The best restaurants in South Oxfordshire South East

I had pizza and my husband had pasta. Both dishes were delicious. We were welcomed with a big smile. Would definitely recommend.

My friend and I went for afternoon tea for her birthday as we live relatively local but not been there before. It was so delightful and everything was delicious. Lovely sandwiches, quiche, sausage rolls, cakes and fabulous scones. There was so much choice and a lot to get through and needless to say we were beaten. We were offered little boxes to take the uneaten goodies home. The table was laid beautifully and everything was perfect and made us feel special. My only advice is to pre-book as there are only 3 tables inside plus it will give the proprietor a chance to prepare for you.

Lovely visit with a friend to sit out and have coffee during Bunkfest. Unbelievable rudeness from another customer towards the staff who were gracious and tolerant where to eject him would have been entirely appropriate and reasonable. Instead they returned his money as an act of goodwill. Everyone who witnessed this was appalled by how awful he was. Such a lovely cafe!

Exceptional food and service. Amazing drinks. I am so sad that Georgia is leaving Oxford! I would love to go back.

Fantastic meal. Service excellent. Restaurant immaculate. Can't fault this place. Would highly recommend. Cannot wait to go again.

Really friendly, welcoming people run this coffee bar. The coffee is brewed to perfection. The tea is strong and flavoursome. The toasted sandwiches are filled to the brim and very tasty. The cakes are moist and delicious. The outlook is pleasant due to the flowers and plants. The atmosphere, cosy and inviting. They also serve ice cream, toasties, waffles, and smoothies. The ice creams in waffle cones are amazing. The ice cream goes right down to the bottom, so every bite is a delight. This is a place we visit time and again. It comes very highly recommended indeed.

Great chippy. The owner and his family are lovely. If it isn't busy they cook everything to order. Big portions, nicely cooked food. Good thick bits of fish. Definitely the best chippy in Henley.

Good food good service quick for a good medium priced lunch Not too busy so one could talk Quality of food great what more could you want

We recently booked Durban Spice for a private dining experience. First off the ease and communication from Shabs was first class. On the evening, the welcome to us and the rest of our guests was super warm and friendly. Sarah did an excellent job of hosting us and accommodating to all ensuring we all felt at ease. The food was literally incredible, the flavours were even better than the food back home in Durban. Sarah & Shabs did a great job explaining the dishes, their story and how they come to get that real true Durban flavour and spice. Thank you so much, it made for a wonderful evening and our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. If you are looking for not just amazing food but a true South African dining experience don’t hesitate to book. 🇿🇦🍾🙏🏼

Henley needs wonderful little independent shops like this. We're so lucky to have them. You generally get what you pay for and this is certainly the case here. Worth every penny and the service is always warm and friendly too. Try their hot chocolate on a cold wintry day!

I always make a point of visiting Bruin Cafe when I am in the Oxford area, often taking long detours just to get there! I must have popped in 30 times now. Quite simply, it has the best coffee, pastries and light snacks that you will find in a Cafe, anywhere! The salt beef bagel is ridiculously good (and when the guy from the kitchen serves it, you can see he knows how good it is!). The staff are great and clearly passionate about their business and now they have expanded, there is seating too. Well played guys, first class job, looking forward to the next 30 visits...

Absolutely amazing Sunday dinner! Service was great. Thank you Glyn! Could not fault anything! Will definitely be back again!

We were lucky to find this gem - lovely place to visit ! Everyone was so friendly- we enjoyed bacon rolls in the cafe and treated ourselves to lots of treats in the shop ! I would recommend a visit - please support this community shop & cafe !

Fabulous pizza in the garden of the Catherine Wheel pub. Crispy thin base with lots of choice of toppings.

Our cycling group of 15 called in for lunch on a Sunday. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was excellent and arrived swiftly with a smile. They even apologised for a non existent delay in getting the food to us.
