Wychwood’s Bountiful

September's guest ale is Bountiful, by Wychwood.   It’s a quite dark chestnut ale, fruity and biscuity – rich, sweet and malty. It’s on tap throughout September so come on in and sup a seasonal pint or two.

Road Closure Over

And the news just in:  the road north of us has now re-opened. Hurrah!

So, access is fully restored, whichever direction you're coming from. We've spaces for diners over the weekend so do come along and have a relaxed bank holiday meal with us.

(And to celebrate the road being open, we'll have a special "Open Road" menu for three days next week - 3 courses for £11.50, lunch and dinner)

See you soon.

Road Closure! Complete With Special Menu!

Oxfordshire County Council have decided to close the road near the pub from the 5th August, for "approximately" 12 days. (The work is to stop the road from flooding, hopefully.)

What they haven't bothered to tell everyone is that access from the Henley side is absolutely fine - the road works will only block access from the north side.

So, if you’re coming from the north (e.g. from Sonning Common), you can always just park in the lane and walk the last few yards to the pub, or you can loop around and come to us via Henley. If you need more help or directions, don’t hesitate to call - 01491 628400. And don’t forget the web site has links to road and Ordnance Survey maps.

 To, ahem, 'celebrate' the Council's help with things, we're offering a special 'Road Closure Menu' – two courses for just £11.50!

To start, pick from:

• Soup of the Day with Crusty Bread 
• Deep Fried Devilled Whitebait 
• Flat Field Mushrooms and Garlic on Toast 

And to follow the choices are:

• Chef's Fish Pie with Salmon, Smoked Haddock and Prawns 
• Crispy Chilli Beef with Stir fried Noodles and Sweet Chilli Sauce 
• Pea and Ham Risotto with Parmesan Shavings 

This special offer menu is available for both lunch and dinner, Monday-Thursday inclusive, from the 5th August. We hope there are a few combinations there to tempt you!

August's Ale: Ringwood Brewery’s Bold Forester

This month's guest ale is Bold Forester. We can't describe it any better than the official tasting notes, which say: "Bold Forester has an attractive amber hue, a smooth biscuity malt character and a crisp dry finish. It has a bold and beautifully balanced hop bitterness and a fine fresh aroma." So there you have it – if beer's your tipple, come and see what you think. It's on tap throughout August.
