A Guide to British Restaurants and Cuisine

This is under new management and I completely acknowledge they have only just assumed command but the experience we had on Saturday did leave a little to be desired. The service was quite there. The food wasn’t available and what was left wasn’t up to scratch. I hope to see this place back in full flow soon as it is still very busy and I wish the new owners the best of luck.

Excellent food as always, the best in town!

This is a beautiful place and the staff are great as well as there being excellent parking and facilities outside for the kids. There is a nice bar and a nice restaurant where the food is a little American-centric for us but otherwise pretty good. It is a mishmash of everything, in that there are wine glasses on every table but it is also a family place. It has a nice fir in winter and TVs for the sport. I think that is why I am giving it three stars, It needs to decide what it is. If it was a little more family friendly, without the TVs and the bar was less of a feature we would prefer that, but they might have to sacrifice a few locals drinking there. I think that would be worth it as they have so many families around them. They do also have the most beautiful barmaid for some distance which is a bonus to my brother when he comes, so it is for the public to decide. I think if more families used it, they would adjust and it would be a better place.

I was here with my friend a few weeks ago and we had an excellent meal. The starter was first class, I think mine was a seafood salad with delicious walnut and other additions, and for main course we both had the pork with dauphinoise. It was delectable and a real treat. The wine was excellent and the staff were attentive and understanding as we left later than most. A really lovely retreat if you want to get away from it all in the car without going too far.

This Portuguese restaurant has been very successful and has lived long and they do make an effort to change things and server quality food all-round. The setting is perfect for the middle of Henley and we always enjoy going for a drink in Summer or food at any time of the year!
