Nell Gwynn Tearoom in Windsor and Maidenhead

We sat outside and had a snack lunch. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The cafe is in a quaint cobbled side street near the Castle. We all had sandwiches or paninis. They were well filled but quite expensive. The service was good.

Actually inedible. The food here was repulsive. It’s a tourist trap. The setting is the only positive.

Amazing food, drinks & service. The food selection was perfect for families including young children. Great hospitality and quick service. The milkshakes were delicious. We will definitely be returning for more!

If you're looking for a charming spot to grab a bite before touring the castle, this little cafe is a must-visit. The staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. Needless to say, we'll definitely be returning on our next trip to Windsor.

Was so looking forward to a cream tea from a highly regarded tea room. What a disappointment. Scone small and warmed in microwave. Poor quality jam, more like jelly, small amount of poor quality cream. Tea cup cheap and nasty. Tables nothing like those in the photos. I feel sorry for the tourists who genuine believe this to be authentic cream tea.

We stopped here for a cream tea and drinks in the afternoon. The service was quick and very friendly. The scones were very tasty and the kids loved the milkshakes.

We stopped for tea and coffee at this little tea room which was in a side road, opposite Windsor Castle. It wasn’t as busy here as in the Main Street so felt a little safer considering so many people weren’t wearing masks! Outside was very clean and tables were being wiped after every customer. The drinks were good and reasonably priced and service was efficient.

We stopped here for drinks before going round the castle. It's a great location with views of the castle and the band marching out after the Changing of the Guard. Tables on the cobbled street with nice cheerful umbrellas. Nice drinks at reasonable prices.

We came across this cafe when visiting Windsor Castle. It's a nice location with tables outdoors on the cobbled street. I don't think they have any seating inside. We only had drinks but did see others ordering food, which didn't look great or anything special (the scones looked like they had been bought from a supermarket rather than anything baked on site).

It was a nice lunch spot after a visit to its neighbour, Windsor castle. Staff were friendly and we were able to sit in the sunshine and enjoy iced coffees and paninis. We would recommend the Greek-style lamb wrap and if you chose the fajita panini, I would suggest asking for cheese to be added if possible. To finish, we had mini warm sugar doughnuts which were delightful.

Very disappointed. The scone was microwaved and no different to what you'd get in a supermarket. There was a small amount of clotted cream. It gives a bad impression to tourists. The menu outside advertises a large scone which looks far more appetising and I felt deceived. It's not. Has to be the most disappointing and overpriced cream tea I've had. I really can't recommend it. You can get a better coronation chicken sandwich in a supermarket. To be fair the waitress was prompt and helpful. It's the food that lets it down.

We had pre booked yesterday for an afternoon tea, which was sadly lacking in appearance , quality & quantity. Very disappointing. Scones warmed in microwave, jam of poor quality & so was the cream.

I hope UK visitors don’t think this is how we do cream teas. Shop brought scones heated in microwave, cheap jam and a rather small dollop of cream. Very disappointed. Service was quick and good.

I was looking for somewhere to get a drink and was stopped by one of the staff asking if I wanted tea or coffee. This continued with every passer by in a desperate attempt to attract business. I ordered a cream tea which promised an "extra large" scone with jam and clotted cream and pot of tea or coffee. When the scone arrived it was average size, quite thin and clearly shop bought then warmed up (nothing like the picture on the menu), the teapot gave a small teacup of tea thought I was offered more hot water. I declined as it was starting to rain and there was nowhere to sit inside. The staff seemed more interested in chatting to other staff and family members than attending to customers. At a cost of £7.50 I was expecting more so I complained only to be told " that's the price around here". Only stay here if you want t be ripped off and left disappointed, you can get a drink and snack cheaper at Starbucks.

my wife and I visited the tearoom on 18 August 2020 and whilst we had a very nice coffee and cake I was very disappointed to be told that, although the 'Eat Out to Help Out' notice was displayed, it was not being applied to the bill. Either the scheme is being operated or it is not, and it certainly displays that it takes part and is also noted as taking part on the Windsor visitor website. I realise these are extremely difficult times for businesses, and I should stress that it is not the money that is at issue, but misleading of customers!

After walking around Windsor Castle, don't forget a little shopping in Windsor itself. The Nell Gwynn is a stones throw from the castle, and ideal for that quick recovery cuppa.

We stopped off here for a cream tea. Very helpful staff and the best scones we have eaten. It is also in a lovely spot for people watching

What fun to sit in the sun sipping breakfast tea from a pot and enjoying clotted cream jam preserve on a giant scone. Delicious. Polite staff and great setting

Post castle visit, we were looking for somewhere to have a drink. Interesting history about the secret passage and Nell Gwynn’s affections! Sat outside, on the cobbled street the service was excellent.We enjoyed the lemon drizzle cake and the ambience around.It won’t the cheapest cuppa and cake you’ve ever had but a stones throw from the castle, you’re in prime tourist country so prices weren’t unexpected.We enjoyed the experience and can recommend.

We stopped here for a drink and bite to eat after visiting the castle, we had an aperol spritz each which was lovely and refreshing and not too much ice! Then we shared the nachos which were lovely, definitely recommend stopping here for a bite to eat and drink, great view of the castle also

天気が良かったので外でお茶を楽しみました。店員さんの愛想は良く、スコーンも美味しかったです。ティーセットも可愛いデザインを使っているのでインスタ映えだと思います。

I had a lovely cream tea here today. The scone was absolutely delicious and the waitress that served me was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the café. I enjoyed my tea whilst admiring views of Windsor Castle. What more could you want! A must-go if visiting Windsor. Thank you, Nell Gwynn :)

Vi stannade till här för en Cream tea med scones, lite men gott mellanmål. Mycket trevlig personal. Satt och såg slottet rakt framför oss.

We stopped here (against my wishes) for an afternoon tea and scone. Although the scones were quite large and fresh, the amount of jam and cream provided was completely insufficient.The cost was far too high for tea and a scone.I wouldn’t use it again. Ever.

This is a charming eating area where Nell Gwynn is located. There is a history of her association with a former king. The food is good and so is the service.

Only open in season. Nice little terrace hidden near the Castle. Pretty tables and china, good tea, nice waitress. No toilets, so have to use public ones around the corner, which are an absolute disgrace.

We only had a quick drink here to cool us down on a hot day but found the waitresses very friendly and attentive.

You will find this little tearoom down a little lane on the right as you approach the castle. A nice cup of English tea and a lovely cake. The waitress was very friendly and full of local knowledge. Service was good. We just sat and talked and watched the aeroplanes fly over whilst resting our weary feet ... lovely.

This tearoom is situated in a small throughway behind the main street in a line of other similar eateries. The waiter was very nice & efficient. Tables are a little crowded but the atmosphere is pleasant. The scone was nice but the portion of jam & cream was dreadful barely enough for one half of the scone. At £6.95 I think better portions should be had.

Lovely tea and scone in the sun staff very welcoming. Just a hop from the castle. Good pot of tea topped up with a smile . Thank you 😊

Great service and a lovely place to sit in the sunshine and grab a coffee and cake. Waitresses very friendly.

Matching tablecloth and teaset caught my eye. Surprisingly, the scone is nice - rich and crumbling. Scone is larger than normal. Cream tea set is 7pound.

A great place to relax after touring Windsor Castle which is a short distance away. Friendly staff and a good selection on the menu.

Sitting outside, sipping a Pimms, is a glorious way to spend the afternoon. I had an outstanding goats cheese and pear tarte to eat, which was one of the best dishes I had in England. Free wi fi is a bonus. Loved this place.

Call in after visiting Windsor castle. As you come out of the castle, you are opposite this cobbled streets with al fresco dining so we wandered along and stopped here for champagne afternoon tea. The staff, food and location were great.

Strolling round a sunny Windsor recently we happened upon this quaint little cafe off the Castle area. A cobbled street of small cafes and shops. Worth a look. We had tea and cake(Coffee and Walnut if you are interested) and it was delicious. The staff were very attentive and told us a little of the history of the cafe. Apparently King Charles ll had a tunnel build from Windsor Castle to this cafe so that he could visit Nelly in private! A nice little place to have a cup of tea. Beware though, they don't have bathroom facilities but there is a public loo nearby.

The tearoom owners offer lovely food and drink with a very friendly and genuine service. They certainly look after you when you are there. It's in a great spot with views of the Windsor Castle gate and a real sense of history as this is where the legendary Nell Gwynn used to live centuries ago.

This place looked lovely and quaint. Unfortunately the milkshakes tasted very artificial and were powdery. The 'large' scone as part of the cream tea was small and flat. To top it all off there was no toilet on site - surely a food establishment should provide customer toilets. My daughter had to be walked down the road to a public toilet!

Only one scone per person. Just one cup of tea. Lovely waitress. No toilet. Will never come back What a pitty. Such a lovely location just under the castle. Nothing indoors. Just a counter.

Ci siamo seduti ai tavolini di questo simpatico locale, situato poco fuori dal Castello di Windsor, per rifocillarci dopo la visita al Castello. Abbiamo mangiato due ottimi panini farciti con pollo, insalata e pulled pork e delle salsine molto gustose. Gentile e simpatica anche la ragazza che ci ha servito al tavolo. Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo. Consigliato!

Good English tearoom but we found it was more aimed at the tourist. Tea was good, my wife loved the tea infact, and cakes were ok. Service was excellent.

Handy location near the castle, sandwiches, panini, cream teas. We had panini's which were presented with a small quantity of corn tortilla chips and a very plain salad. Perhaps some dressing and peppers would enliven this. But considering location with soft drink circa £19 for two wasn't too bad.

Situated just outside Windsor castle, and steeped in history, which you can read in the menu, we stopped here for lunch and although it was raining it wasn't that cold we sat outside under one of the huge umbrellas, we were offered blankets if we wanted them.

We had just been round the Castle it was a hot day we sat outside in the sun ordered a plough mans sandwich menu said all sandwich came with SALAD and CRISPS we got cheese and pickle sandwich lettuce and some sort of corn chips when I asked about the crisps I was told there were bags of crisps to buy , we did not leave a tip.

So I been past this place a few times but it seemed closed and even the tourist information didn't seem to know when they open. I went past once and it was open so I thought OK I going to have a cream tea and opted for the champagne tea - so so disappointed worst cream tea I had the so called champagne was flat as a pan cake hardly any fizz and the scone was not too fresh and the clotted cream was not that clotted - I have had a few cream teas this is one of the worst.

I had a great experience at Nell Gwynn's when I stopped in for a snack. I wasn't really planning on it but this young waitress came up to me and kindly asked if I would like some tea and cake, so I thought, "why not?" I'm so glad I did. The cake was delicious with the perfect balance of lemony sweetness. The tea was wonderful, too. This place is definitely worth visiting if you'd like an afternoon break from walking around Windsor. Wish I could give 6 stars for the great service and reasonable prices too!

This is a very historic location and an amazing old building. Called in mid afternoon for tea and Scones which where really excellent. The place looks like it is run by Italians but it seems that they know their stuff and are doing a great job and keeping with the historical theme. Very friendly and with excellent service!. Loved it!

Visited here with Newmarket holidays - loved seeing the Castle having not been here for about 40 years Lovely afternoon so we stopped here for tea and cake while taking in the view of the castle... and reading up about the history of the tearoom.

That's a funny thing with the tea bags, my wife and I have different tastes in tea, so we had two different tea bags and only ONE small pot of hot water between us!! For the price these days, why not two teabags in a pot each, and perhaps we might have stayed longer and had something to eat! BUT the biggest disappointment was after plodding around the castle, we were told the café does not have toilet facilities, and were given directions to the public loos five minutes away!! It certainly would have been nice to wash our hand at least!!! As nice as the staff seemed, I would certainly give this one a miss as there are plenty of cafes around the castle.

After walking around Windsor Castle for a morning, the tearoom was a welcome stop. Located on a little side street directly across from the castle exit. We had a lovely sunlit afternoon, enjoying some panini sandwiches and a nice Rose wine. Somewhat limited in menu, but the service was excellent and friendly. The food was fresh and very good. A nice place to rest the weary bones!

So lovely to sit here and people watch overlooking the castle.

Was very disappointed having read reviews. We ordered tea and scones. We were given a teapot of hot water with a teabag on the side, the scones were dry, the cream was identified on the menu as clotted cream but it was just double cream and the jam was very manufactured tasting. Very poor...

vriendelijke bediening en redelijke prijzen, in een rustig zijstraatje. Keuze uit thee, cream teas and panini's

Great location down a lane outside the castle exit. Stopped here on a very hot day so it was lovely to sit outside and people watch. Not sure what seating is like inside. We had a cream tea - delicious and large scone but jam and cream portions were a bit skinny for the size of the scone. Nice, friendly waiting staff.

Wow!!! Absolutely Amazing Views of the castle...Such Friendly and Welcoming Staff that would make you want to go back again and again...Food and Drinks were mouthwatering. I Defiantly Recommend Nell Gwynn Tea Room as NO1 In & around Windsor!!!!!

5 friends met here for afternoon tea. One of whom had limited mobility, and although the tearoom is on a cobbled street, I was able to park close to drop her off, before going off to park. I ignored the one poor review, and was so pleased that I did. The staff were very helpful & attentive. The tea was delicious and the 'Cake & hot drink' offer too good to decline! The cakes were fresh & tasty....coffee & walnut a firm favourite! nd all within sight of the castle! A lovely little place to sit down & catch up at outside tables. Only drawback was that they didn't have a toilet!

We made it to Windsor later than planned and ended up here. I had a very nice scone and pot of tea and husband had an ale. A bit expensive, but the staff was very friendly and the scone was very good.

Great scone and tea experience opposite the castle with a perfect view. Great customer service and traditional English, scone cream tea. Will definitely be visiting again and recommending to others.

Today is a nice sunny day with a gentle Breeze to cool everyone down. Stopped here for afternoon tea.

Went here after visiting the castle. My family and I had a cappuccino, tea and iced tea. Wanted to get soya milk but got the reply "we only have semi-skimmed". They need to be reminded that it's 2017, and lots of people don't drink dairy milk. Tea was nothing special and rather bland. Same for the Cappuccino, my mum didn't like it. The iced tea was served in a beer glass with a straw that was way to small for the glass. The iced tea itself was probably made from a syrup and not tasty at all. There are so many better cafes in Windsor. Don't go there until they up their game.

Welcome cuppa after service in Windsor Castle, brilliant service, great atmosphere and a good cup of coffee

Beautiful tearoom with very friendly and warm staff. Enjoyed a lovely cream tea while looking directly at the extravagant Castle of Windsor. I was here on business but this was certainly a pleasure!

We stopped here after our trip to Windsor Castle. Lovely staff and brilliant service. We only had a coffee but the cream teas looked amazing. Lovely.

Had a lovely latte and delicious coffee cake at Nell Gwynn tea room in Windsor this afternoon. Loved the regal location with views of the main castle entrance. And the staff were very welcoming and attentive. Couldn't have asked for more.

Had a capuccino and carrot cake on a beautifully sunny afternoon, despite being very busy the service was fast and friendly. A great stop from sight seeing or on a shopping trip. Very quaint sitting at a table on the cobbled street.

Was visiting Windsor so decided to visit NellGwynn tea room,ordered a cream tea which was the best cream teas I've had in ages. The service was impeccable and professional. Sat down while admiring the views of Windsor castle. I would highly recommend Nell Gwynn tea room to anyone visiting Windsor.
