Lovely food but we were sat in the conservatory which was full of Xmas party people and very loud and we wanted a pub atmosphere, if I go again i would ask to be inside the pub.

Food is getting better each time I go. Small but thoughtful menu. Small but very clever wine list, with a lovely pink Prosecco. Three different large ambiences: outside by the Thames, inside a well climatised marquee, or inside the old building. Near other Windsor attractions, although I’m a resident. Moving fast up my list of favourite restaurants

The staff were friendly and professional. They made a special effort to accommodate our party of four so one of our number in a wheelchair was able to feel comfortable and included. They also were honest about the bill pointing out an overpayment we had made. Thank you.

A great Sunday lunch with the family. A wide menu selection and still roasts available late afternoon which went down well with our group! Pretty generous portions and good quality food. Ambiance and service were great, felt very Christmassy and cosy. Definitely recommend!
