Lovely old pub in the former red light district. The landlady is a real charmer. I felt like I had jumped back in time 50 years.

A Ramshackle pub of character, maybe not to everyone's taste, has a 'lived in' feel to it. Friendly staff and the Brakspear's Oxford Gold was very nice.
|
Not the most expensive boozer by far, £3.00 a pint to be honest.The most welcoming pub without a doubt and a really lovely beer garden aswell, almost like sitting in someone's private back garden! 8/10
|
The only pub in Henley where you are guaranteed a seat and a nice quiet pint on a weekend evening.
Why? Because its about the most expensive boozer in town. A pint, a large glass of wine, and a bag of finest S&V came to about 9 quid!
Still - you cant fault the atmosphere and its always nice and cosy during the winter. The only modern thing about this pub are the london prices.

darrendrinker I think you're confusing this with the Angel on the Bridge. The Anchor does not have a garden overlooking the Thames.
|
Nice beer garden looking over the Thames but £3.40 a pint for Kronenburg
|
It's Horses for courses. I think the landlord and lady of this pub are wonderful as are the staff. Good beer, good garden and tasty food.

I did notice that they were looking for a new franchisee a few months back so presumably the nasty landlady has gone... a decent pub and worth a visit.

I love the inside of this pub, full of trinkets and bottles and all sorts hanging from the walls and ceiling HOWEVER the landlady is very rude. On the three occasions I have been there (the last time being 2 years back) my visit has been spoiled by comments (once of a homophobic nature) made by her to me and the friends I've been with. I hope they now have a new person managing the place because I won't be back until they do. There's a cosy little room at the back which leads on to a quaint pub garden. It's a shame she feels the need to behave like this because she spoils what is a really nice public house.

A real Pub Pub serving the best Brakspears in town.Friendly Landlord who soon makes strangers feel like locals! Will certainly be back when next in Henley for a longer session.

Just a word of warning for you ladies (or gentlemen) out there that drink 'white wine and soda'. This pub (unlike most others) charges for it's soda water, however instead of it being dispensed from the drinks gun, they serve theirs by the bottle.It was the smallest bottle of soda water I had seen and was charged £1.20 for it.
You're better off going round the corner to the Wetherspoons pub where they serve their soda water for FREE !!!

Nice little quaint little pub. With a nice big placid chocolate labrador. One of the best pubs in Henley. A locals local but still quite friendly.
|
Comfortable, friendly pub. Two real ales: Brakspear Special and Hook Norton Mild. The staff are happy to serve ramblers; there's a bootscraper behind the door if your boots are muddy.
|
A proper low-ceilinged public house. It has a farting labrador (chocolate brown, no less) and a lazy pub cat. Roaring fires in winter, rosy-cheeked ramblers, and local poachers. The staff rapidly spot the locals at the bar, and it's always possible to strike up a conversation with anyone at the bar. A proper 'local' with all the good and bad that goes with it. Highly recommended, especially when the landlord is offering pheasants on the cheap!
