Ok, first the basics...
Location, I enjoy walking the Thames River paths and it is not too far off the river;
Rooms are extremely well appointed;
On suite bathrooms modern and very nice;
Restaurant menu, fabulous and more than your usual pub food!
But what makes this a great place to stay or just drop in for a meal or drink is the owner and staff. Friendly, attentive without “hovering” and always helpful.
Thank you Kevin, Sophie, Will and the other bartender (sorry but I didn’t catch your name, but you were a great DJ for the party and your Campari Spritz was PERFECT!!). I will be staying here on my next visit!
Had a drink in the gardens before a special celebration meal. Amazing food and such great service from the lovely staff. Couldn't fault the place and we even share the same name 😍 Top marks for The Baskerville from us! X
My husband and I have just returned from a two night stay here. The room was very clean , tidy and welcoming with a well stocked box of coffee, teas, milk, sugar etc as well as complimentary bottles of water.
The breakfasts were absolutely delicious with a fabulous choice.
The dinner menu was good, we both enjoyed the juicy burgers and shared the very tasty sharer pudding platter. Just divine!
The staff were all friendly , courteous and polite . We hope to return again .
Friendly staff,after just walking from Reading a cold drink was very welcome,shame couldnt stay as our walk finished in Henley, another time maybe as the food looked very nice, thanks again to your staff, they couldn't of been more helpful.
An excellent lunch-stop while walking the Thames Path - a friendly welcome and service; tasty, well-prepared food (can recommend the Atlantic Cod).
On a slightly chilly winter's day, we appreciated the log fire.
Lots of paintings, photos and other memorabilia on the walls to interest rowing and rugby fans.
Had dinner there tonight and it was fabulous, the staff were lovely and the food was absolutely gorgeous, best fillet steak I've had in a long time, definitely recommend, and see you again very soon
Thank you so much for our wonderful stay over the weekend. The room, the food, the people...all fantastic! And the ice cold beer was perfect :). My daughter and I absolutely LOVED our time there, and can't wait to return. What a beautiful gem you have, in the staff and the location. Much love from the US, and GO ENGLAND!
Fantastic best food I have had in ages and staff were wonderful will definitely be returning
Fantastic food and friendly staff and locals. We parked in Henley, near the river and walked to the pub. Lovely walk followed by the fantastic food. Well worth a visit.
Walked here from Henley on Saturday arriving early evening. We hadn't booked and they were busy but they fitted us in and we had a lovely meal in the bar with our dog which set us up for the return walk. They have some unusual but very tasty dishes which makes a change. The staff were very friendly and service was great. This was our second visit and when we visit Henley again it will be on our agenda I'm sure.
Fantastic food and great atmosphere. They also have great music nights too!
Wonderful ambience,local setting, friendly cheerful hosts and to top it off... excellent mouthwatering dishes...I had the stake and it was perfect. Succulent and just right...the peppercorn sauce was a great compliment to the dish....the staff recommended a new wine pairing. It was a great end to my Saturday walk and I loved every bit if it.

About our experience yesterday, the food was fabulous, staff was very friendly, manager made us feel like home.
Car park outside, garden/bar outside(dog friendly).
Best restaurant in Oxfordshire.
We will be back for sure
Just had the most fabulous Easter Sunday lunch with the family. Gorgeous food from start to finish. Really friendly and helpful staff. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
Popped in for a drink after a walk from Henley. Food sounded good and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend it.
Celebrated our 40th Ruby anniversary here on 1st October could not have asked for a better place the food and service was superb Thank You for being part of our celebrations XXXXX
Fantastic food. Had the steak, best in long time, cooked to perfection. Great atmosphere and really good service ������
An attractive, I would guess late Victorian/Edwardian building in the rather well heeled village of Shiplake, near Henley-on-Thames. The food was wonderful, a mixture of traditional and more adventurous but not faddish. And it has a large, beautiful garden. The staff were friendly and helpful. My main question to myself when visiting somewhere the first time is whether I would return. The answer in this case is definitely yes.
Lovely relaxing atmosphere. Food was fantastic. Great beer garden plenty of parking.
A lovely date night with great food and love the feel of the place. We shall be back 😍😍
Best pub in Oxfordshire.... Enough said.
Best service I've experienced (in England)
Lovely people, lovely place, lovely food = 10/10!
What a lovely venue good food great service and attention to detail love it
Incredibly lovely staff and dog-friendly. We will definitely come back and stay again.
Lovely evening, wonderful food. Smoked haddock souffle and steaks always a favourite with our family. My bouillabaisse was excellent.
Service brilliant and staff very friendly.
Fantastic pub and lovely staff. Managers are so accommodating and make visiting here such a pleasure. We had lunch last week here and it was delicious- thoroughly recommend The Baskerville. Always made to feel welcome.
Food is excellent as was the service, the ambience, we will definitely be going again.x
Lovely, well-run pub/restaurant with a friendly atmosphere, great staff, & big sunny beer garden. Just what a village pub should be! :-)
Good Sunday roast, excellent kids spaghetti meatballs!
Really lovely and friendly service.

Loved it. Would like to stay again. Great dinner.
What an absolute gem!! We just stopped-over here on our way to France, but would want to return as a destination. The welcome is fab, the food is phenomenal and we slept like babies. Thank you to Kevin and his awesome team- every single member of staff we encountered were very pleasant and great at what they do.
Friendly and welcoming. Nice menu with something for everyone. Lovely salmon today. Additional triple cooked chips a must. Well done. We will be back.
Definitely my favourite pub on the Thames Path so far. Great location around 2.6 miles outside of Henley. Excellent food at sensible prices. The spicy pizza was epic. Excellent drop of Marlow Rebellion. A nice lunch time pint. Best of all the staff. Young but attentive and efficient. Worth the five stars.
Still under renovation, but temporary bar and seating is good. Goodxselection of ales and other drinks. Food is available - not tried, but the menu looks good. Grandsons have had pizzas, and they said are good.
Nice garden and decent beer selection but the food was very average. Pizza felt like it was aimed at kids rather than adults, salad came undressed. Wouldn't eat there again.
Beautiful pub in great location for walking to from either Henley or Sonning. Going through a refurb so inside was restricted but lovely beer garden made up for it.
Very pleasant pub with attentive staff. We only stopped off for drinks on this occasion but with a arge selection of beers we would've liked to have stayed longer. Great location too.
Lovely pub and friendly service
I had a prawn and salmon salad starter it was plentiful for my lunch and very fresh and tasty
Decent pub with a beautiful garden, great location next to the station, serving a lovely cider
Excellent, good prompt service, staff very pleasant. Would consider stopping if the opportunity arises.
Great Food.superb service good price. What's not to like.
Lovely
Although
Somehow call time before 11
And don't tell you..
Fantastic! Great food, super garden. Service is excellent. The new garden is looking really good. Had a group of 11 of us on Sunday and they couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you.
Had an enjoyable birthday dinner here. Staff were friendly, helpful and attentive, the place is nice and good range of dishes on the menu.
Had the cod fritters to start and although they were tasty, couldn't taste much cod and no sign of the Anchovies.
My main was the lamb, which was enjoyable but didn't taste particularly fresh, more like it had been cooked in advance and reheated.
All in all a good night, but did end up feeling that the food needed just a little more effort to nudge it from good to great.
Simply brilliant. If you run a pub and want to know what excellent looks like... visit the Baskie. Friendly, warm and efficient staff combine with a great chef and now a really lovely garden. It's outstanding.
Friendly welcome and a beautifully landscaped garden. Staff were excellent and service was prompt.
Not many vegetarian options, and other items that had sold out meant a slightly reduced menu. Otherwise very good.
We had an absolutely fabulous Sunday lunch here. It was the first time we had been able to see family for nearly two years and we sat in a huge Beduin tent surrounded by wonderful rugs and cushions, sofas and low tables. The atmosphere is brilliant. AND ... the best part was that I had the best roast lunch I've had for years! In fact we were all delighted with the food, the ambiance, the surroundings and the service. 5*
Great pizzas and lovely staff.
We were so well looked after and had a fantastic time. Thank you!
Explicitly dog friendly!
Delicious food and incredibly friendly service. What more could you want? The whitebait was some of the best I'd tasted - unexpected for somewhere which is about as far away from the sea as you could be! The venison burger had incredibly deep and robust flavour. Worth booking a table in advance especially if you are walking from Henley as this place is often very busy.
