Attended this very warm welcoming pub/ restaurant with my baby and some friends. It was very welcoming. They sat us in a perfect place for our baby to also be comfortable. We ordered the multiple plate deals and wow every plate was outstanding. Their options of chips are amazing and food was outstanding. The staff were so friendly and I will definitely be returning again.

Had the best evening at the thatched for my other half’s birthday the Prosecco deal was great value for money. The staff are super friendly and happy to help with anything. Especially Nathan who told us about the great live music they have coming up. Will be back for our next date night.

By far the best green king in maidenhead. They've stopped selling Thatchers for some crazy reason. The football was in but the speakers weren't working so the atmosphere was lacking.

I went to the Thatched Cottage with my son Doug Cleland . It was my first visit to the UK and I had a wonderful time. My experience was awesome. You can take your dogs on a leash have a pint or two of beer and have lunch . It's was an excellent time to sit and meet the locals and enjoy the time spent with my son . It was early June and a bit nippy but fantastic. I look forward to going back very soon .

Decided to visit last night after hearing that the pub was now back open. Placed order for food and drinks for 4 people. 20 minutes later and still no drinks, had to chase with the bar staff. 45 minutes after ordering food, was advised of the food that was not avaible and had to change one of the meals ordered. Pub was not busy. Underneath some of the tables we saw old food, bottle tops and a fork too. Hardly any cutlery too. When food finally did arrive, it was not worth the 50 minute wait. Will not be returning. Such a shame as the pub looks lovely now.

We ordered some food, fish and chips, fish fingers (kids) and halloumi fries. When our food arrived it was lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the thatched, and the refurb that it has recently undergone makes the pub have a wonderful character about it. Definitely will return!

Read on their website that today was opening evening after refurbishment. Wanting to find somewhere local to frequent , my friend and I thought it would be good to support the opening. We spent £12 on an Uber. Were greeted by a very rude lady who asked if we had “tickets”. I explained we didn’t know we needed tickets as this was not explained on the website. She flatly stated “tonight is for ticket holders only and demanded we left. We stood outside whilst we gathered our thoughts about what had happened and where to go. A guy (manager ?) came out to try and explain and acknowledged that the website was not clear. Whilst we waited for an Uber to bring us home, 9 other people were turned away for not having ticket. They at least could have offered a drink as a way of an apology. If the other people were like us, looking for a new place to frequent, then they have lost the new business. Obviously are not interested in welcoming new comers update 07th July . I have emailed the “number” I was given in the response . No reply

Nice pub lovely girls working there, polite and very obliging, reasonable prices, well done girls 👍 RECAP. In the last few visits to this place they have managed to ramp up the price of a drink to the point where I consider them to be unscrupulous, that is taking advantage of the local customers and of course myself and my friends. To finish on that note, I will not be returning to this establishment again. They can say good luck to this but it still won't excuse the fact that they are thieving &#@%+*£s. Shame!!

After being a regular here for a couple of years for both food and drink things have gone seriously down hill. If you’re coming here for drinks and a friendly atmosphere (although maybe not after I post this) then you won’t be disappointed. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for the food, it’s been getting worse for some time. The last few weeks running now they either don’t have half of the menu or what they do serve is missing something (tonight’s example being the beef pie that was ordered and when served we’re told there is no gravy, not to mention the raw broccoli). If you’re lucky enough to get what you ordered there’s also a very good chance it’s either very over or under cooked. As previously mentioned the toilets are akin to something in a third world country, certainly the men’s constantly smells badly with leaking urinals leaving puddles all over the floor and don’t get me started on the amount of drugs that are consumed in there! Although I’ve not met the new Landlord yet I’m hoping he can turn things around as this used to be a great place for Friday dinners.

Lovely little tea room near Windsor Castle, gorgeous fruit scone with the afternoon tea warmed, with the right amount of jam and cream. Choice of tea aswell, and I really enjoyed the chai. My partner said one of the best lattes he has had and the chicken, tomato and mayo sandwich was good value for money and nicely filled. It was my partners birthday and I had mentioned when we entered and the lovely ladies in the cafe bought over a slice of chocolate fudge cake and sang happy birthday to him. Very lovely gesture and not in the slightest expected. Thank you very much for making our visit extra special. Highly recommend a visit.

This is my second time at Coworth Park for afternoon tea. I booked the festive tea so we could experience the carol singers. Sadly the entire experience was quite bland and disappointing. This is the second restaurant this Christmas where we have had to wait for our table beyond our reservation time. The layout of the drawing room is all wrong and they haven't made the best use of the space. My partner was basically looking at a closed door for the two hours. If he wanted a view of the tree or pianist he had to turn around and have his back to me. It would have made more sense for the huge tree to have been placed where we were sat and our table to be where the tree was. The room itself is very bland with minimal artwork and a poor layout of furniture. Another reason I chose coworth was for the fireplaces. Neither were on during our tea and we're blocked by seats so could not be seen. This adds to the cosiness but sadly were not in use. The carol singers would pass from room to room which was not really ideal and appeared very messy. The pianist was playing but with many many breaks so it seemed like he was only there for a short period of the tea. The food itself was ok, I've been to Dorchester and the sandwiches are much better. The fillings were bland and not tasty at all. We had booked a champagne tea. We were half way through our food and I realised that we had not been offered the champagne so I had to ask for it. As for the tea, most places leave the teapot on the table so you can refill your cup but the waitress put it on another table. We had to wait ages to get her attention and by the time she refilled my cup it was almost cold. It was a very disappointing experience and my partner and I both agreed that we will not return. We have many choices in this area and I chose coworth due to the good experience we had last year. Sadly it has changed this year and I will choose another venue for my next afternoon tea. The standard has slipped considerably and I think it was a waste of money. I also think that the afternoon tea trays are not practical, the waitress put ours in the middle of the table and I could not see my partner so had to move it.

We had passed this place a number of times but always assumed it was closed or if not the car park seemed full. However we went past on a Sunday morning and it was open and the car park had been redesigned and had spaces available so we went in. It's a very traditional English cafe .The menu is all on the wall and you have to queue up to order but there is a wide selection of breakfasts to have. We ordered a variation of full English and were given a mug of tea and bread and butter was brought to our table . When the cooked breakfasts arrived very quickly we were given top ups to our mugs of tea. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced around £8.00 including tea. They have also daily specials .It's much larger than I thought as there is an indoor patio area at the back and has lots of table space. It got busy later as the locals came in , if only the tourists knew what they are missing.
