Very nice pub and excellent service
The service and food was very good.
Not so good was the room which was very small and cramped.A small basin and a very poor shower. No shower curtain and no shaver point.

An excellent stay at the Thames Head Inn!
I stayed in one of the four rooms at the back of the pub. Nice rural location with plenty of parking. Room was clean and comfortable, but the best aspect of the stay was the friendly staff and excellent food. Portions good, and the pub has a great atmosphere. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and good quality. Would definitely stay again
