Hof's Handcrafted Wines

HOF’s Bar & Dining, the unique addition to Henley’s thriving food and drink scene, opened its doors on the 13th of April 2019 on the site of the former Station House pub on Market Place.

We have been supplying our own HOF’S wine selection to restaurants since 2009, but the Henley site is our first retail outlet and restaurant. We aim to offer customers a unique selection of wines from smaller vineyards around the world, coupled with advice and education. Accompanied with a selction of delicious South African – German dishes all prepared a la minute.

HOF’s sells over 50 wines, served by the glass or by the bottle, chosen by our experienced staff. We are also offering bespoke wine tastings where an in-house wine expert is on hand at the venue’s Wine Hub, to guide you on your wine journey. 

As well as wines, we are selling Brakspear cask ales and a full range of draught products. There is also a good selection of bottled beers as well as a selected list of expertly-served cocktails.

The food focus is on meat and fish dishes from South Africa and Germany with a HOF’s farm shop offering traditional South African foods such as biltong that is handmade on site, ready-made meals and deli style foods. 

As Christopher Hof explains: “HOF’s is all about bringing the vineyard to the customer, helping them to further their wine appreciation. We have all the well-known wine styles, as well as some more unusual ones not widely available in the UK, so we have something for wine novices and connoisseurs alike.”

“Although we’re serious about our wines, HOF’s has an informal, friendly vibe. People are welcome to join us for a glass of a wine they already love, or let us choose a flight of new.”
