The Belgian Arms in Windsor and Maidenhead

This was a spontaneous late lunch with a friend and wow was it a super pleasant experience! The staff were fantastic and really professional and gave us a warm welcome. The chef is clearly highly skilled as the lunch was one of my best pub experiences in the area! Thank you very much and I’ll be back very soon.

A wonderful pub serving top notch pub food. The steak was amazing (they obviously have a proper chef in the kitchen!) beautiful atmosphere, lovely engaging staff, beautiful setting in a lovely Berkshire village. Bravo.

Pleasant country pub with very tasty food & friendly service .

An excellent light lunch, good beer and cider... not cheap, but well worth it ... need to think about Christmas!

This is my go to for a Sunday roast. The quality of the food is outstanding and the staff are always really friendly and welcoming. I just can’t fault it. Cauliflower cheese to to die for!

The best Sunday roast I've had in a really long time. Everything was delicious, especially the cauliflower cheese. Kids fish and chips were generous portions. We didn't need pudding but glad we went for it, the sticky toffee pud was perfect. Staff were all over it on a busy Sunday and really kind to our very chatty toddlers.

Superb Sunday Lunch! Hadn't booked so were really lucky to get a table. From the moment we arrived, the lovely warm and friendly atmosphere hit us - from the attentive and courteous waiting staff, to the Manager - it was faultless. We both went for the Slow cooked Pork Sunday Roast with all the trimmings/extras - melt in the mouth, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented - incredibly generous portions. Puddings were equally delicious. We were first time visitors to The Belgian Arms - but have every intention of making this a regular Sunday treat. Just fantastic.

Great cosy pub restaurant. Has a local feel. Food was superb and service brilliant. Really attentive but not intrusive.

Amazing, Sunday lunchtime called in for drinks, place was heaving, but served immediately at the bar. Well done to all concerned. Highly recommend happy days!

We had booked this pub for a birthday lunch for our son. Unfortunately, due to roadworks, we were running 10 minutes late. We called the venue to let them know that we would be a little late and we were told that the table would be needed 1 hour and 3/4 after the time of our original booking. We do not recall ever being allocated a table for less than 2 hours but we said that it would be fine if the service was not too slow. Unfortunately, the service was slow, very slow. When desert menus were finally brought to our table, our waitress made us feel like it would be inconvenient if we ordered deserts so we felt that we had no choice but to cut our meal short. Please note that the reason we did not finish our mains earlier was the slow service, not our lateness. The scoth eggs were delicious but, sadly, after this experience, we will not be coming back.

Visited with a friend on September 30th. for a beer and a ‘catch up’. Excellent beer and a very attractive pub but disappointed not to see a lunchtime sandwich menu. Decided to have the two course meal for the set price of £25. The soup was superb but the fish and chips very disappointing. Either the batter or fish undercooked but both of us were queezy and unwell in the evening. To add insult to injury I checked the bill later and found that we had been charged the full menu price for each course rather than the 2 for £25. Our first visit……and perhaps our last!

Can't really fault it. Tiny bit pricey but I guess eating out is generally pricey today. Very good food, beautifully cooked, good service. I'll definitely be back when I'm feeling a bit flush 😀

I popped in for a Sunday roast. The scotch egg to start was flavour packed with a runny yolk and the beer was good. I had the roast beef with all the trimmings and it was really tender and from the local farm. Service was excellent and it’s wheel chair friendly.

This is our family go to place for Sunday lunch. I have a small appetite so I have a children’s roast which is a perfect size for me. A bit pricey but worth it. Nice service too.

We came here for the first time for my partner’s birthday and had an absolutely amazing dinner. Everything was superb, the cheese soufflé was the standout item amongst a meal of delicious dishes. The cocktails and wine selection were great too. The pub itself is cosy, beautifully decorated and the service was exceptional. The manager was very welcoming and clearly passionate about food! Hands down the best gastropub within a significant radius and we are already planning a return visit!

Charming spot with garden overlooking a beautiful village pond and common..

Exceptional food and service. Must have caught the Friday evening pub rush as quite busy

Food was excellent. Service was spot on. The only thing was when coming to pay the bill. There was 5 of us, lunch time, 4 of us had our lunch from the set the lunch time menu, 2 for £25, 3 for 30, 3 had the 2 for £25 1 had the 3 for 30 the bill did not reflect this and wanted to over charge us on the 3 for £30 by over £6.00. The manager had to take over on trying to sort this out as she didn't really believe us, personally we believe that their system couldn't work it out. She had to just give us a managers discount in the end as she couldn't work it out.

Great gastropub, patron of many years Service can be hit and miss on occasion, but always smiling

Just had a lovely Sunday Roast at the Belgian Arms. We’ve been going here since we moved to Maidenhead seven years ago, and we’ve never had a bad meal. Staff are great. Friendly, welcoming and know their stuff. Locally it’s one of the top places we’ve been to, and priced well for what you get.

Really nice food and excellent service. Situated in a very nice location. Book in advance though, it's very popular.

Excellent Sunday lunch with 32 others. Mushroom starter excellent never had better & I’ve been a chef for 60 years.

On a sunny Friday afternoon, I had the pleasure of stopping by The Belgian Arms for a lunchtime meeting. Nestled by a charming village green, this historic pub offers a delightful garden terrace, perfect for enjoying a meal in the warmth of the sun. Despite a brief delay in service due to a health and safety inspection—where were reliably informed the kitchen earned a full five-star rating—we were more than satisfied with our experience. We began with the onion and cider soup, a dish that immediately impressed. Rich, flavorful, and accompanied by warm cob bread, it set the tone for a memorable meal. My companion, who required a gluten-free option, was equally pleased with the alternative bread provided—attentive service that didn’t go unnoticed. For the main course, I opted for the duck leg salad, which was nothing short of amazing. The meat was perfectly tender, falling off the bone, and the salad itself was a stunning accompaniment, bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. It’s a dish I’ll definitely return for and one I highly recommend to anyone visiting. My companion chose the chicken dish, which was not only very well presented but also thoroughly enjoyed—there wasn’t a morsel left on the plate by the end. In summary, The Belgian Arms is a gem. With its historic charm, lovely garden, and attentive staff, it offers a dining experience that’s hard to beat. The food is excellent, the wines selection varied, and the ambiance perfect for a relaxed, yet refined meal. It’s no wonder this spot earns a full five out of five stars from me. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, it’s a must-visit off the beaten track.

We sat outside, under sunshade umbrellas. The grass bit overlooks a small but beautiful pond with ducklings swimming around. Speedy service and helpful hosts.

I had three courses here. Service was brilliant and the food was great. Three courses for £30. I don’t live local but wish I did. Outstanding!

Summers evening outdoors, can't be beaten

What a hidden gem. I have been before but got recommended to go for the fish and chips. Service was amazing even whilst they were fairly busy on a hot day with the garden full. Service was a genuine 12/10 and food 10/10. Try it out and be your own judge.

Lunch with friends - we are local so have a number of nice pubs / restaurants in Bray or Holyport to choose from . We have used the Belgian Arms on and off for 30 years and seen many changes . The current owners provide a welcoming atmosphere with well cooked and reasonably priced menus . Plenty of seats inside and is dog friendly in one are or in the garden

We chose this as the venue for our wedding reception and didn't regret it. A fantastic restaurant, with top notch food and staff. They made it a wonderful day, and I can't wait to come back for another special occasion.

A pub which does it all. Beautiful indoor decor with a wide range of tasty beers and snacks alongside a capacious and gorgeous outside veranda which benefits from evening sun. Well worth a trip and a pint if you're ever in the area and tempted. Service is very good as well!

Lovely country pub, good variety of real ales, obliging staff, ample parking and seating, the Sunday roast was one of the best.

We usually go for the Sunday roast bur we had our grandson to stay and he wanted to go again as it’s his favourite place in the Maidenhead area. He was not disappointed as he said his fish and chips from the children’s menu was the best he had ever had. My choice was not so good but it was hard to choose because of an allergy I have. Service was slow to start but they were quite busy. It took sometime to bring our drinks which we had not experienced before. Still one of our favourite places in the area.

Great food and enjoyable evening .Ill def be recommending to friends . Id say its best restaurant all round i’ve been to in the area for a long time ..sticky toffee pud was amazing !

Good food , good service , nice atmosphere,

What a gem! Lovely pub/restaurant with great menu with plenty of choice. Always looking for good places to meet a friend for lunch without having to travel too far & this suited both of us. Opted for 2 starters & the photo is of the cheese souffle, which was out of this world! Would definitely recommend souffle & venue!

First time there and will certainly be back.

Lovely country pub nestled into the countryside. A little bit pokey in the side but lots of l outside seating, from memory the food was very good although it could have done with a little more seasoning. Really good selection of drinks and specifically gins. Well worth a visit!

I have been to the Belgian Arms many times over the years and without fail the food, service, ambience has been consistently outstanding . My partner & I had lunch in the gorgeous patio on Sunday 2nd August after having moved away and now returned and everything is still fantastic !! I would highly recommend this pub /restaurant & will be booking again soon . Well Done to all at the Belgian Arms !!

A lovely pub with an amazing view over the pond. Food to die for, just fantastic.

Beautiful setting! Lovely ambience! Absolutely loved it! 🍻

Top pub. Staff with personality. There's something on the menu for everyone, from seasonal dishes to pub classics, and a great wine list. I had a delicious confit duck salad.

I like this place. A touch pricey but with decent food and great service. Worth paying the extra for.

Good beer and staff food was excellent pub food

Tucked away in Holyport lies The Belgian Arms. This hidden gem of a restaurant offers an extraordinary dining experience that both tantalizes the taste buds and soothes the soul. From the moment you step inside, you’re enveloped in a lovely relaxing atmosphere that sets the stage for a memorable meal. The service is second to none, with staff members like Luke who go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels special. His attention to detail and warm hospitality are simply amazing. The menu is a parade of perfection, but the stars of the show are undoubtedly the scotch egg, the wellington, and the chocolate fondant. Each dish is crafted with the utmost care and presented with a flair that speaks to the incredible talent of Dan, the chef. His creations showcase a masterful blend of flavours and textures. The Belgian Arms is simply a must-visit for anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience. The combination of delicious food, a serene ambiance, and top-tier service makes it a place you’ll want to return to time and time again.

Beautiful day, beautiful stuffed chicken breast and a beautiful setting by the river. Great service and a cute head chef.

Lovely locals pub in Holyport. Been a few times now, food is excellent and a nice range of ales and bar snacks. Great service as well.

I googled gastropubs in the area and this one came up as the number one! And my goodness they have not disappointed us! It’s worth the drive in from London. Wonderful food (the cauliflower cheese is next level!) , fantastic service and reasonably priced. Will definitely be coming back!

A beautiful cosy pub, great service, and the food was amazing. You have to have a scotch egg, you've not lived until you try it!

One of the best wellingtons ive had, the chicken was also amazing, the presentation and taste are on point. Definitely recommend coming here, the garden is amazing in the summer and the atmosphere is very authentic, a gem in Holyport village!

very good cooking, at a great price for the quality. fine dining and pub classics in a traditional pub atmosphere.

Couldn't fault any of the food or service! Every single bite I had was so good, the food had so much flavour, you can tell the food is fresh and cooked to order. We rated it as some of the best food we've tried. I would happily return to try other things on the menu. Thank you for your hospitality and I look forward to returning.

Always welcoming and accommodating, great food. If your looking for a good pub lunch in a nice setting, I would recommend a visit.

What a wonderful find. My son and I popped in for lunch and we were very impressed. Superb service from all the staff. We both ordered Beef and Guiness pie which was sublime - every chunk of meat was tender and tasty - and the potato gratin we ordered as a side was wonderful. Outstanding food, service and ambience. Now firmly on our shortlist of best pubs for lunch - anywhere.

Thoroughly enjoyed our time here on Mother's day. Food was excellent through all courses. Very friendly, polite and professional service. Will go again. Edit: Revisited today for Mum's birthday. Not disappointed at all. Good food, friendly, polite, discreet service. Will come again.

Lovely friendly pub with open fire and good gin selection.

The restaurant was great me and my family loved the fish and chips. The Waiter was excellent, I really recommend this restaurant.

Too noisy but that's not the fault of the establishment.

I had heard good things. But the night 5 of us went there to eat. 3 of us had fish and chips which was absolutely awful. Chips were like bricks and looked more like roast potatoes in size and running in fat that you could taste it all 3 meals were not eaten. Friends Steak was not done how she asked and had to be sent back. Then we waited 45 mins for deserts 3 of us again had the crumble couldnt eat it apple was hard and crumble was like cement no juice in crumble at all. 4 had starters scotch egg which they did enjoy. The mangeress was lovely couldnt apologise enough.

Smoked salmon, scotch eggs, fish and chips, burgers between us and all top notch. Very very very friendly service both behind the bar and at the table. Lovely location and look forward to visiting again.

We were there on Burns night so it may have been busier than a normal Thursday. The staff and food were great. It's probably more a restaurant than a pub these days and the food was more expensive than our usual Thursday place although it was judged better too. They were also happy for us to bring our own birthday cake. There's a big garden by the pond for the summer when it arrives

Lovely lunch, with very good service and friendly staff.

Super pub. Amazing food. Loved the steak and fish and chips. Very friendly attentive service. Great location. Warm ambiance. Such a lovely experience.

Excellent food, friendly service and cozy atmosphere. A great stopover off the M4

Beautiful food and service in a classic comfy British pub

It was an okay steak but for £25 with some just some okay chips and a strong green garlic paste on top. Not really worth it. In my view.

Lovely meal at The Belgian Arms. I haven't been here for about a year and the quality of the menu has definitely been improved in. We will definitely be back .... soon!

Lovely Christmas lunch with a great team looking after us.

Work Xmas meal, great food and drink with very good service thanks folks

Went for Xmas lunch and was impressed; vibrant and delicious food combined with friendly and efficient service made for a very pleasant 2 hours. Will return for sure. Well done Belgian Arms!

Came here for dinner with a business colleague and just have to say that Rebecca is fantastic. A real treat these days to be treated like an actual guest! Great job and look forward to going back!

Had a lovely lunch here today. A very nice pub with lovely Brakspear beers on tap and an exceptional menu. A log fire in the bar area kept things nice and warm. Furnishings were comfortable and there was plenty of space. Everything was prepared well and tasted great. The Venison shank literally fell off the bone and melted in my mouth. The sauce provided was a great touch and elevated the dish (would have liked more though;-)). The staff were attentive and friendly throughout. I will be back.

A wonderful dog-friendly place with excellent food. Staff are very welcoming and have a great affinity for pets. The Sunday roasts are just amazing.

Fantastic food but the evening was let down by the constant reminders that the Bar closes at 11 and we would need to leave the pub. This started at 10.30 and we had reminders every 10 minutes. We felt pushed out and this spoilt the whole evening. Forced to leave the premises at 11pm, totally unacceptable.

Just having moved to Holyport, we were eager to try out this highly rated gastro pub - and we were not disappointed. Best food we've had since end of last year in Sweden. Bavette steak is one of my secret favourites, and this was cooked to perfection. I won't even mention the amazing chocolate fondant with the mouthwatering peppermint ice cream ... Service outstanding, greatest place we've been to in a very long time. Consider us your new regulars 🥰

Popped in for a few drinks, lovely pub , staff and atmosphere

We came here for a birthday treat for my dad and was really impressed. All the food we all ordered was of good, fresh quality and came in good time. Nice portion sizes as well for the money. About right I would say. Staff were attentive and went that little bit extra if needed. Would be happy to go back anytime.

Visited for Sunday lunch with my sister and a friend. I have been here a while ago before Covid and thoroughly enjoyed the Sunday lunch then so was hopping it hadn't changed. I was not disappointed we all had the roast beef and it was delicious!!! Managed to squeeze in a pear & apple crumble after. (it was a squeeze as it was a large portion....not a bad thing!) My sister also had crumble and said we should have shared on. Our friend opted for cheese but she is a bit fussy so was offered an alternative to menu choice....She said it was lovely. The staff were very helpful and friendly especially our South African server. I will be returning very soon.

Great food quality and very nice environment. I brought my dog and my partner here every month for a Sunday brunch. I love their garden so much!

Lovely atmosphere and a great selection of beers to choose from. Food is nice too! Lovely in the summer as the garden overlooks a duck pond.

Service was exceptional, young staff who had obviously been well trained and supported by management. Food was delicious, every course delivered. It was lovely to be surrounded by a proper pub atmosphere without TVs etc. Highly recommend.

Last visit showed the food to have gone downhill - used to be 5 star, but on the last two occasions only 3 at best. Still a nice place though

Excellent place. The perfect meal

Faultless…apart from the wine. NZ Sauvignon just under £12 per glass. Took the shine off if I am honest. 😞 2 glasses of wine cost more than the entire meal.

Fab location to meet up with friends. Good atmosphere and great gardens when good weather looking over a large pond. We'll worth a visit

Visited for a Sunday lunch with friends. Very disappointed as the meal was very average for the price, gravy was just awful left such a bitter taste in the mouth which spoilt the whole meal. Very overpriced for average pub grub.

Fantastic local pub in Holyport. Nice selection of beers and ales on tap. Nice outdoor area (when weather is nice). Food looked/smelled good - definitely return to do a Pub lunch! RECOMMEND.

Really lovely place, dog friendly. Food was delicious and vegetarian friendly.

Delicious food but waited a while fir food

Wonderful quality country pub restaurant. Arranged a business lunch there and couldn't have been better. Great good value food.

Fantastic food. We came here with a large group and we all enjoyed amazing food. Well cooked, very generous portion size. Will definitely be returning.

Good pint and a nice beer garden

Proper pub w history, nice spacious garden great service and good food. They have a fun menu that’s tasty and interesting while still supporting a strong suite of the classics. Super dog friendly, fireplace and great local crowd.

Good service. Nice food. Good location

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, tasty food - good choice for vegetarians etc. Watch out for local parking restrictions: although there were no signs, people who had parked on the road outside the restaurant because the car park was full had to move their cars to avoid being ticketed by local traffic wardens - I ended up parking on one of the greens near the George on the Green pub. Many thanks to the waiting staff at the Belgian Arms for warning customers in time!

Dropped in for a quick drink after driving past many times. Lovely location on a duck pond. Place was very busy.

Good Service but very pricey for a pub, nice food but was still hungry after the meal, a nice touch was they the tops were not automatically added the bill

Food was incredible.....but there were some let downs. I personally don't like it when you have to order side dishes to makes up the veg in your plate. It annoys me as you never know this until the plate arrives. I did ask what was the portion size like, I was told it was pretty large. I do agree with that statement but the only veg was 3 asparagus spears which makes it all feel very unhealthy and at that price point, I do expect a reasonable away of veg, or it to be abundantly clear you will need other veg. As much as the argument may well be that I did get what was on the menu, rarely does anyone list all plated items so rarely do you know the veg coming so that was disappointing. We were also sat in a table where we had to ask to get past people everytime we wanted to get up for anything. The waitress had to do this the most, but it just felt awkward and uncomfortable. I'm fine with that if in for a drink in a packed place and, but not when eating a meal. It felt far nicer when that table was clear but it rarely was clear Also no music at all.....some background music would have been nice. But the food we ate was lovely. Please could you make it clearer that side veg is required or just please add a few more veg to the main, and maybe make sure that table that blocks the table you put us on only has 2 seats there.....if we were over weight I think it would have been really embarrassing as we really had to squeeze by and that was uncomfortable enough....

A great pub in a great looking setting, the staff are very professional and the food was brilliant, they also catered for my celiac mother very well and was very knowledgeable of how to cater for her.

Personally I found the starter very small for the price, although it was delicious (they want to leave you wanting more? Or I’m greedy?? Just an opinion based on experience elsewhere) and, I thought the burger tasted like aniseed, who remembers that horrible flavour from their Dads car sweets?? lol Probably just my unrefined palate and everyone else loves it? I just like a burger to taste like a burger
