Summary
A “lovely” thatched pub serving a “short but excellent menu” of food “up to the standards of a London restaurant” – owners Alex Sergeant and David Holloway, graduates of stellar Fulham gastroboozer the Harwood Arms, have put their know-how to excellent effect in south Oxfordshire. “It manages to retain the atmosphere of a village pub while offering very high-quality dining” – “locals still use it for a drink”. Two years down the track, the pair have opened their second venue, Hart Street Tavern, in nearby Henley-on-Thames. Top Tip – “wonderful garden serving great pizzas from a huge pizza oven and drinks from a horsebox”.

Summary
“Meals start with amazing bread and continue on from there” at “the latest incarnation of this slightly out-of-the-way pub near Henley” – relaunched last year by Alex Sergeant & David Holliday who “have certainly brought the standards of the Harwood Arms [London’s No. 1 Pub in the Harden’s survey] to South Oxfordshire”. “Each dish is carefully presented with rich flavours and many lovely sauces”, and the selection includes “melting venison from just around the corner”. “The dining extension is very nice but still new” and “the whitewash and high ceilings can make it feel a tad sterile, but as the place fills up it becomes relaxed with the chatter of happy diners”.
Summary
“The Harwood touch arrives in South Oxfordshire” at this thatched pub just outside Henley run by two alumni of the famous Fulham hostelry (with a menu incorporating game from the Phillimore Estate) – “newly opened and off to a very promising start”.
