The best restaurants in Henley South South Oxfordshire South East

Friendly staff, good beer, clean pipes and as someone relatively new to the area I found the locals welcoming and friendly too, a good place for a pint and a chat

Very helpful people. Great service. Asked for advice on their menu for vegan options and they were very happy to show me all I needed and turns out there was a lot for vegans :) will be back

We were staying in the area. Did a quick search for Indian takeaway. Wow, superb service and honestly amazing food. Hope to try again when in the area. Highly recommend, great quality and great value.

Was on a day trip in Henley and bumped into this place. Did not have time to read reviews and rgeret it- multiple people reported FOOD POISONING before. The price was high, so I thought heis would be a real good quality sish kebab. I ordered lamb shish - very small portio with the seller trying to sell extras. Ok. The SHAME IS - because these people really can make an unburned tasty shish - unlike so many places. It looked perfct - not burned and appetising when made. Sadly had a very severe food poisoning after and this very evening was sick for the next few days. Hygiened control should visit more often and make rigorous checks!

Visited twice this week. It’s a wonderful place with friendly staff. That’s why it gets so busy! There’s an area to work if you want, and an area upstairs with toddler books and toys as well as games you can rent for an hour or two. The coffee used to be lovely but I think they must be buying a different brand because this is foul - really bitter with a nasty aftertaste. It may be, of course, that the water is tainted (Thames Water have been adding more chlorine lately to overcome traces of sewage in the tap water) or that the machine is due for a clean. Whatever it is, I hope the coffee goes back to what it used to be! As I say, I visited twice this week and, both times, the coffee was awful. The cakes are quite delightful and the quiche I had yesterday was light and fluffy.

I have known this cosy little pub for about 40 years and over that time it has not changed one little bit, right down to the outdoor gents' toilets. It's a traditional old Brakspear's pub and very much a village local although it is located a little outside the main Frieth village (from Lane End, turn right at the crossroads just before entering the main village). Breakspear's pub company split from its brewery several years ago and sadly, and short-sightedly, the brewery's current owners, Carlsberg-Marston's have decided to close the Oxfordshire brewery and although they will no doubt continue to produce a Brakspear branded product elsewhere, it is unlikely to remain the beer we've known and loved for many years. Back to the pub, it is, first and foremost, a wet led pub, food being very much secondary here. So please don't come with any big food expectations and you won't be disappointed. Simple food is served lunchtimes only with the menu on a blackboard, so it may change a bit, but at the time of our visit the food offering was Fish & chips, Scampi & chips plus a small range of sandwiches. Our food was all perfectly prepared with friendly and efficient service. The main thing about this pub is to come and enjoy the timeless atmosphere with friendly locals dropping in with their dogs, sitting around and chatting around the open fire, an experience which is fast disappearing from today's pub scene.

Travelled for 3 hours on a Thursday to Henley and found a fab looking place on the side of the river, the board outside said food and drink served all day. We went in and were told it's only all day on a Friday, so we left, no food, no drink. Please change your boards outside!

Quality food and great service provided by very polite staff. Easy to order on website . The delivery lad was just as charming .

Visited with friends before covid restrictions were lifted. It was still up to 6 outside. Owners asked a group of 12, known to the pub, to quieten down but didn't care that they were all crammed onto one garden table/bench. The group were practically encouraged to carry on. I lost a friend to covid. Shame not everyone takes health rules seriously

Friendly staff, the owner made me feel very welcome and the coffee was fantastic, also the seating area is perfect to just watch the world go by.

WE had our Grandkids with us for the day and went to Henley.Called into Costa in the afternoon (1/6/24) before heading home, for coffee,tea and cakes but it was shambolic.....the staff were either unattentive or didn't understand english,or were inept at their jobs.Many people hanging around for drinks they'd ordered which hadn't materialised,us included and staff being constantly reminded by customers of what they were waiting for!....won't be going back!

What a joke of a place I paid £5.2 for a portion of cheesy chips and got a small and when I asked about this the lady on the phone said a small portion of chips is £1.45 I think so they charged me £3.29 for cheese and I also ordered coleslaw and they went to the one stop shop and charged me £3.25 which is ridiculous and the rest of my order I received was cold and they wouldn’t refund or offer to redo my order so £40 gone down the drain I do not recommend
