I grew up around High Wycombe and used to frequent the Old Crown in Skirmett...sadly now a private house. Despite living in Shepherds Bush at the time...the Old Crown and the wonderful grumpy Peter (the landlord) was my real local. He could abuse one with style...and still serve an excellent pint of Breakspears, and his long suffering wife Liz, was a marvel in the kitchen. So we'd stopped in the overblown Hand & Flowers in Marlow that couldn't or wouldn't serve us a pint at 12.15...come back at 14.45 was their suggestion, and as it was full of BMW driving Buckinghamshire hedge fund types and their loud kids...we voted with our feet and left to find somewhere else. I then remembered reading about how the Stag & Huntsman had been given a make over...and my lord does it work! The place still has individual rooms to drink in, for food our two bowls of roast tomato soup hit the spot and the beer was excellent. I must also commend the staff in particular a young lady (Claire?) who was very competent, organising the staff, taking phone calls and generally keeping the who place toddling along. Her customer care skills in person or on the phone got a 10/10. We sat, supped and relaxed for a couple of hours reading the Saturday papers, and we left wishing that the US could do pubs.....but it can't! Next time we plan to stay once the bedroom door isssue I read about on TripAdvisor have been fixed.

The welcome is genuine and they have their feet on the ground. They serve beer made down the road and it's popular with real ale fans. The food is good -basic and inexpensive - Ploughman's and sarnies, for example. Good choice of well made cheeses and pate. I love the double seats in the porch. I have fond memories of taking my father here and sharing a seat here. And it's a lovely place to go for a walk along The Ridgeway before or after. And it's wonderful to see such a beautiful old Berkshire building. Lovely location and a pretty garden. Inside is lovely - nothing added, nothing taken away. This is the real thing.

We had a burger, soup, and bangers and mash with a couple pints. It has a large garden and beautiful grounds, but the interior is like any other British pub. The staff was nice enough. I wouldn't go back. Not because it was "bad", per se, but simply because there are too many places to try to go back to places that are unimpressive.

The beer is always well kept and the friendly staff serve good quality and reasonably priced traditional pub grub. They tend to expect the place to be half empty so, if there's a group of you turning up phone ahead - otherwise you may well find that they've run out of food. The setting is tranquil and relaxed and you can easily find minutes turning into hours as you chill out in the garden. Well worth a visit. Why not walk there from Henley, then plod down to Mill end and get the bus back.

I loved that there is a bread basket waiting for you right when you sit down and they took our drink order immediately so I had my Hendrick & soda with cucumber as I perused the tasty menu. And we got a free side of veggies as a nice healthy surprise. Their menu is seasonal & they have specials so there's sure to be something new every time, which I love. -Duck terrine: Gamey and fantastic. The cranberry relish and toast compliment it perfectly. -Thai fishcake: Probably favorite part of the meal. Incredible spices. -Lemon sole fillets with crab meat and sauce: So many amazing flavors. -Monkfish wrapped in pancetta: Nice but the pancetta overpowered the monkfish, which is such a delicious fish on its own. -Sticky toffee pudding: One of the best I've had! Will definitely be coming back to try new stuff!

Only about a couple of dozen other people there when we arrived at 9pm so plenty of room and no problem finding a seat. Half the people there around a table in the conservatory area playing cards and that looked like fun. Would best describe this as an old traditional pub with low beamed ceilings and picturesque little windows. Well worn, lived in look to the place made it feel homely. No piped music either which was nice change. Good draught selection and wine for the ladies came in 30ml mini bottles which was nice and not to expensive either. The fact that it was so quiet on a Friday is a bit ominous and probably a reflection of the times so don't expect it to be around for long which would be a shame.

It can be reached via a circular walk from Henley - if you're feeling fit (about ten mile loop) - and is reached by a lung bursting ascent up the side of a steep valley.
