This Grade II-listed village pub near Henley traces its roots to the 1700s and now works as a relaxed gastropub, with seasonal menus, a considered drinks list and a garden for warmer days. It sits a short walk from the Thames Path, so lunch slots neatly into a riverside stroll, or a wander up into the Chilterns just to the north-west.
