THE owners of a riverside restaurant in Henley want to be able to serve food to customers outside.
Shaun and Gemma Dickens, who own Bistro at the Boathouse in Station Road, are already permitted to serve drinks on the decking between 6pm and 9pm.
Now they want to serve food between those times as well, saying this would attract customers and help them recover from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

A MAN’S plans to build a swimming pool in his garden have been opposed by neighbours.
Steven Esom has applied to South Oxfordshire District Council, the planning authority, for permission for the 6m by 3m pool at his home in St Andrew’s Road, Henley.
Neighbours say it would be an inappropriate development in a conservation area and that trees could be damaged during excavation works.
They are also concerned about noise and light from the pool in the evenings.
Nick Raine said: “Given the pool would be less than 3m away, the impact would be relentless and when it was used at night with the noise and lighting it would be quite overpowering.
