About us

The Flowing Spring in Playhatch, Oxfordshire, nestles on the edge of the Chilterns on the Henley Road just minutes from Reading, Caversham, Sonning, Shiplake and Henley-on-Thames.

It is a friendly, cosy, traditional country free house, independently owned. It serves fresh, home-made food, including a wide range of meals suitable for vegetarians, vegans and those with intolerances to gluten, dairy and various allergens. The drinks offerings also cater for those with dietary needs.

The Flowing Spring is also well known for its high standards of live music that takes place all year round, in the bar, in the Acoustic Lounge, a self-contained venue, and in the garden throughout the summer months. Check the What's On page for upcoming gigs.

Unusually, the 19th century pub itself is on the first floor with an excellent covered balcony overlooking the garden. It is important to note that access to the pub itself is via an outside staircase.

 

There is plenty of car parking space, an accessible toilet on car park level (with baby changing facilities) and Wi-Fi. 

Walking groups, runners, cyclists, bikers and dogs are very welcome, as are children but they must be supervised at all times.
