However, we made the effort to walk all the way to the end of the street and just before you fall back into the countryside there is a great pub. Inside the Black Swan is a tastefully decorated public house with nicely spaced out wooden tables. This is perfect for a quiet meal, the food is ok for the price. We popped in for an afternoon pint but ended up staying much longer. The bar man had nearly finished his shift but that didn't distract him from giving us a warm welcome. He nearly persuaded us to give the scrumpy cider a try but we opted for a larger and an ale. Outside there is a beer patio next to the pub or a small beer garden through the car park. I'd highly recommend this friendly pub if some of the other places in Henley are too posh or busy for your tastes.

Although it is placed in the end of the street, Black Swan was my first choice of visit. This traditional pub and restaurant has a genuine welcome to guests. Its decor follow a very classic type of pub with wooden booths and carpet. It seems to attract an older clientele so this pub tends to be a quiet place but far from being a boring place to have some drinks or a meal. I have spotted a nice soundtrack in the background with the best of 60 music without being the usual hits. The average price of a pint is a beer not so much over £ 3 and their jacket potatoes are just delicious and costs only £ 3.95. Free WiFi is available and the staff is really friendly, inclusive coming to your table for taking orders. The lady who was serving us was pretty much busy indeed but offered the password of the Internet in the establishment with a pretty smile on her face. Black Swan is probably not the most popular pub in this famous high street but it's certainly the most pleasant one in the area.

It's proper the most local of the local ones in Henley-in-Arden, but from the first drink asked to the information given me about the toilet. I felt a really welcoming reception in this pub! To be honest, there is a quite vibrant vibe in this pub that probably made this place a bit more popular than the other ones. jacket union flags, young and really educated staff and some locals enjoying football on the big screen. This seems to be a very good sports bar with a plus: the building is absolutely fantastic. The pub was recently refurbished but the real structures of this medieval construction. They serve a range of real ales as well and the price is quite cheap compared to the other pubs visited in this high street. Beer garden and karaoke are also other attractions of this very spacious and pleasant pub!

The adjoining restaurant serves tasty food in sensible portions with a changing specials board. One small quibble would be that it would be lovely if they included more side vegetable choices.

There was another good looking vegetarian pie option too (goat cheese and sweet potato), and plenty of other meat choices including venison as well as the usual non-pie pub offerings. We were all pleased with our choices, which came with gravy, thick hand cut fries and steamed mixed veg. The atmosphere is lovely with three intimate rooms, each with a fireplace and bar, but I'd almost say the highlight is the fact that you can leave your car in the parking lot and walk along the canal for miles if you desire. More sedentary folks could sit by the canal in the beer garden while their kids play in the attached playground, so there's something for everyone!

I had a chicken tikka salad sandwich and some breaded mushrooms. The sandwich ended up being tiny pieces of seasoned chicken on a piece of lettuce between two of the thickest pieces of bread - 2X Texas Toast size. It was not a chicken salad at all as advertised. It was very dry. As for everybody else's meals it was a consensus of MEH.... Average. The service brought it down another notch. We actually thought we could dine and dash but we really really could have dined and strolled. (Of course we did not!). Once our food arrived we were never checked on again. We had to get up and ask for our bill and then get up and pay. We will definitely not make the drive out to the Fleur de Lys again.

If you eat in the bar area you go to the bartender order your drink of choice and meal. Hint...if you only feel like a half portion of fish and chips you can order a half order and for me it's a perfect portion of food. They do have a bar menu too if you don't want fish and chips. But really who goes to a pub in England and not order fish and chips. This is the place to do so. They do have a restaurant but I believe you need a reservation for that. Worth every bit for a nice meal out and I believe that the menu is a bit different.
