Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Charming staff welcomed us but then three of them took our order between them and got it wrong twice. Multiple items on the menu were available, then suddenly unavailable. In the hour it took for starters to come there was a constant drip feed of...items no longer available. Kept having to order again. To their credit, they offered us a free round of drinks (extra star) to say sorry and were polite at all times. We were assured that we could order deserts and all were available so we did. 5/6 deserts turned out to be unavailable! Incredible. If this was a deliberate ploy to entertain customers it would be an hilarious farce. Someone need to get on top of communication here.More

We arrived at 5.45 for a 6pm booking. This clearly inconvenienced the staff who told us we'd have to wait in the bar. The bar was packed and there was nowhere to sit. It was all very awkward and unwelcoming. Our first drinks order took...20 minutes to arrive. Food was mediocre in comparison to past visits. The restaurant was absolutely freezing and we ate dinner in our coats. The walk from the carpark was icy and fraught with obstacles including something that appeared to be an uncovered drain which we had to step over because there was a large truck parked in the middle of the walk way.. Sadly it was a very unimpressive evening when we've had such lovely times in the past.More

We come to Stoneaged a few times a year and would usually rate it quite highly. A few issues this time: I requested plenty of ice in my gin and tonic, “please fill the glass with ice then double it”, but the amount was barely...enough. Why does one need to negotiate the amount of ice? The wrong sauce was served, though quickly corrected when asked. The wine (one of their more expensive ones) was served already opened and without offering a tasting. That’s never happened anywhere before. The wine was fine though. Not relevant for this visit, but if you order tuna steak, you don’t get any sauces or chips. But the menu states these come with all steaks. Er? Portion sizes for sides were much smaller than we have had before. Shrinkflation? We ordered a desert and coffees. Coffee was served, but after 10 minutes I asked where the desert was. Another 10 minutes, as the kitchen was busy, so we cancelled. Double espresso was charges αs two single espressos, ouch! The bill arrived quickly (good) but incorrectly included two bottles of wine! So why as many as three stars? I didn’t want to rate it just on one below par experience.More

Whilst staying at the White Swan we ate at the Stoneaged Restaurant and we weren’t disappointed! It was wonderful! A really lovely restaurant with beautiful furniture and excellent waitress service. We had ribeye steaks, served with chips, a sauce and a butter and we added...with 3 sides. The steak arrives on a very hot stone and you cook it to your liking, simple. The sides were big portions, all hot and freshly made. We will definitely eat here again, highly recommended.More

We lived in Henley for 8 years until April of last year when we moved around 4 miles away, and whilst we visited The White Swan on many occasions we think this is the first visit for Sunday Lunch It will not be our last...visit for what was a simply stunning meal. My Sister in Law had stayed with us the night before, and she was totally blown away by the venue, the food and even a live band.

Decor really relaxed and comfortable. We visited on a Saturday evening and all but one steak had sold out by the time we ordered which went to my partner. Limited on gluten free options (chips and most mains not gf) so I ended up having...the same thing for starter and main (scallops and prawns) which is why I’ve only given 4/5 but the food itself tasted great quality and we enjoyed the hot stones to cook our own food on. Our server Zack was really attentive even though they were super busy. Would visit again if in the area.More
