The Alma in Windsor and Maidenhead

Lovely friendly pub. Tasty food with a friendly service.

Very unpleasant landlord. The staff were ok but the landlord was abusive to my children as we left the premises. Absolutely unacceptable to speak to a young disabled child in the way he did. I think he needs to be more respectful towards his customers !!!

A very welcoming pub. Fabulous beer garden. Plenty of choice beer /ale ect. Friendly helpful staff.

The service was very friendly and the food was very tasty

Had a great evening. The food was great, but what really stood out was the excellent atmosphere and top-notch service. The garden was a real bonus—perfect for relaxing with the kids before the busy hours set in.

A very nice place, a typical English pub. Delicious food, Fish and chips melt in your mouth.... Guinness beer, as befits such a place... I recommend it

Sunday roast very basic. Tea Spoon of stuffing. Unseasoned, under-cooked roast potatoes. Unseasoned veg and undercooked, rock solid. Having said that staff were very freindly.

Our fav place to eat and drink (our local). Staff lovely, vegan options available. G&T - always. Outdoor garden anf dog/family friendly.

Lovely small pub with fantastic service and great quiet atmosphere

Very good service, good food and nice garden in good weather.

Lovely pub Lovely staff especially UT

Great traditional pub with great service from behind the bar

Called Yesterday morning to try and get Sunday dinner.. Told don't worry just pop in turned up myself my wife and family and then they wanted to put us eating food on high stools in the front bar. I told the staff member we were told to come down and there were very rude, this place has definitely gone down hill since last year.,, found the staff unhelpful and very rude.. Seems like the new owner doesn't value old customers. ..If there's one thing in Windsor you will definitely get plenty of restaurants and bars that will accommodate your needs and appreciate our business

Great pub. They do a lovely Sunday roast and the staff are very friendly. It’s on a residential street so slightly out of town but really enjoyable atmosphere. Mid-week, they have acoustic sets from various local artists. Funny fact - Orlando Bloom was there last year on Paddy’s Day singing!

Unfortunately very average. Have been a regular drinker at the Alma for years. New group ownership has smartened it up BUT it now feels a bit corporate not family. They had no record of our table booking despite several calls. Initially they just said there were no free tables until we pushed back. Food was ok pub grub but basically microwave pre prepared. Wine expensive for average fair. Such a shame as it is my local and a reasonable drinking venue but won't be eating there again.

We booked a table for 6pm last Sunday to have a lamb shank roast dinner, when we arrived the man behind the bar asked us to pay for the dinner as well as our drinks before we had even ordered our food. We changed tables as it wasn't busy,we then ordered our meals,the food was lovely, but while we were eating the man came over with the paying machine and asked us to pay again!!.(how rude)... We then got some more drinks,I then ordered a glass of Merlot that was then served in a tall wine glass,(not a red wine glass).. Really bad customer service by this man,seemed like he did not know what he was doing!!! Would eat there again as the food was excellent 👌 But they need decent bar staff that know about front off house skills.

Beautiful place, roast was so good

Gone down hill. I used to be a regular living a few years away. Returned with high expectations and was let down. The standard of the food has dropped dramatically. The previously famous burger was completely average. The chips in a cone that were also well know were also a let down. Half the quantity and as far as I can tell oven chips. Not completely awful but a long, long way below its former glory. Quite upsetting from the view of an old fan. I wouldn’t bother again.

Lovely pub, lovely and clean and staff friendly and welcoming. The only fault I had was it was very cold and customers were sat with their coats on. I would hate for customers to go elsewhere. Apart from that I can’t fault the place.

Popped in for a bite to eat. Nice atmosphere and decor and very friendly staff. Lovely food, all in all a really nice visit.

Had the pleasure of eating in this friendly pub on the outskirts of Windsor. From the moment we walked in the friendly smiling faces of the staff were a joy. Although it was early evening, I could imagine that the atmosphere would be electric as the space just gave off those vibes. The food choice and quality was excellent and a slight error in the order was quickly resolved without any fuss. Good choice of beer and lager. Highly recommend should you be in the vicinity.

We where disappointed. Been coming the the Alma for years and was the best Sunday roast in town at one point. The food was not great. Although the service was ok, staff where unhelpful with the food complaints and unable to correct errors. My friend was embarrassed as he was the one who had suggested we eat here due to its once great reputation. Unfortunately our whole party left hungry and disappointed with the food. We later found out it had recently changed hands so we where hopeful it may be as good as it once was one day? However, reading some of the answers from the management on these reviews does make one concerned. Wish you all the best but sadly, no longer for our group

Never been here before but were recommended by friends who we met there. We didn't eat but the food coming out looked very good and we overheard positive comments from people. We had a great end to our break in Windsor and we would highly recommend the Alma.

Unfortunately, since the change of management the Alma has lost its charm. This is my local and I am (was) a regular at the pub. Visiting at least 3 times a week. However, since new management the quality and general atmosphere has dipped plus the place seems emptier than usual. In addition, managements vile comments to any constructive (or unconstructive) critiscm on this platform is reprehensible. After been shown these replies by another Alma patron I am disinclined to visit any of the pubs within this managements portfolio. A real shame as this used to be a hub of the community

We were recommended the pub as a family friendly pub to take 7 children out for a meal and to play in a pub garden. The bar staff (a man and young girl) were really friendly and helpful and greeted us as we arrived. We ordered food and spent well over £200 on food and drinks. The food was lovely! There were strict signs all over the garden area about 'not running' if this is supposed to be a family friendly pub then surely you would expect children to have fun in the garden. The landlady (can only assume it was her) shouted at the 2 youngest children (3 and 4) who were playing hide and seek to 'stop running!' As they are only 3 and 4 it's not like they are athletes and running at high speed! More like an adults walking pace. We also had 2 teenagers 16 and 15 who wanted to sit inside after we had eaten, so maximum they were there for around 10minutes ,as they were cold sat in the garden. They also got told to 'leave and go back to your parents, as you have to be 18 to sit in here' by the same lady. I completely understand there are certain rules, however if you are trying to promote yourself as a family friendly pub then I'd suggest you learn how to let little things go and support larger families. The garden area is lovely and if you let parents be parents, we would have told the children to slow down and not be bellowed at by a stranger. There weren't many families in the garden at the time so them playing wasn't interrupting other families either. All in all, we definitely won't be returning here or recommending this as a 'family friendly pub'.

Food was great, staff were amazing, definitely return again. We went there a year ago, the place was a dump, however under new ownership, it has had a revamp and it is the nicest pub in windsor. Will definitely go back more often 100% recommend.

Recently taken over I decoded to go for Sunday lunch . We booked for 2pm and the place was dead . We ordered the Sunday roast of beef . It came on lukewarm plates . It was really disappointing, veg didn't have much flavour , the carrot was served as a big carrot cut In half . The gravy tasted like it was a ready mix not the juices from the beef . The alma a few years ago had a real buzz to it but this feels like a different pub.

So from change of the new management it's hasn't been so nice from them changing over this year so that we got an can of coca-Cola, but my friend went back to the bar and told them are you selling multi packs as we did not realise that and was charging us £1.90 when there £0.90p in the shop and then we go back to the bar to more drinks and now we cannot go back there because we told them they was doing that really rude staff don't go not welcoming at all

Great atmosphere and friendly staff and patrons.

Came here with a couple of Colleagues from work. Great atmosphere, decent prices. Staff were great and food was delicious. Will start making this a regular spot to come too and the garden is beautiful. Even doing a special of jug of pimms and nachos, will be back very soon

Good food, lovely garden, great atmosphere and service. Much needed respite after the hell of legoland

Super great. Excellent staff, very friendly. The pub is very tidy. Great garden area. We are international visitors and we had a long day today. A wonderful oasis.

Abit strict if you have kids with you, amazing food though! Great little boozer

The pub was not as busy as we had expected it to be upon visiting, however the staff appeared to have no idea what they were doing and took far too long to make our drinks. I asked one staff members politely to not hold his fingers at the top of the glass whilst he was pouring the beer but he then questioned why this was an issue. Obviously I do not want someones fingers in my drink and I wanted it to be poured correctly. We have not had issues with the alma before but since returning it is clearly not the same. The refurbishment is also very gloomy and strange.

Food was inedible unfortunately. Staff cleared away nearly full plates of meat. We let them know it was too chewy to eat & didnt smell or taste right and they didn’t really say anything? We don’t like to moan however the next day a few people from our party were quite unwell from the little food they did eat. There was no apology whatsoever which would have gone a long way, just a very rude manager who basically told us we were lying. 5 people ate the same meal and all 5 got sickness and dioreah, that’s quite the coincidence!! Eaten here many times previously, never used to be any issues, however they have recently changed hands and so it has very much gone down hill sadly.

Beautiful Place what a transformation, staff very friendly we have well cooked lamb shank was very delicious and lovely cocktails

Me and few of my friends visited Alma on Sunday. Amazing service from Kamila, great snacks from kitchen and lovely, relaxed time with few pints in the garden. Will definitely come back!

Best pub in Windsor in my opinion. Has a nice little bar area, feels very cosy in the winter. Has a nice garden and the food is pretty good.

Awful experience here. All family who had the roast beef dinner were violently ill. When I informed the restaurant they denied it dating it was a tummy bug. Coincidental that only the people who ate the beef were ill. Staff who I contacted had a terrible tone and attitude. Do not go here.

Had a lovely roast dinner with my family on sunday, beautiful garden, great atmosphere and great food

We’ve visited here several times over the years for one of the best roast dinners In Windsor, I didn’t know it had changed hands until we arrived today, the garden looks great, it has all been done up. It’s a shame about there roast dinners...

I think this lamb chops are delicious, very tender, amazing. The fries are very crispy and tasty, the ham is tender enough to go with the potatoes. If there is a chance next time, I will definitely eat again😁

After visiting Windsor castle, we googled "Sunday roast" and found this place. Easy parking and staffs are friendly. Food is nice and waiting time is acceptable. Lamb shank and chips are particularly good. We all really enjoyed it. My husband ordered beef roast but he prefers my lamb as he said the portion is bigger and the meat is more tender.

Returning to the Alma with it's new management, I liked the new layout, the cleanliness, and the self-service dog bowls! Keelan the manager, was friendly and relaxed. I enjoyed lunch in the garden and will definitely be back!

There is no pleasing some people. Pub is now clean and welcoming. Food is really nice and can’t fault the place. If you don’t like it don’t go in there

Where do I even begin. This place has everything to offer. Being a local in Windsor for 30 years, I’m so happy this pub is in good hands finally. The refurbishment is incredible, the Sunday roast was so good. Staff were friendly, really attentive and...

This establishment has been recently updated and continues to offer a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The food is of a high standard and the staff friendly and attentive .

Having been recently refurbished and under new ownership I honestly expected more! The drink selection isn’t great, the staff are not great, the food isn’t great and the atmosphere isn’t as good as it was! We went last night for a few drinks and something...

A warm welcome with an excellent menu, super vibe & accommodates all weather types! Family and dog friendly, but also perfect for couples and adult groups. The pub garden is large & clean, and the interior decor reflects a bygone era of style & class.

Great new pub! Just opened and staff were friendly and a lovely atmosphere. Beautiful large garden, definitely go back and try food next time 👍

First time here had food absolutely beautiful staff lovely and bend over backwards to make sure you have a wonderful time will be back well done all.

I paid an £80 booking fee online (8 people eating) which is either supposed to be taken off your bill or refunded to your card. It has now been almost 2 weeks and the money has still not been refunded. I have tried to call multiple times but each time have been told I will get a refund or the manager isn’t in so they can’t help me. This is clearly unacceptable and concerning.

Best burger I’ve had in many years. Great staff, excellent atmosphere. A fun, lively pub with Great beer. All in all a very memorable experience. Worth a visit.

Loved this place the food was great and the staff were amazing

Very disappointed. I came all the way from London. I looked for the best Sunday roast, according to TripAdvisor, it says this place is offering. And I found that it is not available for summer on arrival while the menu still displays on the website. The staff was apologetic though.

Honestly we called here after Lego Land The reviews true to word very tasty loaded dinner and both kids enjoyed no waste incredible welcome...would certainly recommend

Excellent Sunday roast..tasty plenty of it..the suede was do die for...the meats absolutely gorgeous in particular the roast pork and crackling ! Service and atmosphere great. Outside sitting area would highly recommend

I was disappointed that there was no food.

Great quiz night as always. A friendly local pub with a cosy Feel . Large garden for the summer evenings . Sunday lunches are always good !!

Proper pub, nice staff, good atmosphere.

The Alma graciously welcomed 4 wet walkers with 3 wet dogs and we had lots of space, great food and service and a lovely time. Recommended!

Big beer garden, fast and friendly service, dog friendly

Nice little pub, warm welcome and nice food

Good old pub, small but plenty of character. Roast dinner was a bit below standard. Pork belly was good but beef was a bit tasteless for some reason.

Friendly staff, great service, clean venue.

Excellent Sunday roast amazing food in fact was the best fast I had in a while defo I will come back . I had roast beef and you can tell the quality of the food is fresh and delicious. Good service too the alma staff...

Delicious Sunday roast, I ordered the Pork belly and It was delicious perfectly crispy on top, Delicious gravy and potatoes

I went to the Alma today with my family. However, we were all throughly disappointed. Cold food, rubbish roast potatoes, frozen Yorkshire pudding, very thin shop bought slices of beef for sandwiches?! Then the brownie was more like a cake, not fudgey brownie at all....

We are local to The Alma and incredibly biased. It is Windsor’s best pub - by a long stretch! The music , wether live on a Thursday or playing through the speakers, is always just right. The food is extraordinary. The beers are brilliant -...

I’m a pizza hunter and I’ve been many pizza places in Windsor and a friend of mine recommend me to try the pizza at the alma there is a company called man make fire who do burgers shavings pizzas and also daily specials i tired...

Our family had a lovely Sunday lunch at The Alma today. What a fantastic team who own and work there. They were so friendly, the service was excellent. I do love it when you feel so welcome when it’s your first visit. We all had...

Great place for a casual drink and a sunday roast. Top service, friendly staff and even our dog was welcome.

Great pub with Friendly atmosphere

Best place to get a casual beer and a Sunday roast. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Such a lovely pub. Louie the Landlord is one of the nicest people I've met! Lovely selection of drinks and friendly staff. Food was amazing. Highly recommend.

Nice enough venue but the manager was rather rude

Great night and atmosphere, lovely staff, delicious freshly made food, amazing Thai fish curry and good company

Really nice little pub. Good atmosphere, good live music and friendly staff.

Went here with friends and enjoyed an excellent roast. Best of all is the perfect friendly customer service. Louis is a natural front of house, with warmth and such a lovely manner. Nothing is too much trouble, all with a dash of humour.

Had a few Sunday roasts in the surrounding area but The Alma blows all out of the water by a long shot. Being Welsh we love a good Sunday roast and this is the best I’ve had in a long while - compliments to the...

Have made an account purely to review this pub as they deserve it. Visited for Halloween to watch Juice of the Barley (a favourite with our group of friends) Whilst the bar is small and it did take a while to be served, this wasn’t...

We visited on a Saturday when Man make fire were in the kitchen. We hadn't visited The Alma since the new ownership and wanted to see what it was like as we've always liked the pub and food. We ordered food and weren't given what...

Great roast on a Sunday. Took a long time for us to be able to pay, as we were given the bill and then nobody came. We went to the bar to pay which again took a surprisingly long time.

Quality & presentation of food are excellent! Fresh and delicious, the portions are right. I ordered the vegan pie with vegetables, mmmm!

Wow, first time being here and it won't be the last. The food was fresh and pipping hot (just how I like it, definitely recommend that roast (it hits different) The service is prompted too with a friendly atmosphere .

I have visited many pubs around Middlesex and Surrey in the past but this time I went outside my way to find this little gem in Windsor where the food makes a difference is such a relief the quality of freshly cooked meals you can...

New 3 course menu was excellent value for money and very tasty too. Always a pleasure to go to a friendly local pub with very helpful bar staff. Good size garden & live music on a Thursday. What more do you want! Gill

Great ambience, service and food

Visited with friends to try the new set menu which everyone thoroughly enjoyed, will definitely be back to try more dishes soon. The children loved their mini fish and chips and burger with clean plates all round! It’s always been a friendly local pub now...

Had the new set menu. Vegan Thai curry followed by warm chocolate brownie with ice cream. Absolutely delicious. Such a lovely warm friendly pub. Loved it. Wish it was my local!

Best pub in Windsor no doubt. Staff are brilliant, food is great, doggy friendly (they even have doggy beer), kids all gone by 7:30, punters give off good vibes too - never seen trouble or arguments, lovely jubbly.

Had a quick couple of pints at the Alma tonight. Super friendly staff. Very welcoming. Live music. Great atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Looked a nice friendly pub.Food looked good well it has to in case the Queen pops in.
