The Angel on the Bridge

Story

Henley Bridge is a road bridge built in 1786 at Henley-on-Thames over the River Thames, between Oxfordshire and Berkshire. The bridge has five elliptical stone arches, and links Hart Street in Henley with White Hill (designated the A4130) leading up a steep hill to Remenham Hill. It crosses the Thames on the reach between Hambledon Lock and Marsh Lock, carrying the Thames Path across the river. It is a Grade I listed building.HistoryThis point of the Thames has been used for crossing since ancient times. The current bridge replaced an earlier wooden structure, the foundations of which can be seen in the basement of the Henley Royal Regatta headquarters nearby on the Berkshire side. However, the remains of two stone arches on both sides of the river indicate the existence of an even more ancient stone bridge prior to the timber structure. This bridge has been identified by some authors as the bridge which the Romans crossed pursuing the Britons in 43AD, as described by Dion Cassius. This hypothesis is refuted by many other authors. The earliest recording of a bridge is in the Patent Rolls of 1232. In 1354, two granaries were leased on the bridge, which was timber on stone piers and several chapels are recorded. It was carried away in the great flood of 1774, but part of the eastern abutment is built on the intact easternmost span of the original 12th-century bridge.

Recently ate here for dinner. Very nice restaurant by the Henley Bridge and by the water. Food was delicious, however the meat in our burger wasnt cooked right, and I had the Fish & Chips and got sick. The taste was still good though.
We come here last year and we had an amazing fish and chips and the famous mussels bucket. This year we returned and they told us they don’t have mussels on the menu anymore. We were sad but excepted because it was a year ago since we were here. But when we finished we saw the sign in the window they still advertise the mussels Friday and yes we were on Friday. And on top of this the bar tender poured the aperol on my bf.
I love this pub. The people, the ambiance, the ales, all great!nI like the Sunday Roast because it is a plateful of delicious stuff, just a really nice meal. The one downfall, and it is a moderately big one, is that the beef is sliced thin and done Medium to Medium Well. The Angel's beef usually has a little pink in the center but almost no red.nBritish Beef is some of the best in the world but even it can not thrive if it is over cooked.
Lovely pub on river Thames, with cosy atmosphere and friendly staff. Decently priced although dishes we had I feel should be few pounds less given their size and quality.nnOver all good experience and would consider to come back and try other dishes.
Amazing spot to have a drink and watch the river life go by.nQuirky building but has limited space inside.nThe staff were lovely though.
