Jenners Cafe in Windsor and Maidenhead

My friend and I found this little gem of a place by chance while in the area Geocaching. This place was so good! With a warm welcoming atmosphere. The management and staff were friendly and courteous throughout. It has a beautiful outdoor garden with a lovely aroma and a paved area with tables under a trellis with foliage, it is pretty, and just opposite the river Thames. They also have a playground nearby with a small crazy golf. The breakfast was value for money. With no frills and no fuss, everything is freshly cooked to order. Great location with good parking £5 for the whole day We will certainly be back when in the area again

This is a good place to visit with children. There is a play area with large sandpit and crazy golf and zip wire. It is a short walk to Boulders lock and Ray mill Island, another hit with kids as it has caged birds and small animals with a good picnic spot. We always enjoy a snack and ice creams here in the spring and summer and enjoyed our first visit this year. The coffee is good and breakfast is full on! Staff are friendly and welcoming.

I like this place, the staff were friendly and the food was good. Do remember this is a wee cafe in a park. Some of the bad reviews seem to be a bit weird when this is considered.

Food. Average. Service. Average Location. Excellent Rodent problem. Significant. Menu. Limited.

All I can say is very rude staff and an untreated wasp nest in the garden where my 2 year old grandson got stung.

Avoid, went here this morning within an hour of leaving both my friend and I have been violenty sick. Called to make them aware and they were extremely rude AVOID

Really good breakfast and / or brunch, kids play park, crazy golf, and open parkland within a minute or two's walk. Good quality food, expect about £7 for a breakfast with tea or coffee, which for the area is not too bad at all. Clean, quick service ( there can be queues at the counter in good weather but that's ok) take it in turns to walk the dog or children up and down the river to Boulters Lock then come back for an excellent breakfast. You can buy Dog Ice Cream too - tastes ok as well!

Very rude! Quite shocking. Came for crazy golf and then an ice cream. No netting under cafe, so when one of the teenagers politely asked for a new ball when it went under, told to “go & get it”. Much sniggering from staff. Another member of staff rude later - we “stepped in her cleaning” when we clearly stepped over her mess. Plus a massive rat in the garden.

Decent breakfast/brunch. They can be quite busy and the food is made is fresh so can be a slight wait. Staff were friendly and breakfast was good. Dog friendly too.

Bad service bad coffee. They got the order wrong, they took a long time, and the coffee is not good at all. Also very expensive

This cafe opens at 8am but make sure you don’t want any food until 830am. The staff had a terrible attitude and were unwelcoming. They obviously don’t want any money. Why would any cafe not be ready to serve food when they open?

Need to sweep up last year's leaves and cigarette ends, just looks tired and untidy! Wouldn't go back for food or drinks.

My grandchildren daughter and I visited this cafe and had a wonderful time. There is a crazy golf course, large play park with sand, large grass areas, cage with indoor and outdoor seating. The complex has loads of parking and is situated by the Thames not far from Boulders Lock . The toilets were spotless and the food served was reasonably priced and very tasty. The waiting staff were really pleasant, polite and friendly. We have been here many times and have never been disappointed and will return again. The weather was perfect which really made for a memorable day. Thanks to everyone who made our trip so memorable.

Popped in whilst working locally & what a little gem this place is. Free parking in the car park for cafe customers. Food very reasonably priced & well presented. One of the best full English breakfasts I’ve had for a while. Staff friendly & efficient.

My Wife and I often drop in to Jenner's before or after a walk along this part of the Thames. Sometimes it's just for a drink but more often for a bacon butty or a lunch (a Full Monty with additional black pudding is my 'go to' choice). For a cafe, the food range is quite varied and they're always happy to swap items around. The service is very good and when ready, the food is brought to your table. The food is really good, well presented and is excellent value for money.

I was so pleased with the service I received at Jenners Cafe. The breakfast was delicious (according to my partner). I had a jacket potato, which came with a very large salad accompaniment. It was so big, I had to ask for a 'Doggy- Bag ' to take the rest home with me. I recommend you give this small, but very welcoming Cafe a try !

Me and my partner wanted to visit Jenners cafe for something to eat then head down to bolsters lock. We loved it unfortunately we couldn’t play the mini golf as apparently it was too wet to play. Never the less we ordered some food We ordered a sausage and bacon roll, a bacon and egg roll, chips to share, hot chocolate, and a cappuccino. It was ready within minutes it was very nice. That come to £15 I thought that was pretty good. We sat inside as the weather turned but it was very cozy as its a log cabin. In all very impressed with the experience hopefully next time we get to try the mini golf.

As we walked along the river the umbrellas over the tables attracted us to Jenner's cafe in the park. Serving food until 4pm it was a perfect pitstop. We ordered the Full Monty although there were plenty of choices of hot food or chips, delicious cakes and a great selection of Kelly's icecreams. Under a canopy of wisteria eating our full English was as good as it gets. It had been a disappointing day but Jenner's made it right. We took time to have a round of crazy golf, completing our trip to Maidenhead with a walk recommended by Jenner's lovely staff. Don't walk along the river without stopping and I hope you enjoy your visit as much as we did.

All my friend and I wanted was a sandwich and a coffee whilst we chatted. The local garden centre was expensive with fancy lunch meals, no sandwiches. So we headed to Jenner’s cafe by the river. Although there wasn’t a menu for sandwiches, the ladies...

when i walked into the cafe i was greeted by a young blonde girl, she was so lovely and visibly busy running around and she still served me with such good manners. this overall made my experience here a lot better. good hiring 👍🏻

trip was amazing. lovely young blonde girl was kind mannered and respectful. i watched her run around making coffees and taking out food and serving on till with a smile on her face. lovely to see a young woman with a work ethic - it...

I’ve been into Jenners a couple of times recently. Food mediocre & blonde lady / cashier has been intimidating, sarcastic & rude on both occasions. Customer service so so bad it’s quite amusing.

Attended with work colleagues when we couldnt meet indoors. Coffee acceptable but nothing to write home about.

A rude lady (staff) shouted at me. Food is awful, old and smelly. Never going back again. Avoid if you can................

Stopped here whilst walking along the river on a Sunday stroll. Had some food and a coffee but both were practically inedible, yes it was cheap but wish we hadn't bothered!

Last Saturday my husband and 2 friends of mine really enjoyed a delicious brunch here. Prompt and happy service as well which made us happy. We all really enjoyed the beautifully cooked brunch with hot drinks at a table inside. We will definitely go back...

The best scampi and chips with a lovely side salad we have eaten in a long time. Revolutionary. Well done. Great portion size and quick friendly service.

Really friendly place, good unpretentious food that will statisfy your hunger and fantastic value. Even serve booze!

I work at Jenner’s cafe we care about our customers. Unfortunately we may get one or two that may take our banter the wrong way. We serve our customers with good humour, however the most frustrating thing for me personally is when a customer orders...

A cafe that is so so rude and abrupt. Food Ok but my god the lady taking our order needs some customer services training. Shame as the location is Ok

A family of four with a dog, stopped in on a Sunday afternoon while walking the Thames Pathway. The group was split with the walkers arriving about 15 mins prior to the paddleboarders. The order for the walkers arrived quickly, but the second order fir...

Don't go to this cafe, the staff are rude, intimidating and the manager is absolutely awful. I felt mentally abused in the place, this is how damaged I am after my experience in this cafe.

Wonderful cafe as always spotless and clean and welcoming the ice cream was superb The service excellent love this cafe

Thoroughly enjoyed my first inside breakfast after the latest lockdown. Jenners do an excellent veggie breakfast and I can highly recommend. Delicious and excellent value. (You can also substitute any items on the plate),

Lots of crazy golf holes to play and very cheap however what you pay is what you get. It’s very dated it’s looking very old and run down. The pavement is very uneven which my children were spending lots of time tripping over.

Came here for a coffee and cake which was delish. Very disappointed by the staff not wearing face coverings when this is a law requirement so will not be returning.

The older blonde staff member is incredibly rude and snappy. She gave such mean looks that my sister felt too uncomfortable to stay. Didn’t have soy milk (or a milk alternative; yet you do dairy free ice cream?) and was in extremely unhelpful.

Lovely place right by the river. Childrens park. Staff are very friendly, great sense of humour. Good food, always served hot. Great value for money. Highly recommend this place.

Not a very welcoming place at all, snappy miserable staff. Very mediocre food/drink as well. Shame as has a nice garden area by the river, could be a lovely but I will not be recommending it.

I always come to jenna's cafe for business meetings. Staff are very friendly, couldn't help you enough, food is amazing and is served quickly and taste good. I spend a few days a week hear as its close to my work place. But highly recommended...

Went into the cafe needed to buy a ticket for the car park. One way in up a ramp with my little one and a buggy. On my way out was told they are going to stop buggies coming in! Completely rude person and wouldn’t...

Rude staff. - questioned about using the toilet with my 3 year old son - disgusting toilets wee all over the floor.

Went to the cafe for a late breakfast and was served at the till by a lovely young blonde girl, she had a big smile and was careful to listen to my order properly!

Stopped by at Jenners on Monday 3rd August with some colleagues for drinks and snacks, a decent selection at reasonable prices. Served by a polite young blonde girl on the till who had excellent manners. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

The title of the review says it all. They have it so easy with their location that they don’t need to try (and don’t).

Such a great opportunity to be a 'let's go to' cafe. Kids food not too bad but avoid adult burgers, particularly the spiced burger, which has never seen a spice!. And the counter staff (not the young waiters/waitresses who are lovely) are verging on the...

Went today at 3.50pm to buy my daughter a drink and ice cream, the two ladies who work there just kept barking at people were closing. They had awful attitudes and spoke to all the customers really rudely. They turned the lights off whilst customers...

Contrary to your belief, the veg breakfast is a delight if you have eggs. It's a nice place to visit.

We were walking the THAMES FOOTPATH stop for a snack. Very good coffee and cakes. All the staff friendly and helpful team. Very popular with residents also a playground right outside

Used to get a lovely jacket potato with a nice choice of fillings for a decent price. It used to come with coleslaw and salad too. Ordering today the price has gone up to £7.50!! For a jacket and it comes with nothing on the side. The price is extortionate for the kind of establishment it is and to serve it on its own for that price is daylight robbery. Used to be regulars but won't be returning. Very disappointed

New Year's Day and very busy mid morning with breakfasts. Difficult to find a seat, but located a couple and then gave up part to another couple and child. Surprised that all the cold snack food was pre-packaged, nothing like tea cakes but to be fair it was very busy with cook ups. Far too many uncontrolled and noisy children. Cannot see the point in going to breakfast with your kids to plonk a plate of chip sin front of each of them and then go on your phone for 25 minutes without saying a word to them!

Great location with good parking but very disappointing breakfast. Being a local, I was keen to give a great rating but breafasts seem to be very very average. However, this would be a great stop-off for a family that just needed drinks.

Disappointing brunch. Location is lovely but food was poor. Paper plates! and greasy onion rings. There are nicer places close by. Try Jubilee

Nothing flashy just good food and good service. We each had variations of the breakfasts which came promptly and was very tasty. We sat outside which was nice. Good disabled access to the cafe and also to outside toilet. Good car parking. Ample play areas. Adjacent crazy golf was tempting.

Visited this Thames side cafe with my 89 year old mother and had some lovely food, really well priced and super staff, the big Jenner burger was amazing !!

I went to Jenners Cafe last year and it was brilliant but like all good things sometime they come to an end. They have not got a luxury hot chocolate anymore just a regular one which did not impress me. I ordered a cheeseburger which at 3:30pm on bank holiday Monday this was one of 3 choices out of a hot dog or a bacon roll. This again was not worth my chewing time with the lack lustre cheese. Sorry but this did not impress me this time.

Great Cafe and great staff. Use it regularly without cause to complain. Bteakfasts are top notch and surroundings really are pleasant.

We called in for lunch and were hugely disappointed!

Greasy spoon with limited menu and not particularly clean. Why is it so full of cops on Sunday mornings?

Great breakfasts - family run so makes it individual

Ordered 2 teas, a bacon bap and an egg bap (only £7.60!) and before I’d sat down and sent a text the ordered arrived! Friendly staff. Hadn’t visited here for 20years but will be returning when next in the area. Free parking if a customer at the cafe.

if you want somewhere for your kids to play, for your dogs to walk, this is a great place. The cafe is at the entrance and has a large outdoor area, the aromas from it will tell you the way, good cafe food at good prices, and afterwards a walk along the river tho Boulters lock..

Lovely place to stop for a tea/coffee and a piece of cake after a walk along the river strode or faster walk.

great little cafe for breakfast, brunch. lunch or just drinks. In park near the river with its own car park

Popped in yesterday whilst parents visiting for the day. Nothing much has changed in 40 years. Very busy but didn't have to wait too long. Good sized portions of food and tasted good. Disappointing range of cold drinks.

This place seems to exploit its location and captive audience. The location is fantastic, the surroundings are great, but if only the service could be faster.

After a long walk along the river, we found this place and were pleasantly surprised. Decent coffee preceded a lovely generous salad. Quick service to an outside table, the sun shining ( tho can’t guarantee that!)

Would advise any dog owners not to go to Jenners Cafe. Today I asked a chef who worked there if he could point me in the right direction of a bowl of water for my dog, to which he responded very rude and abruplty that he was too busy for that and I would have to find it myself. To add insult to injury, he then came out a short while later (after a lovely young lady brought some water out for the dog) to argue with me about how busy he was, not to apologise. Such a shame as I have been many times before and it has been pleasant.

We stopped off for breakfast before a music festival, food was good, service was quick and it’s got a decent seating area outside for food and drinks. Big car park too.

Its many many years since we last visited the place oh dear what a difference much for the worse.It was a really warm day and after a stroll thought we would call in for tea and cake . What a mistake the majority of cakes were wrapped in clingfilm and kept on the counter we opted for 2 slices of Victoria sponge as this appeared to be stored in the chiller cabinet also wrapped in cling film paper plates and paper cups I duly paid and proceeded to sit outside the cake was warm to the touch as though the chiller was not switched on it was dry and an indescribable taste I can only liken it to used cooking oil fishy tasting one bite was enough we would have thrown them straight in the bin had they not been overflowing. The time was 14:25 it was not particularly over busy.I said at the start it had been many years since we last visited and on the strength of this it will be many many more.

Great little cafe with a good selection of food. Nice big portions that are cooked fresh. Situated next to the Thames with good parking facilities. Cafe food for breakfast and lunch, not fine dinning.

Situated beside the Thames about 500 yards from the Maidenhead Bridge, Jenners Cafe is an odd cafe. A wooden chalet style cafe with a nice outside seating area, where the main focus is fried food. Coffee and teas and ice creams also available but the coffee is not great. Next to the cafe is a pitch a put which is good for younger children + there is a nice kids play park st the rear. Not a destination food place. Parking is also run by the cafe.

Decide to take the kids to play area on Easter Sunday in between the showers. Drove into the carpark to find you have to go to cafe to pay went in the and find a big que for the cafe so had to join the we to pay only one person serving it was absolutely ridiculous. Maidenhead council should be ashamed. Wouldn't take much to put a machine in the carpark.

A lovely breakfast place. My wife had a non vegetarian breakfast and I had a vegetarian breakfast. It was a lovely meal. The vegetable cutlet was awesome. The entire experience was lovely.

We come here for a great British breakfast and have never been disappointed. Him, full Monte and me a smaller version.

Found this cafe by chance. It was already running down for the day and they had already closed their kitchen....

An excellent little cafe set just a few meters from the river Thames very good coffee and bacon sandwiches ....

I was in two minds whether to go to McDonalds or Jenner's and Jenner's won as they are by the...

Good cafe food. We had jacket potatoes or American pancakes. Cooked breakfast also available. Coffee poor, in paper cups out...

Greasy cutlery. Dirty. Poor food. Poor service. Greasy spoon in the true sense of the word. Service was barely adequate...

Muy buen lugar para parar y tomar una taza de té y un pastel. Incluso tenían para la enfermedad celiaca sin gluten! El personal amable y el servicio rápido.

Disfrutamos de té en Jenner con vista Monumento a Scott y Edimburgo. Los 3 platos niveles estaban llenos de alimentos, dulce y salado, era la válvula de 16 libras con un buen prosecco o £12 con alcohol. Puede ser ruidoso, en especial cuando los grupos...

Nunca me ha gustado este lugar. Pero fuimos como amigos insistieron. Que sucias. Cubiertos sucios. Platos y vasos rotos. Personal grosero. Inmaduro.

With time on my hands and a grumbling belly decided to give Jenna's a try, having driven past a number of times. It was very quiet on the day I stopped and hence the service was good. Although the fish is bought in pre-crumbed and battered it was very nicely cooked, hot and presented with a side salad and coleslaw. Jenna's is what it is. A basic family style cafe with a crazy golf course for family fun. I do not think people should be going there with 5 star restaurant ideas in their head. Basic and staff minimalist at this time of year. I will go back in the height of summer to see what happens on busy days. I was interested to be told in conversation with the manager, who was the cook on the day, that they look after and maintain the part of the river across from them, ensuring there is no boat dumping, which happens quiet a lot and creates an eye sore. Thank you for this caring public service.

Not impressed. Service was slow, hot drinks were cold and the staff gave the impression of not really being interested. Remarks apply to both cafe and golf.

I wish I had read the reviews first, instead I followed google's advice for pet friendly cafes in Maidenhead, and Trip Advisor came up top with recommendations for Jenners. The reason for this is the outside seating area. However you have to order your food inside where they are neither dog nor people friendly. Food decidedly average and coffee simply undrinkable. The only reason I assume they are still in business is their proximity to the park, river and putting green. Lovely spot, but if visiting the cafe itself maybe best to stick to a can of coke and a slice of cake (they buy those in!).

We stopped off for a well earned coffee after a long walk and what a mistake!Customer service was as terrible as ever as you stand being ignored until someone else points out you need serving! One of the unfriendliest cafes we've ever been to. The coffee is from a machine but it was weak and tasteless. At £2 a cup we were expecting more. If you like your coffee don't stop here!

Convenient little place by the river and playground in Maidenhead. The food is ok, just what you expect, service is always very friendly.If it's upmarket you want, head up to Boulter's up the road instead. But for a quick, cheap and cheerful bite to eat, this is pretty good.

It was great to sit outside and have a rest and a nice cuppa. Staff were friendly enough but should try a little harder to make people want to come back. Coffee was out of a machine, might be worth getting a Batista and serving nice coffees that would bring the crowds in. Lovely spot and I am sure that in the Summer it is very popular. We liked the look and the prices of the breakfasts so may go back in the week.

Adjacent to the river with crazy golf and a children's play area this little cafe is quite basic but the food is great and is reasonably priced. Cooked breakfasts are available all day and there are vegetarian options too. Good children's menu. There is a seating area outside as well as inside and there are plenty of picnic tables around too. Wheelchair accessible and water outside for dogs. Reasonable parking charges which are payable in the cafe, on the downside though you may have to wait to pay for your parking ticket if there are lots of people ordering food. Small but good play park, zip wire and sand pit.

Having to queue to lay for car parking in the cafe behind people ordering food and ice creams etc drives me nuts. Shows a complete leave of thought. Have also been having a coffee while they start mopping the floor and putting Chairs in tables before closing time because they weren't expecting any more customers. What about the Ines you a,read have? Clueless and unfriendly.

Jenners Café is situated in a park near to the canal in Maindenhead. There is an ample car park on site. The café is very basic with some indoor tables and outdoor picnic tables. We arrived in the afternoon and were looking for something for tea. We bought individual slices of cake that had been wrapped in cling film. These did not seem particularly fresh and were somewhat dried out. The adjacent mini golf course was OK. Because they were close to closing and we had to rush round the golf, they did not charge us the full fee. We never got to see how good the toilet facilities were as they lock the toilets when they close the café.

This is a lovely little cafe by the river and there is a park nearby, no frills, it is what it is. Quaint and lovely

After a long walk I called in for an early lunch. It wasn't busy (mid November) Ordered my lunch and coffee, which arrived pretty quickly, which was good as I think at this time the women who took my order was also doing the cooking. Service was good and so was the food! There are no frills, the cafe serves good basic meals or some really tasty looking cakes. Outside there is a crazy golf and a children's play area.

Called by - checked the Food Hygiene Rating which is a 5 - so I went in.Functional inside.Gloomy ( lots of trees together with windows that need a clean).Coffee OK and a breakfast bap - served fast and ok too.Fair value for money.

Called in here during weekend walk. Mid afternoon but told we couldn't sit inside. Good tea served in paper cups. Couple waled in asking to play golf.......told they couldn't...too late. In fact it didn't get locked for another half hour. Unhelpful lad serving who looked as if he just wanted to go home!!

This is the proper cafe to visit in the area when measured in terms of value for money. No frills, no fuss, everything freshly cooked to order. Breakfast is best!

Lovely log cabin cafe. Good selection of food and drink at a reasonable price. Family friendly with good service.

Did the crazy golf and had a brunch here. We sat outside as the weather was still fine enough. Friendly staff.

Stopped of here and Had a nice breakfast. Was plentiful and good price. Would visit again when in the area
