts including the apple & cherry crumble, sticky toffee pudding and lemon meringue pie which all went down well. The total bill came to approx £180 including a bottle of wine, 2 bitter shandies, a non alcoholic drink with service for the 4 of us. We would happily return.

Lovely ‘local’ with a good choice of wines, spirits and beers. Lovely food, well priced and a warm and friendly welcome. We tried the new linguine dishes, beef and seafood, and also the sambuca prawn starter. End to end delicious. Thanks to Ben and the crew.

Lovely pub with exceptional food and a very warm welcome. Looking forward to returning soon

Lovely Sunday lunch for four of us, including 2 children. Food was great, children’s roast fantastic and service welcoming. Lovely to see this venue busy as it deserves to be successful

We attended the Traditional Boats Festival in Henley. The weather closing in. The idea of a soggy burger in the rain didn’t appeal. I did a search on Google Maps and found The Maltsters Arms. I rang. The phone was picked up quickly by a helpful and friendly young man. We booked and arrived 10 minutes later. The young front of house team were friendly, smiley and efficient. The food was very reasonably priced and good quality. Top Marks. It was a random pick that paid off. Thank you.

Eaten before at the Malsters and the food was excellent, for the second time I am wanting to return but cnnot book a table because you do not answer the phone or respond to the email address on your website. This is deeply annoying and...

A little gem of a pub ,great food , good service , leaning toward the higher price bracket for the food , but still enjoyed our visit ,would probably return again

The Maltsters provided us with a buffet and space for our wake after a funeral service at The Henley Natural Burial site. They were welcoming, helpful and respectful throughout. The buffet, particularly the vegan options, were eaten with relish by meat-eaters, vegetarians and vegans! It's...

Quality food and ultra friendly staff. Will return when next in the area

Had lunch here with a few friends - what a gem. The food, the place and service were all wonderful. Highly recommended!!

I booked a table for 2. Great atmosphere - low key and friendly. Definitely dog friendly. Warm pleasant service, excellent food (the pie special and scampi and chips). Cost about average for two meals and two drinks. (50-60)

Lovely pub and atmosphere , great after a long walk. Staff are very welcoming and it's very dog friendly!

I’m constantly on the hunt for the perfect pub Sunday Roast and this is about as close as I’ve come. It was fantastic - full of flavour, generous portions and all the trimmings. Can’t recommend it enough and we’ll be back again. Just need to remember to book in advance (it was packed!)

Really nice. Glad this place is back open. Decent grub. Nice beers. Good service. Thanks!

Our family Sunday lunch was a large group (14) - seniors / children / adults. Friendly service with delicious food served promptly. Great Sunday Roast menu / additional mains menu available - thank you everyone at The Maltsters .

The new management has done a super job restoring the pub. It's now cosy and welcoming with a good pub grub menu at sensible prices. The pork belly light-bite nibbles plate is superb. BUT, watch out if you're doing dry January. I was staggered to...

Popped in here on a Friday lunchtime and had a lovely meal. The staff were very attentive and accomodating, and the food and beer was excellent. The pub was busy but plenty of space for our sleeping baby.

This pub offers a very friendly welcome and delicious food with generous portions. I can recommend the haddock croquettes with curry mayo and the pork faggots with onion gravy, mash and peas - very, very tasty and fresh! The service was attentive and the food...

Amazing roast and fitted us in on a busy day. Very friendly, will be back.

We dropped in on a dog walk today without a booking. They were welcoming and accommodating. We had a pork and lamb roast and they were incredible. Made all the better by the very friendly and attentive staff which seems to be something of a rarity these days sadly. Will definitely be back soon.

Great food and atmosphere, clean and tidy! Great staff , defo be back ! What a lush steak!!

After a stomp through the Autumn countryside we arrived at the pub and had an absolutely brilliant lunch. Service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive (Thank you Billy😜), food was top notch and we struggled to leave rather than settle in for a couple...

Lovely county pub serving a good selection of meals at reasonable prices. Tables are limited and it does get busy, so I would recommend pre booking, especially in the winter when outdoor dinning would be a little chilly. Staff are friendly and service was prompt....

I have visited this pub several times since the new people have taken over and I’m never disappointed! The fish pie was amazing! Big shout out to Billy & Ewan who were amazing great service ! Thanks we will be back !!

Excellent food, super friendly service from Billy

Since new ownership, fantastic menu and food! Love this pub!

A wonderful and very friendly pub . Great food ,

By way of a change, decided to have our a Friday night gathering (drinks only) at The Maltsters. We were greeted by Billy who showed us to our table and took a drinks order with great charm..despite a diminished size of party. Thereafter Heather ministered to our needs,beautifully. Brian and co have made this a delightful venue. And we look forward to returning to experience the food. Brakspears Gravity bitter spot-on. Well done the Maltsters.

Malteasers are my favourite choc Maltsters is my favourite pub

We went for dinner on Saturday night and the food was excellent (and really reasonably priced). It is cosy, spotless and very stylishly decorated (especially after the last incarnation). The staff were wonderful and all had very warm, genuine smiles. We had a fantastic evening.

The minute you arrive at the pub you can tell it is up together, clean and tidy inside and out. Toilets impeccable. The greeting from the Landlord Brian was extremely warm convivial and friendly, the beer (Brakspears) was delicious. The staff really attentive,polite and friendly...

Nice country pub, great atmosphere, tasty food at very reasonable prices

This pub/restaurant has had a rocky ride over the last few years, but the new Landlords, Ben and Brian have brought it back to life with a bang! Great food and drink, relaxing atmosphere, lovely location and decor and dog friendly. We booked for 8...

Exceptional food! For the price point, compared with other pubs, the plates are huge and stacked to the brim of delicious food. The chicken kyiv was sensational. Very pleasant bar staff. Will definitely go back. Thank you!

We had a great time the staff where friendly, polite and professional. Cannot fault the service👏 The food was delicious and the place was clean and well decorated!

I came here for lunch with two friends and we all thought the food we were served was very good in quality, quantity and value for money. The service was friendly and efficient. Judging by the recent reviews this pub reopened at least 2 months...

Such a lovely place ! Food is excellent and fairly priced 😊

Just dropped in after leaving Henley...an absolute Gem of a Find. This is the epitome of what a 'modern' / traditional English pub should look like, beautiful decor and quality furniture and fittings,with great ambience. New Landlord and his son have clearly put their heart and soul into reviving this Pub in little known and underrated part of South Oxfordshire, and I wish them every success. Btw: Enjoyed the swift pint of Pedigree...

A new management, great food and hospitality. Highly recommended.

The food is excellent, the staff attentive and engaging without being intrusive and pushy, while the surrounding and furniture were clean, comfortable and tasteful. Thoroughly enjoyable experience and there was lashings of custard with the pudding.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at The Maltsters. It has recently reopened under new ownership and has been beautifully refurbished. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly and looked after us very well. And the food was delicious, very generous portions and reasonably priced. A...

Our first visit with the new owners. We had a lovely evening and could not fault, really excellent food with good service and pleasant staff. Highly recommend and we shall be there again for more of that!

Roast leg of Lamb very good generous portion

Came here for a drink and a portion of chips to relax after a v hectic day , couldn’t have asked for more. The staff were so friendly and welcoming , the garden was such a fabulous place to sit in, the pub itself was full of people having evening meals so will def be back to try out the full menu

We were able to book a last minute table at 5pm on a Saturday night and so glad we did. Food was amazing, the staff were very friendly, helpful and very welcoming. A lovely environment, great value, well worth a visit if you're in the...

Maltsters kindly squeezed us in for a last minute early evening meal during Henley Regatta weekend. Following the friendly and helpful phone booking it just got better. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food absolutely delicious. We had 2 of the special main...

Friendly staff, good food and a wide choice of drinks.

Great to see the Maltsters open again. Lovely refurb retaining its character. Really friendly welcome and lovely food from a good looking menu. Highly recommended.

Booked a table for 8 and we were warmly welcomed. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The menu had good range and the specials were a good addition with several of our party opting for them. The chef was fantastic in slightly adapting the odd dish eg swapping mussels for prawns which we really appreciated. It was also great to see a proper pie on the menu which I ordered and was delicious. In summary great to have the Maltsters Arms back open and I look forward to returning soon.

The pub recently reopened with a new owner/chef after several years of indifferent food and managers. What a change new decor, a friendly face to welcome you and excellent tasty well presented food. Calves liver well cooked and lovely gravy; steak and ale pie with...

Under new Management, refurbished so nothing like the pictures here. Lovely welcome from the bar staff. The food was excellent, went for rib eye steak on the bone cooked to perfection and was very tasty. Unfortunately since we had a starter could not fit in...

This is a super fresh public house in the country recently taken over by New landlords. I found the decor inside and out to be splendid and I wish both Ben and Brian the very best of luck for the future. DA

We spent lovely afternoon in the newly re-opened Maltster's Arms. The food was delicious - the presentation was lovely, it was fresh and the portions very satisfying. The outdoor space is spacious and has a lovely atmosphere. The new owners very welcoming and helpful. The whole place feels clean, well-looked after. We stopped off here on our walk the area, shich is so pretty.

We visited our local pub which has reopened with new landlords. We enjoyed amazing food and a warm welcome from the staff. It's so good to have our local pub back in the village. Thank you everybody at The Maksters Arms.

With great sadness we are our last meal at The Maltsters but we’re soon cheered up with a friendly welcome and an amazing duo of Salmon & Haddock fishcakes topped with softly poached eggs. Borris has pretty much cleared the bars and restaurants for this...

Love this pub. Great food, staff and atmosphere. We always get a warm welcome and have a great time.

This is the place to go for meals that mean you can't move afterward - lovely fish dishes and luscious steak and kidney pudding, with all the right accompaniments: gravy, mash and red cabbage. We would come for the chips alone frankly. I could sit here all day eating the chips and having pints.

Four of us had Sunday lunch at the Maltsters Arms last week and we’re delighted by the food, the service and the atmosphere. My wife and I had the roast chicken and it was delicious. The host, Gary, made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend...
