Tuve una gran cena al final de la tarde y un par de copas con mi esposa y mi perro! Todos nos hicieron muy bienvenidos (incluido mi perro). El I.P.A. era bueno (nunca lo había tenido antes) y la comida era excelente. Muy buena relación calidad-precio. Muy gratamente sorprendido. ¡Mejora enorme desde la última vez que fui al cazador furtivo hace años!

Sólo vino a tomar una copa por la tarde. El servicio fue muy bueno y un miembro del personal escuchó que era mi cumpleaños y me trajo un pequeño pastel con una vela. Un toque muy dulce. Sin duda volveremos a apoyar este negocio local.

Extraña mezcla de pub antiguo y restaurante indio con zona de shisha opcional fuera. Un entorno limpio y agradable, el personal muy educado y atento. La comida era buena.

Poachers is a hidden gem. The cozy indoor seating and charming outdoor area provide a perfect setting for a delightful dining experience. The menu offers a fusion of Indian and Continental cuisines, with dishes like the flavorful Butter Chicken and tender grilled steaks standing out. Don't miss their expertly crafted cocktails—they're a treat! Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a relaxing brunch, Poachers delivers excellent food, inviting ambience, and attentive service. Highly recommended!

This place has an identity problem apart from rather slow service and sloppy attention to detail. The food was nice but one of the party didn't quite get what was ordered. (Burger with no salad but wit the hot sauce was without hot sauce) and another asked for plenty of lemon in the soda water and only got one slice. Small things but show a lack of attention. The menu is far from gastro and nearer Indian but fails at that too as it litters the menu with odd bits from all over the world. I would expect a more comprehensive menu if it were an Indian restaurant and more dishes veering towards fine dining if it were a gastro pub, It does have 3 burgers and fish & chips on the menu and one pasta dish. Generally I like low carb because I am diabetic, and apart from one salad choice this was not possible. However I was aware of the menu beforehand and was able to adjust my day to cope with a rather tasty pie and mash. Tasty it might have been and the pie was a good temperature, however the rest of the food was luke warm. The plate wasnt hot, so again a lack of attention to detail. Only 1 of the 3 ladies loos was lockable. Thats inexcusable, because the reason they dont lock is that the fixtures dont align. Shoddy workmanship.

I am normally not the one who writes negative reviews; but sadly this time I have to. Absolutely awful service. Inspite booking the table, we were made to sit outdoors in cold. No-one approached us for taking orders. We had to go inside and order our food. We had to sit over an hour for the food to be served. No apologies from the staff. Never going there again.

Not usually one for writing reviews but this place is too good not to write one. We visited with friends on a Saturday afternoon. After a spout of bad meals in other restaurants we were nervous to try somewhere new, however The Poachers blew us away. From lovely (reasonably priced!) wine, to the most amazing authentic Indian food any of us had ever tasted, this place was fabulous! It will certainly be our go-to and new local to visit. Thank you so much to all the staff and for the amazing cocktail tree (with sparklers!) at the end of our meal. We will be back!

I had a delightful time returning for another butter chicken with chilli and garlic naan. Nothing is too much trouble for these lovely people from bringing you a menu as soon as you sit down, quickly serving the food, immediately clearing the plates to bringing replacement pints from the bar. Really looking forward to seeing you again in 2024 with a group booking next time.

The service of this pub was absolutely awful, the men working there ignored us and did not bring over menus or cutlery and had to order at the bar despite it saying table service because no one came over to our table. We waited 30 minutes for two sandwiches and 15 minutes for a cold pot of tea. The staff were overall rude and the overall experience was a waste of time. When asking for our money back instead of the food they refused. DO NOT GO HERE !

Absolutely shocking service waited over 3 hours in total, waiting over 1 hour for a starter ,which was an overcooked calamari, that was about as hard than stone almost breaking my teeth and waiting for minimum 1hr 30min for a very mediocre peperoni pizza that didn't taste great at all. Expect to wait over 2 hours for food!

Waited 90 minutes for a starter and served a cold main after 3 hours! Some of the food was OK but the fact we got a cold main after being here 3 hours is unacceptable. Menu is unclear, value is not great. My side of rice came out nearly 20 minutes before my main and was cold once I ate the main dish. Service overall incredibly slow and manager was rude and dismissive when we complained. Avoid avoid avoid!!!!

The the starter took about an hour to come and the main took about over 3 hours . We asked a man how long it would take and he said that it was being cooked.Half an hour later it was finally ready. Most of the food was cold and the best part of the meal was the drinks. I don't recommend this place at all .

Wow... Absolutely amazing. Food delicious and a good variety e.g. burgers, fish and chips, curries. The staff were so attentive, friendly and helpful - thank you Ashter. He heard me say Happy Birthday to my friend and after our meal they appeared with a little cake surrounded by strawberries and flowers with a candle. They sang happy birthday and other customers joined in, it made my friend's day. They did that without being asked, so thoughtful. I haven't seen such good service in a long time. Prices also good. I will definitely be going back - especially for the prawns yummy. Well done new owners.

We had meal there last night food is good and good value. We ordered starters and mains but it all came together so was a rush to eat before going cold. Tried to explain to guys bringing food but a communication problem as don’t seem to speak English and grin at you. Also tried twice to get a bill in end had to go to bar to pay. There appeared to be another large table that were meals missing so it’s seems to be staff training that letting them down. Would go again but would not be desperate to do so

I hadn’t been to the poachers for years and it has changed a lot. Outside bar looked nice but didn’t use as was raining Inside lots of staff who were super helpful and friendly. Menu has lots of Indian items on it and those were fantastic. Good range of drinks. Food turned up reallly fast, lots of it and very hot. Chicken biryani was fab, pretty spiced and lots of rice. Butter chicken was really amazing, sauce was great very thick and creamy and had a super flavour. Meal was £60 for 2 people, including several drinks, starter and main course with rice each, and then a coffee. Seemed very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. Would definitely go again.

A lovely Sunday lunch outdoors of butter chicken with a chilli garlic naan suggested by the waitress as the naans weren't listed on the menu.

Vine a comer para algunas cenas rápidas durante su estancia en el hotel Doubletree Hilton. Sus pizzas al horno de piedra no fueron servidas todo el fin de semana, lo cual fue una pena. Llegamos bastante cerca del cierre de la cocina, pero todavía estaban felices de servirnos. Lee era un camarero / bar encantador y servicial, e hizo que la experiencia fuera mucho más agradable. La primera noche tuvimos el bocadillo de pescado abierto que no era genial. Pagado 4. 95 para un lado de verduras que era un plato pequeño de aproximadamente una pulgada de ancho con algunos brócoli y puerros. . .La segunda noche tuve la ensalada de superalimento de salmón y mi novio tenía el sándwich abierto de carne que era mucho mejor que la noche anterior. El personal era amable y es un buen lugar para sentarse y tomar una copa. No se apresuraría a volver, pero superó los precios en el restaurante del hotel a pesar de provenir de las mismas cocinas.

Horrendous. They missed off one of our orders and when we ask the waitress where it was she said ‘it’s not my problem’. They were so rude. And then the same waitress spilled boiling hot gravy over someone next to us and then just walked away and didn’t come back with anything to help so we had to use our jug of water to cool him down. Probably the worst service we’ve ever received.

He estado con colegas, cenamos juntos. Compartimos algunos entrantes y comimos platos principales. Entre los entrantes, algo como el queso frito era muy bueno. Las papas fritas en cambio no eran tan sabrosas, en particular el queso encima. Personalmente elijo hamburguesa vegetariana y pedí batata. Me dieron papas normales y dulces, por error, y pagamos ambas, por supuesto; No me gustó el frito. Sin embargo, la hamburguesa no era tan mala.

Have not been to this pub for years and goodness me I won’t be back anytime soon! We were a group of 10 having a drink on a Sunday night. Upon arrival, despite there only being 2 other people in the pub, the tables were dirty, so many glasses not collected and generally not very welcoming. We asked for a wine list to be told “we don’t have one” so we had to literally waste time at the bar asking for wine and the price being checked. We sat outside and about 45 mins later were told as it was a sunday they shut at 10pm. Like the fact we we told this after buying a big round of drinks . They literally shut the pub up and left us outside!!! We had to bang on the window to get in to use the toilet facilities! Never experienced such poor service with staff so uninterested in their job! This could be an amazing place but so far from that at present. Sort it out!

Haven't been to the poachers for 25 years when it was a crèche (young persons establishment) We had a great welcome both times and the food was plentyful and tasty. Only one criticism... they need new cleaning staff, tables had dirty rings on them, menu's were sticky and gents toilets need a very good scrub especially under hand dryer which I wiped and its old built up dirt. Sinks and toilets were stained too.

We often visit the poachers as a family to eat out. It has been taken over from a best western to a hilton (hotel change). Nothing inside the poachers has changed with the exception of the menu. More items have been added and many of the popular dishes remain on the new menu. However the prices have certainly changed,whilst i appreciate increases are necessary these are daylight robbery. An example of this is the vegetarian burger previously £6.95 now a whopping £11.95!!!!! Five pounds increase, come on guys! All other items have similar increases, as i say daylight robbery.

We often visit to enjoy a drink and have always found this an ideal venue to watch the football. Sometimes we eat, and enjoy the food. What puzzles us is why it has now become customary for a group of customers to reserve tables for the football, not to eat which I would understand but simply so they can walk in last minute and sit at best table, this seems unfair on others who may have arrived early to be able to get a seat. I understand people booking tables to eat but to watch football!!

Strange staffing policy as the girl behind the bar seemed really fed up, but hardly surprising as she seemed to be doing all the jobs while three other people popped in and out of the kitchen. Service was poor, the food was poor and my family weren't really interested in the golf tournament commentary which boomed out all around us from the huge flat screen TV's. Don't have the beer battered fish and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce. The fish was grey tasteless and the batter was hard and looked like it had been deep fried at least three times, The mushy peas were fluorescent green and looked like they came out of a tin from a budget supermarket and there was enough vinegary tartare sauce in my ramekin for at least six people.

Stayed at the hotel adjoining The Poachers on a Saturday night. Felt a bit sorry for the man behind the bar as he was on his own and the place was pretty busy. But all credit to him, he was really quick and really friendly despite being rushed off his feet. The building is really nice, lots of TVs if you like watching the football. The only reason I'm giving this a three rating is because the food wasn't the best. The prices are good, but I had the chicken burger which was overcooked and dry and my partner had the veggie jalfrezi which was a little bland.Would love to try it again as the atmosphere was nice and hopefully the food will be a little better next time.

A sign by the main road led us over a little bridge completely by chance, to the Poachers. Friday lunchtime crowd with business couples and office lunchers by no means filled the pub and the service was comfortably run by a manager and a young lady. We ordered drinks and a sharing bbq style platter. The young lady was helpful over the choice of local ale and size of the platter and friendly and patient with my changes of mind! The food was a delightful surprise, and we shared sticky wings, skewers of chicken and chorizo, bbq ribs and a neat portion of fried thin cut sweet potato. It went down a treat with a pint of Hobgoblin. We were only passing through but I'm in Henley-on-Thames a fair bit and I'd love to return and give the menu a proper going over.

Have been to the Poachers twice in past few months - once between Christmas and New Year when it was very quiet, the second time being last Friday Lunchtimewhen it was definitely busier.Food has been fantastic both times. Waiting time for food has been good. Regular pub food just done a little better. Staff were polite and chatty on both occasionsI can imagine it gets very busy when there are big sporting events on - there are several large TV's but lunchtime was perfect

We tried the Sunday Family Feast and what a feast it turned out to be. Gorgeous roast chicken, gravy, duck fat roast potatoes, buttery green veg, roast onions and carrots. And then we had the most delectable plum and apple crumble with homemade custard. Couldn't have done it better had I done it myself! Thanks guys! We'll be back next week.

The Poachers is an attractive old building backing on to the river and the Mill House Hotel in Sindlesham. The menu is what you would expect, usual pub stuff, with a couple of attractive options such as warm chicken salad (with crispy herbed potatoes, chorizo and a crumbed poached egg). Pie of the day (chicken and leak) was tasty inside but over cooked pastry top and a gammon steak was thin and quite dry. There is a slim range of beers with a better selection of lagers. Plenty of screens if you want to watch the football (which wasn't attracting many people at all when I was there). All in all it's not bad, but equally I can't help feeling it could also be a lot better. Won't be rushing back, but might go again if in the area. For the summer, shame there isn't a seating area by the river instead of using that as a bin store.

I'm guessing we were the only people who didn't visit to watch football, I lost count of the screens on every wall. for us we like to eat out in more quaint places. the building itself is great and little corners and bay windows to sit in as a group or couple. but the top 10 music videos and live football is a million miles from where we are. as we were staying at the hotel we had been pointed in the direction by staff there. The food was good but the staff were very variable. There are obviously a lot of people who like this type of pub and for them I'm sure its great but for us we wont be back.

Walking up to the bar to order food to be told that there would be a minimum half hour wait due to a Christmas party next door didn't really bode well, but hell, ok, I'm in no hurry.When I asked, "Are you warning me not to order food because the wait will be longer ?", the bratty little girl behind the bar got aggressive with me, for no apparent reason. I placed my order, thanked her and went and sat down.As it turned out the food arrived in just 15 minutes.But there was a reason for that.It was a chicken-burger and was not cooked properly......(see photo), but I only discovered this about half way through.When I told the waitress, she came back (without the plate of food) and said, "all the chefs have inspected it and said that it's fine and that as long as it is the same colour all the way through, it's cooked".And with that, she walked off.I've attached the photo, so you make up your own mind.Oh - when I left, the stroppy waitress was smoking in plain sight in the car park - no wonder the bar stank of smoke.the worst service and the worst food of 2016. Nice one.

Next door to the Best Western Moat House Hotel, just a very short walk away over the bridge.Pub has good surrounding, beams and flag floors. Wells real ale, in good order.Ordered the burger from the menu. Bun was extremely dry which spoil it. Otherwise a pleasant experience.Unusually live music on every other Saturdays.

It's local and within walking distance. Show all the footy and does ok pub grub lunch times and evenings. Nice for a drink and you can sit out in the warmer months. Food service a bit slow on Friday/Saturday nights

The bar staff were very attentive, and friendly. They were swift with clearing our table and made us feel very welcome. There was a young waitress on shift who's customer service was exceptional, and who you could feel at ease talking with. looking on the receipt her name was hannah Beasley(?). I haven't visited this pub in years because I felt staff were rude and acted as if our visit was an inconvenience to them (at 1pm on a Saturday...) but now I can see that has changed and will defiantly be back as well as recommend to friends and family.

Not Impressed I had been to this pub once before but not to eat so thought I'd take my partner there for a meal. We sat at a nice round table in the window bay as it was tucked away from everyone else watching the football and placed our food order, when the food was bought over it looked reheated and was so dry I had to use half a bottle of ketchup. Half way through our meal a member of staff; who I can only assume as the supervisor or shift leader, interrupted us and asked if the table had been reserved which we replied no, and then we were asked if we wouldn't mind moving which left us shocked as we were in the middle of our dinner. The lady then told us to finish our dinner and then move to another table. She said I have reserved a table round the corner for, upon viewing this table it seemed to be joined with a group of men watching the football and was just 2 chairs at the end of there table, completely unacceptable. We couldn't believe we had been disturbed through our meal to move due to a mistake on there behalf. We felt like we were being rushed, watched and pushed out and our custom not appreciated. As a managing director of a large Food cooperation in the U.K. the service I received in this pub wouldn't be out of place at faulty towers. My partner also has work connections to the connected hotel and she will not be recommending it due to her experience. This has left us with a terrible impression of this pub and would take a lot of convincing to visit here again. If I was you I'd stay away from this pub with there rude staff, terrible service and horrific dry un-tasteful food.

We have been occasional visitors to Poachers at lunch time, sitting outside in the summer and inside later in the autumn.The food has always been great, service friendly and prices decent.Our most recent visit was with the dog and he was welcomed with a clean bowl of water.Our favourite for an unplanned local lunch. Thank you.

Have been many times, food usually very good. Waitress Kaya was lovely - friendly & helpful. Only down side the 'wine offer' we were using did not include my preferred dry rose so we had a dry white instead.

My wife and I saw an advert on our local community group saying this establishment was doing very good fish and chips for take away. On the group site people were saying this cost £7:50 each for fish&chips but you had to order in advance. My wife wife placed an order and on the other end of the phone it sounded like an old lady taking the order, she was very abrupt and wasn’t listening to what was being asked and just kept talking over what my wife was trying to ask. Anyway we eventually placed our order. When we arrived to pick it up my wife went into the side entrance and went to pay, the old lady was quite rude and said it was £8:50 each, when my wife said that on the local page it everyone was saying £7:50. She just brushed it off and said she didn’t know about that, my wife only had £15 in cash and as we had only ordered for 2 this is all she had. There were dogs running around the area as well not very hygienic. The price appears to change depending on who you are as my wife went back to the local group and the members are still saying they pay £7:50. First and last time using this pub takeaway the fish and chips were a small portion for the price.

Lovely place, looks fab since the refurb, amazing outdoor space, so much seating areas. Staff were friendly and welcoming, only reason I have given 3 star is because myself and my husband ordered the tex mex sharer which was supposed to have sweet chilli sauce but instead came drizzled with the ipa hot sauce meaning my husband who dislikes spicy food couldn't eat it. We did check the menu which definatley stated sweet chilli sauce. Unfortunatley we didn't have time to send back and reorder as it was a quick stop half way through a long journey and we needed to move on to avoid bad traffic. Other than that small disappointment the place is lovely and we would still return.

Great place Much improved Lovely new landlords Would never have gone here before due to it's reputation but heard it was refurbished and had clean beer and glasses and no longer full of unsociable types. A credit to Wokingham If they can get a menu going it will be the making of the place. Regardless, a good place for a drink and a game of pool now.

Went for a Sunday roast, the staff were nice, the atmosphere was good but the food was terrible! Probably the worst Sunday roast we’ve had with no taste and not great quality for the price! Unfortunately I don’t think we’d go back again…
