Bexley Arms in Windsor and Maidenhead

Myself & 3 friends had a lovely lunch at the Bexley yesterday. The service & food were excellent. We sat outside as the weather was good. The barman came & took our drinks orders then our food order. Extensive menus with something for everyone. Will definitely be back soon. Can highly recommend.

we visited the Bexley Arms whilst on a boating holiday on the river Thames , Having visited windsor previously we had been disappointed with the offering on the main street , so looked on tripadvisor and found this locals not too far from the river , but away from the tourist areas. WOW what a find , as mentioned in a previous review it is like stepping back in time , it's like pubs were when i was a kid (40 years ago) . We entered through the main bar which had a good group of locals in it, along with a friendly gentleman who was sat on a stool at the end of the bar, who directed us into the room around the bar . the affore said gentleman turned out to be the landlord ( when was the last time you saw a landlord drinking with the locals??) We were seated by a lovely polish lady Miriam? who said as we were the only people eating they had set up a table in the back bar ( like somebodys front room!!) rather than the main dining room , which she did show us later and was very impressive. We all opted for the rump steak which was excellent. my wife is not normally a fan but declared it as being better than fillet ( praise indeed). we could only manage one dessert between us a huge treacle sponge with custard which was also excellent. As we were finishing our meals Annie , the chef/ landlady came around and sat at the bar , commanding the pub the only way an old school publican , Can . I had to squeeze in another pint of the well kept courage bitter which despite being served 'southern style' We northerners like a Proper Head !!. was the best pint of beer i had tasted all week. Whilst getting served we struck up conversation with Annie who told us they had been running the pub for 35 years . I doubt very much except the prices have changed in that time . and why should it. This is a proper locals pub , which has a warm welcome for visitors , whilst selling excellent food and drink. The Bexley and its landlord /lady really are a hidden gem in Windsor

Well, I think you have to have been to this pub so that you can appreciate and understand this review - it is like visiting a relatives house that it stuck in a time-warp, it reminded me of eating dinner in my Gran's lounge. It is old-fashioned and not of this decade/era. But, it is a cosy and inviting pub. 3 of us went early on a Saturday night and the barmaid was very welcoming and friendly. I think the landlady was in the kitchen cooking our meals so did not get to meet her. We all went for 3 courses of a very retro menu, so out of the 70's/early 80's that it was nostalgic & just had to be done - all the old favourites there: knickerbocker glory, prawn cocktail, duck a'la orange etc. Generous prices and fair portion sizes1 We will return as it was a very comfortable and cosy pub, no pretentiousness here - just a step back in time to how pubs used to be!

What an amazing couple of hours we had last Sunday, immaculately clean pub, retro cool, but all original! Proper old school prawn cocktail to start, followed by the most Amazing Roast! No room for puddings, but, oh my did they look amazing! As retro as the decor and and the Prawn cocktail starter! We're talking Steamed puddings, Knickerbocker glory Banana spit.. The list just went on and on! ALL home made! What a little hidden jem! Well done team Bexley! 😀

Wow. Been a while since we have been at the Bexley Arms, lockdown etc to blame. So we and friends booked in for Sunday lunch. We were not expecting it to be too busy, how wrong could you be. We were told that we got the last table booking. So we turned up and found the bar buzzing, busy with post Sunday-lunch’ers and drinkers. There was a real atmosphere again. Before we took our seats we saw a couple of groups turned away as there was simply no space left. We were told later that this has been the case for the previous couple of weeks. So we were called through a took our seats. We went old school, starter / mains and a cheeky pudding! Oh and a great bottle of Malbec for under £20. We all started with the same thing, yep that 70’S fav Prawn Cocktail – its seems it’s a firm fav at the Bexley. It was a belter, no need to say anymore! Then two of us went with the Roast Sirloin and one with the poached salmon. The beef was proper, none of this pre-sliced stuff that is heated up by the gravy! Thick slices and that weekend it must have come from a cow the size of a house, they were large slices! All the veg and roasties you can hope to eat. Oh and the cauliflower and cheese for the table! The gravy is proper, you can taste the beef all through it and there is loads of it. If you can believe it we did all go for pudding. All the family fav’s are there as well as an incredible selection of splits and sundaes. Small portions …. not on your life, we had bitten off more that we could chew, so to speak! Afterwards we headed back to the bar, still busy and very jolly. The Bexley shuts early on a Sunday, which is good, gives you just enough time for a great Sunday lunch and a end of weekend drink in the company of friends. A great decision to go for Sunday lunch!

Had a couple of very nice pints of London Pride, sat outside in a quiet street setting, all very good. Had my temperature and contact details taken on arrival in line with current COVID-19 protocol and the protection for staff and customers was very good, with screens in place etc. Didn't eat there but noticed they offered the 50% off deal for Mon/Tues/Wed and a 10% discount for other days, very good and proactive to generate business rather than complain! Overall very good and we'll be back.

Always good. Was pleased to be one of the first back in the restaurant. Quirky restaurant but excellent staff and always great food and wines.

Although it was a windy and rainy evening, we walked over through a lovely area of Windsor from our B and B on Alma rd..and enjoyed a great meal at the Bexley Arms..Garlic mushrooms to start off the meal were perfectly cooked , seasoned and served...friendly staff made us feel at home..snug in the corner...of a a beautiful dining room...a large party had just called and cancelled..felt bad for the staff..but they didn't let it bother their attitude..had the Shepherd's Pie and it was delicious..good pint to go along..enjoyed the Ladies Loo, it has the Godfather toilet...we took pics in there..and the staff thought of course weird Americans..totally great evening.

We turned up quite late at 2pm for a 'walk-in' Sunday roast dinner and worried we might be turned away but no, a table was found for us in their restaurant situated at the rear of the pub. It was cosy and homely, a cross between a beach side restaurant and someones front room. The food was phenomenal; I had beef with yorkshire and my Sister had turkey. It was all waitress served and 3 dishes of veg were served separately. My beef was cooked just right and was very tender, with 3 massive slices in the serving. The menu for the desserts was also wonderful. I opted for the steamed cherry bakewell pudding with custard and it was gorgeous. We even took a steamed treacle pudding home for my poorly Bro-in-Law who very much enjoyed it. My sister and my brother-in-law both live locally and they have said this will now become a regular fixture for their Sundays. Lucky them!

The Bexley Arms is great for Sunday roasts & midweek treats It Serves Top Quality Food At Very Reasonable Price, Its set up like Africa in the main restaurant but you can also eat in the bar area, Deserts are top quality

Exhausted, foggy from not eating, I found this little pub as I arrived in Windsor. Very friendly staff, generous meal portion, fresh and yum pub food.

Booked for 9 and table was laid for 6. Mother days and the resturant was bus. Only 1 member of staff on duty. It was 30 minutes before we even got a drinks order placed. When ordering food at 2pm they were out of lamb shank and beef. They were out of nuggets from the children's menu. Waitress was clearly so pissed off and not afraid to show it. Food itself was okat but the restbofbit was a shambles.

Shepherds pie at this pub was recommended to me in January. I came about a month ago and was told they were sold out. Tonight, I called in ahead of arriving. I was informed they had shepherds pie available. Wow what a hearty and tasty meal. Picture says it all. Really lovely! All home made ingredients!

Lovely staff,delicious food,wonderful atmosphere,best pub in Windsor .Ann and Colin are delightful hospitable publicans who love what they do and it shows!

A very nice meal attentive & pleasant staff. A lovely decor in the restaurant local ales and good wine. We will bed visiting again very soon

Staff very friendly Good is good but can be too much for 1_person Not much of a,beer selection but the local 🍺beer is not bad Landlady and who is also the chef is charming but is also rude to her staff

Reservé el Bexley Arms para un buffet después del funeral de mi padre el 12 de marzo.La casera Anne y sus maravillosas damas se enorgullecían de mi papá. Una maravillosa selección de comida caliente y fría y el té / café. Fantástico valor.El cuidado y la atención fueron algo que rara vez se ve en estos días.Gracias a todos por todo.

Bonito pub pasado de moda en el frente. El restaurante era como un viaje atrás en el tiempo sin embargo, y el asado está "bien" por diez libras. El servicio es un poco lento pero agradable. El pub Gastro no es una buena descripción, pero para un almuerzo de último minuto estaba bien.

Nos mudamos a Windsor este año y tenemos la suerte de tener 2 bares a 50 m a pie desde nuestro nuevo hogar. Siempre elegimos comer en el "comedor de la abuela" como lo llamamos con cariño. . . esta es la zona amigable para perros que se asemeja a una sala de estar con chimenea y todo. Anne, la Dueña de 30 años cocina todas las comidas y es una cocinera INCREÍBLE. Hemos estado varias veces y hemos tenido la mayoría de las cosas del menú. Todo lo que se sirve es fresco, sano y abundante en sus porciones. Anne y su personal son absolutamente encantadores y acogedores, y este lugar definitivamente será visitado por nosotros al menos una vez por semana. Me encanta aquí. ¡Qué joya escondida!

Estuvo en Windsor por un par de días quedándose cerca de Clarence Road. Mientras buscaba un lugar para llevar a mi esposa a cenar, vi este pub en el camino de regreso a nuestro alojamiento y lo reservé para el martes por la noche. Que suerte! No es un gran menú, pero aún hay muchas opciones. Comencé con Whitebait, que era abundante y obviamente cocinado fresco, ya que parecía ser todo lo demás. Mi esposa tenía cremosos champiñones de ajo para comenzar; también delicioso Mi principal era pato con naranja, no anticuado, un clásico y nuevamente bien hecho. El principal de mi esposa era un pastel de pescado, recomendado por el camarero y de nuevo excelente. Tuve un postre de helado Tía María, que como amante del café, cumplía todos los requisitos. Mi esposa tuvo un pud igual de treacle. Dos botellas de excelente Fernlands Sauvignon Blanc (¡bastante seguro!) A menos de 20 por botella, fueron un delicioso acompañamiento y refrescantemente baratos en comparación con los precios centrales de los pubs de Windsor. Para un buen sabor de la clásica experiencia de pub británico, recomiendo Bexley Arms de todo corazón cuando se encuentre en Windsor.

A pub that has very limited options. When asking for a soft drink we were given two options, orange juice or Coca Cola. After serving 5 drinks of Malibu they claimed to have run out!

3 of us dined here Saturday lunchtime and we found a friendly service, great choice and quality of food and relaxing atmosphere at this venue.

The Bexley Arms Windsor has a separate restaurant situated at the back in a african decor It has a fuel and varied menu Butr The Sunday Roasts are always tops with me. Always advised to book but always good food at very reasonable costs

Delcious food and a great atmosphere! It was a Wednesday night we went and service was good, staff were friendly and the place is very clean!

Friendly staff, happy and cosy atmosphere. Food is excellent - succulent and juicy steaks. Great fish and chips. Good value and relaxed family pub atmosphere. Will be back.

Nice pub feel, food is excellent nice old place I only wish more people would visit the place as it always seams to quiet in there

Bien, tengo que estar de acuerdo con el post (aparte de que no puedo opinar sobre las mujeres loo).

Realmente adecuado pub. Por que no me refiero a todos twee vigas de roble y suelos de madera histórico pero más parecido al de los años 70, con la tradicional 'pub' moqueta y papel pintado, pero todo está muy limpio y acogedor.

Colin y Anne han estado corriendo este pub por unos 30 años. La decoración parece que no ha cambiado durante 50 años con el papel rosa y descoloridas peeling grabados de la Brighton Pavillion. El pub tiene un toque retro o un toque, pero no porque lo hicieron de esa manera: es porque la decoración es muy antigua las ruedas de moda han convertido a la redonda y esto es genial de nuevo! Este es un townie pub y no lo vas a encontrar muchos turistas o visitantes aquí.

Pescado asado los domingos y era excelente, de excelente calidad y excelente cocina, el budín estaban al mismo nivel. La camarera eran haciendo todo lo posible para el servicio.

Absolutamente fabulosa cena! Y una vez más, mixta y el chef. Tuve el queso Camembert frito, lástima que sólo tenía 2 nuggets poco, y luego las gambas de arranque como principal pero con 10 gambas y arroz. Las gambas eran para morirse! Me encantó la comida. La cena era caro y más thanI solíamos gastar pero me gustaron los langostinos. Las otras 4 conmigo vivió sus comidas.

Wide variety of great food. I found the selection to be a wide variety of local food. Service was very good and the food was prepared well. Wide selection of Beers and Scotch.

We, (I and my) elderly parents have eaten a Sunday roast at the Bexley Arms several times. The food has always been good with generous servings as has the service. The only downside has been the long wait/slow service on two or three occasions. However, overall our experience at the Bexley has been very good. Indeed, my parents will continue to eat there in the future.

It was such a shame really that the service was so mixed, because the food and drinks were nice and the restaurant out the back looked really interesting. But for some reason we couldn't sit there, though it was empty because there were no tables for two. Quite slow to bring the food too.... But an interesting pub. Not sure we'll go again to eat, but perhaps a drink on quiz night.

We went with a large group this time, not our first visit.The food is good home cooking with good service.The beers are well kept.Would go again.

This is a nice little pub and I have met a few characters here, very dog friendly and come to its own in the evening.They do bar food and have a restaurant to the side and very popular for Sunday lunches.

Wonderful setting like being in Africa Great food & wide selection & Good staff highly recommend deserts are a dream

I really enjoy this pub, nice old atmosphere full of locals with great stories.Very good food and great for a lunch.Good selection of beers and wine. Worth a visit if you want to relax with a drink.

I came across this pub incidentally. Looking out for a roast meal at Sunday in the middle of the day I wandered in. It has a lovely dining area at the back of the pub with skylights and palms. I ordered the roast beef (there were 3 roasts) and it came with Yorkshire pudding and SIX vegetables. It was tasty and filling, but I couldn't resist the yummy looking sundaes and ti was also excellent. At £9.90 the roast was good value. The dining area was very busy and the service was a little slow and confused, but bearable if you were not in a hurry. I am going back with friends.

I have been to the Bexley a number of times and this is a warm atmosphere pub with cold beers and a lovely Sunday roast.

We were at a family wedding reception at the Bexley and it was delicious. There was a cold buffet of fish, meats, salads etc and some delicious desserts. The staff were very helpful and friendly adding to a great day.

Yet another fantastic meal and brilliant service, roast beef was a really good cut of meat and veg was cooked perfectly!

Friendly staff, well priced and local pub atmosphere! Bar maid and waitress were very attentive, food was very good with plenty of veg! Bar area is quite small however there is a large homely restaurant out the back.

If you are looking for some warm, welcoming English atmosphere where you can get a good feed, then this is the place. It's pretty much the archetypical "local" and it set in a quiet street. The locals are friendly, the innkeeper even friendlier and the food is delicious. It's a little piece of a disappearing England in a town rapidly disappearing into "internationalism".

This restaurant is part of a very friendly, neighbourhood pub and is very popular. The owners go to a lot of trouble to make visits a great experience, whether it's for a meal for two or a family meal. The portions are excellent and the service is good too.People go back for more time and time again, knowing that they will enjoy the food and atmosphere.

Very friendly, good honest food. really enjoyed the sunday lunchwould definately dine there againLoads and loads of fresh veg.Nice decor overall. I will definitely go back.

Just had Sunday lunch here and the restaurant was almost deserted. I can't understand why. Our waitress was fantastic. So many fresh veggies with our main courses (salmon and lamb). Nice decor overall. I will definitely go back.
