The Bailiwick Free House in Runnymede

Super meal. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

The food and service were both superb during our lunch at The Bailiwick today! Probably one of the best pub lunches I've ever had - we ordered off of the bar menu but our wonderful server said it would be possible to pay for singular items off of the a la carte if we wanted too. Everything was delicious! We started with the venison bon bons and the homemade cider bread with house churned sage and onion butter, both of which were INCREDIBLE! We followed that with the venison pastrami sandwich and the Bailiwick burger, and somehow managed to squeeze in their sticky toffee pudding doughnuts and their grown-up knickerbocker glory to finish! I honestly couldn't fault the food or the service one bit, it will be a lunch to remember and somewhere I recommend to everyone from this point forward - thank you!

Nice place, good beer, pleasant location

Wonderful food and customer service

Didn’t eat. Quick beer then off. Nice place.

It’s not possible to reward this pub with less than 5 stars. The food was at a superior level and the same was the service. The first great Sunday roast I have had in years of long research. The starters were a terrific surprise of flavours and originality. The desserts a great finale for an experience that we’ll replicate soon. The staff made the whole experience pleasant and impeccable very rare to find in this contexts. The only disappointment were the many cars parked outside that transformed the outside view more like a parking than a countryside landscape.

Reading the reviews, this restaurant is really like no others I have been to. While the food is well presented, salivating to look at (state of art) it is cooked to perfection and delicious; the staff have professional approach and are polite, unfortunately, this is where it ends. We have been visiting this restaurant for few years now (it has become our tradition) to celebrate 3 birthdays in a group. This October was no exception. We had an amazing time until we had a dispute with the management. What we have experienced has completely spoiled our mood and if I am honest, left a bitter aftertaste. Regretfully, that was our last visit, as I have never seen in any other place I have been to (I am a foodie and I have travelled the world) the treatment we have received here. There is no appreciation for loyal customers, lack of understanding, no room for negotiation, lack of empathy and if you have a problem, tough, it is your problem as the management team is happy to take your money (without prior notice - we have been overcharged by £230) and hide behind their policy. Be warned, if you are a group of more than 6 people, they require 48 hours notice in case of cancellation, otherwise you are going to be fully changed for the meal nobody is there to eat! We have been honest and provided the reasons for lack of attendance of 4 people with 3 hour prior notice, however they do not find (deeply disappointing as none of there could have been predicted or anticipated ) death in the family, being in A&E and sickness a valid reason for not having a meal. A real shame😳

First time dining here recently. I was very impressed. Food is a really high quality and warrants the price point. Quality of service to match, could not fault. Good choice of drinks, I will definitely be back.

10/2024 After many happy return to this place we were deeply disappointed by a very bad management call (so we were told) about charging us for guests within our group who could not make it. We gave restaurant notice 3hrs before our arrival that group is decreasing from 18 to 14. On arrival two tables (6+8) were waiting for us however we managed to have them joined. When bill appeared we got charged for 18 meals. We objected but got no collaboration on this one and ended up paying for additional 4 meals. Explanation and only argument was is that we costed them their sales as they had been expecting 18 of us (however table was promptly reduced and was set for 14 of us). Attitude in “negotiations” gutted us the most so we decided to say Fareweto this place! Be warned!! P.S. we then requested the food we paid for which they provided however not complete but that was not clear until we got home and were able to unpack. Very bad management decision! FYI reason of non attendance was 1 death, 1 A&E and one sickness(couple). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of the places that left me speechless! Everything from start is perfect: service, food quality, great menu,hygiene, DOG FRIENDLY and beautiful interior!

Delicious roast beef and venison. Perfectly cooked with friendly service in a relaxed atmosphere.

Stopped here for a drink here on our long walk home to Windsor from lunch. Nice drinks and comfy seats. Poor and slow service, staff just moaning about being understaffed. More worried about setting up for evening dinner than serving customers. Couldn't even see the positive side of a beautiful sunny autumn afternoon. Don't think we will be back.

Incredible food, amazing service!

Nice, shabby chic pub with excellent food. The starters (Venison Ragu and beetroot & whipped goats cheese tart) were lush and the quality of the roast meats (aged beef and venison) were top drawer. Really good service too. But misses out on a 5* experience as a) £45pp for a 2 course Sunday lunch! b) no parking - there is limited, metered road parking nearby can be full c) they wouldn’t serve food outside on a lovely sunny Sept day

Great resaurant with great food

Excellent service by the young guy on Friday 6th Sept. All staff were lovely. Great relaxed atmosphere 👌. Food was amazing 👏. A little more expensive than average but the quality and flavour was absolutely beautiful. Loved the complimentary bread with dip and the lush chocolate with nuts. No complaints. Compliments to the chef and staff 💯.

We went here to celebrate our silver wedding and couldn't have made a better choice. The food was, quite simply, amazing. The presentation was a treat for the eyes. I took my time to savour my venison. There was so much to explore on the plate. Grown-up Knickerbocker Glory was also a fabulous dessert choice. I must also mention our server, who was so friendly, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable of the menu. We can't wait to go back!

Book ahead for food in this little gastrpub just off Saville Gardens. Don't park outside as it's resident only parking. Best enjoy a walk in WGP and earn yourself a pint!

Great pub, food is amazing, great service! Highly recommend.

Nice country pub and restaurant on edge of Windsor Great Park. Dog friendly in front area and a few seats outside. There are vegetarian options which were tasty and well presented however this is clearly a restaurant for meat eaters. Vegetarians beware that the decor and menu is all about hunting. Deer skins are draped over the back of dining chairs. Information about where the meat is sourced is displayed in empty shot gun cartridges in the centre of each table. The menu warns meat eaters to be careful of possible shot pellets in the meat. The restaurant proudly boasts that its venison is shot in the Great Park it is next to. Venison sausages and steaks on the menu. My friends had both and enjoyed it. Shortly after ordering, the friend who had opted for the venison steak was ceremoniously presented with a wooden box containing a selection of knives to cut it with. Overall a nice evening with friends but as a vegetarian I wouldn't return because of the theme.

Great food excellent menu and delightful staff. Try the venison pops!

Beautiful place on the edge of Windsor great park.

Absolutely loved the place. Food was excellent and excellent value for money. Loved the menu selection. Great staff, very friendly and genuine. Need to get back asap.

This is a lovely pub and well worth the visit. If you have a dog an excellent choice as they are welcomed in the bar area. The staff are really friendly. This was our second visit and the food was as good as the first time we visited. They have a more traditional bar menu and at lunch time mix and match options with the a la carte. The a la carte is more interesting and what I have gone for both times. Loved the hot smoked trout, they were even able to tell me where and who caught it!

My husband and I dined here for our anniversary. I’ve visited the restaurant many times over the years as I used to live locally, but this was the first time under the current owners. First of all the good. The food was absolutely delicious. I simply cannot fault it. I especially loved the freshly baked cider bread and herb butter. Everything from the starter to our dessert (with a ‘happy anniversary’ scribed in chocolate’ was fantastic. Now the not so good. I booked around a month beforehand so the anticipation was high. When we arrived the young waiter informed us they’d just had lots of people arrive and there were no menus for us to look at. We sat and waited for over 15 minutes before we were given a drinks menu, and finally the main menu. The same waiter came to take our drinks order. My husband ordered a beer and then the waiter went off without asking me what I wanted. There was a further long delay before he returned with my husband’s beer when I asked if I could please also order a drink?! It was quite bizarre! I’ve never had this happen anywhere before! I asked if we could order our food, and he told me he was only taking drink orders and someone else would be along. We were there just over 40 minutes before the waitress - who was very nice, came and took our order. She also bought the drink I had ordered, a bottle of Prosecco. I feel customers are happy to wait for their food if given a drink and perhaps some bread quite quickly, but waiting for such a long time is pretty poor. As previously mentioned, the food was delicious, but the overall atmosphere was rather stark, and the service such that sadly we wont be returning.

Amazing little pub with incredible food. Helpful to have the bar menu offered as well for the teens in our group who couldn't quite manage the a la carte menu. Service was excellent. Would highly recommend.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Liz and the entire team for creating such a wonderful birthday celebration for my partner and a memorable wedding anniversary for my parents on 2nd June. They are all still talking about how incredible it was. The team is truly second to none. I'm a local, and every single time I visit, they go above and beyond, paying meticulous attention to detail. Thank you for making us feel so special - you will always be our go to place, especially for special occasions!

The food sadly was very mediocre. And expensive. They only have a fixed menu and one has to order 2 or 3 courses. Our server was lovely. The pub is cute though lacks some warmth to it. Shame as I wanted to love it.

Visited this pub with my daughter and grandchildren after a nice walk in Virginia Water and thought we would stop here for a drink and a selection of light nibbles Unfortunately the hot wings we ordered had a very 'vinegary' taste to the sauce that came with it. I expected the sauce to be hot, fiery and spicy but on this occasion it was not as all I could mainly taste was vinegar and no spice, not good when you have ordered 'hot wings'! We mentioned this to the waitress who's immediate response was that other people found the hot wings to be good and that they have people ordering it as a takeaway! What planet is she on? As a paying customer, I expected a better response to an issue that I brought up and not to be confronted with such a rude response. An immediate apology and an offer of a refund would have been nice and acceptable. Instead we were left waiting for approximate 15mins and my daughter had to go inside to find out what was going on. She was again told by the rude waitress that there was nothing wrong with the sauce and was still bickering with her. In the end she gave my daughter the refund. Would we go back? No, certainly not after this rude experience, there are other pubs that I would rather spend my money at.

Excellent venue, great service and exceptional food.

Quaint English pub! We went on a weekday afternoon so it was empty. The food was good except the fish and chips. The batter was too thick and stodgy. A minuscule portion of mushy peas, equivalent to the tartare sauce accompanied the fish. The chips were the saving grace and were excellent!

I can't fault the food, service or atmosphere - it's all great. I'm giving it three stars because I asked for gin & tonic, glass of white wine and two nibble dishes and total was £45! £15 for a G&T is just madness for the location, it's only £10 in my local Heston-owned 1* rated restaurant in Berkshire. A famous London gin-bar has G&T's going between £13-£16 so The Bailiwick is clearly overcharging here.

Lovely pub right next to Windsor Great Park

Great Place, super tasty food,excellent Service. Coming back

A truely wonderful resturant. Delicious food, well presented and expertly cooked. Kind, entertaining staff and a lovely location.

I’m completely confused by the negative comments. This pub / restaurant is incredible. I’m surprised it does not have a Michelin Star. All the front of house staff are friendly and well trained. The setting is lovely but most of all the food is fantastic. We always take friend’s here because it’s a guaranteed winner.

Went with work colleagues food was 10/10

Fantastic restaurant. Venison bonbons are delightful

Nice pub for a drink after walking around the park. One rather uninspiring vegetarian main food dish on offer is very poor.

Absolutely fabulous place. Been thinking of trying it for the last 18 months but never got around to it. We popped in for a quick off the cuff lunch, was so impressed returned for dinner a few days later. We are visiting again later this week for a friends 50th birthday dinner. I’m salivating just thinking about it. First place it the area that I’ve been excited about in many years. Food impeccable and service just as good. A must visit.

We are local and have been coming her since it changed hands. This is our favourite place. Sometimes we go for lunch, sometimes dinner, sometimes with our dog, sometimes without. Every time we leave satisfied and wax lyrical about the food, service and atmosphere. We are going tomorrow for a Sunday lunch and can’t wait. A great place and felt compelled to finally write a review. Well done team. Cheryl and Andy

Wonderful food and beautiful pub. The home made bread and chocolate brought in addition to the meal were fantastic. Very dog friendly. Most dogs were well behaved but a couple of them whined and barked throughout dinner which is the only reason this is four not five stars.

The Bailiwick has been recommended by a friend, I had to find a decent eatery to celebrate my 50’s birthday. And it didn’t disappoint. One of the best pub food experiences I had, and calling it pub food is reductive. Wonderful atmosphere, an attentive yet never too intrusive service and a great drink list as well. Loved every bit and I highly recommend it.

Top quality food and a lovely out of the way location. Just on the bend on Wick Road. Just right portions sizes. The venison pie was delicious. Nice service from team too!

Great service and delicious food in a cosy atmosphere. I will be returning. In the pricey side but worth it.

Really nice place. Great friendly welcoming atmosphere and dog friendly. Food was fantastic too.

Fab! Highly recommended little gem of a place

We had great evening at pub. Food amazing, I could say even outstanding Service could be better but they was busy and that’s why maybe they did not have a time for all of us. But generally we sat there for 3 and a half hours and that is good sign. We totally enjoyed evening. Big thanks for chefs and Annabelle who did great

What a delightful surprise! Having passed by on many occasions while dog walking in Great Windsor Park, we thought we'd give it a try. So glad we did! The service is of a higher standard than many expensive restaurants. The menu is creative & interesting, and the food is of a similarly high quality. Easy to see why booking is recommended.

We spent a lazy Sunday afternoon at The Bailiwick after a walk in the park. The pub has a nice cosy atmosphere, and is dog friendly (we would have bought the dog if we had known). For an unassuming looking pub from the outside, the food and service were all excellent. Sunday lunch was plentiful and all cooked well, with solid flavours. A touch pricey, but to be expected in this area, and with the quality of food. We’ll definitely be back with other friends to really top out the experience.

Book a large party of 15 for the two course Sunday lunch. The beef was delicious and options of puds even better. Being such a large table(including 6 children) the service was excellent! Bar far the best Sunday lunch in the area. Planning on going back next month! Thank you Bailiwick!!

I don’t think they’ve got it quite right here, the food is overly fancy and expensive. Service is slow and there’s zero atmosphere at the back restaurant. It was freeeezzzingggg next to the door and we were given a dirty dog blanket where there were plenty of empty tables to move to ! The food tasted good though. Small portions

Very good Sunday roast, lovely pub

I love this place! It's right next to Windsor Great Park, and is a great place to stop after a nice walk. Parking also available on the adjacent road (Wick Road). Food was fantastic, high quality and in generous portions, while service was friendly and quick. Especially liked the cider bread with garlic and sage butter, and the aged steak was one of the best we have had. The surprise handmade chocolate at the end was also a nice touch. Special shoutout to Liz for being so helpful and for the detailed explanation of each dish! Highly recommended.

Lovely place but disappointed with the service. We came for drinks only as we like to check the places before visiting for the meal. Bar was empty and despite there being plenty of cosy tables few not set for dinning the barman said we can only sit at the bar if we are only for drinks. We stayed for an hour and all bar tables remained empty the whole time. Instead of having a comfy time and staying long we decided to leave after finishing drinks and will not be coming back any time soon… i would not recommend based on the poor service!!!

Excellent food, Friendly Service, and good selection of drinks.

Came for a pre Christmas lunch, food was excellent and the host was incredibly friendly and courteous. Will definitely be visiting again!

Excellent vibe and very friendly staff. Perfect setting for a special occasion meal.

Lovely food and service. Stephen and his kitchen team are great as is the front of house team. All the staff are nice and a very accommodating kitchen which specialises in fresh game. Caters well for vegetarians as well.

Food is good but you pay a lot for it and it’s nothing remarkable. At the price point, very slow service - waited 45 mins for our main courses.

Very disappointed, the SA lady working there was so rude to us, if you don’t like dogs then don’t work anywhere where dogs are allowed

Amazing food and great service. This is a great kitchen. The game cooking is a real speciality. Vegetarians will love the mushroom spelt dish. The apple crumble was the best. Even the fresh mint tea has a unique taste.

We had burgers. The beef was poor quality, tasted of nothing and came in a soggy brioche bun. A bad burger for a whopping £20, once you’ve paid for some chips… shockingly bad value. The place itself is a nice setting so I would go there for a drink, but leave the food well alone.

Got lost in the area had no reception so decided to find somewhere with WiFi.. Came across this little gem.. Nice atmosphere.. Lil bit spenny but you expect for it to be. Lovely feel and vibe. Nice staff

Really impressive consideration throughout the experience. Brilliant local nuance, professional and loving service, and food crafted by artisans who own and run this destination with passion evidenced in all aspects of this outstanding work.

Superb food served in a relaxed environment. We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and they made it a special occasion. Highly recommended.

We always love coming here for a Sunday roast as it never disappoints so I thought it would be nice to have my partner’s surprise birthday dinner here as it’s one of his favourite places. The staff were so accommodating and helpful to ensure everything ran smoothly before and on the night. Can’t thank them enough. Everyone loved their food and left extremely full and happy! Great quality food and top notch service! The special birthday cake they helped me arrange was beyond my expectations - thank you!

Had a lovely dining experience here after a walk around Virginia Water - really friendly host, the food is top quality, we were very impressed.

Food is amazing. For a similar food experience I think you would pay much more. So it's good value for what it is. But this is not 'pub grub'. It's high class food. Wine prices are a bit too high for what you are ordering. Beer costs are same as most of the bars in that area. Coffee is really good to. Service is 100%. You could not get better. We had a table next to a window. It was a cold night and we were a bit cold in that area. That's the only improvement they could make. But this place is top-notch! Love it.

The food transcends normal labels! Three of us each had different dishes - and they were all superb! FYI: Parking by the pub is effectively permit only as there's no mobile phone signal - unless you're pretty prompt paying via the pub WiFi...

Stopped for a coffee and tea while walking Windsor Great Park. Beautiful cozy place.

In the last two years the Bailiwick has become my #TheLloydies Gastro Pub Dining Experience winner and it’s not hard to see why. This firstly has been due to the amazing food created by chef / owner Steven. Then you have top pastry chef / owner Ami with her excellent array of delicious desserts. You also receive the friendliest of service from Liz and her young team. I have to say that after our latest visit it would be very hard for anyone to stop them making it three in a row. I say this because on saturday evening we enjoyed the most amazing Game Tasting Menu. The evening started with the usual friendly welcome from Liz and the team before enjoying a drink at the bar. My wife loved the Clarified Milk Punch while I went for the new spanish Cruzcampo lager now on sale at the pub. We were then escorted to our table and once comfortable we were shown the evening’s Tasting Menu using all the amazing local produce from the Windsor Great Park. There was also the option of a wine pairing so we decided to opt for this as well. The first course was Tea and Snacks featuring a Bone Broth , Rabbit Croquettes with Bacon-naise. The broth was full of flavour and the croquettes were heaven. We enjoyed this along with Bread and homemade Sage and Onion Butter. This was followed by the Game Terrine with pickled heritage carrots and hedgerow ketchup. I have to say this was one of the best terrines I’ve eaten in a very long while. Next to come was the Venison Doughnut with “chilli con carne” , puffed rice and sour cream. This was quite simply stunning. Then things got even better with the next course of Hare Royale Tortellini with lyonnaise onions and sauce soubise that was incredible. We now moved on to the main course which was worthy of being the main dish on any menu. The Stuffed Ballotine of Partridge with truffle gratan , chanterelles , burnt young leek and sauce albufera that was just sublime. Now it was time for Ami and she started with a fabulous pre dessert of Apple Sorbet with sorrel. For dessert she offered us the chance to choose from any of the desserts on all the menus. My wife chose the ‘After Eight’ a dark chocolate delice , peppermint , cocoa nib and mint ice cream. For myself I had to choose the evenings special dessert. The Apple Crumble topped with caramel and served with ice cream and cream. This was easily the best crumble I’ve enjoyed for many years so once again thank you Ami. We finished with a coffee and petit fours to bring to an end a truly amazing dining experience. The food was absolutely incredible , the desserts were delicious , the service was very friendly from all the team. This place really is a must visit and I can’t recommend the Bailiwick Pub highly enough. Whether it’s for a quick bite after a walk round the Windsor Great Park or for lunch or dinner it’s definitely worth popping in. I would also recommend Sunday Lunch where you will enjoy one of the best roasts ever. Thank You Steven , Ami , Liz , Arran and all the team for a fantastic evening and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Fantastic high end pub and a very kind and attentive staff. The roast was a real treat

Awfully slow service, and the food took 90 minutes to arrive. Lucky it was tasty.

This restaurant has the dishonour of serving me the worst steak I ever ate in my life. It was served grey, cold, chewy and full of gristle. When the waiter saw I was struggling he brought me a knife that he presented me in a box. It made me chuckle as a chainsaw may have been better offered up. I think even a rabid dog may have passed by this piece of horse meat. I'm not a complainer in a restaurant, so I ate it as I was starving, paid and left. Don't think we'll be back reading some of the other reviews.

Wow wow wow!!! This little gem is a place everyone should go to, I had just heald our annual chef of the year competition, so wanted to treat the chefs to some great food they didn't have to cook. Each dish was created with beautiful plating and perfectly balanced meals. I had the beef croquettes, Boston steak and did try the after 8 dessert which was stunning. The freshly Baked cider bread and home made sage butter was just put of this world. The barman and resturant waiter were fantastic. We did ask to see the chef but he didn't have time or was to anxious to see us. Which is a shame as we just wanted to congratulate the kitchen team.

Great little country pub, excellent food, limited parking , but great to walk the dog in Windsor great park.

Excellent food, focus on provenance of produce. Excellent quality, can’t wait to come back again to try their game tasting menu!

Thank you for such a great Sunday roast. We have been searching for a decent roast in the area for some time and have finally found what we have been looking for. We had the beef which was great. Lovely friendly service and the advice on the wine was spot on. We’ll be back.

Fabulous food excellent service amazing value... Staff where brilliant from arrival to departure. Very knowledgable and extremely efficient. First rate service without fuss or drama. Highly recommend for a five star Gastropub experience. Fantastic chef and amazing Bread chef, butter infused was unbelievable .

Nice atmosphere and good service. The food was good but expensive. The desserts particilarly were expensive. We only had a dessert.

Great food, staff are excellent and they go out of their way to make you feel at home. Id recommend booking and parking can be a challenge in the area so get there early..

My favourite new find - locally sourced wines and food. Plus a dog vending machine!

Lovely pub for a drink after a walk in the park.

A truly wonderful dining experience, in a cosy, warming environment on the periphery of Virginia Water park. The food was impeccable, pure talent from the new chef team, who utilise local food to create beautifully designed and absolutely delicious dishes. One to watch, we will be back again for sure!

The best roast dinner ever! The service was excellent they were super welcoming and accommodating for us with a dog and a baby. Its more than just a pub! Worth visiting highly recommend.

I always enjoy a lunch full of indulgence when I come here. From the drinks, to the food, to the service, you just cannot fault it. It's high end produce, food and service in a quintessentially British, setting. This place is a must for anyone and I'm already dreaming about our return visit. If you love a sensational roast dinner, with great drinks and superior service, then this place has to be on your list!

Overall very nice, slightly over priced and not impressed you only get a small portion of gravy between two people then £4.50 charge for a refill.

Fantastic food and great service. Attentive without being too intrusive on your evening. The pig trotter ballontine and the wild deer mains were both delicious as were the whole groups meals. Made the celebration of our friends 60th all that more special. The explanation of the food was detailed and helpful to understand the various taste sensations. I am sure we will try this place again next time we stay in Windsor. Yes parking is an issue due to its location but get a taxi or Uber, it’s worth the extra to experience the food

Wow!! What a fantastic meal for my friends 60th. The food and service was excellent. Highly recommend this place. Food of a very high standard. The Pig Trotter Ballontine was delicious as was the mains of Windsor Red Deer. Thanks to the staff for making a special night even better with your attentive service.

Husband and I had a 7pm dinner reservation on 9/7/23. We arrived in plenty of time but there was absolutely no parking. I called the restaurant and spoke to the female manageress and asked where we should park as the spaces on the road had all gone and the car park is now 'members only'. She said to park on the double yellow lines. I refused to do so - double yellow lines are there for a reason! After driving around for 10 minutes it was now our reservation time. Husband pulled up near the restaurant in the middle of the road whilst I went into speak to the female manageress. I said we are having difficulty finding somewhere to park. She said that it wasn't their fault that the council had changed the dangerous parking on the road and the car park and that the chef was dealing with the parking. A) the parking on the road was never dangerous - I've lived in this area over 24 years and it has never been an issue. B) the council don't own the car park, it is Crown Estates. I explained that I was not prepared to park an expensive Porsche on double yellow lines and that we would have to cancel our reservation for dinner. The rude manageress then states that they have a strict 'No-show' policy. I said that I was not a 'no show' as I was physically here and had kept the reservation, and that I would happily come in for dinner if there was parking. On that she turned her back on me and walked off. As she did this I said that she had better not charge my husbands credit card for a no show as we had turned up. She carried on walking off and didn't respond - how rude. I left. Such a shame as I was really looking forward to my night out. The food is never good here, it is always brilliant. But I won't be returning, I don't expect rude staff. Definition of a no show - a person who has made a reservation, booking, or appointment but neither keeps nor cancels it. I had kept the appointment and had cancelled it physically in person! Suggestion for the restaurant, get the parking sorted. Maybe Crown Estates will give you some temporary passes or arrange with a local taxi firm discounted rates to your restaurant, actually put on your website that parking is probably going to be an issue and suggest getting a taxi!

The food was excellent but the service was a bit odd! The service seems to be about the process, who does what and the customer is very much a secondary consideration. If anyone from the pub reads this, the blue bits of paper need way...

Great experience, top food, locally sourced ingredients and good prices.

Amazing food and service. This restaurant is located not far from the saville garden (1 min drive?) there are paying parking (£4 for 2 hours) available just outside of the restaurant. We went on a Saturday in summer and just walked in with good seating available. Food recommendation: Poutine (amazing jalapeño with fries, never had this in elsewhere before!) and dessert please go for the banana one (called “grown-up” something) it’s soooo delicious!

I have been here a few times, and as a gastro pub this has been always good. Great wine list to match. Most recent occasion was for Sunday lunch. More expensive than the average Sunday pub lunch, then the quality speaks for itself. We started...

A person and dog friendly pub. Was a bank holiday weekend and we booked. There is a dog treat vending machine inside there, first one I have ever seen. Great place to go if you are visiting the park, which has some great walks. 👍

Nice pint and glass of wine after a pleasant walk in Virginia Water. Had a few tasty small plates, which were very well prepared and presented. Good service, maybe a little expensive but I guess location, location, location!

The food is really good but it really isn't child friendly which is a surprise given the location. Ordered a kids burger and the adult one was brought out with all trimmings kids hate - just to be told I wasn't clear on my order. Customer isn't always right I guess. In summary great food bit pretentious

Fantastic food and an always changing seasonal menu! Staff are always helpful.Our favourite restaurant good wines too and don’t worry you can walk it all off …

What was meant to be a quick lunch stop during a walk in Windsor Great Park turned out to be a very memorable culinary experience. The food was amazing. I highly recommend the torched mackerel. The service was impeccable. The outdoor seating in the sun made it all perfect.
