"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"

"We’re local, we were turned away by a very snooty waitress at the barn, to what appeared to be a very empty barn, to be told they were only taking bookings (we’ve never had an issue with walkins before), in the meantime we tried to get a takeaway for the children in our party from the barn who were very hungry and getting restless, this was turned down too. We walked away, booked online for the pub (next door, same operators). Why wasn’t this open given to us… in the end we had to leave due to it taking too long to get seated by which point the children were far too hungry and we decided to leave for quicker food. We’ve taken many guest to the barn in the past and enjoyed the experience. Staff training needs improvement. We went to a pub in the centre of Henley in the end where nothing was too much trouble for them, offering a high chair and accommodating a last minute booking."

"Went here for a Sunday roast with family with high expectations given the menu prices. However, we all left feeling very disappointed and short-changed. Having all ordered the Sunday roast, we were served our plates of meat and vegetables for the table to share. The vegetables that we were served consisted of only 5 roast potatoes to be shared between the 4 of us, a small amount of cauliflower cheese, a few roasted root vegetables, and a small bowl of cabbage. I could maybe understand if the quality was very high. However, the 5 potatoes were deep-fat fried, and the rest of the food was below average. For over £25 per portion, we all felt very short-changed and left feeling we would have had a far better roast at a Toby Carvery. We have contacted them about this, and they accepted the service we received wasn't good enough, however, they don't seem interested in making amends, as they only offered a 10% discount for a future visit after we paid over £128 for 4 roast dinners and 4 soft drinks. Very disappointing experience."

"I can’t fault the staff and landlord I made them aware of my father in laws dementia and they were fantastic and kind. There’s a quirky atmosphere in the pub which was brilliant for my children who are into lego and Star Wars as there’s lots of memorabilia to look at and talk about Food lovely but the soup was tepid so could have been a bit warmer next time please Burgers, scampi, tuna nicoisse all lovely We will return definitely We sat inside which was perfect for us but the outside area looked lovely as well Thankyou for a lovely lunch"
