| Massively different to how it used to be as it was extended and extensively refurbished in 2023 having resisted an attempt to convert it into housing. There is now has a bar, a 122 seater brasserie and a 92 seater terrace and gone are the days when it was one of the more basic pubs in Henley. We went on Friday evening when it was full of diners but not many of them seemed to be real ale drinkers as the only choice seemed to be Wye Valley's Butty Bach at £5.50 a pint. We enjoyed ourselves although I was slightly sad to see how much it had changed but that's progress for you! paul_d102 - 1 Feb 2026 14:34 |
| A nice pub but visit has been spoiled on a few occasions by terrible language from some customers drinking at the bar. Don't take your kids there! Food only average and the cheesecake was memorable by its awfulness... definitely the worst ever. Overall though the staff are friendly and the beer is good so if you want a few beers with the lads this is a nice pub to start at. My last visit was in May 2012. zzardy - 4 Jul 2012 18:05 |

| A very friendly welcoming traditional pub with good basic food at reasonable prices. JLWilliams - 21 Sep 2009 11:24 |
| A brick and whire rendered exterior, with a beer patio. The interior is open plan, with the beam, wood panel and white wall look and some nice wooden seating. The floor is a mix of wood and carpet and there are old pictures dotted about on the walls. I agree with the other poster, it is more of a pub than some on the High St, with friendly service and a good, if more maturer clientele. Beer; usual stuff, with Highgate MILD on keg. There were two handpulls, with Batemans XB bitter and Banks's MILD. The Batemans was fine, the Banks's MILD didnt seem to taste of Banks's. I liked this place. More a place i would go with mates, rather than the Bluebell. Archivist - 10 Aug 2009 13:16 |
