   We had a bit of a strange experience in that we were assigned a table inside that we were happy with, opted to go outside for a drink first and then our table was given away with no explanation or apology. We then had to wait 15 minutes at the bar for another table. The new table was right by a door which rattled every time a door closed or someone moved about which was very annoying. However, we did mention this and they apologised and wedged some card in to stop the rattle. The food was pretty good and service was very pleasant but the experience with the table meant I was on edge so didn’t enjoy it overall.

   We sat in the garden and had a delicious lunch from the set menu. Fresh and tasty and the bream was amazing. Very tranquil garden with lots of space and shade too as it was hot. This place never disappoints. Love it!

   Ben and Priya continue to improve both the creativity of the food and service quality. The Ambiance is cosy and quiet. It is not cheap but remains good value

   We went for a ladies birthday celebration and had the most delicious lunch. The set lunch is extremely good value, so good in fact we all had three courses! Service was attentive but not overbearing. Most definitely recommended and we will most definitely be back to try the a la carte menu which was mouth wateringly tempting

   We had a lovely afternoon at the Golden Ball, Henley. The staff were courteous and professional. The food was very good. I was able to enjoy two fine pints of Brakspears, Gravity. Which I like.
