Bluebells Restaurant in Windsor and Maidenhead

Great evening, amazing food, quality of ingredients, presentation and service. Thank chefs and front of house.

Amazing restaurant on all aspects. Service great, food exceptional and we loved the attention to detail on many aspects. Will definitely be going back again.

We came for a birthday lunch and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were super friendly, decor is lovely. All of the food was delicious particularly the prawn and Mackrell pate starter and the sea bream pasta main. We had a cocktail too which were both great. We will be back it felt good value for the standard of food and service.

We’ve eaten here many times & to say it’s one of our favourites would be an understatement. Stunning food and exceptional service. Look forward to seeing you again soon.

Our go to restaurant locally whenever we have friends or family stay. The food is delicious, the service first class and the ambiance perfect. However the most important reason is its consistency, they have never let us down on any element of food or service.

What an absolute delight. From the warm welcome the moment we walked in to the beautiful decor and great atmosphere! The food was delicious with so many choices that seemed designed just for me 😋

Bluebells has always been a favourite place for us, although ( due to travel commitments) we don’t get to go as often as we like. The menu here changes on a regular basis but will always have sufficient choices to satisfy most tastes. It is the attention to detail that makes Bluebells stand out against other local establishment, quality of ingredients, presentation and service are outstanding, all of which enhance the Value for Money. For me its the little things that others might not notice that makes Bluebells a great restaurant, on a recent visit I enjoyed one of the best Steaks I have ever eaten and was pleased that they didn’t offer me a Steak knife to go with it. I always have the attitude that if a Sharpened Steak Knife is needed to enjoy the steak then the chances are that the Steak is not going to be as tender as I would have hoped for. This is not an issue here, as my steak could be cut with the blunt side of a butter knife. I think it is wise to ensure you make a booking as Bluebells is not a large restaurant, the various dining areas create a cozy atmosphere, some of which overlook a Firepit Garden Seating area that make a relaxing pre/post dinner dinking area when the weather allows.

Expect nothing less than amazing service.. we felt well taken care of and all our wishes came true if that was a thing. The food lived up to expectations. The wine and conversation flowed. Defo recommended.

Outstanding restaurant which was perfect for our romantic anniversary dinner while visiting Berkshire. Lovely ambience inside, soft lighting, cosy sitting areas, beautifully presented. Service from the moment you walk in to the moment they already have your coats prepared is perfect from all the staff, I thoroughly enjoyed their amazing highest-level service throughout the evening. Finally the foods, beautiful canapes with our delicious cocktails, every course was outstanding, even the amazing home-made chocolates with our coffee, such fine touches just exude the quality of this fine dining restaurant.

The food is always good and the service was good. Points for improvement, handling customer complaints needs thought and more work as blaming the customer is just plain wrong. The wine list is one of the best around . The service is commendable. They are so successful they risk being over arrogant and this could be their downfall. All in all good with a few cracks appearing

The service was excellent, as was the food. Loved the canapes and bread before starters arrived. Everything was top notch, but the conservatory area where we were seated is very chilly, so take a jacket/cardi!

Awful place! Avoid! Watched us park up and then informed that there is no availability! Some French arrogant man!

We have eaten here a few times now, everything about this restaurant is spot on, the greeting when you arrive, the selection of apéritif’s, the wine waiter, the waiters and waitresses are excellent. The food is absolutely brilliant. We’re very lucky to have this a short distance from where we live. It’s an absolute gem.

Over priced. Left hungry. Don't go

Wonderful atmosphere and attentive service. Tasteful plating and flavours. Almost everything on the menu could be done gluten free, making it a great experience for someone with intolerances.

I stumbled upon this restaurant while searching for a local spot to book for Valentine’s Day with my wife, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. John was incredibly welcoming, the service was excellent and professional, and the food was absolutely delicious. I’m glad to have this gem in our neighborhood, and we’ll definitely be back. Well done to John and the team!

Bluebells is an absolute gem, delivering a dining experience that is nothing short of spectacular. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for an evening of incredible food and impeccable service. The menu is a masterclass in modern cuisine, with each dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The ingredients are clearly of the highest quality, and the chefs showcase their skill through perfectly balanced flavors and innovative combinations and every visit there has been a new Menu for us experience something new. This time we had a roast and I would says it was one of the best, if not the best I have ever had! The service at Bluebells is equally outstanding. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring every guest has a memorable experience. They strike the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness, making you feel both well taken care of and completely at ease. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for an unforgettable meal, Bluebells delivers on every level with extreme consistency on all visits. Thanks again to John and the guys for a lovely experience. J

Great meal, the first time we have visited the “new” restaurant since its move from the A30 (admittedly a while back now). It was very good and exceeded our expectations. The blue cheese panna cotta starter was divine! We were full after two courses but the choice of desserts did look amazing. The only very slight niggle was service seemed a bit rushed. We were in and out in just about an hour. It was busy and the staff were very pleasant. Good value and we will definitely go back.

It's a proper fancy restaurant. The food is presented like you see on the professional chef challenges on MasterChef. It is also delicious. Staff are professional, very efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. Also quite funny and entertaining. It doesn't even cost all that much more than most Gastropubs. Well worth a visit.

I booked a table for two to celebrate my wife's birthday. Upon arrival we were ushered to the end table in the conservatory. Probably the worst table in the restauant because there is a mirrored wall along one side of the table and doors leading to the garden immediately behind. This is a very cold area to be seated and I recommend keeping a jacket or wrap on whilst dining. I decided to try their vegan menu. Service was very good, my starter was very nice as was my wife's. We both found the main courses to be average. IMO insufficient vegetables were served with meat course. I was disappointed with the dessert which to my taste was very sour.

Amazing food and excellent customer service! Had Sunday lunch here - was so delicious, lovely atmosphere.

Second visit which was disappointing compared to our first visit. Menu not as good. Food taste and quality not as good . I had the pork which was chewy and unpleasant. Seated upstairs in the overspill area which lacks atmosphere and feels like youre in the overspill area. Service extremely pushy on topping up alcohol Offered tea/ coffee afterwards and told people love getting this as you get free petit fours- had a pot of mint tea and cost £13 Whole meal was over £200 ( one bottle of wine ) and there are much better restaurants at this price

Loved the food at this busy restaurant. The flavours, presentation were great and the set dinner menu was good value. The ambiance of the restaurant, whilst busy, is not great and I think it is more about the arrangement of the tables. The parking spaces are very tight for most cars.

Great to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary with such delicious courses and beautiful environment

My son enjoyed his Works Christmas do here, said he tried things he’s never had before and loved it, so I’m giving this place 5***** because they’ve done something that I can’t for my boy, which is change his tastebuds👏

What a find!! Our local Michelin restaurant, L'ortolan in Reading sadly closed in August 24 and we were bereft, but, happy days because we have found a worthy replacement and then some! Food, staff, atmosphere, divine and it didnt break my bank account! It was to celebrate my wife's birthday who has recently broken her wrist, so the staff kindly cut her food up into manageable portions before serving, and the desert came with Happy Birthday piped in chocolate on the plate! We will be back, thank you bluebells x

Fabulous food, staff and venue. Highly recommended

Great food as always and perfect service, attentive without being overbearing!

We hosted our office Christmas dinner at Bluebells for a party of 18, and it was an wonderful experience from start to finish. The service was impeccable, with no detail overlooked. Since our CEO and other executives were attending, we were looking for a high-end dining experience, and Bluebells certainly delivered. John and his team were incredibly accommodating throughout the evening. We opted for a private room upstairs, which provided a beautiful setting for our celebration. The food was exceptional – each course was not only delicious but also exquisitely presented, leaving everyone thoroughly impressed. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and we felt truly well taken care of throughout the night. I’m sure many of our team members (myself included!) will be returning as regulars. A heartfelt thank you to John and his fantastic team for making this such a memorable occasion!

Dinner with family Absolutely excellent service - very friendly and helpful Catered very well for gluten free including canapé alternatives, bread, and clearly indicating where gluten free options available Food was superb - delicious and very good portions. Highlights were the halibut, sea bass and pork Highly recommended!

Wonderful service and food was amazing. Staff was really attentive and all requests were met with no issues.

It’s our third time in the restaurant in the last few months, since we discovered this gem and we just love how consistently great the food is, the service is always on point, the owner John and all the team are super friendly and welcoming. The choice of cocktails is great too. The restaurant is very reasonably priced. Overall it’s such a welcoming atmosphere that we can not wait to be back soon.

We have always had the most delicious food & we have dined at Bluebells now for many years. We took our daughter & partner for lunch on Saturday we all would certainly give a 10/10 score

From start to finish everything was perfect. Service is the best you will get. The amuse bouche and freshly cooked bread are nice little touches. Cocktails hit the spot. The atmosphere was wonderful, it's a special occassion restaurant in so much as you feel special every time you visit because of the wonderful food and staff. Dinner 2 courses for £47 or 3 for £59 is a bargain.

We had an outstanding meal on a Saturday evening. Service was excellent old school and top notch. Food was all delicious we had the Sea Bream , Monkfish, pork and Beef all were amazing. It’s not cheap but well worth the money will definitely return soon . Cocktails were also very good .

We had dinner here for a special anniversary. The food and service were excellent. The mushroom tart, pate, beef and monkfish all absolutely delicious. We are delighted to have found a special restaurant to go to and will definitely return.

A true ‘fine dining’ experience. A bijou restaurant with exquisite food and impeccable service.

The service that John and team offers are second to none. The food is always amazing and is one of my favourite places to visit

Bluebells continues to provide an incredible experience, adding a delicious and creative twist to every menu item—difficult to find anywhere else. The service is faultless from start to finish, and each new season’s menu is better than the last!

The food is excellent. We didn't like having to leave our table after 1.5 hours knowing that our table was reserved for 2 hours under the pretext that the next customers had arrived.

Beautiful food and very friendly and attentive service. Thanks so much

Lovely lunch to celebrate birthday. Friendly and attentive service.

We enjoyed a wonderful family Sunday lunch to celebrate a 21st birthday. The food was delicious and the service perfect. We highly recommend Bluebells and will most certainly return. The thoughtful touches, such as a miniature 21st cake from the chef, were super. Thank you

Faultless in every way ! Food was amazing and wine selection has to be the best in the area by a long way. Worth every penny !

Excellent food - great service - we were so impressed by this wonderful restaurant. Nothing was too much trouble. 5 Stars from us.

This is our favourite restaurant and we go frequently. The food is always good, with imaginative and delicious combinations and sauces. John is an excellent manager and I’m reviewing it now in response to the previous review with the father visiting with a 3 year old. Children do go if they are older and well behaved but it’s mainly for adults and isn’t the place to take a noisy child.

Friendly and polite staff, fresh orange juice is lovely, comfortable place.

Avoid if you are a family. Just left. Great food and service. Owner asked us to leave as my 3 year old daughter was “too loud for other customers”. She was just enjoying herself after eating her dessert. Ruined our first and last experience.

We came here following a recommendation from my daughter and it didn't disappoint! Fabulous food and fabulous service! We will definitely be back.

Been a very long time since we’ve had a food experience like this. The food was outstanding, and the service exceptional. We’ve visited Bluebells several times now and everything is consistently brilliant. Highly recommend you visit if you love and appreciate perfection on every level!!

Absolutely first class food etc. served by the most delightful people. Such an enjoyable night out - everything top drawer!

Will definitely be back. Great food, few nice extras which we weren't expecting; canapés, bread with Marmite butter and 3 mini desserts with our coffee. Well worth the visit

Top food Top service Great atmosphere Thank you, Bluebells 👌👍

Everything was perfect. I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely go there again.

Where does One start ? From arrival to departure this restaurant exceeded expectations, the initial greeting was warm followed by super attentive service all the way through the evening. The food was of at level I have not had in quite a while , fresh , perfect presentation and delicious ! I cannot recommend highly enough . Well done ! 👌

We celebrated our 10th Anniversary in business at Blueblells. We had a glass of champagne awaiting us on arrival the service, atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. Surprise celebration chocolates were given to us, nice touch. Thank you John. Staff pristine, well dressed and friendly. Touch of lux. We loved our first visit. Reccommendation to have the Sunday roast and strawberry mojito cocktail 🍸

Top notch food, couldn't fault it. Great wine menu. Service not over bearing but still attentive. I will definitely be going back and have recommended to many people

My wife and I have visited Bluebells 3 or 4 times before and, based it always being good, chose it for my birthday celebration dinner. We were a group of 10 - family and close friends. The friendly and professional service combined with a superb standard of food made the evening special. Very strongly recommended. Richard Lowe

I have been to this fabulous restaurant a number of times and it never disappoints. This time was even better - the new summer menu is amazing. Fresh, innovative and immaculately cooked and presented - can't wait to try more dishes. The service however is a master class in how a restaurant should be managed and run. John, Loic and the team go the extra yard in all apects of creating a memorable experience. Simply the best restaurant for miles around.

Great food and great service. Lovely interior also. Would visit again.

Our first visit since moving from London Road, if anything our experience suggests it is only getting better. Quite busy due to Royal Ascot, the service was still flawless and the food excellent. No issues at all with being Coeliac with nearly all dishes that could be made gluten free. Very keenly priced (£44 for three courses) means Bluebells is highly recommended.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. John and all the staff make you so welcome and do there utmost to make it a special occasion. 👏👏👏 Well done all of you.

Wonderful food, warm and friendly staff even though we hadn't been before. One of those places where once you've been for the first time you can't wait to go back and become one of the regulars. Truly lovely

Fantastic meal - well worth it - will definitely go again

This restaurant is an absolute game-changer. Food & service is above and beyond. Recommended it 100% only downside I didn't go sooner.

We have eaten here on several occasions and we have always left very happy. The amazing reviews for here are completely justified. The food is exceptional , and presented beautifully. It is also , dare I say , very good value. John and his team are also wonderful..... thank you for yet another wonderful evening, great food and great wine...... Perfect ! We can't wait to visit again .........soon.

Everything was very high quality - the food was fresh, cooked to perfection and impressively efficient service. This was our first time, but we'll definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. We have visited a number of times & have always enjoyed the food. The staff are very good & accommodating & we will continue to visit the restaurant.

First visit to this restaurant, and we'll be back . Everything front start to finish was superb . Would give 6 * if I could. Excellent

This was our second visit and it was amazing. The staff are wonderful, food is so tasty, the restaurant is beautiful. I took away one star due to the cheese board. The cheeses are served straight out of the fridge which made them tasteless and it would have been good if we had been told what the cheeses were, especially for this standard of restaurant. Apart from that it was excellent and we will be returning.

We had a lovely work lunch. All the food was delicious.

Love the place as os our go to restaurant 😍

Went with the family for a birthday/anniversary lunch. Staff are amazing, helpful, professional, food was incredible and the atmosphere was down to earth.

One of my relatives took me here for my birthday recently as we'd meant to go for while. The place looked nice from the outside and there was some parking available if you drive there (although limited). Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted and taken upstairs to our table; a table for two when there was three of us booked. One of the party was effectively in the aisle ... The table was "crammed" to accommodate 3 and meant a juggling act everytime food or drink was brought to the table, mostly by ourselves. This also meant the bottle of wine we had purchased was kept on the counter rather than being nearby so we could pour more if needed. The menu was very limited with about 6 dishes available per course although to be fair the food was of a good standard if not a little "weird" in parts (creme brulee pate). The staff were friendly and in the main attentive, there was one or two occasions where we had to wait / search for staff. Had we not had the poor seating experience I possibly would give it a 4 stars as the place was clean, staff friendly, food good, price ok. However, even without the poor seating experience I would not return as the menu is so limited.

Beautifully cooked food and well presented. Lovely for a special meal. Fixed priced to so you can easily work out costs. Would definitely recommend and come again. Booking essential.

The restaurant has a lovely interior. Really enjoyed the starter (cod cheeks), main (chicken) and dessert (banana crème brûlée) were ok. Fruit punch mocktail was delicious. Portions are good size. In general we thought the food was great. We had a booking for group of six and we all had the feeling of being rushed/ pressured to order, eat and leave within the 2 hours. Understand there is a time limit but perhaps they should allow slightly longer stay for bigger groups. I really did not appreciate the rushed attitude. The service from waitress was spot on, very attentive and always smiling, however cannot say the same about the waiter, quite grumpy. General feeling of the group, we will not return or bring other friends/ family to the restaurant due to the rushed attitude.

The quality of the food and presentation of starter and main were stunning. Dessert was ok. The cocktail very tasty! However they really push you out when your time is over, didn’t appreciate their behaviour. If you only wanna eat good food but real quick, it’s fine. But if you want a more chilled atmosphere for a special treat, don’t go there.

Second time we have visited, first time was about 18months ago and again it didn't disappoint. I am gluten-free, which was mentioned at time of booking. I didnt need to remind them as they greeted us warmly and acknowledged my dietary requirement on arrival. When given the menu I was straight away advised about what options were available to me. The options meant all but one starter and one main couldn't be adapted which was amazing. Will most definitely be coming back again.

I couldn’t be more positive with regard to this restaurant. Absolutely incredible all round. Made to feel so welcome with first class service, food and ambience.

Another amazing dinner at Bluebells! It never disappoints - food, staff, atmosphere 👌. Even the bread is amazing! The only complaint is that you have to book a long time in advance! 😊

WOW. Just wow. The food was absolutely incredible, some of the best I have ever tasted. The partridge was amazing, my wife had the duck which was impossibly delicious, and the deserts were fantastic. If you get to, try the bread and butter pudding. Insanely good, and the apple sorbet and vanilla custard accompany it so well. Just… wow. You NEED to eat here.

Fantastic service, attentive staff, and superb fine dining food. My only grumble would be I wish they used olive oil in their cooking rather than vegetable oil as it’s much healthier, and the Women’s toilets definitely need an upgrade, they are something you’d expect in a seedy nightclub with weird pink dark lights, not a high end restaurant, far too small too you can hardly open the door, need to be made bigger.

By far our favourite restaurant. Food and service impeccable. ❤️

A stylishly decorated restaurant offering hip, diverse fusion cuisine with continental influences. The clear menu, which largely focuses on a freely selectable 3-course menu, consistently offers fine dishes. All starters, main courses and desserts tasted delicious - what I will remember most is the 'spiced monkfish with chilli-coconut rösti in pineapple-coriander sauce'. The cocktails served in advance and the accompanying wines were also impeccable. Another highlight was the extremely quick service, which couldn't have been more charming. A totally relaxed culinary highlight! Bottoms up! 🥂

Perfect neighborhood restaurant. Keep coming back!

Great food but slightly fast service. Recommend but please slow down the maitre”d”.

Didn’t know what to expect but glad we came. Food was really good. Atmosphere was great too.

This is now the third time that we visited Bluebells and it never disappoints. John and team are delivering a fantastic service and the food is delicious. They always cater so well for my wife who is coeliac and have alternatives for each course.

High quality food without the expensive bill. Michelin star is all I can say about Bluebells with a great atmosphere, staff who are the most attentive I have ever come across. Never had a bad experience here and always loved every minute. Best restaurant in the area for miles. 💚💚💚

Great Restaurant and the food was delicious. 50th Birthday party for (23)dinner guests was fantastic and the service (attention to all our guests was outstanding) . Free parking - Recommend 3 courses as the desert (crème brulee) was perfect. [AAA Service *****]

Everything was perfect. Great shout out to the floor team and amazing food.

Fixed price Sunday lunch. Given the top-quality, well-cooked and imaginative food, what a bargain! Lovely service too. At last, to find fine dining in the Ascot area.

Just beautiful , the whole experience was great .. lovely friendly staff.. and beautiful food

First visit to Bluebells, and it won't be our last. The food was very nice , the staff were very attentive, lovely atmosphere . I highly recommend it.

Friends had a lunch to celebrate their birthdays at the Bluebells. We were very impressed by the delicious food and excellent service. Our waitresses were brilliant. Highly recommended

We recently celebrated a birthday lunch in the private room upstairs. The event was an absolute success due in no small part to the fantastic food provided, the seamless friendly service and the ambiance of the room itself. All our friends commented that it was one of the best restaurants for service they had been to. That is quite some accolade concidering they were sat at a table for 18 people.

Really lovely restaurant with super friendly staff and delicious food. Food with attention to detail.

Amazing food, impeccable service,

An amazing restaurant, staff were polite and really attentive - the perfect place for a romantic date or special meal. The only reason for the 4 star on food is that the menu whilst delicious was quite unusual which was lovely for starters and mains but all our puddings were quite savoury for our liking. Overall great, definitely go!
