The Henry VI, Eton

well i went back to this pub and i must say, wasn't as impressed this time.

i dont know what has happened to the food - or the chef, but it was awful. It took over 45 mins to arrive and after al that, was cold and didn't taste that great. The pub was full of football fans drinking noisily, pushing and shoving so i must say i didnt enjoy this experience at all.

I dont think i would go back again. A shame after being quite impressed the first time but after having such an awful experience, i just dont think id risk it.

The Henry VI, Eton

My partner and i have visited this pub on a few occasions and must say, our last visit was fantastic. We wanted to take our parents out for a quiet sunday roast and wanted somewhere that wasn't too commercial, neither did it have screaming kids. We instantly thought of the Henry and i must say, we all had a fantastic time. So much so, we stayed all afternoon!

The food was excellent. Real homemade yorkshire puddings (Which my Dad loved!) and the sticky toffee pudding was a great end to a fantastic meal. Although it was quite busy, we found a table quickly but we had to wait a little while for the food. The atmosphere was very cosy and relaxing so it didn't bother us..

The only downside i would say is that the toilets could have done with improving. They were a bit grotty and a bit smelly from the gents. I would have been nice if the fires were lit, however, it was a lovely afternoon and my parents have already asked when we can all visit again.

I would certainly recommend this pub for families without children or for those who enjoy a good independent pub with great food and atmosphere.
