The Row Barge Public House

The Row Barge Public House, commonly known as The Row Barge or The Rowbarge, is a traditional pub and coaching inn in Henley-on-Thames, South Oxfordshire, England. According to its own website, it is one of Henley's oldest coaching inns, occupying a quiet residential spot close to the town centre and the riverside walks along the Thames. The building dates to the 16th century and is described by the pub as a very traditional, unspoilt establishment with a strong local following. The pub operates across several areas: a front bar with log fires, a restaurant, a pub garden and a beer garden. Its food offer centres on hearty pub dishes and lighter bites, with Sunday roasts promoted as the highlight of the week and a range of 12-inch thin-crust stone-baked pizzas made with Italian ingredients, available to eat in or to order by phone for collection. Sample menus and a dedicated pizza menu are published on the website. Beyond food and drink, The Row Barge runs a small accommodation business. It has four contemporary ensuite bedrooms, each with a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi and tea and coffee facilities, aimed at business travellers and weekend visitors. The pub also takes enquiries for functions and private events. The business presents itself as a warm, welcoming local with a friendly team, and it recommends booking ahead for Sunday roasts to guarantee a table. Contact is handled by email and telephone from the pub itself. It is a single-site independent hospitality business rather than a chain, and no parent company, ownership group or listing status is indicated in the available evidence.
