wining & dining

Wining and dining is an integral part of your enjoyment of an evening at the Henley Festival. There is something for everyone, from a sandwich at the Water’s Edge to a full à la carte dinner at the Riverside, all located within the Festival grounds.

Henley Festival Hospitality, the dedicated arm of our caterers Letheby & Christopher, is delighted that the world-famous chef Albert Roux will again be masterminding superb cuisine in the Riverside Restaurant in association with Champagne Ayala. Also offered are the two very popular sittings in Terrace Restaurant and a full service package at La Scala.

The Italian Piazza will once again be open throughout the evening but this year it will be bookable in advance for a 6.30pm sitting. At all other times it will be open on the usual first come, first served basis.

Whatever your catering needs, once you have your ticket allocation confirmed by the Box Office, please ring 01242 541599 to book dinner in the Riverside, the Terrace Restaurant or the Italian Piazza. For information and/or booking La Scala, please ring 0845 602 8987.

Their staff there will be pleased to advise you on every aspect of the enjoyment of your evening and assist you with your arrangements. Please note that restaurant reservations do not gain you entry to the Festival itself - please ensure therefore that your ticket allocation has been confirmed by the Festival Box Office before making your catering reservations.

The Terrace Restaurant

Due to the demand, table reservations will only be held for 20 minutes and tables must be vacated prior to the start of the main concert, to avoid noise interference.

Please note that each table can only seat up to six guests and larger parties must be accommodated on separate tables.
