sara1709 said in February 2019: "Popped into Henley in Arden for a trip out, decided to have lunch, was passing and just went in, we hadn’t booked. The staff were very accommodating, as we hadn’t booked we could eat in the bar, which we were fine with. They had a lovely fire going and a table facing it was perfect for us. We chose the lamb roast and it came out swiftly, it was hot and plentiful. I asked for more gravy which wasn’t a problem at all. The food was delicious. We were full so didn’t order a dessert but had a cappuccino instead, it came with a little bite size piece of sticky toffee pudding on the side, which was delicious, as was the coffee. It was very reasonably priced, £18 for a roast, a drink and coffee. The staff were great too, I would highly recommend this place."
