Thatched Tavern in Windsor and Maidenhead

Really enjoyed my experience - really good pie, tasty.

We booked Sunday lunch as a big family group of 12 for a birthday treat. We were delighted to have been surprised with a private room in this gorgeous characterful pub. The staff were so kind, friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious; from soup, to burgers to a full Sunday roast! I wish this was our local pub so we could visit all the time.

What a lovely evening we had tonight for our company event. Food was great as was the service. Gabs had his team on the ball. Thank you. I’m sure we will be rebooking again soon.

We went for Tues pie night, good value £18.50 for pie, mash & veg and a glass of wine or beer. I went chicken, which was okay, the beef looked 100% better, more meat and not so soggy, i will have the beef next time.

The Thatched Tavern is a wonderful pub, with excellent food, and the service is amazing especially Paulo. Had a lovely time!

Excellent evening meal (salmon & gnocchi) with great, friendly & efficient staff.

We had a lovely Sunday roast followed by puddings at The Thatched Tavern for my father’s 70th Birthday yesterday. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the staff friendly. The pub is a quintessential English pub with lots of character. We wouldn’t hesitate booking again even though we are almost an hours drive away and would recommend to friends and family.

Great food Great service Great place

Amazing pub- nowhere better in my opinion. Lovely atmosphere as soon as you walk through the door and the food is delicious 😋

Lovely food, but some poor/rude service. Had to wait 20-30mins to order a drink and waiters were either inexperienced or abrupt/rude

Awesome pub with top-notch service and food. Highly recommended.

We had dinner with some friends here on Saturday night in mid January 2024. Food was very good, not a huge menu but decent choices and some specials also available. Our wine choice was not available and the waitress, who was very good and friendly, got a little flustered about it and tried to steer us to something we didn't really want. Also slow to get any menus when we sat down. But very nice and recommended, we had a lovely evening and will visit again.

Sunday roast was delicious. Knocking out one star because the service was slightly disappointing. It was a delightful experience. I would definitely visit again because of the food, I might edit the review and give five stars if I am satisfied with the service the next time.

A friend booked this pub for a Sunday meet up of three families and we were allocated the private dining area which was bright and spacious. The food was tasty and well presented. The service was very friendly and efficient even though the pub was super busy. Car parking spaces are limited, but you can park along the road so not a problem.

One of the best pubs I've ever been to, I will continue to come back again and again. Amazing service and food.

Nestled in the heart of Ascot, The Thatched Tavern is a hidden gem that effortlessly marries history, charm, and culinary excellence. As a Texan revisiting after 25 years away, my recent experience at this 400-year-old pub left an indelible mark, making it a sentimental return to one of my family’s favorite haunts when we lived in England in the 1990’s. The experience was every bit as good as I recall. The Thatched Tavern's ambiance is nothing short of enchanting. Stepping inside is like going back in time, with its low ceilings, ancient rafters, and a cozy warmth that immediately envelops you. The historic charm is palpable, transporting hungry patrons to a bygone era, and the careful preservation of the pub's original architecture adds to the allure. It's a place where you can almost hear the echoes of conversations from centuries past while relishing the exquisite flavors of the present. The friendliness and genuine warmth of the staff was impressive. Despite being thousands of miles from home, the team at The Thatched Tavern made me feel like a cherished guest. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring a delightful experience made the perfect evening as I reminisced about prior visits to the tavern with my parents. I could feel the spirit and presence of my mother, who is no longer with us, as I dined once again at a place that was a treasure to her. The menu at The Thatched Tavern is a delightful blend of tradition and refinement. The menu’s offerings are a testament to the chef's skill and commitment to quality. Each dish is a carefully crafted masterpiece, showcasing a diverse range of flavors while remaining true to the pub's British roots. From hearty pub classics to more sophisticated options, every item on the menu is a culinary delight. A word of caution to taller patrons: the low ceilings and ancient rafters add to the authenticity of the experience, but do mind your head! It's a small price to pay for the privilege of immersing yourself in the rich history. And thank you again for sending me away with my own commemorative Thatched Tavern pint glass. I promise to put it to good use!

You have to visit. No words can adequately describe this place. We both had a beer and the calves liver which was cooked to perfection (pink). I could have eaten from the whole menu, but hey, it was only lunch. Service was superb. The venue is an ancient site, apparently a building has occupied the site since 1480. Fire in the hearth, great bar. Selection of wines, beers etc are enticing. You really do have to visit from wherever you are!

Came here with my family for a roast. The waitress and food were brilliant. However, the turnaround of tables is too quick. We were asked to leave our 1:30 table at 2:50 as the next guests had arrived. My daughter asked for another 5 minutes as she was breastfeeding her 3 week old daughter and was told she couldn’t have it. Really disappointed with that attitude as it left us with a sour taste of the place.

Really enjoyed lunch at this pub. Staff excellent and very attentive. Had the fish n chips, lovely crispy batter, left room for creme brulee- and why not

Great food, warm atmosphere, really enjoyed my dinner tonight, love this pub/ restaurant, I’ve been coming here for years.

A little surprised how good this place is. Food was fantastic with excellent service. Would highly recommend a visit

This used to be a great place for a veggie Sunday roast so it's a shame that they no longer do a veg roast option at all

Superb. We have visited a number of occasions and each time the Thatched Tavern is excellent. Food quality, choice and service are all top draw. Cannot reccomend highly enough.

I’ve been visiting the Thatched for 40 years or more but hadn’t been for ages. We have just moved to Ascot and can walk to this place. So we did for Sunday lunch. My lack of visiting didn’t take long to become rather obvious as I nipped outside to the loos - apparently they were relocated inside many years ago! It appeared to be fully booked so there’s a lovely atmosphere. I had some pasta starter which was amazing, Mrs had a pate dish which she loved. Then roast beef with all the trimming and a side of cauliflower cheese (absolutely must). Totally yummy. No room for pud. Plenty of drinks - beer for me, cocktails for Mrs and decent red wine. About £75 a head. Excellent value considering what we had. Top service too. Just need to try and remember where the loos are next time.

Incredible Sunday roast, plenty of choice and great portions. If you have the option of Cauliflower cheese, it’s a must!

Being greeted with a nice log fire on a cold Saturday was very welcoming. My wife had braised lamb and I had pigs cheeks, both were very tender and the sauce with both meals was very tasty, both types of mashed potato were delicious and they didn't skimp on the meat portions, seemed a popular spot

Lovely staff and beautiful surroundings.

Popped in for lunch after a business meeting. We had a great meal and the service was also great. I have calves liver which was very tasty and very nice sized portion.

My wife and I had a 2-3 hours to kill having dropped our daughter off at a birthday bowling party in Bracknell. Rather than eating at one of the chain restaurants in Bracknell, we decided to try the Thatched Tavern which was only 15 minutes away. How glad we were that we did - we had a really lovely evening. We received a very warm welcome which very much set the tone for the evening. We were extremely impressed with the service, nothing was too much trouble for the hardworking team. The food was great, it was was difficult to choose what to have. The menu wasn’t overly extensive but we fancied almost all of it. Can’t wait to go back!

I have dined here many times in the past and always been impressed by the quality of the food, however the Sunday lunch was very disappointing. The quality and quantity of the meat was poor (lots of sinewy fat running through the beef and only two small, thin slices) and one bowl of vegetables between 6 felt on the mean side. We also had to look for table service several times.

As always The Thatched Tavern was brilliant. We took friends and they loved it as much as we do. Lovely friendly team, excellent food and the best Guinness locally

Wonderful evening. First visit but would certainly recommend it to friends

Absolutely loved this quaint pub and restaurant. Paulo and Gabs served us perfectly and the food is delicious. We found you on Google reviews and here is another great review. Had such a fun lunch here with my Mum, thanks for a great afternoon.

So I have been coming hear for over 30 years. A great real English pub and with excellent food. I treated my Thai girlfriend to her first beef Sunday roast. It was excellent as was the Argentinian Malbec we had to accompany it. Great staff. Great garden. First class.

Fantastic historic pub dating back to the 15th century, we were lucky to have live acoustic guitar that evening which really added to the ambience, service was amazing and the food was good enough, the reason for 4* and not 5 is the poor beer selection - no good craft beers, weak and tasteless bitter on draft, very few bottled/can options and an array of commercial and not very good lagers, frustrating that this is another pub that hasn’t embraced the craft beer movement which is reflected in the poor quality beer. Other than that great.

Had the Sunday lunch option in this quaint venue but I have to say I was disappointed! The staff were great but the food fell short, the beef looked amazing but it was full of stringy sinew and the vegetables were the wrong side of raw to be edible! Sorry people but I've had better :-(

Really nice place with great food and service. Didn't see the thatched roof!

Fabulous lunch in great company

Nice old pub/ restaurant. Food was good.

Amazing desserts, wonderful service. Highly recommend

We visited the pub for the first time after living in the area for many years and we were not disappointed. The service was exceptional and food delicious. Shared some “for the table” as starters, choice of mains was good and puddings shared. All plates were cleared!

We had a lovely relaxed Friday lunch at the Thatched Tavern. The staff and customers were friendly. They have a good selection of beers including a house bitter and pilsner made especially for them by the Windsor and Eton brewery. The food was very good and there was a nice choice of dishes. Worth booking if you go on a weekend as it gets busy. Recommended, we will be going again.

Lovely old pub, excellent food, in particular the roast. It was busy but the staff did a great job and came across excellently. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will definitely go back.

It was fantastic. The service was fantastic. They put a lot of effort in which shows. Lovely family run feel to it.

Awesome place food was lovely and staff were helpful.

I had some friends from out of town coming over and we wanted to go for Sunday lunch. I picked the Thatched Tavern because of its good reviews for Sunday lunch. We were not disappointed at all, not only was the food delicious the service was excellent too and it was very busy! Lovely friendly staff. Would definitely return!

I don’t usually leave reviews but this was genuinely the most disappointing service I’ve ever had. It is a shame because the food and the inside of the building was really nice. Upon entering this otherwise charming old pub, we were met with a rather disgruntled waiter who seemed inconvenienced by our presence. He begrudgingly took a drinks order and we had to prompt him to take our food order. Once we received our food, nobody came to check if it was okay and if we were enjoying it, let alone offer us more drinks. Once we finished we asked for the bill to which the answer was a snappy “yep” as this waiter walked past (no eye contact). 5 minutes later we still had not received our bill so had to ask another equally grumpy member of staff. I was also disappointed by the lack of thatched roof however that is a minor discrepancy.

Apserlutly amazing, fabulous food and staff. Had an amazing experience went with my 2 Godfathers, Mum and Auntie. Such amazing meal. Im definatly be recomending to friends and family 😋🤩 xx

Great environment... friendly staff ..amazing food...Great chef ..his yorkshires need seeing to!!!!!

First time, but it won't be the last! We called for a beef roast dinner, and it was delicious. Fantastic food, excellent service and wonderful seating outside. Highly recommend.

Fabulous food best meal out we have had for a long time excellent chef the waitress was so polite and lovely the Barmen very pleasant the whole team together you couldn’t fault we would recommend anyone to go there it was relaxed great food good prices good atmosphere excellent staff we were visiting for the races and it was a great way to end the day

Quite possibly one of the finest pubs in the area and around. Beautifully cooked food, presented well and served by an outstanding team. This pub delivers head and shoulders above. Chances upon and beyond delighted!

This "Gastro" quite simply excels at everything it does and offers. The staff are a happy delight to interact with, the food is of the highest standard and the atmosphere is a great mix between pub regulars and discerning diners. Can't recommend it any better than that. Excellent

Having heard great reviews came on Sunday evening (Fathers Day). Restaurant has been busy all day but staff were friendly and very attentive even though they were probably tired . Food was amazing . Absolutely delicious as was the wine list. Just look at the photos I have attached they speak for themselves . Absolutely brilliant. Thank you .

Apart from the fact that this is a very pretty pub, the food and service are excellent. We are regular diners here and both service and food are consistently good quality. Worth a visit!

I love this beautiful little hidden gem. Great food, service and very friendly helpful staff. I will definitely be popping back very soon 😊

Superb lunch here. All the food was tasty and the staff extremely polite, friendly and efficient.

Had a great lunch in this classy pub with friends we haven’t seen for years. Super friendly service with incredible food. Can’t wait to return. Thanks to all of you guys for making a special day for us.

Great place and food But when booking if you book in advance its worth double checking your bookings again before you are due to go because twice now they have our bookings wrong and the first time we nearly did not get in due to them loosing the booking

What a fantastic find. We celebrated my mother's 90th birthday here and were made to feel so welcome as soon as we stepped into the pub. Personal drinks at the bar served by Gabriel were excellent . Nothing was too much trouble and the attention...

Probably the best pub in Berkshire for Sunday lunch! Cracking hospitality & superb food. We have always found the service outstanding. Thank you to Lawrence, Gabriel & the team.

Great place, to spend time with friends and their dogs

Beers and snacks only but lovely pub and nice patio beer garden

Took a chance and popped in on a Sunday hoping to have some lunch. Really happy we stumbled across this lovely pub. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly, managed to find us a table on a busy afternoon and the roast beef lunch was delicious. Will definately be back.

Great pub restaurant, we have been going for years - particularly enjoy the Sunday roasts.

Nice village pub, food was good, but service very poor. Waited about 25 minutes for food to be cleared and felt a little bit forgotten about, especially as it wasn't overly busy.

Very much enjoyed Sunday lunch @ Thatched Tavern today. Superb hospitality & outstanding Sunday lunch. Cracking atmosphere! Best pub in Berkshire.

Lovely character building with friendly efficient staff. Food was good.

We were so impressed with this lovely pub. We booked late afternoon for Mother’s Day. We were welcomed by each member of staff as we walked to our table. They were personable and lovely. We were served drinks immediately and the service throughout was outstanding....

Nice old pub, poor service. Seated in a corner of the restaurant and forgotten about. Had to go to the bar to order drinks but they still didn’t get the hint so went back to order our food. Calamari was very nice but don’t bother...

You can't beat the ambience here, food and staff amazing. Enjoy - I did!!

We had a lovely Sunday roast today. The customer service was first class. The food was well presented and very tasty. A lovely pub.

Historic pub serving lovely food. Although the place was extremely busy, service was spot on with the quality of food superb in quantity and taste. Well made cocktails. Parking was a challenge.

Fabulous country pub with the most gorgeous beams and real fires! The food is delicious and the ambience harks back to the day when a pub was a pub! The locals are very cheery and the wines superb but what is absolutely the best about...

Amazing lamb and pork belly roast! Nice atmosphere and great staff.

A Sunday lunch that hits every mark and checks every box. Friendly people work here. They treat you like a local and they take great care and attention in everything they do. Lots of outdoor seating too, with cozy booths cleverly converted from garden sheds....

It's a super cute place to know near Windsor. I went for a Christmas dinner, and it was an amazing experience. Very English one, I would say. The service could be a little bit better. Food is very well prepared.

Very nice Sunday lunch with very good service. Staff never stood still and where always to hand to assist along with the gentleman on the pass which made everything run like clockwork. First time visit but not the last.

We have known The Thatched Tavern for many years, but stopped frequenting it when the food and service deteriorated. We had heard it was back to its previous excellence so revisited yesterday. So glad we did. Firstly my fellow diners were all delighted with the...

Delightful 400year old pub situated down a country road. Food was amazing and a great selection of beer and wine. Service was with a smile and speedy. Highly recommended.

First time visiting and eating. Excellent in every respect. Will be frequenting again in the not to distant future.xx

Good evening Laurence, Paul, Kevin, Ricardo and staff Thank you all for making Saturday a very special lunch occasion. Everybody commented on the wonderful service, exceptional food (well done Paul) and wine. One couple, who have been married 35 years had their first date at...

Great Sunday roast as always service was excellent.

Well tha was a nice little find off the cuff lunch. Really lovely staff and absolutely gorgeous food. Welcomed the 2 of us and 3 dogs at their busy time on a Saturday. Highly recommended. Thanks guys it's good to see a pub that ticks all the boxes these days.. way too many sh*te pubs lately. We'll definitely come back x

I used to go to the “Thatch” all the time, but moved away and haven’t been for about twenty years. I took my Grandaughter there for lunch before she returns to uni. It was exactly the same (although the Loos have been upgraded luxuriously) still...

Very friendly staff in wondrous historic building.

Absolutely wonderful meal. This was our first time visiting this pub and we were very impressed. The staff were very friendly and professional. I had calves liver with bacon on a layer of mash with cabbage and my wife had salmon and I can honestly say it was probably the best meal we have ever had. Have already booked for another night.

We booked for New Years Eve. Absolutely cracking expérience! The chateaubriand was simply superb. Service was outstanding and it was great to see all the friendly faces who are passionate about what they do. A well thought out and fun quiz rounded off a thoroughly...

This is such an easy review to leave. What a wonderful afternoon we had, Gabriel fitted us in at last minute, party of 8 plus a newborn baby. They were so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The food was delicious from starters to dessert. Ambience in...

Great venue, good beer, fabulous coffee. I was underwhelmed by the food. Not an exciting menu and what was served was small portions that did not excite my taste buds.

one of the best gastropubs in Ascot. We have been going here since our house is being renovated. They've become family, and the food choices are delicious, and seasonal. And the staff are so helpful and loving - we really appreciate them!

Classic quality British pub experience. Nice venue. I had heard amazing things about its food but was a bit underwhelmed. Our food was fine but nothing more than that. Service and drinks were excellent.

Great old world atmosphere, grandfather clock fireplace, and the apple cake custard dessert was out of this world. Thank you!

We went here for a pre Christmas family lunch for 14 of us. We have been before and there is a lovely large room off one of the main bars which can be set as a single table to accommodate all of us. The booking...

Offered water for the table while my wife and I read the menu....nice touch! Our drinks were delivered to our table followed by our chosen food. Tasty and warming soup made our lunchtime visit a perfect experience. Nicole was a joy to talk to....attentive and...

Love this old place. Vibe is great, food despite short menu is fab and the curly haired kid that plays guitar on Friday adds that cherry on the top.

A lovely place, attentive staff, memorable food.. Golden memories, atmosphere just right. Will definitely go again

WOW! We were recommended The Thatched Tavern by our Airbnb host as an anniversary celebration and it certainly didn't disappoint. Very attentive and friendly service with the most delicious plentiful food. We had starters of calamari and smoked mackerel pate and roast beef and half...

Food was amazing staff were very good nothing was too much for them and service was good too even though it was very busy big mention to Nicole who was our wateris would recommend to all friends and family and will be going back again thank you for a lovely family night

Dog Friendly and Soup made with love ❤... Always a pleasure to be in the company of like minded kind honest decent people
