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.
