Featured in the Good Pub Guide from 2006 - 2011
Same owner/operator since 2004 & voted Best Pub in Henley on Thames by Thames River Guide
2010 Good Pub Guide entry says:
Relaxed linked contemporary areas plus attractive conservatory, good modern bar food, helpful service, and several wines by the glass
Civilised and rather smart, this attractive pub is more-or-less open plan but with several clearly distinct seating areas. There's a mix of well spaced dining and wooden chairs and tables on the bare, light boards, comfortable bar chairs, tub chairs and sofas, and quite a bit of artwork on the creamy yellow walls. In one corner a case of art books and the like helps to set the tone. There's a winter woodburning stove and an airy conservatory. The attractive curved bar counter has a good choice of wines by the glass (plus champagne), smoothies and cocktails, and Brakspears Bitter and Oxford Gold on handpump; board games, unobtrusive piped music, TV, and friendly and efficient young staff. A sheltered floodlit back terrace has tables under cocktail parasols, looking over to the local cricket ground.
'All I can say is GO TO THE LITTLE ANGEL PUB, they have done an awesome job on it, it's completely different & I'd highly recommend it in every way - about time we had a pub like this!'
'On popping into this spacious pub to watch the rugby we couldn't believe how relaxed and cosy the landlord and staff made us feel. Great pub snacks and comfy sofas made for a longer 'pit-stop' than anticipated. The Henley locals should feel lucky to have such a place on hand - shame there isn't more of this type of pub about!'
'Love the place, it's a great local, you feel like it's your pub! The clientele is mixed but classy and the staff are pretty good. I drink there with friends mostly but it's also a definite destination for good food, they get so busy. Here's one to note, if you want good food, fast and efficient service over a working lunch, go there...'
'First class in every way. Great atmosphere lovely conservatory, sensuous lighting.'
