Restaurant Partners
For 2025 we've partnered with local Henley food and drink businesses to guide you to some of the best places to grab a bite to eat or a quick drink in between events.
Located on Duke Street, The Duke is a relaxed neighbourhood gastro pub serving up well-cooked, flame-grilled food in a laid-back setting. Our menu champions British ingredients from local suppliers, with seasonal dishes cooked over the open fire at the heart of the kitchen. Whether you’re popping in for a bite between festival events or settling in for a long lunch or dinner, you’ll find a warm welcome, good wine and proper food done simply and well. We’re proud to be part of the Henley community and excited to support this year’s Literary Festival.
