The Mount By Glynn Purnell in Stratford-on-Avon

I was reluctantly taken to the Mount for lunch. I say reluctantly because our last visit to a Mr Purnell's restaurant left a lot to be desired. It was, however, a few years ago. I am very glad to say that this restaurant served us a lovely lunch. Three courses, all delicious, served in beautiful surroundings. The staff were friendly and obliging, and altogether a very enjoyable experience. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

Sunday lunch scotch egg was good black pudding tasty but egg not runny. Good taste to the beef but the vegetables were over cooked and tasteless. Service ok but do not liked to be called ‘guys’. Had a lot better meal, service elsewhere for much less.

Made a reservation and seated next to a smelly toilet not a great start, had to move ourselves off further into the pub. Salmon starter generous and delicious beautiful with the pickles. Beef perfectly cooked and decent gravy. Roast potatoes hard as rocks, greens way over seasoned to the point of inedible, disappointing sides. Service was very slow, tried to overcharge us by £40 on the bill, when we pointed this out just a shrug no apology. In the end we paid £130 for 2 people having 2 drinks each. Way over priced for slightly above average pub grub

I visited The Mount, Henley In Arden for an evening meal with a friend. We were greeted by two waitresses, who were really professional and friendly. I ordered for starter, the prawn cocktail, followed by rib of beef pie with buttered greens and creamed potatoes. It was simply delicious and considering it’s owned by chef Glynn Purnell, it certainly wasn’t overpriced, as some famous chef owned restaurants are! I would certainly recommend this restaurant to anybody! Well done to the owner, chef’s and staff alike! I will return!

Really enjoyed our Valentines meal the monk fish was 👏 the staff were attentive and accommodating. Thank you for making my birthday weekend x

Really nice food but the lack of effort from the staff to qwell the cackley loud women was disappointing so had to leave early. The musician was good when we could hear him.

We had an exceptional Sunday lunch with friends. I have been out for a number of Sunday lunches and I have to say this is one of the best. The food was fantastic and service was wonderful!

I came in today with family we waited an hour to be be seated when we could see are table sitting there with a reserve sign on it for the whole hour , after we got seated (finally) we waited a further 30 minutes to get are order taken.we order 4 starters 2 pork belly bite and 2 beef sandwich’s ,we ordered 5 roasts 2 chicken,3 beef and they asked for a slice of pork belly on there as-well. around 10 minutes later a waiteress comes over and tells us we’ve BEEN TO PICKING with are starters and told us that they have to have the pickles inside the sandwich and the sauce also !! We were flabbergasted 5 minutes later the same waitress returns and tell us because we order extra sides to come with are roasts such as (extra gravy ,potatoes) they won’t be able to do that even Though we are the ones paying for it and if we wanted a slice of pork we had to pay for a whole extra roast !!!!!!! She also went on to tell us that next time we come we should book for a table of 8 people instead of 5 because that’s how much food we order Apparently ! The table seated behind us was her friends and they kept staring over at us and taking about it I felt so uncomfortable she made it a horrible experience Her attitude and mannerisms was absolutely disgusting !! If anyone else has had this problem before let me no

I note some of the few negative reviews but this is far from our positive experience. I went for a Sunday roast and everything was faultless. Staff were attentive and very confident to engage regarding the menu and in particular, allergies. Roast beef was perfect and the most tender I've experienced. Decor was sophisticated and relaxing. Would definitely book again.

Wonderful restaurant in delightful Henley in Arden with a nice garden area. The menu was perfect for a family with a very diverse dietary requirement, covering vegetarian, pescatarian and non-vegetarians. For my main, I had the beef pie, probably one of the best freshly baked pies I’ve ever had! Packed with delicious beef and seasoned perfectly; served with greens and potato mash. A sticky toffee pudding with ice cream was shared, it was very moorish. One tiny negative, the waitress & the menu did not make the sides clear; as a result we ordered four sides that were not necessary - just a complete waste of food and meant we were too full up to have individual deserts.

Arrived expecting a great meal! Ordered Prawn cocktail to start which was nice and a medium rare fillet steak which arrived medium. What really was annoying I asked the waitress if I needed to order it rare as I would rather it be underdone than overdone ! Despite this it arrived medium pink in the middle no juices very disappointing. Service was fine and the staff nice. The dining area feels a bit sterile and needs to be jazzed up a bit

The best place in henley in arden for drinks and food. A warm reception and the most excellent food to die for! Cannot express how good the food is. We eat their on a regular basis. Staff cannot do enough for you. Highest of recognition i can give!

I can't believe it took me so long to visit The Mount, but I finally dined there last Saturday. First of all, a busy bar area as you enter giving a very friendly and happy atmosphere..Then a charming dining area to the rear, which was pleasantly busy for a cold day in January..On checking the menu, it was surprisingly inexpensive with a varied and interesting choice of food. A bottle of superb Chilean Merlot for around £25? Wow!! I had smoked salmon to start which was delicious. Then cod served on a bed of vegetables, perfectly cooked and tasty. Finally sticky toffee pudding which was tasty, light and with an amazing texture. Service throughout was both friendly and attentive. Times are tough in hospitality at the moment but every table was occupied . I think it speaks for itself!!! Well done Glynn Purnell. You have a terrific venue here. I thoroughly enjoyed my introduction to The Mount and can't wait to return very soon.

Splendid food overall save that the sticky toffee pudding was said to be on the dry side but the service was appalling so that all the good marks awarded for food lost on account therewith. When are we going to learn in this country that Service is as important as the food to be provided. It was not as if the restaurant was busy, anything but, which might explain the complete indifference exhibited by the staff. The ‘optional’ service charge was a deceit but to refuse to pay would have denied the kitchen staff their just desserts. Disappointing.

Went for a family Sunday lunch. We were all a little underwhelmed and surprised with the standard of our food. Both the roast beef and roast chicken were cooked perfectly. However, the vegetables were very disappointing the roast potatoes and greens were OK, but the carrots and cauliflower cheese were AWFUL, both overcooked and soggy. I would find it difficult to recommend The Mount as a choice for Sunday lunch.

Superb food, excellent table service, nice ambiance. All our main courses were excellent : ample portions and very tasty ( 2 confit duck and one venison). The starters were also very tasty ( 2 scallops and 1 smoked salmon). Very tiny portions. Veg was excellent as were the french fries.

Wonderful food and great service ! The Vanilla crème brûlée is outstandingly good !

Visited the Mount with my family for a pre-xmas meal. The experience was just everything we wanted and more. The food sublime, the service impeccable and overall atmosphere down in the bar amazing. We were served by a couple of nice girls and the boys on the bar were very welcoming. Overall an amazing experience, will definitely be returning with our voucher!

What a fantastic night we have just had at the Mount. The service from arrival to the end of the night was perfect. Katie was very friendly and welcoming and attentive throughout the meal and nothing was too much trouble. I have an allergy and Katie liased with the chef and informed me which dishes I could choose from which put me at ease. The food was perfectly presented and tasted amazing - the whole table were impressed with all the dishes ordered especially the ox cheek and cod - thank you to the chef ( Phil) We will definitely be returning - Thank you

Visited on Friday night. My husband’s steak was overcooked and my duck was overcooked and stuck to the bone. Disappointing

Myself and a friend went for lunch and we were able to sit in the restaurant yet have the bar menu. The waiting staff, Joel and Katie, were delightful! So friendly and attentive but not intrusive. We loved the ambiance and food was good. There are lots of festive events coming up so we hope to return and get into festive spirit!

Excellent food and service, sensibly priced.

Beware when buying any type of vouchers or paying deposits for bookings as they may just decide to do a quick one with your money!

service was great and the staff don't deserve to put up with the complaints they do but the food was extremely poor for the price, not sure if the ingredients have been reduced to substandard cuts of meat or the kitchen team are not as good as they used to be but we won't be returning.

Been meaning to go for a while. Booked in for a saturday lunch, quiet when we got there but soon filled up. Serving team were friendly and attentive . Prices were a little on the higher side but this reflected the quality of the food. Had the chicken pie which was lovely. Enjoyed it so much that we've booked in again for boxing day lunch.

Do you think Glynn Purnell should honour gift vouchers that were bought from Purnells?

Excellent staff, immaculate clean location, top notch service, fantastic food

Joint birthday meal for daughter and niece. Accommodated 9 of us including one with allergies and others who are generally very fussy. Delicious food and lots of it! The waiting staff were absolutely lovely. Nothing too much trouble. A perfect family Sunday lunch. The pork belly slightly shaded the beef in the family vote! Definitely would recommend and thank you again for looking after us all so well.

The service was exceptional - didn’t get the young girls name but thank you for such great service. The food , unfortunately was ok , compared to the Black swan I’m afraid it doesn’t compare , my wife had Gnocchi sad to say it went straight back it was really hard and inedible. Would we revisit unfortunately not , we tried the black swan two weeks ago and have already been back which says it all !!!!

We went today for a family Sunday lunch. First course ok Beef was so disappointing even after I asked steak knife Vegetables good Staff good - lunch poor not what we expected

Great experience. Food was amazing and meeting Glynn made the evening. Lovely friendly pub as well as great restaurant.

I had an amazing time celebrating my birthday at The Mount last week. We hired the private room upstairs, which was just perfect for a special occasion. The staff were amazing, so attentive and really made my day feel special. The food was incredible, I’ve have eaten there many times for special occasions and it is definitely my favorite restaurant in the West Midlands /warwickshire area !

Went for a second visit this time for Sunday lunch as we had previously been in the evening. I had the roast beef and my husband had chicken. The food was very good although the gravy let it down a little ( I feel this is an important part of a Sunday Roast dinner) and the cauliflower cheese although very tasty was quite dry. We shared a sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel sauce - nice enough but not outstanding - and the caramel sauce was too salty. The waiting staff I think are lovely and I love the ambience of this place.

Excellent food again, good range of drinks and friendly service. The only regret was that things were quite quiet at Saturday lunch – though we'd failed to make a booking for Sunday lunch, so there are busy times.

Absolutely beautiful food , excellent service , will be returning very soon,

I had the autumn menu, beef tartare and ox cheek for main and it was amazing. The beef fell apart and was stunning

The Sunday lunch was disappointing. The beef was beautifully rare but had no flavour and was stringy, the blunt knives didn’t help. My Yorkshire pudding was stone cold and the veg was Luke warm although the serving dishes were nuclear hot? Overall I wouldn’t recommend and won’t return for Sunday lunch.

Learning that Glen Purnell owned this restaurant, we arrived expecting something a little bit special. The restaurant was empty so we opted to sit in the bar area. The cutlery was quite dull (some was stained) and a tumbler for water had water stains. I checked the menu before making a booking and saw that there were some interesting fish options. Unfortunately that was the summer menu that had been changed several days earlier and the website hadn’t been updated! The only option was a starter of smoked salmon or cod and chips. We both shared a starter of Camembert with GF bread (which was white sliced, slightly crisped but nothing special.) We opted for steak which was good and cooked as requested but it was served only with bog standard fries and a small flat mushroom marinated in a sweet vinegar dressing. Our peppercorn sauce lacked depth. Only one of us had dessert. Together with two medium glasses of red wine at £7.50 each, four glasses of water and a hot drink we paid £135 (including a 10% service charge.) It’s not the money, It was just a basic, village pub with only two staff on duty front of house - one was a bar man and the other our waitress (that we had to alert to our arrival as she was in the kitchen!) She did serve us well though. Overall, the venue, and menu options were too basic to warrant the final price.We were celebrating a birthday. We have previously enjoyed much better food options, service and ambience at The Bluebell and at The Chapel restaurant in Edgbaston Birmingham, both great independent restaurants.

What a fantastic meal - excellent food, great friendly service. It if was closer we’d be coming much more often!

I am writing to express my deep disappointment with my recent order from your restaurant. I ordered chicken wings and thighs, expecting a high-quality meal given your establishment’s reputation. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. The chicken was extremely dry and overcooked, and the thighs resembled more of a chicken select than a proper thigh. To make matters worse, the food wasn't even served warm. It's hard to believe that a restaurant with a connection to a Michelin-starred chef would serve such poorly prepared chicken. The salt and pepper wings were particularly concerning, as they were undercooked to the point where I could taste the flour on them. This lack of attention to basic cooking standards is unacceptable. Frankly, I would have been better off going to KFC. I had higher hopes for your restaurant, but this experience has left me questioning its commitment to quality. I hope you take this feedback seriously and make the necessary improvements.

Lovely afternoon lunch. Great food, good service, nice atmosphere. Modern interior. Large outdoor seating area with patio and garden. There is a small play area at the rear for under 8s. Will return again. Parking available a short distance away in nearby car park.

Had a great evening with super food. The staff were superb. Only niggles were the lady next to us arranging her, yet unannounced, wedding via speaker phone next to us. Passive aggressive she wasn't and a bunch of drunken young people outside loud and offensive.

This was the second time I have been to the restaurant. The first time it has just opened and it was a little chaotic (understandable) - now it is super slick. The date night experience was really fun and the food was awesome! Would definitely go for the experience again. Parking on the street can be tricky - so arrive with plenty of time.

Met 2 girlfriends for lunch Should have realised it wasn’t going to go well when I had to ask the bar man to get cucumber for the Hendricks gin from the kitchen We sat outside on the patio in our pre-booked table , a sullen looking waitress arrived after over 10 minutes with menus . No greeting no asking of food allergies or special requirements as you usually do these days After a considerable time we ordered a starter of hummus & bread to share , when this arrived the portion was indeed generous - but we had no side plates cutlery or napkins . We asked several times & after a long delay were given side bowls as apparently no plates were available. No cutlery or napkins still - I had to retrieve these of an inside table myself . No check back - our main course was simply delivered whilst still enjoying the hummus . Main course was indeed delicious- fish & chips , burger & scallop were all cooked perfectly Again no check back - had to again ask for condiments & vinegar from the frankly bored uninterested waitress . We had to chase for a jug of water - which arrived with no water glasses & chase up the 2nd bottle of wine we’d ordered . The dessert was lovely - crème brûlée & a strawberry tart . No criticism of the food - but the service was beyond awful , from the 2nd we arrived . Dirty tables uncleared , no table check backs & certainly no interaction with customers. We waited 29 minutes to pay - again having to chase .

Had a delicious lunch at The Mount today. The food was expertly prepared with the halibut being very fresh and perfectly cooked. What makes it different is the top level food being served in a very pleasant informal atmosphere. Attentive and professional service added to our enjoyment. A perfect lunch and good value for top-end food. We will definitely return.

I was brought here for my birthday by my family at lunch time. I had the haddock and chips. Never before have I had fish and chips at that level, it was a genuine delight. Also, the scotch egg... oh my. This is a fantastic place, with even better food.

Everything was delicious and the young waitresses that served us were both lovely. I’ll certainly go back. The restaurant has a lovely layout and although it was raining tonight when we went there is a lovely looking garden.

Had Sunday lunch. Not sure I’ve eaten lamb as good, ever. Even the cauliflower cheese was better than I’ve had before! Great service and lovely place.

Have eaten here twice in last 4 weeks. Once for Sunday dinner and once on thurs evening. Both times food was delicious and amazing value . Service both times was also first rate. Not sure why more people are not rating this with 5 stars. Can only speak from my own experiences and I love it here, will be back very soon

Had a lovely birthday lunch for my wife 😋 served by India a credit to your establishment

We came here for a couple night. Food is exceptional, the quality of meat(s) ingredients, favours and presentation was superb. The scotch egg was amazing. The fallow deer and venison pie was sublime. I would’ve given it 5 stars but the service let it down. I felt we were rushed. We arrived 20 mins earlier and were seated straight away as it was quiet. The waitress were on at us from the get go, it felt like they were sitting on our shoulders and if we’d make a sudden movement, they be there asking if we’d decided on what we were ordering. The only time we didn’t see them was when we wanted the bill.

Feels strange writing this review, as most places I go to eat, really do impress me. Unfortunately The Mount by Glynn Purnell did not :( . The service was fantastic, the waiters and waitress' were all amazing, extremely polite and friendly. Along with having impeccable timing when checking our table and clearing any items etc. The atmosphere wasn't the best, we arrived to a busy pub (which is fine), but the eating area was so quiet! You could hear a pin drop! Is this because we arrived bang on half 5? Weird, I'd of thought there'd always be some kind of music to create a welcoming atmosphere... The food was the let down Unfortunately. I booked this restaurant for my dad's 60th birthday (a party of 5), thinking it was going to be something special. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Noir, absolutely beautiful red wine. Starters were pork nugget, crispy chicken thighs fillets x3. All of this was perfect, and we thought it had set the bar for the standard/quality of food we'd receive for our mains. It was well presented and cooked to perfection. For mains x4 of us had the cutlet of pork, x1 fish and chips. This is where we were all disappointed, the covers came out and were well presented for the simplicity of the dish, but it was (and forgive me for being so blunt), a chewy slab of pork on some mash potatoes. I couldn't quite believe it, I was expecting some exquisite dish with impressive presentation, complimented by rich flavours and textures, much like the starters! We didn't get any of that. (hence no pictures for this review) The icing on the cake was the £240 bill at the end of the evening, which I very much expected to pay upon booking this meal. Unfortunately the meal didn't live up to £240 standards and I know we'd of been able to go to the Four Alls/Queens Head/The Boot/The Moathouse and spent a similar amount and enjoyed the food so so so much more. All In all, I advise others to visit this pub and by no means am I warning people away from this establishment. What I would suggest for The Mount, is a review of the quality/standard of food being served as this did not at all, align with the pricing of the dishes we received, or the name associated with this venue. We expected big things from a big name. I look forward to hearing from The Mount. Thanks, Edward

Visited with a friend for a coffee. Nice place clean. We were served quickly. Decent sized pot of tea for me and my friend enjoyed her coffee. Will go back for food.

The Sunday lunch here is on another level. What great service we had and so looked after. We were all so full definitely put this on your list of places to go, you will not be disappointed

A lovely establishment with a gorgeous, peaceful beer garden. We haven't tried the food yet but plan to Husband was happy with his beer, I didn't think much to the coffee I'm afraid, it was quite poor. We'll definitely be back again, though, see if we can push that 4 stars to a 5...

I was very excited in Sunday to visit the mount and have a bite to eat in their outside area with the kids. It is lovely venue and the food was very delicious. However the service is the worst I have ever experienced. I only really do reviews if I have an excellent experience, I've done 4 in my life, but the experience I had on Sunday was awful. It started by ordering an iced coffee from the menu and being told they do not do ice coffees, eventually the person serving said he meant he couldn't make it. A manager was around and said they could make it, so we ordered. The iced coffee took 25 minutes to come to the table, despite me asking twice if it was coming... no urgency from staff who all seemed young and inexperienced. The food came and was delicious, we was told having the food placed in front of us the waiter was going to come straight back with cutlery and asked us if we wanted sauces. My 5 year old wanted ketchup ... no one came back at all for around 15 minutes. I went to enquire as to where it was. The lady I spoke to seemed genuinely shocked that this had happened and was very sorry... although it was her who had dropped the food to our table so I was very confused by her reaction. Immediately someone came out with sauces but still no cutlery... 🤣, I had to laugh. Kids ate with their hands, lovely food, outrageously bad service, will not be returning or recommending.

Great food and atmosphere. Had a lovely Sunday lunch, which was cooked to perfection.

Drove 45 miles for great food and got it service was brill with great atmosphere will be back soon

Great food, it's well cooked and full of flavour and all served by happy, helpful staff. It's not cheap, but it's great value for money for such a wonderful lunchtime spent with good company in an understated modernist pub. Well done, we would recommend it to everyone.

Been twice since Glynn took it over and we've enjoyed it both times. The venison dish is a favourite of ours & the steaks are awesome too! The creamed mushrooms starter is excellent as well. The atmosphere in the pub is brilliant, we've made new friends each time we've been there, very friendly indeed. The garden at the back of the property looks fantastic for summer days, we must try it this year! All in all we love it!

I have finally been to The Mounts for Sunday lunch. I’ve been looking forward to this for some time. It lived up to my expectations. I wanted both the soup and the scotch egg. The scotch egg won, and I'm coming back to try the soup. For mains, we went with Pork, Lamb, & beef. My beef was wonderful, and plenty of it. My stepfather had the lamb. He said it melted in his mouth. The freshly made mint sauce was outstanding. My mother had the pork, cooked perfectly with the best crackling. The cauliflower & cheese was great. All the veg complemented the dishes. I forgot to take a picture of the Scorch lemon margarita & Old-fashioned. The drinks and service were perfect. Thank you to all the staff.

We had a wonderful time being waited on with great food and drink, polite and professional service in a well presented pub / restaurant, with lovely outside space. 😋

Nice venue, really friendly & helpful staff - food: Stone bass nice - well cooked. The roast beef is solid - very generous trimmings. Vegan mains are a little on the pedestrian side. The desserts were really good. Overall, I'd say it was decent but was honestly hoping for something a bit more elevated.

Original meal booked at Bluebell which was closed. So glad we went next door. Will return as often as we visit Henley. Excellent place!! Only 4 stars because entering belies the gemstones of the restaurant and garden.

Great service and food. Friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit to this restaurant. 5 star *****

Enjoyed Easter Sunday lunch here. The food, particularly the starters, were delicious. Good portion sized. Lovely atmosphere. Fantastic service from all the staff - thank you for being so welcoming!

Great food. Nice treat. We booked to go here because we had been given £50 voucher. Somehow we must have misplaced the voucher and was too late to Cancel at this point. Would have been better if we hadn’t have misplaced our voucher as it’s quite pricey when you have drinks and 3 courses but nice for a treat

Had a absolutely gorgeous meal and evening. Restaurant was very quiet which suited us tbh. Food OMG the chef needs a medal, was absolutely mouth watering.. Birthday treat, fitting way to end the day..

Great food, but service not good. Four of us went to The Mount as a treat. It was a busy Friday evening, and our table was between the bar and the restaurant. Our food order was taken quickly, but then we were pretty much abandoned! We were never offered more drinks, and we had to go up to the bar to ask for the wine menu and order our wine and drinks. The food was delicious – we had steaks and lamb, and all were cooked perfectly. But when you are paying this much for an upmarket pub meal (our bill was £228 for four of us – two courses and wine) you expect to be looked after. We could see that the staff were busy, and appeared not to have time to come and check on diners outside the main restaurant area. We asked for the service charge to be removed from our bill, and explained why - this was done - but no apology or explanation. Disappointing.

A wonderful experience from beginning to end! The gluten free menu was fantastic, we were surprised to have so much to choose from...thank you! (Tiniest critism, gluten free rolls would be nicer than thinnly sliced white bread with the sharing platters). By the end of the scallop starter I had decided that I wanted my birthday meal here this year! Each ingredient on the plate has been treated with respect and is full of flavour. Our service was brilliant. Staff are attentive but not over bearing. Was surprised to see Glynn serve creme brulee instead of burnt Cambridge cream :) (Yes I am a fan of Great British Menu...I think the scallop starter was inspired by Glenn's monkfish dish from GBM too!!)

There was an expectation the food would be Glynn Purnell standard given his stature in birmingham. The meat was cooked to perfection but all other things were below par. Cold sides and overcooked Yorkshire puddings lead to a uneventful experience. I don't think we shall be returning

Nice top end pub with good pub food. Worth a visit. Scotch egg was very good indeed, fish and chips were excellent. The sirloin steak...was a sirloin steak.

Michelin star! Failed to serve the sourdough toast with the pressed terrine starter and when reminded about it pointed at the focaccia bread we had ordered separately. When we said that’s focaccia ordered separately they went back to the kitchen, came back with another piece of focaccia and banged it down on the table. I’ve had better service in a greasy spoon.

The Mount's website proclaims ' Delicious food in Comfortable Surroundings' The day we visited in march was cold & damp. The dining room was large & not cosy. My wife ordered a soup which was served in a jug & when poured in a cold bowl, it became luke warm immediately. Her second course was a mushroom risotto which again was not hot & it was under seasoned and tasted very bland. My starter was whipped cream cheese It came with an elaborate garnish and no bread. Are you supposed to eat cream cheese with a knife & fork? My main course was pigs cheek which was hot & cooked well. It had a very tasty sauce with a few peas swimming around. It needed a small rice or potato accompaniment. I understand Glynn Parnell owns the pub & does not cook there but if his pub is called 'The Mount by Glynn Parnell' he should make sure that the food is up to standard.

It’s hard to rate this other than 1 as I found bone in my Ham Hock. Two bits I swallowed which are still stuck in my throat now and are causing me pain. I did retrieve one piece, a sharp triangular piece the size of half a thumbnail. This was taken back to the kitchen by the waitress. Who returned to apologise and we were told it is made in house so can happen. That it would be removed from the bill. I believe they removed 2 cokes from the bill also. However, It didn’t stop me from coughing for 20 minutes and I still have a sore throat today. I didn’t feel an apology by the waitress showed sufficient concern. Had I swallowed the third piece I would’ve needed to go to hospital. We persevered through the meal as my wife and I rarely get out and had travelled over an hour. I didn’t want to ruin her night. We both had steaks. My wife a Rib Eye and me the Fillet. Both were cooked medium and amazing for the first half. The second half of both steaks were cooked well and not so good. I’m not sure how they cook them but not what you’d expect. I had the Chocolate Moelleux which was like a tub of stodge and dry. There was no liquid inside which I expected. I left it. My wife had the mint ice cream which was not to her taste. The service was slow halfway through the meal as the place filled up. Taking just over two hours for 3 courses. We tipped the waitress on top of the service charge as I felt during the bone scenario I might have come across initially rude. I was pretty shocked and something I’ve never had anywhere else. Not a good experience and I certainly wouldn’t return

Quiz night at the Mount, what a great night, quiz master was on great form and the place was full of people out to have a good time ! Lots of laughs had ! Plus incredible bar food just hit the spot ! Great friendly staff as always ! Look forward to the next one x

Sadly we had the misfortune to dine at the Mount Pub today in Henley-In-Arden. I ordered the 10oz Hereford Sirloin (rare), it came blue, it was sent back only for the second steak to arrive the wrong side of medium!. Now even if I was prepared to ask for another to be fired, which I wasn't, the meal was already ruined. My wife ordered the salt and pepper squid and the Nduja shrimp. The squid batter was soggy, had no real seasoning at all, the shrimp tasted like potted shrimp at best, and the Nduja sauce was oily, only tasted of paprika and had no spicy kick to it at all. Now I could just put this down to a bad day in the kitchen, but I cannot and will not, because surely Glynn Parnell as a chef, never mind a Michelin starred one must have the utmost high and demanding standards for his restaurants, food and service. If he were to have witnessed what we were served today, there would be positions in the kitchen become available immediately, not only because chef had ruined two pieces of choice sirloin steak, but has cost the restaurant £66.00 as well!. Very disappointed, awful food, Valentine’s lunch ruined! Not that Valentines’ day is in any way really different from any other, but it does hurt a little bit more, especially for my wife. Glynn keep your eye on the ball. 1/10, and the 1 is for Connor who was front of house, lovely professional member of staff.

Fantastic as always. Great service. Very friendly and polite waiting staff. Lovely atmosphere. Last but not least, the food! AMAZING! Wouldn’t have wanted to spend it anywhere else but here on our Wedding anniversary. Thank you, see you again, hopefully sometime soon.

We took my parents the The Mount for their 50th wedding anniversary meal. This was our first visit, and it didn't disappoint. The pub area is very well presented, with exposed oak beams and a nice log burner in the corner. The restaurant area at the back of the building is very airy, with high ceilings and had about 10 tables in it when we visited. The Mount has a few vegan options, which were absolutely fantastic. They were full of flavour. Hats off to the kitchen staff! Some on our table had steak and they couldn't praise it highly enough. Our waitress, India, was great, as we're all of the staff. Overall we had a really enjoyable evening. Will definitely recommend to friends and family, and will certainly be back!

A wonderful atmosphere serving fantastic food with first class service !- A definite must if you've not been a warm welcome with a lovely log fire too ! Good to see Poppy and Heidi who were so attentive to all our needs a huge thank you to all the first class team ! Kathy and Richard x

Only had a drink there but nice place and good atmosphere.

We had sunday lunch and from the moment we arrived we were treated as friends not customers, the food was excellent and plentiful. After our meal we were able to enjoy a relaxing drink without rushing. Thank you to all the staff for making it a special birthday occasion for us all.

My fav place in this area. As soon as you walk in you feel that you found something special. Exceptional.

Had a very tasty Sunday lunch, roast beef was delicious. Service was excellent by a polite lady called Poppy. I will be going back.

Delicious Sunday lunch. Excellent service

Came here for dinner in January 2024 and was served by Heidi. Excellent service - she was speedy and very welcoming! Can definitely say I will be returning as the food was also delicious!

Been here quite a few times already but it just keeps getting better and better. I had wild mushrooms on sour dough toast and then chicken masala. They are amongst the best foods I have ever tasted. Nick, who. Liked our meal, served us too!...

Always pop into The Mount for drinks when we're in Henley and never disappointed....we often have the pleasure of meeting up and chatting with the Head Barman Connor who always greets us with a huge smile and friendly face. He must be good because when we were in recently he's even got a range of cocktails named after him! .... can't wait till the next time and see what's on offer...thanks Connor keep up the top work chap

Fave spot for all occasions. Came in for cocktails and bar snacks with family. Really yummy food and all the cocktails are amazing! Really creative and fun and the bar staff always help with suggestions. Special mention to Connor who always goes above and beyond to make sure everyone’s happy

We traveled to visit The Mount for our evening meal.We wanted to try the steak & ale pie.The staff were polite helpful and professional and we were soon thoughley enjoying the main course. I had mentioned when i booked the reservation if they still did a crumble desert? However this was not part of the same menu as they pie.When we had finished eating.Our waitress Heidi spoke to us and said the chef would do us some rhubarb crumbs.As we were waiting a gentleman came to the table and thanked us for travelling to dine and introduced himself as the owner.A truely thoughtful and kind jesture.As we paid the bill. I asked the staff if they would pass to the kitchen team our gratitude for going the extra mile.One the chefs then met me and i passed on to him how much we all appreciated everything they had done for us.In this day & age, when customer service is almost non exsitance. It was a wonderful suprise to find excellent service from the whole staff this evening. Thank you all very much. Hope to see you all very soon.

Excellent food, great service provided by our lovely waitress Tamsin who was friendly, polite and professional .
