'Bill' the Shepherd
Many Henley locals lucky enough to have sampled 'Bill's particular offerings will testify to her tasty, succulent lamb roasts. Now, at Fawley Meadows, devotees and regulars of the "Trad" get the chance to join her growing fan base.
'Bill' is a well-known local shepherd whose flock of rare breed sheep are to be seen grazing wherever there is field space around Henley. Her Spit roast Lamb or Hogget and her succulent lamb-burgers are simply the best you will taste, anywhere.
Jake’s Molotov Fizz and Cocktail Bar
Keep cool and keep happy. Jason serves Fizz and mixes the finest cocktails either side of the Thames and the perfect Pimm’s too!
“Time for Tea”
Vintage Tearoom: A gentle flower-strewn, bunting bedecked retreat serving perfect pots of tea, or just a cup.. with delicious home-made cakes, scones and sandwiches. Charlotte is in great demand now for Vintage themed weddings so we are delighted to have managed to book her for the whole of the Festival weekend.
“Daisy” the Ice Cream Van
Tara Cole’s is another local wedding “must have” and her ice creams are as delicious as she is fun. Great photo opportunity too!
