The Herschel Arms in Slough

Came to Slough from Devon found this gem of a pub. From the second we walked through the doors Tom (landlord) was welcoming, hilariously funny and generous. We will definitely make an effort to come to the pub again this year and hopefully have a chance to listen to the Irish music Tom has arranged.

Had a fantastic night out here. Really great traditional local pub. Great warm feeling inside. Landlord is a class act

Nach einem harten Arbeitstag waren wir hier und erlebten eine tolle Atmosphäre. Der Chef empfing uns mit offenen Armen, es war 100% authentisch. Es gab Live-Musik und einfach nur gute Laune. Da gehen wir sicher wieder hin.

Went there recently when i was in Slough for the day to see football. Looked this place up for a decent pub that isnt gimmicky, and does what it says on the tin. Had some lovely bottled beers at sensible prices and the landlord Tom is a great guy who made and gave me a delicious stew whilst i was there. Great pub with nice freindly locals, will be back again.

Visited here whilst on business, and not knowing the area, found this through good reviews. Nice few pints of IPA, and a G&T...free nicely seasoned chips given to us, as the full menu was not on at the time. We sat outside in the covered garden with water features etc., nice ambience! Landlord friendly.

With the beautiful weather this weekend we saw this place had an outside area so with our 1yr old and 14yr old decided to try it and as others have said what a cracking hidden gem it is! Tom the landlord was so accommodating with us having a baby (which always makes things easier) and brought out sweets for the oldest and some sausage and chips. It really made our night & our pint to wash it down was a lovely one! After sightseeing all day on the Saturday we were really gutted we didn’t have the time to pop in again that night. If we are back in Slough again we will be heading straight here for some lovely hospitality with a great atmosphere. Thank you all!

Nos lo recomendaron en el hotel y estuvo realmente bien, buen ambiente, buen servicio y buena cerveza. No se admiten niños después de las 7, así que papis, tened cuidado.

What a pleasant surprise! Been coming to slough to stay through business for years and always got the train to Windsor for a nice evening. Then.... stumbled cross one of the best little bars we have been too! So friendly, owner gives you bar snacks, like home made chips during the day and cheese, grapes and biscuits on an evening. Best pub by far in the south !

Cracking atmosphere, great music, good beer and superb free food. What an excellent find. Will be back.

Stumbled across this great little pub just off the beaten track in Slough. Super friendly bar staff, was provided with a warm welcome! No frills old school pub with a good beer selection and good choice of spirits including a few interesting items. I’ll definitely come again!

This is a great traditional Irish pub. We had a family Wake here one afternoon. Very reasonable prices. The landlord did a fantastic job on the food. Good quality and friendly service. Would definitely recommend for a family/friends gathering/event.Good pint too!

Great pub, popular with locals but very welcoming to visitors. No wonder, there is such a great selection of whiskys and gins! Tom, the owner, shared some fascinating stories with us... we felt sorry to leave but will be back!

A really nice local pub near where a friend of mine lives. Decent friendly service and very reasonably priced drinks with a happy landlord. I would not let the outside put you off as from the street it does not look up to much but it is well presented inside and kept both clean and tidy, The locals are friendly and there is a nice atmosphere inside. Basically miles better than you may think from the road. A proper gem.

The bar staff here are wonderful. There is an extensive range of gin, as well as every other kind of drink. With a wonderful smoking area, this is one of my favourite bars. The wifi doesn't reach outside which is a shame. We had the steak dinner, and it was absolutely gorgeous. Music on a Thursday night was top class.

I would love to keep this place A secret. It is the best bar ever, the landlord, Tom, is fantastic. If you are in Slough you should come here. Don't ask questions, just come here for food and drink.

I went in here most evenings last week whilst I was staying in Slough. It was a recommendation from a colleague.
