Hall & Woodhouse Taplow in Windsor and Maidenhead

We were a large table to celebrate the birthday of a good friend. Food was great, service was pretty good although rather slow (waited for an hour), and the fun atmosphere was certainly a reason to return

Jack MC Was an absolute star! Couldn’t fault anything he did, his service was above and beyond!!! Very very accommodating! Will definitely be back!x

We had an absolutely fabulous meal this evening at the Hall and Woodhouse. The food was DELISH, the service was impeccable (thanks Josh) and the vibe was relaxed, cool and friendly. Great evening all round, highly recommend.

Paid £9.45 for a Long Island Iced Tea which was a glass full of ice. There must have only been 100ml liquid in it. What a rip-off! Did I complain - no, because there was only one member of staff taking orders, clearing plates and serving food so it was utter chaos. We were going to have coffee but gave up as no-one was there to take the order and no-one was interested in attending to us. We waited 20mins for the bill and couldn’t get out of there quick enough. Rubbish experience.

Such a warm welcome from staff, place was very busy because the sun was shining. Food was good and plenty of it! One downside for me, far too many dogs inside the restaurant! Some whining and even some begging at tables. If they must bring their animals out with them to eat, surely an outside table would suffice. It was rediculous, it spoiled our experience.

We had a table booked and we were pleasantly surprised how nice it was to be greeted enthusiastically and made to feel welcome! The decor is interesting and very pleasant. The menu has lots of choices and when it arrived the food came out nice and hot, and was really well presented. Drink refills were offered in a timely manner and the waitress made sure we had all we needed. Our party consistsed of ages ranging from pensioner down to 12 years old and everyone had a fabulous time. Checkout the outside furnished areas and the wonderful riverside if you do visit. I would recommend your trying it for yourselves.

We went last Sunday at 6 pm for supper having been several times before as we are fairly local. We were informed that there were quite a few dishes not available which was disappointing but at least we were told straight away. The food that we chose was very tasty and arrived quickly- in fact before our drinks which was slightly annoying. When we ordered deserts the ones we wanted were no available however Jack asked us to chose alternative desets which he deducted the cost off our bill and was very apologetic. He explained that they were very short staffed. Despite the limited menu we enjoyed our visit and felt that the food and service - especially from Jack were good and we will go back

Ordered a bitter shandy, took one sip to find the lemonade element was non existent. Returned drink to the bar to advise, young lady tested the lemonade from the dispenser and said oh yes the syrup has run out. We'll get the barrel (or whatever rhese syrups come in) changed, asked me to take a seat. After 15 minutes went to enquire about my drink, was told still sorting it. After another wait the drink appeared, personally couldn't taste much difference from the first drink. Took one mouthful and left the rest. This venue is really lovely and has potential to be something special, but as it stands I definitely won't be returning. Took my appetite and lunch money to the George on the Green at Holyport, amazing as usual. .

Lovely setting, table outside overlooking the river. You order and pay for food at the bar when you arrive, giving them the number of your chosen table. We had a club sandwich and a halloumi wrap, both were very tasty and arrived promptly. It was a busy Bank Holiday lunchtime too with lots of people sitting out enjoying the sunshine. This was our second visit. We had a disastrous experience at Christmas when our food was cold and inedible and service very slow. So pleased we decided to give it a second chance today! Will definitely go back.

We were hesitant to come here after looking at some of the reviews. However, I have to say a massive thank you to Issy, our waitress, who was brilliant. The food was nice - nothing amazing but nice. There was an issue with my husband's starter, but Issy immediately apologised, dealt with it, and gave him a different starter. She also kindly took the starter off of the bill. Service was excellent - not too quick but also not too slow. The surroundings of the restaurant are lovely, looking out onto the river. The inside is also really nicely decorated and has a good vibe.

A gorgeous and perfectly situated restaurant, right alongside the Thames. A great range of beers and spirits, and an excellent atmosphere amongst staff and guests. The food is excellent, and the bar staff, waiters/waitresses are extremely pleasant. I was surprised at the very competitive prices considering the location, and will definitely re-visit. The car park certainly caters for the size of the place too, with ample space to cater visitors. Well worth a visit if you’ve never been.

I have visited H&W three times. The restaurant and location are lovely. Right by the river and busy atmosphere. However, on the first occasion we had consulted the online menu and had decided to have pancakes with fruit. We don't enjoy cooked breakfast so this seemed a good choice. However, when we arrived at 10:40 we were told that brunch was not served until 11:30. We decided to wait and have a coffee. At 11:30 we went to the bar and asked for pancakes only to be told that they don’t do them! I showed the manager the online menu and he apologised that it had not been updated. I have since checked the online menu 10 days later and the pancakes are still on the menu along with a photo of them! This week, I visited again twice and had a coffee with my daughter and again with a friend. There were no croissants baked and the only 'morning' food available was on a reduced breakfast menu. On both occasions, we were offered croissants which needed to be baked by the chef and had to wait 20 minutes. It would be really good if croissants and pancakes were readily available in the mornings and also, maybe granola, yogurt and fruit. Just a suggestion. I can tell that the restaurant is very popular but, for me, a healthy brunch would be a good choice. Not sure if I will go again unless it is just for coffee!

It’s a great location and always busy on sunny days but drinks are way overpriced . Two double gin and tonics Two single G&T on plain tonic . Large white wine two coffees . £72

Excellent service. Great food. The staff were so accommodating and sincerely wanted us to have the best experience. Thank you.

This is a stunning location right on the river, it's full of atmosphere and should be great experience , however appearance can be deceptive! We came earlier in the day from a drink post a long walk the person serving was more interested in getting her mates the friends and family discount as opposed to getting our drinks . On returning in the evening where we had booked we were shown to our table and as soon as we said we would like to sit out side our server just said help your self and order at the bar. Then proceeded to tell us that 3 items of the main were not available this was 7:30 pm on a Monday. The food arrived and I would say it was mediocre and over priced for what it was. Other observations included that tables were not cleared in a reasonable time scale . To allow other patrons to sit at a clear table one couple sat on a table that had not been cleared after two sets of couples had had drinks the glasses just piled up.
