"so. for a kick-off, this place has many potentials and is a very attractive and beautifully positioned place, right at the main train of the fair mile at henley on thames. good. that said the experience of our meal was less than satisfactory. After we decided that we didn't want to start and have only preferred a main course, we were surprised that our food came out within 5 minutes after the order and was ploned before us. that's good, but what we were greeted by has given us the feeling that we were back. the 80s with a beefeater art of experience. my friends steak was floppy and looked like something from tesco for 3 pfund and her veg was overcooked and black. with young, trunk broccoli, they only need to blanche for 2-3 minutes, as they wipe very quickly. on my head. this was 4 crevettes, deep fryed with a dressing that was good; no problems there at all and a lacking 1970 style prawn cocktail with super market marie the rosesoße pressed about what had been frozen on the bed of the shrunk iceberg salad. the chips, were stacked on the side and were dry and bleeding to be honest. no taste, and they were probably too long in the many remaining ofenchips. When I came back from the gents, I found my friend who knows the very polite and young waitress that eating was not good at all. that said the ingredients were good, it was how they were cooked and presented. pretty awful. each cook worth weight white how to cook a good steak and present young veg without being floppy and crowned. then we saw the young waitress who left the owner who then went to empty us. I guess she was upset that we had complained. I understand, but this is not professional and shows a significant lack of customer service as home personnel. the barman was polite and we paid quickly. we couldn't get out fast enough."

"Our first visit.As a Coeliac I always struggle to eat out, but reading a few reviews and checking the menu I felt that Pieminister was worth a visit.On arrival a very cheerful waitress showed us to a table which was a great position, not to close to other diners but not isolated either the place was around 50% full.Our waiter for the evening (whose name I did not get annoyingly) was great, explained how it all worked provided me with the separate menu and put my mind at ease regarding the food. We ordered a couple of drinks whilst waiting; water was also provided.Loved the presentation of the food in an enamel dish on a wooden board and a separate gravy boat loved that.Pie was delicious and piping hot my only critique was the pastry edge was a little crunchy which for GF is blooming amazing often the whole thing is crunchy so well done to the pastry chef.Chips were freshly cooked and tasty.Followed up with Black Forest Ice Cream dessert mine came in a cardboard tub was very tasty and perhaps a slightly too large offering given the main course.The input from the waiter was perfect, checked from time to time we were happy had all we needed, but did not intrude, was cheerful and chatty but not overbearing.Quirky decor reclaimed floorboards on the walls and ceiling, plain wooden table temperature was comfortable, no cold draughts when the door opened. Noise levels were great too couldn't hear nearby diners, nor was it too quiet.A thoroughly enjoyable visit, will very happily return."
