The Duchess of Cambridge Pub in Windsor and Maidenhead

Nice, cozy place for dinner and drinks! The steak and ale pie was amazing! We liked that this place was walking distance to our hotel/guest house and to the shops in town.

Booked for a Saturday afternoon after a family event. They were one of the few places in the area that could accommodate a large group- about 28. Put us on one long table, food came out well, mostly all at the same time and at good temperature for a large order. Drinks good and price reasonable for location. Staff were excellent in restaurant and at bar. They made little place cards with each persons food order that then made it easy for multiple people patting the bill - just hand them the cards you were paying for and all sorted. Very impressed for such a large group and in a tourist trap area. Thanks to all!

Absolutely excellent food, atmosphere and service. Will come back again. Excellent for large groups as well as families

Went there for a quick bite and opted for sandwiches. They were flavourful and delicious. Highly recommend for a stop prior to discovering the city

Great pub. Had a family meal here with two fussy eaters, all left happy. A bit pricy but good quality food that was nice and fresh. Table ordered a burger, a pie, tomato pasta and a chicken/pasta combo. Good food all round. Was a Saturday night around 6 so it was a bit loud but was overall a nice atmosphere. Would thoroughly recommend the house IPA.

Had a little bit of a time crunch of 30 minutes and was able to do it! Best fish and chips so far on our trip. Nicely battered with mushy peas. *Chef's kiss*

Great spot for lunch. They have a full gluten free menu and all of the staff were both friendly and thoughtful regarding our kids' allergies. Delicious beers on draft, and an excellent pub menu. Would make an effort to visit again next trip out to England.

Perfect pies and perfect service!

This is such a great pub right across the street from Windsor Castle. Ola, the assistant manager, was our server and is a delight. She was helpful, making suggestions on dishes to try. The food came quickly and was delicious. My friend got the Hunter’s Chicken and said it was very good. I got the Pie Tasting and wowzers! They were all delicious but the cheddar cheese, potato and leek pie really knocked my socks off. Ola shared that everything is made fresh and when they run out, they are out. She obviously has a lot of pride in this pub and it’s a true gem! If I’m ever back in Windsor, this is where I’ll be dining!

Excellent venue near the castle and a proper English pub. Not just a Weatherspoons!

Tourist Trap! Overcooked food and overpriced

Having spent Saturday evening in Pub from 7pm to10pm. Wefojnd that the food was cold on one plate returned. Cod and Chips for £19 was not the best fish .Witherspoons is better Cod The atmosphere was OK when I first arrived sitting in Food area after the Waitress requested if I was having food ,she was very polite and welcoming my answer was waiting gor 2 more guests.having my guests arrived we sat down for food.after replacing the food pie and mash which was cold We found on the next table of Asian were very very loud with no food on table .caused by the men the women left the table . I mentioned to Waitress who were not in a position to assist as no Manager or Security were around. I feel sorry for the Waitress it is not her fault Having spent a lot of money on food and drinks The evening was spoilt. This is the second time this year with nit very good food 1st was a party of 12 who were having a late Xmas party ,having spent a lot of money on food an drink .the burgers and steaks were not good. 1st time we were in there 1 minute after nine requested some food Chef replied were closed .I replied to him surely you can rustle up something for us .no was the answer. Posh pub no personality only the Lady Manager on first 2 visits was excellent .rest ? She was not on duty Drinks expensive along with food City Cruncher

I got charged £20 for fish and chips and they gave me 5 chips and when i complained about this they told me they were speciality potatoes which they weren’t.

Mediocre food wise. Staff was friendly, atmosphere and decoration bit old school.

Unfortunately the quality of the food in the evening is poor. I have had sandwiches here which were nice at lunchtime but food in the evenings is mediocre at best. The fish and chips was way overcooked with dry fish barely noticable inside the batter. The chips portion was far too small. The steaks are small for the (£22) price and look worse with a measly portion of chips. Brownie dessert was tiny and a ridiculous £8 charge. Very poor - we would have been better off in Wetherspoons.

Our server, Aliga was kind and informative and helpful! Food was great. Perfect place to grab a pint after a visit to Windsor Castle.

Great visit, highly recommend. Stopped for Lunch after visiting Windsor Castle. Immediately got a seat, had drinks and appetizer on the table within 15 minutes. Our server, Stacey, answered all questions. Super cool, got sample of their drafts, bribed the cooks to get me some of their red wine gravvy on the side. Poured it on everything. Even with 3 kids under 4 years old, very accommodating.

Lovely spot for locals and tourists. Great pornstar martinis and food fantastic.

One of my bucket list items on my trip to england was to have a sunday roast, and im so glad i chose this place!! As a celiac, i could not just have it anywhere, and this one blew me away!

really nice atmosphere, food is decent and standard pub food, prices are decent. atmosphere is lovely, warm and homely inside, lively but not too loud!

Came for a quick drink. Nice large place located right in the centre of Windsor across the road from the castle. Good choice of drinks at reasonable prices. Service was ok. Food menu available but we didn't order any food.

Came here to meet a friend for a few drinks. However we decided to stay for food. Very glad we did, our server Daisy was so lovely with good knowledge of the menu and was really attentive. Food was lovely. We will be back!

Nice walk through Windsor and we popped into the dutches of Cambridge beautiful pub very nice staff we was greeted and served by a lady called Stacey she was very polite and new exactly what she was doing will 100% be returning thanks to her

Super great night had in the duchess, Big shout out to daisy for the excellent service

Loved it so much. Great service amazing vibes in a beautiful, characterful and vintage interior. Liked that it is fairly relaxed while feeling sophisticated and food prices and very reasonable. Alicia was very accommodating and patient and helped us extremely well with my husband’s dairy allergy. It was handled extremely well and taken very seriously. Thank you Alicia for great service !!

Loved the vibe in there and food was great. A really nice and welcoming girl called Alicia (not sure how her name is spelt) brunette, was really helpful. Would definitely come back!

Food was amazing, the place had a really nice vibe to it. Customer service was amazing to staff were very polite and well mannered. I’d like to put out a thanks to a young girl named Alicja who was amazing to us all and made us feel very welcomed, would definitely come again and will definitely be recommending to others.

very nice pub. very friendly service. delicious food.

Lovely spot in Windsor! The staff were lovely and the atmosphere was great , we will definitely be back. Alicja was brilliant also. Thank you! :)

service was amazing. i spent as lovely valentines day date with my lover 🥰 the servers were incredibly nice and the hosts just amazing especially alicia. the drinks were super good 🍷

Ola took amazing care of us from start to finish! Absolutely amazing! Food was outstanding, especially for a set menu as other places aren't so generous. Fantastic part of our valentines evening, thank you 😊

My wife and I took our friend there for lunch. My wife and her friend had the fish and chips , and I had ham and eggs. After we ordered the food, the manager placed a reserved sign on our table saying we only had an hour left to sit at the table.My wife found a hair in her food. My ham was slimy and fatty the eggs one was rock hard, and the other wasn't cooked and was also very snotty. We complained to the duty manager who was very nice and apologetic and refunded one meal.we then explained we wasn't tourists but quite regular visitors so she then refunded all the bill and gave us a free drink but you could see the distane on the managers face as this was happening. It's a shame, but we won't be returning soon.we will return in the summer to see if there has been a change in manager.

I visited the Duchess Of Cambridge recently and had fish and chips. The food was lovely and the staff were really friendly. I think I was served by Stacey who checked on me throughout. Definitely worthy of 5 stars.

Extremely disappointing roast beef (£22.50) beef was like old leather and cold , veg were negligible ( 2 small pieces of carrot and parsnip one small wilted bit of broccoli and a small spoonful of cabbage ) gravy was straight out a packet but the potatoes were good , rather go to Toby Carvery Cliff

A great friendly with great staff and comfy place to stop off for a beer, didn't have the food but it did smell great maybe on the next visit, definitely recommend

Thank you Joanna for such a great experience and service! Great food and drinks☺️. Will definitely come back ♥️

I have visited Tha Duchess of Cambridge with my family yesterday. We had fantastic time there. Very welcoming atmosphere, delicious fish and chips. Our waitress Joanna was helpful and lovely. Thank you. I can fully recommend this pub 💕

Really nice place outside of the castle to go too. Good food and drink. Great atmosphere on a Friday and Saturday night. Only disappointing thing is the toilets are disgusting on those evenings and are never cleaned.

A strong ammonia smell in the gents toilet. Your eyes will burn

Friendly staff in a British pub that's pretty much used to having lots of tourists so it doesn't really focus on the quality of food. But it is what it is and serves the local market well

Passing by on Saturday night. Hailed in by the Dj and the music playing. A hidden gym. Incredible atmosphere. Even those that don’t dance, danced. Very friendly. Reasonable prices. This is a hidden gem

This visit was taken 2 years ago 22/01/23 I still have some pictures on my phone and thought I would give this lovely pub a review, Food is yummy specially the padron peppers we tried to book this place before this visit to Windsor but they closed at 4 pm this is 2 yrs ago so the second time we managed to get a table ! Lovely lunch and drink while exploring the castle 🏰

Omg I had the Steak Fritas and it was lush.. 5 of us ordered different meals and rhe feedback was everything was lush. I would definitely go back. Location is amazing, even the music was good. Staff were helpful and polite.

We were here for a week visiting from the states. This was the BEST gluten free meal we had all week. They have a menu for gluten free. The woman I assume is the manger took time to assist another member of our travel party with his dietary restrictions. Thank you for keeping us safe! The steak sandwich was so great. I’ll dream about that onion marmalade. The gf brownie was fantastic. I was sad we couldn’t try the cheesecake because it was out of stock but it sounded amazing. Thank you for wonderful service!!

If you’re visiting Windsor, try this place, great food, drink & service.

The venue was very busy, however the staff were very accommodating and attentive. Sarah was mindful of our requests. Joanna, despite the fact that it was very busy, was excellent, fantastic service with a smile and a chat. We were made to feel very welcome. The food was very good, but the pies could have had a little more mash, otherwise all was perfect. Thank you to the team. You deserve recognition for making our afternoon enjoyable.

Great food in the most touristy location. Would recommend Wagyu burger and pies.

Really poor experience. Starters were dumped on the table at the same time as main course. Food was very mediocre and music was too loud. Tables were sticky so obviously not cleaned after each seating of clients.

Food was warm just microwaved to heat it up attitude of staff very rude sat down and ordered food and then 10 minutes later was told table was reserved and had to get off the table in 45 minutes but it was not reserved when we sat down

Great food and service. Staff very pleasant 😊

Amazing place to go. Please get more bar staff

Awful service, came in to order a cocktail and was told not serving cocktails. Bizzare for a pub/bar.

Amazing Pub with delicious food and 5 star service, special thanks to (if I remember correctly) Joanna Gaweda really sorry if I butchered your name, she provided us with exceptional service for instance she offered us local Beer tasting which was excellent and unexpected then we asked if there's anything particular she would recommend for dinner and without any hesitation she offered their traditional Fish & Chips as well as Steak Pie I had a Pie and partner had Fish, that was one of the best pie's and fish and chips we ever had, and all credit to amazing Joanna that's super positive, fun, energetic and amazing service provider. Thank you and definitely will be back again

My wife and kids went for lunch today but what an anticlimax, miles below par, nachos terrible, dry nachos without melted cheese around a tiny bowl of grated cheese, random kidney beens, salsa and sour cream mixed together, a child could of put this together, a plate of six chicken strips, ham egg and chips, 2 lemonades and a medium wine, mugged off for £60 plus and a rude waitress to boot, merry Christmas to you too!

Joanna was our fantastic server. In spite of being extraordinarily busy, she was very attentive and ensured we were well taken care of. The fish & chips and sticky toffee pudding were exceptional and are a must-try. Will certainly come back here next time we are in Windsor.

Fabulous lunch with family, good atmosphere & great service from Joanna. We'll definitely be back again. Thanks & merry Xmas

The best Sunday roast of my life, along with the finest Guinness and desserts. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the gentleman who served us, but he ensured we were happy and having a good time. Thank you 🙏

Great pub 1st visit,will be back.Had the veggie pie and mash was delish....Really good vibe on a Saturday evening.

Nice place for lunch after visiting the Castle. Great ambiance and service. Wonderful burger and beer. And very quick service in spite of being busy. Kids menu was perfect for our 3 young ones. Plenty of food and reasonable prices.

Had a couple of cocktails and the baked camembert to share which was lovely. The staff were friendly including a great member of the team who was clearing tables and bringing out food wish I had caught his name as he was an asset. Atmosphere is cosy without being cramped and the Christmas decorations were up which made the place feel very festive.

Joanna did an extremely good job. She took care of us. All the time with a beautiful smile.

Nice pub , with very welcoming staff.

Had an amazing time at The Duchess of Cambridge on Friday night, Sarah and the team were amazing! We had loads of cocktails which were first class! The pub was decorated ready for the Christmas season and full of festive cheer; Thank you for a great night we will be back again very soon!

The best fish & chips we’ve ever had! Super fresh, crispy and tasty! Staff were also really nice!

Ola was so friendly and helpful! We had their first mulled wine of the season and it was fabulous! They make their mulled wine from scratch rather than just dumping a bottle in a pan and warming it. SO DELICIOUS!!!

Amazing venue!!! We booked a table for 12x adults and our 1yr old son for my mums 70th Birthday. We had a mixture of mains and each one was delicious. The staff couldn’t help us enough and were extremely friendly, they even let us cut our own birthday cake up and have that for dessert. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough and we would definitely return next time we visit Windsor. Thank you 👍👍

Firstly a nice pub in Windsor, there’s where the pros end. We had one person with a dairy allergy and there was no dairy free meat option, instead there was a vegan tart I would not recommend at all. The broccoli was wet, stringy and soggy, potatoes flavourless, gravy mediocre, cauli cheese loads of cheese but no flavour, pigs in blankets burnt to a crisp. Great pub if you wish for drinks just not a roast. Service extremely average.

I love this pub, it's beautiful and staff is cheerful! I love Martin's cocktails, his margarita is my favourite of all!

Really disappointed with the cocktails, £11 for PornStar Martini that is a bad bulk premix, then a Margarita that is no better. Sorry but for these prices, they should make cocktails that taste as they should. Besides the whisky tastes like it is watered down. Not impressed and not a customer to this place.

Had an amazing Lamb pie with veg, best pie I have ever tasted (seriously that good). Great service, warm and welcoming, just like the atmosphere. Sticky toffee pud with both custard and ice cream was recommended by waitress and was spot on. Great place to eat anytime but we went before theatre show in Windsor. Been a number of times - great view of castle and video show on tower in December. 5 stars

Great food, great atmosphere and brilliant service from Lee.

Lovely pub at the heart of Windsor Castle. Friendly and welcoming service. Lovely Alexandra recommended the baked camembert and I can safely say it’s the best I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend and visit again when I return to Windsor!

Lee our server was friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful. Food was great and we hope to return very soon.

Great English pub! Tristan offered a warm welcome, service and food first class…

Visited Tuesday 29/11/24, we were returning family to Heathrow so always stop off for a bite to eat in Windsor , we all ate Fish ,&chips with a beer , staff were amazing and the food absolutely delicious, and two off our party were chefs

It's a pretty new pub, but the atmosphere is still very good. You don't get that new gastro bar feeling, which is a good thing. Also another positive thing, when we sat down with our family, the staff came and gave our kids som drawing stuff. Family friendly pub indeed, as well they had their own kids menu. The negative things. I ordered bangers and mash. The bangers were dry and cold. Tasted like they were leftovers from the day before. Everything else about the meal was fine. Also the selection of ales and ciders was not very good. The ales I had, not top notch and the selection was not very big. Will I visit this place again? Maybe, it depends.

Food is nice. The young boy and girl staff are really friendly too. Really friendly thank you for the staff. But sorry that there is an old lady with black hair and glasses who is rude. I question that maybe she is racist since she ignored me standing in front of the desk and helped to order for the girl standing behind me. Seriously please be kind to everyone. I brought parents to this pub not for your attitude.

We had a chicken and a beef roast. We ordered at the bar and 5 mins later the food arrived. The quickest roast ever! Unfortunately, the potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were dry. Clearly they has been put under a heater to keep warm for some time. In my opinion, not worth the price at all.

Amazing food and our waiter Lee provided outstanding service throughout the night. I would highly recommend this pub/restaurant. I had the best fish and chips and my partner had the steak and ale pie which he said was one of the best he’d eaten! Thank you Lee for your service - a true asset

real5 Networking Windsor & Maidenhead held our monthly business networking event at The Duchess of Cambridge on Friday 18th October. We had visited this venue before and knew it to be good value with excellent food and hospitality. It did not disappoint this time. The front of house team of Ola, Alicja, Sarah and Daisy were so welcoming and helpful, while the food produced by the chefs Rob and Lukasz was both plentiful and delicious. Would thoroughly recommend The Duchess of Cambridge and the team for anyone who wants great food, hospitality and atmosphere.

Lovely pub situated in the heart of Windsor. Great food, decent portions and good value for money. As expected with the location it does get busy however, this was not reflected on the service. All the staff were friendly and welcoming especially our waitress Alex. Alex had great knowledge of the area and made a few recommendations to make our visit at Windsor one to remember! Even going above and beyond, helping us book our tour of Windsor castle. We wouldn't have managed without her. Thank you Alex you absolute star! 🌟

Great Sunday roast, good choice if meats, served fresh and hot. Service is excellent and add to the experience. Will be back soon!!

10/10 would recommend. Lovely service from Alexandra who was very good and efficient. Will definitely return when back in the area. Definitely worth a visit when visiting Windsor Castle

Great experience at the pub! We were greeted and seated promptly! The order came so quick and the portion size was amazing! Think we ordered too much as I did not expect the portions would be quite as large! Definitely recommend. Atmosphere was amazing and the location is just superb for when you are coming for a day out in Windsor!

Had a really great meal here a couple of weeks ago. Great food although a little on the warm side rather than hot but this was really quickly dealt with. The lady who looked after us was fantastic. I think her name was Emily, apologies if this was wrong.

A bustling pub but the food and service were spot on so got lunch without delay. I'm not usually a burger fan but the Wagyu burger was delicious

Don’t bother food is less than average and premises is run by children

The claim of serving the best British fish & chips is an overstatement—the fish wasn’t even fresh. We also ordered a wagyu burger, priced around £17 or £18 (I can’t recall exactly), and it was truly disappointing. Will not visit again.

Excellent food. Excellent service. We managed a walk in, but was getting busy as we were leaving. Might be worth booking.

Really really really friendly people and awesome food! Thanks for the stay. Greetings from Germany

Food was awful. Potatoes and rice were definitely microwaved. Potatoes were rubber. Rice was cheap microwaved rubbish you'd buy from supermarket. Meals were tasteless. Nearly £70 for two mains, two sweets and two juices. Second worst meal we've ever had.

The Sunday Roast was excellent which worked well with the local beer! Our waitress Aleksandra was very helpful in sorting out everything for us after the delay with our drinks and miscommunication with the kitchen regarding the pre-order Roast. We will definitely return to try the pie of the week.

Great pub to enjoy after touring Windsor Castle. Alessandra, our server, was wonderful and the items she recommended were great. The fish and chips and the Pie Tasting Plate are a must do!

My family and I had dinner the day we arrived to Windsor and loved it so much that we returned for lunch the following day. I highly recommend it.

We (3 adults) had the pleasure of being looked after by Kristin. He had that rare blend of hospitality, yet not at all bothersome. When next visiting Windsor, we will be happy to try another delicious dinner .

Staff rude... Food was microwaved... I even had to pour my own beer... So much for english hospitality... Do not go there..

Great options for allergies specifically gluten free

Was away with partner really fancied a Sunday lunch call in to the duchess. Omg!!!!! Wow the customer service was spot on and staff were friendly . And the lunch was so tasty and satisfying. Great value for money would vist again
