The Victoria, Henley-on-Thames

What a nice surprise - used to be a bit of the ugly sister of Henley but has now blossomed into a friendly pub with an eclectic selection of drinks, a specialist pie menu (not tried) and a friendly crowd of locals.

Forms and interesting trio of pubs in a very small area with the Row Barge and the Brew Hse - something for everyone.

The Catherine Wheel, Henley-On-Thames

Double-sized Spoons, pleasant outdoor area, all the usual suspects beer and cider-wise, dirt cheap food and drink by Henley standards, what's not to like? Well, my main gripe is the staff who seem to either be trainees on their first day (not a problem, but on a busy Summer weekend?) or are utterly dis-interested in serving anyone.

We stayed here, rooms good value and if you've been here before you know to either bring your headphones or embrace the noise by staying in the bar until 1.00AM.

The Bull, Henley-on-Thames

Watched England win the Rugby World cup in here in 2003, since then has undergone many incarnation including being shut for long periods.

Currently the Bull is as much restaurant as pub, Symonds cider quaffed in the front part of the building was very pleasant and toe-curlingly expensive.
