Over priced for the portion sizes, very good service and the food was very nice - just way overpriced, but then this is Henley! Party of loud women sat next to us at which time it was time to leave the restaurant for the bar as there was a live singer coming on. Regretted that option as it couldn’t have been any worse… karaoke would have sounded better! Do not go for the live music unless you like crucifying your ears to a 60+ year old man who definitely cannot sing and plays 2 keyboards whilst attempting it! It was so bad we were laughing as we ran out of there! They also ran out of Guinness on a Saturday night around 9pm, so not good. We will not be returning, which is a shame as I only live around the corner.

Fantastic evening, fantastic food and highly attentive staff. Forgot to mention the wines as you would expect for a South African restaurant they were incredible. This is a must for meat lovers when you are in Henley

A pleasant place perhaps lacking in atmosphere midweek and when no live music on. Great, friendly staff and good food and portions without being outstanding. Very nice wine from the Hof vineyard.
