"I have visited this restaurant multiple times in the past and have always given it a 5-star rating for its delicious Thai cuisine and excellent service. During my most recent visit, the food was up to its usual high standards - Duck Rolls with a sweet dip for starters and a Chicken Massaman curry for my main course. However, the service was disappointingly poor on this occasion. There was no issue with the starter, but the trouble began with the main course. I overheard the waitress deliver our food to the table next to us, thinking it was a mistake. After a long wait and multiple attempts to inquire about our meal, the owner explained that it had been mistakenly given to the wrong table. Despite being provided with multiple sets of hot plates, our entrees did not arrive promptly. Eventually, I spotted my meal sitting on the bar where the waitress had left it while she answered a phone call, so I had to retrieve it myself. The owner apologized and offered us a complimentary drink, but it was a disappointing experience overall with the worst service I can recall. There was no follow-up to ensure that everything was satisfactory with our meal, and we were not even bid farewell upon leaving. It is unclear whether the staff were inexperienced or if it was simply an off night for the restaurant."

The best Phad Thai that I have ever had. Great value and impeccable, friendly service. I would definitely recommend.

Had not been since January 2019 and it is still the best place to get Thai food in a 50 mile radius. Flavours are fresh and vibrant and excellent value for money, with service to match

Visited x3 times now and each time the staff are always friendly, the food comes out fairly quickly, it's hot and the flavours are absolutely fabulous. I have tried half the menu and not found anything which wasn't wonderful. 10/10 will go again!

Visited with friends for a mid week meal. Very friendly, welcoming staff. Gorgeous flavours and true tastes of authenic Thai cusine. Spiced as requested by each person, one of us enjoys extreme chilli heat. can fully understand why its so popular.

Where do I even start? This restaurant is amazing! From the friendly and quick staff to the delicious Thai dishes on the menu, The White Horse has won me over. I tried the prawn Pengnan with coconut rice and it was perfectly seasoned, taking me straight to rural Thailand. I would highly recommend this place to all my friends and family. The White Horse has definitely made Oxfordshire a better place. A big thank you to the staff for making tonight a memorable experience!

Recommended to us by a local! This did not disappoint! Satay chicken and chicken wings to start were delicious and served with tasty dipping sauce.Mains partner had a stir fry which was a great size and tasted amazing. I asked the owner for advice and was sold his special curry with fresh chilli which is not on the menu! I was blown away, huge portion size, very hot but kept the other flavours too, there was nothing left!A must visit!Owner is also a cricket fan, what else is needed?

My friends and I have frequented this pub/restaurant multiple times and even ordered takeout during lockdown. Every time, we have always had a satisfying and tasty Thai meal. We began our meal with pancake rolls as an appetizer, which were delicious. For our main dish, we chose the Phad Prig Chicken, which was absolutely delightful, just like the rest of the food at this establishment. The restaurant has a cozy, intimate atmosphere with around 10 tables and the staff are very friendly.

Very friendly atmosphere, very nice vibe. We used to live in SE Asia and so we are quite finicky about Thai food. We had the Tom Yum soup, could have been more spicy but we forgot to ask for more spice! It was delicious anyway the prawns were plump and fresh. Then I had the chef special seafood, generous portions , Full to the brim with seafood with a delicious sauce. My husband had a very tender (extra spice added) duck curry. Then as a added bonus the chef brought out his own chicken curry which is to die for , fragrant with spices and fresh flavour , and even though we were so full , we ate it!

"We usually love coming to Cafe Rouge in Henley, always a treat for us and we are always looking forward to it. However the most recent visit was awful and it’s been going downhill over our last coupes of visits. We booked a table for my father in laws birthday. Upon being seated, we were informed that 3 of the main course dishes were unavailable.. pretty much half of the ‘mains’ options. We don’t come to Cafe Rouge for Burgers or salad! We opted for 3 portions of Mussels as had them here before and they’re very good! Mother in law just had pate as there was nothing else she wanted. These were possibly the worst mussels we’ve ever had. You could tell they weren’t fresh (cooked from frozen for sure) and there was barely any sauce in the pot! Usually they are flavourful and abundant in sauce! No check back was performed by the manager on duty..it was a quiet Monday so wasn’t exactly run off his feet. So we couldn’t alert him. Even upon clearing we weren’t ask how our meal was! Just asked if we had finished. We decided to mention they were awful to which the manager told us he would inform the kitchen. When he came back to finish clearing, my partner asked if they were frozen or fresh mussels, to which the manager replied yes, they are frozen. Wasn’t expecting that but you could totally tell! They tasted like cardboard! We had a coffee and a pudding and to be fair to the manager he didn’t charge us for one portion of mussels and the coffees we ordered. The Bill was certainly not worth what we had. Didn’t leave a tip, which we never normally do, but the service was non existent. Manager was more interested in what was on his phone. Won’t be rushing back"
