Henley's only family-run genuine free house is a friendly one bar local, popular with regulars and visitors alike. The large, secure garden, very popular in summer, has an aviary and a pond. The three guest beers often come from local microbreweries, but may be sourced from anywhere. TVs show sporting events and the pub is home to darts and cribbage teams and hosts regular quiz nights.

Hosts live music three or four times a year - check their Facebook page for details.

No real fire but has a fake woodburner that looks realistic.

South Oxfordshire CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2008, 2010, 2014, 2016 and 2020.
