First-and-foremost a café in riverside Goring-on-Thames, Pierreponts also doubles as an intimate, rustic space you can hire out for private parties. It’s a pretty, homely space catering for a range of celebrations and providing three-course dinners, high teas or lunches. Muddy also likes the tables on the little terrace; sunny on warm days with blankets provided if there’s a nip in the air.
