The Bell Inn in Windsor and Maidenhead

Proper English Country Pub serving great range of beer, cider etc. Didn't eat on this occasion but the menu looks great.

Stopped here on a whim and so pleased we did. Gorgeous pub with a very cosy atmosphere. The staff were incredibly polite and friendly, and the food was delicious. Two for lunch with pints for only £30! Highly recommend the cheese and onion toastie - grilled just perfectly. Excellent selections of drinks as well. I think we'll make a point to return!

This is one of those pubs that gets it all right! Stunning surroundings Beautiful garden Cosy inside Relaxed atmosphere Great food Wine!! And Beer. Choices galore. And Beer bread Go for a country walk first, or just have a stroll through the churchyard nearby. Then try the beer bread and a glass of something nice. If this place doesn't fill you with cheer and happiness, you're dead inside 😆

Quite possibly one of the greatest pubs to still be standing in Britain! Wishing 1000 more years for The Bell!

Still my favourite pub! Excellent food, beer, cider and perry. Friendly locals. Happy staff

Beautiful old pub, friendly staff and a great selection of real ales and local ciders.

Great pub with great selection of beers and reasonable prices Great garden as well. Not sure why they dont have more tables outside as there is plenty of space. I did seat on the last available table on Friday afternoon

A favourite pub for the Morris Dancing community. Great setting, beautiful old "real pub" with a fine range of real ales. The staff are lovely and the regulars, of which there are several, very welcoming. Given its popularity, on street parking can be challenging but well worth the effort.

What a lovely pub! We stopped for a drink whilst out on a walk. The staff were very friendly. We didn’t eat at the pub but the food we saw looked really good. Lovely big garden at the back of the pub too. It’s a proper oldy worldy pub inside. We will definitely be back again but the time for food!

Out on a mountain bike ride, stopped for a quick cuppa & crisps between rain showers. Wonderful, ancient pub. Good service, definitely stop again.

An absolute gem of a traditional pub. Amazing selection of ales and ciders , often rotated apparently. Seems to have many of the original features from 600 odd years ago, lots of wood paneling and super friendly staff. Food choice and quality was good although I hear it can be more hit-and-miss at weekends when busier. Nice big beer garden out back. Will be going back. Regularly.

A great pub with a good selection of Beers, Ales and Ciders. A real fire in a cosy room. In Summer , places to sit outside. Have not sampled the food so can't remark on that.

The Bell has to be the friendliest, dog friendly pub we have visited! Beautiful building, lovely spacious beer garden, food was delicious and the team were so lovely! Thank you for a great afternoon! Keep up the brilliant work xxx

A pin with tasty albeit expensive food.

Nice old pub with great beer and service

Great staff. Delicious food. Quintessentially British atmosphere, surrounded by historic buildings in a charming village. We enjoyed our visit fully. Thank you!

I meet a friend here every month and it's a lovely place. The bar food is good (OK, I always have sausage ciabatta and fries with their fabulous home made tomato sauce) the range of beers is special. I haven't tried the full menu though. I've been asked to update (again) in case it's changed, and it hasn't.

Lovely historic pub with really friendly service.

Great pub with excellent service and great food. Beers offered are also excellent. Pub has loads of character and personality. Great cycle stop. Also noteworthy than the village is gorgeous!

Our favourite home away from home. Brilliant service from the team, wood fire, great ales and rothaus hefeweizen on draft. Always a wonderful escape. And a lovely community of locals.

Absolutely great, old school country pub. Great food and great choice of beers with friendly staff and lots of local doggos

Love this place. The Bell has Fabulous food and the staff is very friendly . There is a lovely walk through farms nearby. Dogs are allowed but have to be kept on their leads. My Dogs didn't care and enjoyed themselves.

Good soup, nice country pub, friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere.

Great place to stop for a summer drink after a walk in the surrounding countryside

Siren IPA is on tap, good food and friendly service.

Really lovely, historic and atmospheric pub. I just called in for a coffee and dessert - they were delicious, and the service excellent. Highly recommended.

People have been coming here for over 400 years. I can see why. Step back in time while enjoying home counties conversations. It's a locals local but if you like a bit of history with better than the average pub food then make the effort definitely worth it.

My colleagues took me here for a business lunch. They joked this place was older than the US. They were probably right! In any case, the house cider was quite good. The manu was simple, but the food was expertly prepared. I wish I had time to try the scotch/whisky flight.

Have been here a few times in the past and always have a great experience. They used to have a great choice of menu. Food was always fresh and very tasty. However, on la latest visit a few days ago it was a very limited menu, not much to choose from so we had to go somewhere else. I don't know what happened, but I hope they will go back to their previous menus. The 3 stars I gave for food is for lack of options, not the food itself.

The best pub in the world. This is how any village pub should be. A beacon.

Fantastic little pub! Will visit regularly.

Great choice of cider and a good price too, will definately go back.

Best pub in the area.. The staff are welcoming and friendly. This 14th century pub has period features, well worth seeing. The cider selection is recommended, it has won awards. The bar snacks are a cut above. They also have folk music once a month

I love this country pub. The beer is well kept and the food is excellent, although I did not eat on this visit.

Very knowledgeable bar staff! Lovely beer and food.

Been going to the Bell pub for years. Went in Saturday night 8th July for Paul's birthday to have a meal. Never have I had such unhelpful service and unaccomodating staff member! After our first drinks all 9 of us left and went to the Horse and Groom. They were so pleasant and helpful! I'm sad to say I wont be rushing back to the Bell which I think is a real shame!

We didn't eat here so can't comment on the food but the interior of the pub was very rustic with low beamed ceiling and high thresholds throughout. The garden is vast with amble seating with grass and some lovely trees and a field behind it. There is also a large patio area as soon as I you come out of the back door with lots of seating and tables.

Only had drinks. Lovely old pub, helpful and beer knowledgeable staff. Great beers.

Nice older pub, public bar with low ceiling and wooden floors, roaring fire during colder periods. Good size garden. Prices a little high and food variable with limited selection. Open hours vary often closed when least expected. Does not offer Sunday lunches and has not got a car park. Toilets, ladies quiet good, gents dated.

went with the kids and asked if a table can be moved under the shade, I was told 'no'. their business, but still disappointing. Lowering my previous rating based on this.

You couldn't find a more quintessential English countryside pub

Well we found this pub by chance? And very glad we did! Really nice, happy, helpful, friendly staff/owners! Lovely food and beer all very reasonable prices for the area!👍🍺All good! Lovely beer garden! If I lived there? Would be my local!😁🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

2 years on from my first review, still one of our favourite local pubs. Lovely lunch today, Walnut, blue cheese and endive salad, spaghetti with cavolo nero pesto, cod with greens and mash. 2020 Super tasty Bambi burger & slow cooked lamb served by cheerful, friendly staff. All wrapped up in a cosy pub with open fires & great beer.

Traditional English village pub serving good ale. Friendly staff.

Wonderful pub. Great food and we'll kept beer.

We have visited The Bell on a number of occasions in the past. Today we arrived and ordered what for us was our usual but on the foods arrival it had been stood for a while. Unfortunately the rare bit had become barely warm so we pointed this out to the staff. A few minutes later the cook arrived from the kitchen to tell us there was nothing wrong with the food. When we asked for the meal to be replaced we were very curtly told "You're not having another you're getting a refund". We have never been so badly treated anywhere and clearly will not be going again.

Lovely pub with a open log fire , great service

Wonderful 600yr old pub in a small picturesque village. Has grounds for a beer garden but street parking only. Very friendly locals and bar staff with good, reasonably priced pub grub. Visited on the ale trail but as driver, and was delighted to find unfamiliar German alcohol free beer which is very good indeed. I'll definitely go back. Perfect for Summer beers.

Superb selection of real ales, including from small local Brewers. Interesting interior with small bar rooms. Parking a little difficult

Beautiful ❤️ old traditional pub since 1608 - 415 years. Owned by a trust since then. Let's see it last beyond 2608. Our group enjoyed beer, wine and snacks. Thank you. 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟.

Amazing food and friendly staff

Brilliant village pub, great food and nice selection of drinks. A nice stop off place when going for family bike rides

Such a beautiful pub, steeped in history. Always such a friendly reception from the staff. Warm and cosy atmosphere with a delicious menu. Definitely worth a visit during any season - with crackling open fires to warm the cockles in the winter months and a courtyard and garden to relax in during the warmer months.

Lovely and warm good old fashioned pub, this place has special memories for me. Warm log fires 🔥 Very dog friendly, small menu good choice of beers 🍻

Lovely pub, wood fire, friendly staff. Always a pleasure to go to.

Great selection of beers and amazing ciders. My mother in law said it’s one of the best risottos she’s ever had and the venison was tender flavoursome and really enjoyable. Love the atmosphere here, really old pub with lots of history and an open fire. My mother and father in law wanted an authentic English pub and they were not disappointed.

The food is good. The atmosphere is genuine.There are two different dining areas as well as the barroom. There is a large garden area that I assume is open in the summer. The guys who work there are friendly as are the customers.

Wonderful! But I don’t think the menu has ever changed…..

Great pub with wonderful staff, alongside a quality drinks selection and strong food menu! Would recommend this pub for anyone looking for a traditional pub experience in a lovely Berkshire village.

Lovely historic pub in a pretty village. Good beers and menu. Very nice staff. Street parking so you mayhave to park nearby but well worth a short walk

Wonderful pub experience. Friendly and quality of food was exceptional.

Proper pub, run properly!!! Country pub vibe, genuine hospitality and a great welcome! Keep it up guys! We’ll be back!

Best Pub ever. You should try the Bambi burger !

A lovely little pub with outdoor seating and a garden. Just popped in to have a look. I arrived after 3pm and the kitchen was closed. Not a problem as I wasn't having a meal.

Delightful medieval pub with low roofs and fine ales.

Great service and local selection in super old, authentic and beautiful village pub.

Wonderful old traditional country pub. Great selection of real ales and ciders.

Great old pub retaining original charm. Good choice of beers and service was great. Menu was limited but the food was good.

visited last Monday at 6pm (when they start serving food), The range of real Ale and Cider is fantastic and we tried 3 different Ales all of which were served in perfect condition and super tasty. The Food was also great and the staff all first class. Fantastic village pub. highly recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic food and drinks in this historic pub. Large beer garden to the rear. Dog friendly.

A gem of a pub, with five beers and great food on offer. Allegedly dating from the 14th century, it's worth a visit just for the history!

Please don't get me wrong... this is a fantastic pub. Great menu, drinks and atmosphere. There is only 1 small problem for me which might not be a problem for most making it 4 out of 5 for me. I felt like an outsider and was not given even slightly the same welcome as the locals. I understand that, but being in the hospitality industry myself, extending genuine warm welcome to all will make more of us feel welcome... even of we live in the village next door.

Quirky old style pub with really interesting historical decor. Very friendly staff. Had a nice meal here with a group of friends. Would definitely go back.

Excellent historical pub Friendly welcome

Great countryside pub. Stopped here for lunch after a walk and had a great burger. The classic looks of the pub and the open fireplace makes it even more authentic. The staff was very welcoming and friendly too.

Super food, great ever changing range of well kept beers. Great service, even when very busy.

Great village pub. Food is home made and tasty and there's a good selection of beer and cider. Lovely in the winter with the log fires burning.

Lovely log fires and delicious toasted sandwiches

Great old coaching with friendly welcome, good local ales and really tasty food. Hadn’t been before but will be back soon after a really pleasant lunch.

This is the best pub in Berkshire. A classic old Inn, with lovely friendly staff, excellent beer and great food at reasonable prices. You must give it a try.

Stunning old English pub with roaring fires can't beat it

The Bell had a staff shortage when we dropped in for lunch but the busy, multi-tasking staff were nevertheless extremely friendly and welcoming. We chose from a reduced menu but our meal was well presented, perfectly cooked and delicious. There was an open log fire to warm the pub and enhance the ambience. There were 4 cask ales on offer and those I tried were in excellent condition. If you're looking for a great English country pub experience you'll find it at The Bell at Waltham St Lawrence.

Terrific, very old pub; claims to have been there since the 15th century. It is certainly old and in a very picturesque location next to a very old church in the village of Waltham St. Lawrence. Good selection of beers and welcoming staff. Worth a visit if you're in the area, but you'll have to drive so the chances of having a session are limited unless you're a local.

Amazing food and wine. Great service (the stuff are great for conversation also) with a highly authentic, traditional English pub atmosphere. 10/10

Very good ale and food, nice service.

Little hidden gem of a pub this. Beautiful big garden with marquee that can cater for events such as weddings and parties. Great pub grub (highly recommend the burger with horseradish!) And a fabulous selection of craft beers all set within it's character-full 15th century setting. If you haven't been, you need to!

Beautiful pub. Made to feel welcome by staff I will definitely return

Beautiful setting. Lovely pub good food and beer, masks required in the pub, table service outside.

Really nice pub great service would definitely visit again

This pub is a classic village pub, very friendly. The staff are great. You have to try the Bambi burger, delicious 😋😋😋. First time I've been there and will definitely go back. Good selection of cask ciders as well

Good beer, excellent service, lovely location

Lovely little place. Eat in or out. Small lunch menu, but very appetising. Very nice.

Appalling lack of service. We had forgotten our masks and so were not allowed to order, and told there was no table service. As we were preparing to leave the couple who took our table were then visited by a barmaid offering to take their order... My local friends tell me this lack of hospitality is an ongoing issue. See below.

Huge price increase which would be okay if the portions weren't significantly smaller than what they were. Sunday roasts are charged at £25 and it is almost like a childs portion. Steaks used to be amazing and now its like eating rubber. Quality of food is very lacking to what it has been in the past. Service very poor, and a miscellaneous cost of £3 added to the bill, not sure what that was, would have asked if I noticed at the time. Will not be returning. Would have complained about the steak which I asked for as medium rare and came to me near on well done. Neither of the waitresses came back to ask and given it took 20 minutes and asking twice for an additional drink probably would have been there all night. The Sirloin is a cheaper cut of meat in comparison to the rib eye you used to sell and the price has increased. The portions are smaller, understand you need to make a profit but you should not compromise quality as no one minds paying more if justified.

Charming old pub in the centre of a quiet village. Food menu was limited but delicious so definitely quality over quantity here. Interesting historical features. Perhaps a little pricey and menu a little misleading as basic sides are extra (chips served with burger but charged extra) but overall the food was very tasty so no big qualms.

Quaint pub. Interesting place. Nice walks in the vicinity (eg to Shottesbrooke, White Waltham)

Lovely food as always and great staff dealing with current situation very well

OK for our cycling pub lunch, nice staff but service a bit slow and a limited food menu.

Lovely pub and Very friendly service

Great traditional pub. No music, candles and great home cooked pub food. Real ales kept well. Very friendly staff and owners. Should get 6 stars... :)
