A little bit about us….
Orwells located in rural Binfield Heath, just 5 minutes from the town centre of Henley-on-Thames and 10 minutes from Reading. Orwells is housed within an old 18th Century pub building, but far from a pub it is.
The style of food reflects the personalities of the chefs, whilst the ethos is to be true to sustainability and the seasons, it has rural provenance with a modern approach.
We are recognised for our commitment to a sustainable approach for the future, and are also recognised by all major guides, picking up some prestigious awards along the way.
Since Orwells opened its doors back in 2010, it has achieved 4 AA Rosettes, a cooking score of 7/10 in the Good Food Guide, a listing in the Michelin Guide and won The Good Food Guide's Readers Restaurant of the Year 2012, Editors Choice Restaurant of the Year 2017 and finally 3 Gold Stars in the Sustainable Restaurant Association for being a champion of sustainability, as well as other local awards.
The ethos is to serve nothing but the highest quality food in a relaxed setting, free from frippery and fuss, where families, friends and colleagues can all feel equally at home. While you won't find a bevy of locals propping up at our bar, we do have a beautiful garden that, weather permitting, is open to drinkers as much as diners.
The ingredients, sourced locally wherever possible, reflect the best of what Britain can produce. We also have our own small holding and apiary where most of our fruit, vegetables and honey are produced just down the road from the restaurant. So, although we take a modern approach to preparing them and aren't averse to the odd creative flourish, the idea of letting fabulous ingredients stand out is at the heart of what we do.
