The Duchess of Cambridge Pub in Windsor and Maidenhead

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!!!

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.

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 👍👍

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!

Great food, great atmosphere and brilliant service from Lee.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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! 🌟

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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

Fish and chips are all right. Claiming this is the best of British fish and chips is a big call to make. We’ve definitely had better. Service is OK but nothing special. Atmosphere inside is good, except for the choice of thumping music which somehow is not befitting the establishment. Overall, this is forgettable.

We came across this by chance. Unfortunately, they had sold out of meat pies. Fortunately, the curry was very good. Tables were clean and staff were friendly.

A busy Windsor pub, nice decor, great customer service from Joanna who was very friendly and accommodating, a great embassador for the company, food came quickly, and was very tasty, highly recommend a visit

Staff lovely cleaned tables quickly so we could have clean table asked if we wanted water for the dog. Food nice

Nice cocktails and friendly staff.

Great little pub and great drink choice

Great food, clean restaurant, friendly staff, fair prices. Lots of variety in the menu and nice size meals too. A perfect eatery right next to Windsor Castle,

Had run out of roasts so ordered a pie. The pie that arrived was not the one I had ordered and they then told me they had run out of that one. Asked me if I’d like to order something else but by this time my of my party had nearly finished their meal. Overall a bit disappointing but might be better on a less busy day.

Always a nice welcome with a smile on their face.

We live local and have been coming to this pub for years. We loved the choice of ales, the food and the ambience. Unfortunately all has suddenly changed for the worse. Out of all the ales taps on show only one was available and it wasn't very nice. The staff looked like they couldn't be bothered and when dinner came it was a real disappointment. I went for the steak and ale pie which is what I normally get. It used to be a big fluffy pastry pie with loads of meat and plenty of chips and gravy. This time it was a tiny pie not much bigger than your average pork pie. It wasn't very hot and there was only about 8 chips with hardly any gravy. Needless to say the price has gone up by about 20%. I won't come back here again, which is a a shame because it has been a good pub for years. It seems to be the same story in hospitality nowadays, the minimum wage keeps going up which doesn't make anyone better of because everything in life goes up with it, and the service gets worse and worse. It seems like staff want big wages but don't want to work for it. Extremely disappointed.

An ideal place for lunch in Windsor. Very good casserole pies!

Awful miserable barmaid,awful scruffy indefferent attitude who was in charge.Will never go back.Used to be a nice place.Don't bother with this place go somewhere nicer.

A good find for a nice pub lunch. With steps it's not really accessible friendly but lovely place, good service and very nice food, steak pie was great

Could not be less welcoming. We were told we could it even borrow chairs from empty tables to sit down with zero charm or civility.

Extremely rude and unwelcoming. We sat in an empty restaurant for a quick drink with our 3 children and were told we were not allowed to move 2 chairs to allow us all to sit down. The children then sat ourside and were asked for Id as they were sitting 3 metres away from us. Horrible and unpleasant experience from a rude waitress. Very sad as I grew up in Windsor and expected more.

It started with a smile ... but then went wrong ! Menus looked they were just dried on a radiator !... Sat in the 'waitress service' area with 2 other tables of 2 people so not busy ! . Waited for attention to order drinks... 3 cocktails = but as my 19 year old had no ID so she had a coke, which was totally understandable... Then proceeded to wait 30mins before we decided to leave as there was no "waitress' ... We decided to leave... but got charged for the 3 cocktails ... so we went back to ask for a refund for the difference of a cocktail to a coke ... It was commented that I had an attitude (which I heard!!!!) Guy with bleached hair (didn't get his name) obviously didn't like someone asking for their money back!!! Shame !!

We had booked a table 2 weeks in advance for 11 people. It was all self service as told we were not in restaurant. Disappointing why thet didn't put us i. Restaurant. My mum is gluten free and a simple ham, egg & chips meal was not available. She ended up with egg & chips only. Not good

During a recent trip to Windsor and after a long day of walking & sightseeing I was really looking forward to a Traditional Pub Meal in this well known local Pub. I was sadly very disappointed , the prawn cocktail starter was ok although had to ask for butter for the chargrilled sourdough bread , the main course of steak & ale pie with chips and veg was terrible , pie was dry and I had to ask for gravy which I think was meant to come with it , the gravy tasted like the packet bisto, chips were oven chips and the green veg soggy and tasteless , I left the majority of the food ( after a few chips and some of the pie as I was starving ) I did inform staff that my main meal was poor , I was expecting to be offered at least a partial refund which was not offered , the food was not cheap approx £8.50 for the starter and £17.50 for the pie and chips . Definitely not good value , I had eaten in a Thai restaurant previously and a Brasserie for around the same price both of which served delicious food freshly cooked . The Pub itself is very quaint and I would visit again for drinks but sadly my experience would put me off eating in there again .

We went to see Windsor Castle on Saturday 29 June. Decided to go for dinner before returning to our airbnb. We saw the Duchess of Cambridge pub on the opposite side of the road, and decided to try it. The atmosphere was very friendly and the service prompt. I chose wholemeal scampi and my partner had Ham, Egg and chips. The meals arrived quickly, and was absolutely delicious. It was a hot day, and we were also given an iced bottle of water and glasses. The staff were attentive, and the prices were very reasonable. The music played was very acceptable too. The seats were comfortable, which was great as I have mobility issues.

Called whilst visiting Windsor Castle across the road. Service was quick, and the food of good quality and quantity . Toilets very clean.

We stopped here after visiting Windsor. Good service and everyone enjoyed their meals as it hit the spot after touring. Would recommend stopping for a bite and refreshments.

Went to this restaurant while visiting London. Great location within the town right next to Windsor Castle. Both food and service were good.

Called in today for lunch having decided to visit Windsor on our way home from London. The Pub looked inviting, clean and the menu had a number of meals to choose from. The young man at the Bar was friendly and helpful and put in place everything that was asked for. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Two half chicken roasts, one Pie and a Nachos. Very tasty and a good size portion. Would happily eat here again if in the area Thank you.

Staff were so rude and judgemental, awful experience.

Excellent atention. You order your food at the counter, pay and in a few minutes it is on your table. In addition, the dishes have good flavor. Highly recommended!

Excellent food. Wander up to the bar for service. Server gave us a blank look when we asked for HP Sauce, even though the restaurant serves roost beef.

Excellent bangers and mash with buttered greens and half a grilled red onion. Service was friendly and food came out promptly. Place is clean and vibe is chill, with a wonderful playlist/soundtrack. As a tourist I found many places rated far less often than I like, but this place stood out. There's a good reason for that. Adding my review to this.

Service not good at this place, from younger staff made us feel unwelcome. Food was average no real taste or flavour steak sandwich the steak was really tough

Terrible service Me and my friend came into the seating area whilst staff were just staring at us, we then approached a waiter and asked about seating and they said to look outside. Due to the rain we went up to a lady behind the bar and asked if the tables could be wiped down from rain, she then proceeded to hand us some loo roll. Not once did they speak to us or approach us and we essentially had to serve ourselves. Drinks were good. Food was average .

I've been here a few times now, the pub has a good selection of food and drinks, friendly staff and a welcoming environment. Will be visiting again soon

The food was fine and the staff were nice. The location was great, though.

Nice town centre pub opposite the castle. Bit too touristy and too many kids but if you pick the right time of day I'm sure its nice. Didn't eat.

Very nice Sunday roast and espresso martinis.

There was a sign when we entered that says the best pies but nothing on seating. My colleagues and I entered gingerly and looked around before we found a table, to realise the table next to us, the staff were just seated there at one of the tables, looking at us trying to find ourselves a table. It was over a bank holiday. Next, we had an issue with ordering as an item had an error. I waved for the only lady (one of the 2 seated at the table earlier) who was behind the counter for help. She looked at me nonchalantly saying 'No, order via your phone' and looked away. Again, she refused to come over to my table again after I raised my hand about our dessert even though we completed our dinner for a good 30min. We had to walk over to remind them about our orders. I'm very appalled by the staff, especially the female staff's non existent service. The pies are good but nope I would rather eat less tasty pies elsewhere next time. I hope the management reads this and consider their staff choice and training.

I took a couple of international workmates here as they were craving some British pies and of course this place has a great reputation for them. Sadly the experience just wasn’t good. We wanted to order with staff but were just pointed to order at table on app by a very disinterested staff member. This was awkward for us as the workmates weren’t from U.K. and had to go through registering their company cards. The pie tasters option had an error but we had to try and grab the disinterested staff members attention who wasn’t helpful or offered suggestions and just said we had 1 left. We ended ordering individual ones and split them ourselves. Our starter came with our main meal. Our desserts we ordered were forgotten about so after a while we had to chase them up. The custard on mines had a skin on it and the ice cream had pretty much fully melted. We were never asked if we wanted more drinks. The pies were actually tasty and good. But the service was awful sadly and overall experience just not great.

Very welcoming and very good fresh produce, I recommend

Nice food & service, but not special.

Good menu with a lot of variety. Tikka with chicken and pie sampler with mash were both EXCELLENT and hit the spot after a long morning touring Windsor Castle. Kid’s menu had good options too. Tap water served with ICE which as an American used to that as a standard I appreciated. Charming and clean interior, clean toilets. Had a nice little outdoor seating area in the back (would be a nice escape from the tourist hustle outside). Really glad we walked by - we were tired and hungry but left full and recharged.

Great cocktails and food on the street front.

Came here after not being waited on down the street. Very attentive and food was great.

Decent interior, but one of the worst roasts I’ve had to date. Tough meat smothered in tasteless gravy and served cold. Would not recommend or come back.

How you can say this is the best fish and chips in Windsor is beyond me. It’s the worst and most expensive I’ve ever had. Chips were hard and the fish was hard to find in the flat overcooked batter…never again

We had a wonderful dinner at this classy and cosy pub. The Sunday roast was delicious! Loved the Yorkshire pudding!

Very nice pub with very nice staff.

Only three cask ales and two were out. Food is overpriced and portions are small. Modern pub, with little ambiance.

Didn't go for dinner but the drinks are very good and staff are very freidnly .

The beer selection is exceptional, with a wide range of draft and bottled beers from local and international breweries. Food lovers will not be disappointed by the delicious dishes on offer on the menu, which range from classic fish and chips to tasty vegetarian dishes.

Not a great eating experience. Based on previous reviews, myself and my partner were looking forward to this meal. I had fish and chips (the worst I have ever had) it was stale. Over cooked chips, but amazing mushy peas, which were the only thing I enjoyed. My partner had the chicken roast. Other than the veg. The rest of the plate was disappointing. Similar to my fish and chips everything seemed stale. The chicken had a strange smell to it. I seemed like two meals that had been sitting around and thrown into a microwave on order. For the price, I was expecting some freshly cooked food with good flavour. I don’t think I would ever return here.

Shrinkflation seems to have really come to this pub. My steak sandwich was too small for a 3 year old child.

Nice place to have Sunday roast

great ‘old fashioned’ cocktail. Have since original review, continued to thoroughly enjoy the best cocktails in Windsor and beyond! Exceptional.

A little pricey but this was my first time visiting England. It was one of the best meals I have had here.

Loved the food! Had fish and chips and it was fried perfectly with a touch of rosemary also! Potato chips were perfect too and service was wonderful thank you ❤️

Nice place. Nicely decorated, great menu selection, good grub and dog friendly. Def recommend.

ordered steak and fries and it came with half a steak…rip off for £20

Yummy fish and chips in Windsor I went to this pub for lunch with my girlfriend during a day out in Windsor. The restaurant is located in the English town near the central railway station. The name is a tribute to Kate Middleton. The interior is large and furnished in perfect English style. After sitting down you have to go to the counter to order, this aspect was not clear to us tourists. I had fish and chips accompanied by a medium beer. I found the fish very good and crunchy, a dish that filled me up completely. Prices are in line with the national average. A great place to eat in Windsor.

Enjoyed a quick pint with friends whilst waiting for my kids to finish a club in town. Friendly, quick, service, and good range of drinks. Traditionally done up. Happy atmosphere.

Good pub went there on Saturday night busy good atmosphere, good service

Duchess of Cambridge: Burger a royal triumph, and the sticky toffee steals the show! Pub's charm across from Windsor Castle makes it a must-visit (skip the steak & ale pie and restrooms though). 3/5 crowns!

Great Sunday roast and great atmosphere. Really good value for money.

Stopped in for an 'Old fashion ' cocktail, ran out of bitters, had to wait, also felt staff unsure of how to prepare it, ended up with bourbon on rocks with a slice of lemon and a taste of bitters , weak and expensive for what is was, should have had a pint...

Sorry I don’t like doing bad reviews but feel it can be used to improve. We came in for lunch and had Pie and ‘mash’. It said it came with veg but it was about a dessert spoon full. The ‘mash’ was awful - it definately didn’t taste like fresh potatoes. Alongside two glasses of wine and a beer - came to a whopping £65! Won’t be back I’m afraid!

21.12.23 in Windsor to see family for a night before Xmas. Arrived very hungry at 6.30pm with no booking but we didn't need long and they squeezed us in. Coming from Spain we really wanted someone 'British' so we all ordered pies. They were amazing! Served with mash or chips. Will say the chips are frozen and mash portion was a tad small but the braised green veg ( kale and broccoli with leaks) was so lovely. Served with jugs of warm gravy. We loved it! £99 for 4 main courses. 2 lge glasses of red and 2 soft drinks. They have bottled tap water on ice which you can grab as you wish.

We first had a meal few years ago and was just fabulous . All tables throughout through to the door was for meals . This time !! It was full of people stood about drinking .pushed our way to our table . The food was average . Dry pastry on pie .not a homemade one . Oven chips . 1slice of thinest ham , egg . All the other meals very disappointing . Why change it . Won’t be eating there again . 😕

Good good in the heart of Windsor. Affordable Close by parking available through ringo

Had Sunday roast for 25 people, all the food came out together and was lovely. The service was also great. If I'm in the area again I would visit again for sure.

The place was very nice to have a drink at and has a nice atmosphere, but the main part was the food it was very dry and lacked taste . It was also expensive as they would make you pay for parts of the mean like the chicken . Dont suggest going for food but just for a nice drink with your mates

Booked here after a day at Legoland. Food was great and the service was brilliant. Prices were very reasonable. What more can you ask for. Oh yes the amazing castle view. Highly recommended. Nachos were hands down best we have tasted.
