Restaurants in Henley-on-Thames
From a French brasserie by the theatre to Italian on the Market Place and dinner looking over the bridge, Henley punches well above its size for a night out. These are the places we would send a friend.
01 · Market Place
The Three Tuns
A small and characterful 14th-century pub on the Market Place, taken over in 2025 by Barry Wagner of Gabriel Machin, the butcher next door. The kitchen cooks the shop's own meat, with a changing Butcher's Board of cuts such as lamb cutlets and bavette, and the pub is listed in the Michelin Guide.

02 · Remenham
The Little Angel
A Grade II listed, mostly 18th-century pub just over Henley Bridge on the Remenham side. Its large courtyard garden borders Henley Cricket Club's ground, and the kitchen is known for steaks and a Sunday carvery. It reopened in June 2025 after a major refurbishment.

A Parisian-style brasserie on the corner of Bell Street and Hart Street, open since 2022 and serving French classics all day.

Piccolino Henley
An Italian restaurant in a Grade II listed building on the Market Place, which opened in June 2024. There are two bars, a courtyard that stays open through the colder months, a private dining room and an entrance from the river walk. With around 140 seats inside, it handles big tables well.

The Relais Henley
Henley's old coaching inn, dating from 1632, on the corner of Hart Street and Thameside. It is the first building you see as you cross the bridge into town. Long known as the Red Lion, it was renamed after new owners bought it in 2020 and gave it a £3 million refurbishment, and its Clipper Restaurant looks out over the bridge.
