   We had a wonderful lunch on Sunday 19th Jan with a table of 8 including 4 children. We hadn’t visited the Baskerville before and it looked like a lovely place to meet old friends. The staff were delightful and accommodating, it is a beautiful convivial space and the general ambience was welcoming and warm. I would highly recommend! Food was generous and delicious, the roasts were a highlight and we would definitely visit again.

   The food is okay enough, tasty & reliable. It’s not modern gastropub food you can get, but it’s certainly good value, in a very nice pub with a nice team.

   This is a classical local pub, good basic pub food, good service and atmosphere. It’s reasonably priced too.

   Excellent Quiz night. We didn’t have the full meal experience. Instead we had pizza and garlic bread, which was fantastic.

   Food for the most part was nice , but the fish was a tad greasy some of the chips were hard like they weren’t cooked though, my first cup of coffee was Lukewarm which they did replace. The Pub had very nice decor and was clean and comfortable I found the staff to be not as attentive as in other places I’ve been, I had to get up and go to bar a few times to ask for sauces etc

   The pub lack overall control. Head waiter/ front of house needed. Very poor service. Had to get up from the table to order drinks, wines so many times. Slow on food service. First few starters arrived, then a delay. Had to ask for the three other guests ! Run by a young team who prefer to chat all at the bar then concentrate on service. Average food presentation.

   Great pub , lovely food and friendly helpful staff . Disappointing we couldn’t walk in to Henley via river as Thamas pathway was closed , but had a very pleasant train ride from ship lake only a few minutes from pub , and a 5 min trip . Great location , def worth a visit .

   Wanted a pub with a good choice of lunch food. A lot of the Henley area has gone what all call a bit “poncy”. The Baskerville is a clean, modern pub with a good car park and they serve no nonsense traditional food and all the better for it. Food was beautifully presented, tasty and plentiful. Wanted somewhere local to eat lunch with a reasonable choice of food but traditional and The Baskerville definitely ticked all the boxes. Will definitely eat here again.

    This pub has had a good refurbishment. My first course a prawn cocktail was one of the best I've had. Similar with the Apple crumble. Proper crumble on top not out of a packet. Maincourse was a steak which was edible but could've been so much better if the pub had bought their meat from the local butcher which is 50 yards away instead of getting a catering company to supply.
