"We came to see Coda, but ended up with Letz Zep our first visit to this little pub. The food was ok and the event itself was reasonable even though it was raining and the tents leaked plus the lead singer should have given up a long time ago ! Whlie I initially liked the village pub feel almost like my own village so the wobbly tables and broken bits I just viewed as quirky it quickly became clear there were some weird policies. The website said we must call and book our car parking in advance so we did, only to be told we didn 't need to at all so why put it on the website? . The loo downstairs, which I was directed to in the intermission, was really gross brown water in the loo and baby changing right next to it. Definitely needs a good clean, as did the ladies inside I was glad to be at an event outside tbh. The food also had to be ordered in advance and the website said must be paid for in cash although on the night they said that too was not the case and we could pay by card again, why put it on the website? . Then I tried to buy a glass of wine to go with my £8 potatoe no salad, no garnish at all and was told I must buy a whole bottle for £23. I 've only come across that policy at the big exploitative 80s festivals and was quite shocked. When I queried I was told I 'd have fun if I drank a whole bottle and if not I could complain to the landlady. I declined to do that at the time, choosing instead to feedback via email, privately. I duly sent an emailI and then responsded to theirs saying please let us know should the policy change. The next day I received yet another email, tis time from the landlady, telling me basically that I should have come to see her at the time and why I was incorrect in my feedback. I replied, because all the reasons she gave for not selling wine by the glass made no actual logial sense, esp because they weren 't applied to any other measures of alcohol ... I then received a very long email from the landlord accusing me of sending long tiresome emails and telling me how in the wrong I am and that they obviously cannot placate me. Sadly it 's evidently that this is our pub and if you like it you 're welcome, but if you give us any feedback we don 't agree with, then you are an unreasonable customer! . A great shame that feedback is received so unprofessionally and the overreaction was so rude, especially considering selling wine by the glass and bottle is entirely normal, and boxes of wine actually work our cheaper . A pretty dismal night has become a very negative experience for me, and I 'm reminded yet again not to bother trying to feedback privately it 's not appreicated should have just written this review to begin with."

Excellent menu take a look! It's ethically sourced too with numerous awards. Incredible landlord, great interior, vast range of drinks on tap see the website! Starters were delicious and large and I look forward to coming back when I/we can :

Whether you want great food (especially if you have special dietaryrequirements), a wide selection of locally brewed beers, great gigs, friendly staff, somewhere to walk your dog from or just a quiet drink in a lovely environment this pub is perfect

went with a large (paid in advance) pre-arranged group-the food was ok, but the attitude was next scale rude- our group arrived 2.30pm weds and were thrown out by 4pm as they said the pub was closing -all of us agree that we wouldnt voluntarily return

Waited 40 minutes for a very simple food order. Drinks order (also not complicated) was misunderstood twice. Place seemed to be run by teenagers out of their depth. When I chased the food, I was told they were really really busy, but there were not many people in the pub and most weren't eating. Pub had also inexplicably run out of peas Disappointing. Will not be coming back

I visited with booked party of 12 walkers. On the positive side, the pub is wonderfully quirky, the beer excellent and there were three local ales. The various food we 'd ordered was disappointing. Some reported that gujons and fish cakes were overcooked (though the accompanying chips were rated highly) . Others had ordered ciabatta . These arrived as large rather dry white bread rolls. Not great. Since the establishment is multi award winning, I guess we 'd picked a bad day. The pub has live music evenings which certainly be worth sampling with pint.

Lovely, quirky, kooky pub with nice selection of drinks and selection of vegan and veggie options. We hadn’t been here before, but wrongly had expectations that it would be quite “posh”, perhaps even pretentious, but this wasn’t at all the case. Very quirky and fun interior with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Only slight critique I’d offer is perhaps a super salad style main as a vegan options, but that’s very nit picky! The pizzas are massive and delicious! I’m really glad that pubs like this still exist. Support! Definitely recommend coming here and in fact we already have planned on returning to see some live music in the near future!

Came for Motorhome stop over and WOW What a fantastic pub with the best garden for Live Music..Saw Led Zeppelin tribute band. Everything is set up in the garden beer tent/ food tent, shelters to keep you dry thank you for them as it was raining cats dogs all night. Must have been 200+ people, top quality set up with the most amazing sound. Great food beer. So well organised. Hats off to the owners. We'll definitely be back. In fact next Saturday for The Original Rock Band Flint Moore. Followed by Elton, Fleetwood Mac David Bowie Tributes coming up we want to come to all seeing what we've already missed starting Gigs In The Garden in May gutted we didn't come across you sooner we'll definitel...

My theme for this review would be 'Duck 's off ' given our group of 12 pre-ordered but the duck salad had disappeared off the menu before our booking date arrived. I declined to order a replacement as I found the limited choice of four starters (normally my favourite part of eating out) was not to my taste. Maybe a starter with prawns in it would be a good addition or fried breaded brie to provide more alternatives? This choice was reduced further when on arrival we were informed that due to a supply not arriving that day 'Thai fish cake is off '. The owner was very good at suggesting gluten free alternatives. I did stifle a ;laugh when somebody ordered a Pimm 's and was told there was no Pi...

"We usually love coming to Cafe Rouge in Henley, always a treat for us and we are always looking forward to it. However the most recent visit was awful and it’s been going downhill over our last coupes of visits. We booked a table for my father in laws birthday. Upon being seated, we were informed that 3 of the main course dishes were unavailable.. pretty much half of the ‘mains’ options. We don’t come to Cafe Rouge for Burgers or salad! We opted for 3 portions of Mussels as had them here before and they’re very good! Mother in law just had pate as there was nothing else she wanted. These were possibly the worst mussels we’ve ever had. You could tell they weren’t fresh (cooked from frozen for sure) and there was barely any sauce in the pot! Usually they are flavourful and abundant in sauce! No check back was performed by the manager on duty..it was a quiet Monday so wasn’t exactly run off his feet. So we couldn’t alert him. Even upon clearing we weren’t ask how our meal was! Just asked if we had finished. We decided to mention they were awful to which the manager told us he would inform the kitchen. When he came back to finish clearing, my partner asked if they were frozen or fresh mussels, to which the manager replied yes, they are frozen. Wasn’t expecting that but you could totally tell! They tasted like cardboard! We had a coffee and a pudding and to be fair to the manager he didn’t charge us for one portion of mussels and the coffees we ordered. The Bill was certainly not worth what we had. Didn’t leave a tip, which we never normally do, but the service was non existent. Manager was more interested in what was on his phone. Won’t be rushing back"
