The Beehive Restaurant & Pub in Windsor and Maidenhead

Wonderful Sunday lunch. Fine food with a slight Indian twist on some dishes. Great service from our waiter, Tom.

A quiet lunch with friends to try out the food of this restaurant which has changed hands since we were last there. The set lunch fish offering was top rate and made the visit for me.

A beautiful cosy little place. Gorgeous and very well decorated. well worth the 5* rating. And food was good. Helpful and friendly staff. Overall impressed.

Exceptionally tasty food, beautifully presented. A feast of flavour. Wonderful, helpful staff.

Absolutely fantastic food and service all round. Very impressed

Lovely experience at Milaanj! Starter: chicken wings Main: fish & chips Dessert: chocolate brownie Had a very enjoyable evening with delicious food, excellent service and a warm atmosphere. Would come again!

The food is amazing, menu changes to deliver next the experience. This is a growing business that I’ve been to in month four and five. Really enjoy the curated Indian experience, the service is made very personal with the team working hard to deliver.

We went to Milaanj for lunch when it first opened and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were therefore pleased to be notified when they were producing a Tasting Menu for Autumn. Although it was the next evening we went and were so pleased we did. The food is exceptional. We spent the evening trying to break down the flavours. I do so hope they find time to offer a cooking course from time to time. We were stuffed by the end but we persevered; after all who in their right mind would pass up on apple and blackberry crumble. What really makes this place though are the people. The bonhomie and infectious enthusiasm of the main man (I must get his name), the delightful efficiency of the young ladies always happy and eager to look after you; and the Maestro Ruchi discreetly conducting. A real pleasure to talk to, professional and somehow in the background but everywhere at the same time. It’s a drive for us but worth it. The hardest part is going to be choosing something different when you know you’re already looking to something you had before. Thank you for a super feast.

The hard working manager falls over backwards to keep customers happy Sunday lunch a screaming child spoilt it Roast potatoes cooked in rapeseed oil. WHAT ! Pudding was good They have replaced the cutlery from previous owner but cheap and nasty

What a brilliant experience ! Delicious food with an exciting mix of British & Indian flavours. We were delighted to see good vegan options too which is a massive positive change. The fish was delicious, perfectly cooked and the cauliflower steak was excellent. Great range of beers and cocktails too. The service was excellent, just the right mix of professional and friendly. Cannot wait to try the Sunday roast. Totally recommended.

Delicious food and great service May be an idea to have a separate area for families with young children

First visit to the Beehive as recommended by a local friend. Food was excellent, incredible flavours and beautifully presented. Extremely attentive and warm service. We'll be back soon.

Wonderful lunch Syrian delivered superb service A credit to the restaurant

Wonderful food, delightful flavours, a real gem of a restaurant tucked away in darkest Berkshire!

An amazing lunchtime menu brilliantly served up , exceptional service , covers individually broken down

An amazing evening at the Milaanj with some fusion of flavours at display expertly crafted by Ruchi and her team. The service right from the word go was impeccable and Phoenix took care of us very well. We had the Potato Plava and lamb kebabs for starters. Both the dishes were authentic and flavoursome. Jamun cocktail and the negroni were very good accompaniments. I had the marinated lamp rump and my wife had the courgette paneer flower and both dishes were very tasty. We polished off with a saffron soufflé Rasmalai with a home made mango ice cream ( this is a must try !!) and came home Happy with our tummies full and happy. Thank you Team Milaanj for an amazing dinner !

Big mistakes made here. First impressions bad. Removing the traditional pub sign - not on really. Real ale was off. Erecting an umbrella on the patio required a member of staff to do it. Hedge on left of garden has grown to obscure the view. Painting the patio furniture is a mistake. Good luck my friend you will need it. Also who are going to pay £20 a Head for lunch (excluding drinks) ?

Our experience this evening at Milaanj was amazing. I tried potato plava starter.,and courgette flower paneer with jeera rice. The paneer in courgette tasted awesome. We tried the saffron rasamalai souffle paired with mango ice cream. All dishes were a visual and culinary treat. Excellent service by Phoenix. We will come back again.

Recently visited Milaanj for Sunday lunch, and it was an unforgettable experience. The highlight of the meal was the fish wrapped in fig leaf – absolutely exquisite and bursting with flavour. The dish was a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, making it stand out as one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to make us feel welcome and well taken care of. The warm and inviting atmosphere added to the overall experience, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing meal. I can't wait to return with friends to share this gem of a place. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and delicious dining experience!

Excellent food, and a great mix of authentic Indian and contemporary English dishes. Highly enjoyable. Plus they have a lovely menu for children.

Bit quiet but great food and amazing service. Come and make it busy

Tasty menu will a delicious Indian twist. Food well presented. Quiet, for a Thursday. Good value. Thanks!

Milaanj continues to impress with its diverse and flavorful offerings. The lamb kebab was succulent and well-seasoned, while the chicken tandoori exhibited perfect tenderness with a smoky depth. However, the standout dish was undoubtedly the potato chat - an extraordinary blend of textures and spices that elevates this often overlooked appetizer to new heights. The meal concluded on a sweet note with the chocolate marquis, a rich and decadent dessert that balanced the savory courses perfectly. Milaanj’s consistency across multiple visits speaks to its quality and attention to detail. The restaurant successfully marries traditional flavors with modern execution, making it a worthy destination for those seeking a memorable dining experience.

Recently, I visited "Milaanj at Beehive" with my family (nine of us) and we were impressed by the new look and menu with such unique food. It was the best we could ask for. The new drink menu also added to the experience like never before. The food, which was the most important thing for me, was outstanding. We had many starters and all of them were delicious, and the mains were excellent too. I had a Jamun Gin drink, which I had never seen anywhere else, and it was amazing. Finally we tried all desserts to share and once again there all fantastic. It was a great experience for us, and a wonderful dinner for my son's birthday. I would highly recommend the place!!

Came here on fathers day with the family and we were all disappointed. Servers themselves were nice enough although we didn’t have one consistent waiter, which is fine and not something to expect from a place like this. Service itself was slow, we assumed there was no bread as it took a good while to come, we were given half a bun each which is okay but on the way out I saw another group of 4 get one bun split between all of them which comes across as inconsistent and unprepared. I had the fish and chips, chips were soft and didn’t come with vinegar, the texture of the fish was okay but it tasted soapy, hints of a clean kitchen counter you could say. It came with a curry sauce which tasted more like a tomato soup than anything, which is surprising for a place with lots of south asian influence in the dishes. Tartar sauce and mushy peas were okay but didn’t taste very fresh. My sister ordered a roast and shared some of it, the potatoes were lacking in crunch and yorkshire pudding was thin and chewy. Also tasted some of the lamb which my parents ordered which wasn’t too bad to be fair. Atmosphere wasn’t great, the restaurant doesn’t feel special in any way from the tacky wallpaper to the waiters black shirt uniforms. We had no inclination to stay for dessert. I had heard this pub was very good before and had some passion about it but all the chefs left when management changed hands and I can see why. Won’t be coming back for a while but if i do i’d hope to be pleasantly surprised in which case i’ll delete this review but until then a lot needs to change.

Enjoyed the food, one starter, two mains one desert and a pot of tea and glass of wine £85:00 oh and one bread roll between the two of us. Was glad to get home cooked myself egg, venison steak and half an avocado. Fruit salad and nuts to follow. I was starving.👍🥰

Delicious food…superb presentation…very good service. We will certainly come again.

Food was amazing, would definitelygo again and definitelyrecommend, the service was extremely good, the only reason I didn't give 5 stars for service was the condescending older waiter, who spoke to me like I was an idiot when asking how many shots of coffee they put in their cappuccino. This required a simple answer of 1 or 2, not a long obnoxious condescending lecture at the end of my meal. Which did somewhat spoil the lovrly experience.

Very enjoyable evening, a few glitches whilst new ways of working settle in. Could not fault the service, very responsive and just the way a professional restaurant should be. Daughter had a great birthday, thank you.

What a treat! Great service, fantastic food, fair prices, good atmosphere, lovely location. Came here on a Sunday lunchtime after booking some months earlier and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We had the honey spiced lamb and fish & chips, which were both delicious. The finishing touches made it for me, i.e., the dips that came with the fish and the butter for the bread 👌🏻 wow. Hope to return one day.

Just a wonderful lunch! Enjoyed watching cricket in the field opposite whilst having lunch in the sunshine. Food was fabulous and the atmosphere was so welcoming and peaceful. Dog friendly

Had an excellent lunch at this lovely country pub. £20 set menu was excellent value

We took a wrong turning and dropped into The Beehive on the off chance, so glad we did. The staff were so lovely and friendly and the food was fabulous. So much so that we are going to do a 3 hr round trip from Portsmouth to go back there.

Had the a la carte menu as the tasting wasn’t available. The food was delicious, good portions. Would recommend the rabbit lasagne. The staff were friendly and checked in periodically. The building was warm and cosy and had a good atmosphere once it got a bit busier. Pictured is the snack and bread, wild rabbit lasagne, Braised Oxtail Pie and Molasses toffee tart.

A true gastronomical experience, loved the atmosphere and the food was top notch. The staff is really friendly and welcoming. Its a tad too expensive however worth every penny spent.

A firm favourite which still delivers after new ownership. Looking forward to the upcoming events

Disappointingly small portion of fish and chips. Delicious roast beef Sunday lunch.

A supreme dining experience. Situated in a beautiful surroundings. Great menu overall with lots of vegetarian options as well. Even more so, the host treated us with a starter on the house. We ordered fish and chips, it was AMAZING, the best we've had so far! Do try Samosa (new addition to the menu) Going back again very soon. They've also introduced breakfast on Saturdays only. Do try it!

Excellent ambiance, delicious food and staff were very friendly, warm and welcoming. Lamb was exquisite, samosas were lip smacking good, smoked salmon and the cod dishes were fantastic. Would definitely return and recommend this lovely, cosy gem of a place.

A fabulous eatery with homemade start to finish. Excellently executed food with equally good service. Fabulous Domluca Coffee too. Wonderful genuine hospitality and we will definitely return. Thankyou for looking after us. Kerry and Paul

Lovely pub with great food, if a little pricey!

The food was fabulous, service extreamly attentive. The chicken liver and duck parpaif was so good, and highly recommend the oxtail pie!

Delicious meal. We both had starters and a main, and we're surprised to be served with complentary snacks to try which we're delicious too. Recommend for a nice meal out.

Sunday lunch tasted delicious although very salty, the meat arrived 5 minutes before the vegetables so the plate got cold quite quickly the vegetables arrived warm but not hot so we asked for extra gravy which was hot but so so salty. The roast potatoes were the only things that were hot but covered in salt. It all tasted delicious but it wasn’t hot and too salty so completely ruined the meal for me. The wine was overpriced (£50 for a bottle of Marlborough Sauvignon) so we gave that a miss. Nice place, but quite cold inside and service was slow - sorry to say we won’t be back.

Great treat for my wife's birthday.

A great place for dinner, one Michelin star very well deserved. Truly worth while place to visit.

One of the nicest suprises I've had. Beautiful setting wonderful food and the blackberry and Apple soufflé was sublime.

Enjoyed the special chefs evening of the Lock and the Tyne visiting the Beehive. A great mix of dishes from their menu with the brilliant Beehive staff managing the restaurant and wine pairings. Highly recommend future events.

Great meal tonight at the Beehive. The place has a really nice atmosphere, service was 1st rate and food was delicious.

Cozy and elegant country pub with great food. Sadly a lot of dishes sold out on the menu at 7.30 pm on a Saturday

Very friendly and couldn't have been more welcoming. The T bone steak was AMAZING!

Awesome setting, food & atmosphere 🍻🍽😍

Delicious food and very good service! We thoroughly enjoyed our light lunch in this excellent country pub; the food was beautifully cooked and presented, the service from all the staff was first class and the table settings were immaculate. Thoroughly recommended!

I'd love to rate higher, but it just wasn't worth it. Nice location and design ok (but not a clue why it's called Beehive as NOTHING relates to it Service was really just ordinary, no attempt at all to inject any personality or character, the service team was young and probably new which is ok, but come on, anyone can be trained And if SO MANY things are not available, hey, tell guests when they arrive, not after they have decided, and this was at least 4 to 5 items Food was 'ok' but certainly nothing better than anywhere else The manager...well, didn't really think there was one as NO personality and NO responsiveness to requests..obviously just a job, that's it This is the sort of place you go to, first impression..nice, further impressions.. oh boy, they have no clue, don't care and just don't respond, last impression...wouldn't go back again, no reason at all, many other options Suggestion..New manager? A real one..train staff, it isn't that hard, inject some care and passion and make the food fab, not just OK Bit sad really, and doesn't need to be

Superb experience at Beehive yesterday sitting outside at sunset time. Ended up having two main portions as the flavours were amazing. Dessert was nice to, really enjoyed it. Staff amazing! Thank you. Will def come again.

Popped in for a glass of Chardonnay and watch the cricket, best Chardonnay I ever had , seriously, intending to eat there soon very impressed

Very nice location, good food and exemplary service. Will return.

Really nice meal. It's a little on the pricier side, but it's definitely worth a visit. Nice place with attentive friendly staff. Was a little quiet when we visited but a decent atmosphere nether the less.

Had some delightful snacks and drinks whilst watching the cricket. Most of the snacks were generously portioned. The staff were all very nice and friendly.

Just had the Summer Tasting menu, beautiful range and pairing of flavours , each course was a delight, another fantastic meal at The Beehive.

Fantastic. Everything was great with an additional anniversary treat. Book your table soon!

Cannot fault this place or the staff here. I've only been twice recently, 1st time no food, 2nd time for Sunday lunch. Both times were amazing and staff were so friendly and accommodating. It has such a relaxing atmosphere you could just stay for hours which i did on both days. Dog friendly too which is nice to see. Overall I'd recommend this place if you're looking for nice place to relax, eat & socialise.

Never seen Cobra lager in a pub for sale? Other than an Indian restaurant or takeaway? Very nice pub! Nice owners!👍🍺

Lovely two course lunch outside in the garden. Great service and the food was excellent

Stopped for a cheeky half on our travels. Didn't get a chance to sit down for a meal, but the atmosphere of this little place was fantastic. Would love to stop for a meal next time.

Superb food in lovely surroundings. One of our favourite places for a celebration.

Nice and quiet on a weekday lunch. Lovely food and friendly waitress.

Man, we were so excited to eat here as it came highly recommended from a trusted source. Sadly, our experience was at best a 2 out of 5. Our meal started on a promising note. The bread was fresh, warm and utterly delicious. The cheesy pickley canapé served alongside it was like a blast of flavor in our mouths, setting a rather high bar for our Sunday lunch. We were off to a promising start. The starter course followed suit. The medley of anchovies, pickled red onions, and sourdough worked wonders, tantalizing our taste buds with the unique combination of flavors. Unfortunately, from there on, things went south. We had ordered the beef pie and the beef roast for our main courses, and they both were profoundly disappointing. Let's start with the roast, the Yorkshire puddings accompanying the roast were soft and had a puddle of oil in the middle. The cauliflower cheese was cold, the roast potatoes were rubbery and waxy - exactly not what you want from your Sunday roast. The only thing that was cooked well was the beef. The pie, in particular, was shockingly inedible. An overwhelming salinity took over every bite, completely overwhelming the rest of the ingredients and reducing what could have been a hearty dish to a salt mine. It was a hard pass. Interestingly, we also saw a family next to us send back their pie. The chips were a pleasant deviation from this downward spiral, crispy and well-seasoned, they were an unexpected star. Then there was the matter of our drinks. We had ordered the Elderflower Spritz, yet despite reminding the staff multiple times, our drinks were never served. When we brought this to the attention of our waitress, she was unapologetic, offering the excuse of the restaurant being busy. In conclusion, a meal that had such a promising start was completely overshadowed by poor main courses and lackluster service. For an establishment that came highly recommended, we were left deeply disappointed. We expected much better, and the restaurant didn't deliver. From our experience, I'd think twice before suggesting this place to anyone else.

We had the menu of the day £20 for 2 courses is pretty good value. The starter was pasta not al dente but tasty. The main pork with too much fat for me and no carbs at all - disappointing. Amuse bouche and choccies with coffee nice touches.

Lovely restaurant for fine dining. More on the pricey side of things, but well worth a visit for a special meal, good wine with a cosy, clasy atmospher to match.

Quaint pub, we stopped for a drink here and the staff were very friendly

I’ve had a business lunch at the Beehive and I must say that the food was absolutely brilliant- from my rabbit lasagne, fillet steak to the baked Alaska it was all of very high quality The service whilst it was good it was not perfect, it didn’t feel warm and attentive, which is the only reason I didn’t go with 5 stars I will certainly be back in the future

Great place with very nice and friendly staff. Food was excellent.

You will not be disappointed. The food is predictably awesome, the service quick, discreet, and it has a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. You can be as formal or informal as you like here.

Wonderful restaurant , we eat out a lot and the beehive is in the top three

Beautiful baby friendly pub over looking cricket grounds. I enjoyed Welsh rarebit followed by Cornish cod, King prawn spring roll, crispy kale and satay sauce. A fabulous wine list and interesting menu...hope to visit again and try the rabbit lasagne

What a lovely place to go for a meal. The staff were so helpful, polite and friendly. They made it a real occasion for my sons birthday 🎂 no rush,no fuss,just a really relaxing lunch with me and my family. Beautiful food and a birthday 'plate' produced especially for my son ❤️ we will definitely return to this light,bright,spotlessly clean establishment.

Delicious Sunday lunch at The Beehive. The perfect combination of great tasting food (scotch egg and roast beef in particular) and excellent service, the team were welcoming and attentive but in a relaxed and informal manner. Additional points from us for welcoming dogs.

Stopped here on a cycle for a coffee. Friendly staff and bathrooms were clean. More of a restaurant than a pub so a bit pricey

Disappointing Sunday lunch . Potatoes were rock hard and coffee un drinkable. Waitress just said sorry you’re disappointed!

A lovely local for us. Not the cheapest but for the odd special occasion then certainly top five in the area.

Delicious and articulately prepared dishes with quality fresh, seasonal ingredients, great drinks and wines. A superb evening.

Exceptional meal!! The pork tenderloin was amazing and the Baked Alaska was to DIE for!!!

Burns night. Food was not that great for the high price charged. Gravy was so salty that you couldn't taste the flavours of the haggis and beeps. One person returned their dinner to get another without gravy.

Had a family lunch here today. Alex was fantastic and made us feel very special.

Ashamed in that I live three miles from the Beehive but haven't visited for ages - until today. Two course lunch for £20 plus service charge. Food was excellent, setting very pleasant and the staff/service all that one could expect.

Three stars seems like a harsh score, but I've dropped one for food and another for value. Food wise I felt that both dishes I had clobbered the fish with overpowering flavours; soy-sauce based dressing on the tuna tartare and the pickled cabbage/satay sauce with the cod. I finished both dishes and the other diners all thought their food was great, so maybe I just didn't choose that well. Canapés and bread were also excellent, as was the orange soufflé with mince pie ice cream Also, £85 each seemed steep, but there were enough good things to warrant trying the Beehive again

Lovely place for a lunch break. Great food and impeccable service. Not cheap but very nice.

Lovely game and wild food set menu. Food really well cooked and a good atmosphere

One of the best meals I have ever eaten. The staff at the pub were so friendly, accommodating and professional. I would eat there every single day if I could. Lovely spotless interior with a cosy vibe. Thank you so much to the team at the Beehive for a sensational meal.

We came to eat knowing it’s going to be very pricey and wanted to have a posh and nice night out. We were welcome nicely and got presented the menu. We selected the wine and our starters and mains. For starter I had the tuna tartare and my other half had the duck and liver pate. My tuna tartare was interesting but was lack of salt and a bit tasteless. The pate was very nice. My other half enjoyed it. For main I had the Haunch of Wild Venison and my other half had the Roast Pork Tenderloin. My main came warm and I was expecting it to be hot. I asked the waiter and he explained me that as the wild venison is supposed to be red it’s not being cooked in hot temperature and that is how it should be cooked. Maybe it’s my lack of understanding but it put me off of this dish. My other half enjoyed the pork. For desert we had the chocolate fundo which was fine. I don’t know how to summarise this evening as personally I was disappointed but my other half wasn’t.

Worth every penny, delicious gastronomy, but a lot of pennies

Great food, good cocktails but rubbish service. We could never get hold of anyone to order anything even though we arrived early and it wasn’t busy at all. Some of the staff are trying hard (our server was nice) but are absolutely let down by lack of front-of-house leadership. The job of the manager is not to stand around gossiping with tables about how they’ve fired someone, it didn’t help the atmosphere much... It’s not a cheap place (easily £200 for a couple, and more than that for us on our visit) but although the food is probably worth it, the experience is not! (Visit: Saturday 1st October 2022)

Excellent service. accommodated our large group faultlessly

Lovely food and nice not to be rushed. Great evening. Thank you !

Everything was tasty, high quality and well-crafted. Staff are very attentive and the wine list is great. Not the cheapest but its is well worth the price for the quality and the sourcing. Would recommend for things like big dates, birthday meals and more relaxed dining.

Very expensive and nothing special food wise

Lovely place to chill out and have a Czech Pils!

A lovely meal for a birthday celebration. Unpretentious fine dining. Quite expensive

What A Beautiful Venue. Efficient, Polite Staff & Excellent Food. My 1st visit with a Regular Customer, but I'll now become A Regular Customer. Thank You.
