June 2025. Mick and Claire have taken over the Saracen's Head in Henley, and are currently keeping the Hare & Hounds open with reduced hours and no food, until new tenants are found.

Family run, traditional two bar local situated in the middle of the village. Fully refurbished in late 2018 the main bar is mainly laid out with tables and chairs, with the dart board now moved into the pool room. Two real fires keep the pub cosy in the colder months. The enclosed garden has a large covered seating area.
