The Baskerville, Henley-On-Thames

Official site of The Baskerville - www.thebaskerville.com

A culinary bent predominates here, although not at the expense of the solo drinker with options of Sharp's Doom Bar, Rebellion IPA, Loddon Hoppit and Loddon Hullabaloo (the latter £2.15 a half). This 30s-style build is all brick exterior and wood interior and offers room to the left on entry for drinkers (a group of five locals were doing just that on my entrance) with dining accommodated up and towards the right, with a further area behind the square-shaped bar seemingly available for both. Walled paraphernalia emphasised two of those well-heeled sporting pastimes in these parts - rowing and rugby union - and location-wise, it's close to both GWR's Shiplake Railway Station and the Thames Path.
