Popped in for lunch, hadn’t booked a table and managed to get a table in the courtyard at the rear of the restaurant. Wide variety of food available. Beer menu was a little restricted with not many lagers. Staff were all very friendly and approachable. I had the pizza and it was absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend the venue and the food.

We came here on a very dull and rainy afternoon for lunch and it was still rather busy, so assume it is a locals favourite. Service was with a friendly smile and was swift and efficient. Some excellent choices of drinks as well as food, something for everyone, the half hungry or starving! Decent non alcoholic drinks / beers for the drivers of this world which was nice! Opted for the fresh plaice and deer steak both succulent and perfectly cooked and proportions were perfect. Prices on par with others in the area, all very clean and spacious, there are a lot of decent eateries in Henley but this one is in definitely in the top half.

We came here today as a large group of 11 plus 2 babies and the lovely staff accommodated us. The service was excellent and the food was so delicious. I had roast beef followed by sticky toffee pudding. I would definitely eat here again.

Absolutely flawless experience! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was spot-on, and the pricing was excellent for the quality offered. There was a very minor hiccup (the kind that could happen anywhere), but it was handled with such professionalism and care by the General Manager. Truly impressive service—thank you!

It was a delightful experience! Despite not having a booking, we were warmly welcomed and seated in their lovely garden, which had a charming and relaxed atmosphere. The service was friendly and attentive. The menu offers a great variety, from starters to mains, including pizza, grill options, and desserts. We opted for burgers and beer, and they did not disappoint—everything was delicious. Hart Street Tavern is a fantastic spot for a leisurely lunch, whether you're looking for a casual bite or something more substantial. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!
