The Horse and Groom in Windsor and Maidenhead

I came to the pub for a beer. It was a stout, don’t remember the name of it, but it tasted awful. Couldn’t finished. This was about 8pm and there were just a couple in there when I arrived. The person who worked there seamed a bit stressed for some reason, walking around having private conversations on the phone. It was just not very welcoming and not a good atmosphere.

Fantastic fish and chips. The batter was crispy and the cod very tasty. The staff was very friendly. Wonderful choice after our tour of the Windsor castle. We would definitely go back.

We've been here many times before. Service is excellent. Food is wonderful. Parking is patchy. Lovely garden. Highly recommended.

Stopped here on Saturday for a spot of lunch during a visit to the castle, nice location but I have to say our Ploughman’s lunch choice was very poor. Everything was out of a tin, the couple of pickles, some gherkin, one slice of packet ham , so thin it was transparent, and tasteless. For over fifteen pounds a person it was very very poor value for money, my advice don’t go for it, avoid , it’s a rip off!!!

A great location outside the Castle. We visited at lunchtime for drinks and sat outside. The order of 2 pints and 2 soft drinks seemed to overly confuse the bar staff which let down the visit. Not sure what happens when it gets busy......

This historical pub provides a delicious selection of sandwiches served on homemade baguettes. The perfect lunch after watching the changing of the guards. Also outside seating is available.

Big family lunch with buffet food - excellent food, and great service. Gave us a room that was not totally separate which meant being a nice part of the pubs atmosphere and good for the bar.

Lovely old fashioned pub, had a beautiful pale ale that i would love the name of. Lovely staff, very busy, not too busy to smile though...just one toilet though....albeit i understand why.

Nice pub across from castle entrance. Busy during the day but at night after the crowds go home it is a nice intimate pub that gets quiet. Chips and the burger were good. My fish and chips was very good.

We always enjoy coming to this cosy pub on our visits to Windsor, and today was no exception!We had a nice friendly welcome, and the staff were very helpful with explaining what a ‘substantial’ meal would be to accompany our drinks - in line with government restrictions at the time of writing.We really loved the carrot soup of the day - a real winter warmer on what was a chilly december day.We also really enjoyed our big chunky tuna sandwiches and tasty salads too - all at a very reasonable price from what was a great menu.The atmosphere was cosy and quiet, with a big log fire in the other bar - and we loved all the christmas decs.Well done whoever chose the music too - it was mainly classic rock music, on at a low volume, and really added to the enjoyment of our visit. It’s great when establishments get this small (but important) thing right.We really enjoyed our visit, and it was great to come back this real jewel in Windsor’s crown - literally on the doorstep of the castle - back open. If you’ve never been, come and see for yourself!

Traditional pub food great service polite staff and a great view of the castle if you sit outside. Not enough pubs like this around anymore

Looks like I managed to find worst fish n chips in Windsor, OMG not even real chips at £15 a plate shameful. Something wrong with all these good reviews on here as what I received was unacceptable

Llamado para el almuerzo del domingo porque deseamos tener una cena tradicional asada. Que decepcion. La redada del domingo consistió en 4 patatas asadas congeladas bañadas en aceite de viruta. Una chirivía congelada quemada también sumergida en aceite de viruta. Una cucharada de verduras congeladas, una compra de pudín de Yorkshire y dos lonchas de ternera. Muy poca salsa sobre la carne, y flotando en medio de la salsa había un pequeño vaso de plástico de salsa horsersich. No siempre se ofrecía salsa de Addie, nadie asistía a la mesa para ver si se disfrutaba la comida. Me pregunto por qué aceptaron el pago de la comida antes de que nos sirvieran, ahora sé que la mayoría pediría un reembolso. Comida proporcionada, coge el dinero y escóndete. No visite el esfuerzo vergonzoso de un asado dominical

Lovely bar and service with good quality ales and food. Good COVID-19 controls in place. Spent the afternoon with the wife in the bar during a torrential downpour. Excellent pint of Barn Owl!

Great service, well looked after by the waiter/barman, food was tasty too, and a great view of the castle whilst eating 😁

Así que se terminó el encierro, pero no se nos permitió salir a correr.El viaje anual que hacemos es Sandown, Ascot, Newbury y Windsor con base en Windsor.The Horse and Groom es nuestro pub preferido antes y después de las carreras. Esto se debe principalmente a la elección de las cervezas.En estos tiempos actuales, sin embargo, las cosas son diferentes.Desde el momento en que te adentras en este clima actual es obvio que la higiene y el distanciamiento social es primordial. Una estación de desinfectante de manos en la puerta donde el personal alienta a las personas a lavarse las manos de manera amistosa. Está en funcionamiento un sistema unidireccional para llevarte a las mesas socialmente distanciadas. Luego, el personal se lanza para obtener los detalles de contacto en caso de que sean necesarios.De todos modos a la revisión real. La selección de cerveza se redujo, pero el guardia dio en el clavo. El personal del bar, como siempre, fue genial, incluso tuve mi mesa habitual el día 3. La carne en la cena del domingo fue increíble. Gran lugar y ya tengo ganas de la visita del próximo año.

Great customer service. Fast and efficient, excellent food and drink. Highly recommend. Pleasant atmosphere and very clean and presentable

Rang to prearrange my wife’s food as she has a salicylate allergy and wanted to make sure they would be able to cater for her. The lady on the phone said mention that you have spoken to me anar it shouldn’t be a problem. On arrival we mentioned it to the bar manager and he said that he had briefed the kitchen earlier so we were happy. When the food came my wifes mushroom and cheese omelette was really good and filling and my chicken and mushroom pie was amazing. Would definitely recommend going back

Called in here for a drink a passerby recommended the food so we opted for lunch which was really tasty , the staff were really friendly and extremely welcoming , would definitely recommend this place , and the bonus is it overlooks the castle

Visited one lunchtime , the choice of Sandwiches, snacks, real ale etc was great. due to the size of the bar you get a really good atmosphere. The food was good , but you have to read the cartoons in the toilets, very apt based on the area you are visiting. A Dog Friendly Pub where dogs are made welcome

only came in to meet a friend. The guy at the bar was friendly and quick in serving. A quirky olde worlde pub with vintage horse racing murals. Even has the Queen as the entrance to the ladies loo!!

We just loved this pub. Firstly, it's it's location, right opposite the castle. Secondly, it's dog friendly. Last but not least the staff! They were all really friendly and helpful.The atmposphere in the pub was lovely, a really old traditional pub, just brilliant!We didn't eat there but the food which was coming out looked good. Will definately be back!

Lovely location, nice traditional English food and good variety of ales beers and all other drinks. Prices very reasonable for the location.

We used this pub 3 times over a couple of days.Really nice friendly pub with a nice atmosphere, all the staff we saw were very friendly and helpful. 3 of us had food in there, sausage and mash, beef and onion baguette and shepherds pie,, all the food was really nice, this pub is deffetnetly was a visit if your in Windsor and its 2 minutes from the castle,,

This is a lovely pub and is really cosy. Stayed here for a couple of drinks only but food looked nice. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

Great location. After a day of sightseeing lovely to relax by the open fire with a beer from the local brewery. Great view of the castle at night too!

We entered inside this nice pub to have dinner as we saw from the menù outside that there was a vegan option.Once we seated we discovered that they have a FULL vegan menù at the tables and we couldn’t be happier.We had a Moving mountains burger which was DELICIOUS and a cauliflower roulade.Delicious too but maybe the roulade portion was a tiny bit small for the price.We tried the chocolate and salted caramel vegan cake too (sooo yummy !But 5£, again, it’s a bit too much for the portion).The guys at the bar were lovely and very polite, service was fast and we loved the nice real fireplace next to us.Location is 10/10 as next to the castle.Had an half pint of a typical Windsor beer and I loved it!Very recommended!

On a chilly winter day this traditional pib offers you a cozy atmosphere witj a fantastic view: Windsor Castle. Besides, the food is delicious and the beer warms you up. If you also have " to soend a penny", the toilet walls are covered with colorful pics of both celebrities and commoners...on special occasions.

Lovely cosy traditional pub, lots of history , serving food and drinks in a very welcoming atmosphere

Wish I could remember the pint of ale I had but I long to return ! Great old pub to shelter in from the cold and miserable February weather.

Tasty pub food at 300 year old pub. The pub is also conveniently located across from the exit of Windsor Castle.

This Historic pub is located facing Windsor Castle. Small, cosy and full of character. Delicious food - we loved the fish and chips and the mushroom risotto. Very friendly staff, too. Watch your head, whilst entering the pub!

Well where do I start. Firstly the pub it’s self is so dark and grungy it can be easily missed. Then once in bartender “Micheal” took his time to greet us with even so much as a smile. Asked him about the beer and the selection is average at best. (Nothing on the corner house or the Charlotte) table was wobbly, almost lost my pint in the earthquake of sitting down. Food was too filling and tasty and the portions where clearly made for bigger men then I and my partner..... if you have gotten this far then you will see that I’m just being sarcastic. This is of course one of the nicest pubs in Windsor with a beautiful setting and well trained polite staff food was great. Beer was great. Micheal is a diamond. All the beat to the place. Stay beautiful ✌

What a wonderful little pub. 300 years old and beautiful with lots of charm. Great menu with lots of choices. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Loved it.

I have known this place over many years, visiting for a drink and occasionally to eat, decided finally to write a review. Crowded when we arrived, so as we were eating, we were directed upstairs to a restaurant area, seating for around 16 people. Great range of local beers, a proper pub atmosphere, good menu, not extensive but OK for a small place. Only let down, seasonal vegetables in my book does not mean tinned carrots. Would have graded good otherwise. Value, in line with it's location, tourist hot spot in the center of town, overlooking the castle.

We stopped off for a drink while walking around the town. The barmaid was very friendly. The drinks were served nicely. We did not eat there as we had already eaten in the chippy down the road but the food looked nice.

After wandering around Windsor, we just stopped to have a drink at The Horse and the Groom. We got some warming mulled wine!) and were pleased to find seating, a cosy atmosphere and friendly service. We didn't eat anything, but the food looked and smelled really good.

This is a fantastic little old English pub! Steeped in history and straight opposite Windsor castle! Lovely and cosy! I think it was Amy that served us she was a darling!!

Loved this little pub. Nothing pretentious. Just an old fashioned place that sells drinks. Must go here when you visit for a pint.

This place has good food, relaxed atmosphere, and a really awesome and friendly staff. I highly recommend this place. I had the bangers and mash. It was excellent. Also tried mulled wine for the first time. Like Christmas in a cup. Definitely would come again.

We visited this little pub for a quick drink and ended up having two!

Great traditional pub across the road from Windsor castle so good to tourist watch everybody congregating around the castle hoping to see The Queen. Very friendly service. Fab toilets.

We stopped in for a bite after touring the castle on a cold rainy day. There was a warm fireplace and a welcoming cozy atmosphere. The mulled wine was delicious, the people were friendly and the food came quickly and was fresh, warm and tasty. It was a great and convenient pit stop on our Windsor side trip from London.

Pub de 300 años que ha quedado anticuado pero en el buen sentido. El tema es las carreras y hay recuerdos en abundancia pero exagerados. Me encantó el piso de madera y el fuego real! La comida es básica pero casera, sabrosa, caliente y abundante. Un buen número de cervezas en la bomba. El personal es muy amable y servicial.

Small traditional pub just in front of the Windsor castle. Cosy, good food, perfect beer and friendly staff. Would love to return.

Had a well deserved rest after sightseeing. Very small pub. Welcoming with a lovely log fire going on a cold autumn day. Nice lady behind the bar, friendly. Worth a visit.

Tuve que pedir en el bar, no hay servicio de mesa, muy sorprendente. . comida (bistec y pastel de cerveza) simplemente promedio. . . La chica que trajo la comida a la mesa tenía una actitud. . . podría ser un gran lugar si no fuera por el servicio. . y si este lugar estuviera ubicado en cualquier otro lugar de la ciudad, estaría vacío. .

Had a quick meal after visiting Windsor Castle. The fish and chips was a good and very large meal. Very attentive service.

Traditional food, beautiful English pub, as a foreigner would expect to try !!! Very nice location. They even have a kids menu with smaller portion.

Spent a cold wet sunday afternoon in here after the Windsor 1/2 marathon. friends had lunch which they said was fab. Beer was great and freindly staff with an amazing outlook of windsor castle

Tous les pubs se ressemblent et celui là n’est pas très different des autres pubs de Windsor,il est juste en face du château.

Unfortunately my gluten free meal must have had gluten in it, as I suffered afterwards. Never good when traveling . Nice enough pub, and the other meals seemed ok.

The three of us went for lunch. Downstairs was busy but upstairs was empty. I understand that doing the same job day after day can get boring but you can't let that affect your attitude towards the people who are paying your wages albeit indirectly. With that being said we found the staff indifferent which was a pity considering there is so much competition for your business.

So the location screams tourist trap. Right across the street from Windsor Castle. However, it really was pretty good.

Well, I havent been to this pub for some time but totally in awe of how good it is now. It has been decorated throughout but lost none of its traditional character. Oak beams galore and the most perfect location opposite the castle. The staff were really friendly and I had the cod and chips which was about as good as you can get. White fluffy cod with a crisp batter. To top it all it is dog friendly and they had doggie nibbles for my furry friend. Whoever the owners are should be proud of this hostelry, its a credit to them and their staff. Attention to detail is always so important and they it in abundance.

Nice selection of beers on tap and good food. We ordered the chicken & mushroom pie with chips. Great flavor, and we love how large the chips are! Definitely recommend. The table next to us ordered fish & chips, and the fish portion was huge!

Beim diesjährigen Windsor-Kurzbesuch entschieden wir uns - gegenüber dem Schloss stehend - für einen Tradtionel Ploughman mit Bier zum Lunch in diesem Pub. Wir wurden ordentlich bedient, und es schmeckte wie erwartet. Der Laden ist schon sehr alt und britisch, und uns gefiel es dort recht gut.

Called in the evening for a meal and drinks as pub situated in nice position by castle. Went to order at bar, only to be told by the barman that he was 16 on his 2nd shift and he’d locked the till. He called an associate who was unable to rectify, then called the landlord/lady to come and sort.

This pub is well situated close to the castle and has a lot of history and is not to large so very cosy with a great range of ales. However, the lunch was disappointing. The children’s burger was over cooked, the leek and potato soup was bland and the coronation chicken sandwich was unrecognisable as chicken!

Very nice lunch in a quaint English pub. Atmosphere was typical British: low ceilings. Dark wood. Nice area w/umbrellas to eat outside. Fish & chips and the chicken baguette were very tasty

had lunch here on saturday of the bank holiday the chips were gorgeous and i had a lovely ham sandwich with lovely crusty bread service was very good and the staff were lovely behind the bar def recommend here

This cozy and historic pub is superbly positioned next to Windsor Castle and exudes olde worlde charm in an unpretentious British way. There is a horse theme with memorabilia and amusing little signs throughout. Staff are friendly and given its prime location, prices were very reasonable. There is outside seating in ye olde cobbled street and indoors offered a homely and relaxing experience. Highly recommended.

After taking a nap after enduring our transatlantic flight we thought this would be a good place to get a bite to eat and an ale for dinner. Its footprint is small but there are tables upstairs and we found one next to the window overlooking the castle. It was a great place to begin our holiday. We ordered our food and beer at the bar downstairs. The service was efficient. I ordered the fish and chips and was brought one very large filet served on a bed of fries. It was above average. My wife had a meat pie which was average. Several ales were available on tap. Although the upstairs stayed empty the downstairs area was pretty busy with people meeting after work.

Was there with my parents. We had the fish and chips, steak and ale pie and bangers and mash. All very good

Food fine, staff rude and kitchen closed at 8pm in the middle of our meal so unable to get dessert. Would not recommend, service rubbish. Room overlooking the castle - yes but that’s about as good as it got. Birthday meal ruined. Not worth the money - avoid at all costs.

Great little pub, with nice “british menu’ serving good beer in a place full of character and history

Excellent food, great location, helpful staff. Small, quaint, classic Tudor-feel pub with great selection of beers and food. Go up to the 2nd floor for quiet dining and great views of Windsor Castle across the street.

Visiting from New Zealand with some friends and had lunch here before heading to Windsor castle. The service was good, the food was really nice and served pretty efficiently! Our friends are Vegan and there were quite a few options available for them to order too.

Friendly and cheerful staff, Pimms freshly made by the generous glass or jug and great food menu all very fairly priced. We had the sharing platter for £16 ...delicious! All enjoyed yards from the castle walls .... lovely not to be ripped off. Highly recommend a visit

Si potrebbe pensare che data l'ottima posizione (proprio davanti al castello) i prezzi siano superiori alla norma (cosa peraltro normalissima da noi) invece proprio no. L'offerta è assolutamente in linea con quella degli altri locali, pound più pound meno. Abbiamo preso fish & chips e una pie (tipical pub food), buoni ma non eccellenti. Servizio veloce. Promossi.

Very nice place to spend time with friends! Great beer and food! Good location near by Windsor Castle!

very poor fish still had skin inside batter chips tasteless and cold won't be back here staff very cold also

Salimos de un encantador viaje en barco por el río a la hora del almuerzo y caminamos hasta el castillo. Este pub es genial con mesas dentro y fuera, las opciones de comida y bebida son amplias. El servicio fue excelente y muy amable. La comida era increíble, vale la pena una visita.

We enjoyed a pint and a pie. The pub was not busy so we were able to read every sign and laugh out loud at the dry humor.

Went there for lunch after visiting Windsor castle. The food was good. It was a Sunday so we had the chance to try their Sunday roast beef. Enjoyed the Yorkshire pudding but felt that the beef was a little bit dry. Maybe it was the cut of meat used. Overall, I preferred their pies and fish and chips. The steak and ale pie washed down with a pint of beer is just perfect! The place is not very big but it’s still comfortable.

Popped in for a pint and just loved the atmosphere. The Horse and Groom was packed which reflects the quality of service offered. Well worth a visit.

pub anglais typique , bon accueil , juste en face du château

Great food. Small place with 300 year history. Excellent place to eat. We don't drink but the pub looked well stocked

Locale splendido nella sua tipicità , birra galattica, fish and chips pazzesco , panini ottimi e veloci a servire. Contorno incredibile visto che si è di fronte al castello . Tappa obbligatoria

Fuimos allí para las bebidas. ¡Qué lugar tan inusual y antiguo, que domina el palacio de sus vecinos! Tiene un buen ambiente, decoración y recuerdos en el bar. El personal era amable e incluso los lugareños. Sin duda volvería allí cuando esté en Windosr.

Antes de ir al castillo nos detuvimos a comer algo y tomar una copa, y fue una buena idea.

right opposite the castle great freindly staff a busy little pub with great history big portions of great food

Did not feel welcomed when I walked in. Looked at the bartenders laugh at us because we didn’t know we had to order at the bar and get our own menus. You would think for it being in a tourist location they would be a bit more friendly and up front on instructions. Figured it was a local bar by the act of them. Also their beer was very warm even though it was draft... Will never return, went down the street to a different pub and had whole different experience. Visit The Two Brewers instead!

First of all I want to compliment Danny and Michael who looked after us. We dined in their upstairs lounge. Having to go up some dodgy stairs we were all worried about going down but the boys came up and down with no problem - serving us drinks and our meal.

staff were all friend and helpful especially Eliie. Food was delish and very reasonably priced considering where it is. We had a lovely time there

We enjoyed our time in there, the food and atmosphere is great. Mihai is the best barman ever!! Me and my friend really enjoy the evening in here!!!

A great meeting point venue- good selection of ales . Visited in March on a Friday evening- seating easy to get. Visited in the summer as you would expect a different story- there is outside seating in the lane outside - for a drink close to the Monarch’s home this cannot be beaten

I am a huge fan of this pub and always try to include it on a night out. Unfortunately on this occasion however we were met with rude service and a very public dressing down by a member of staff.

Came to Windsor for a conference so had time to spare on the night-time. This has got to be by far the best pub in Windsor. Although small, this only enhanced the atmosphere generated by the clientele. Beer and food prices were reasonable ( for Windsor/ Eton) and staff (singular) was very friendly.

After we’ve visited the castle we’ve searched for a pub to eat and we’ve decided to go to this one because from the outside was very nice and it was close to the castle as well.The pub looks very nice inside,the location is great the beer fantastic but the food it’s not the best.I still recommend.

What a gorgeous old pub. After exploring Windsor Castle, we had lunch in the upstairs dining room. I wanted something hot and simple - Broccoli & Stilton soup with a side of chips - Perfect !

We arrived in Windsor and looked for somewhere to eat, we found this traditional looking pub and were greeted straight away, we went upstairs which was past the bar and entered a lovely looking petite upstairs room which was decorated nicely, lots of horse riding memorabilia and amazing views of the castle which I have put below.

Popped in here on a wet December night for a drink and something to eat. Nice selection of craft beers, and usual pub food. Had the Steak and Ale pie and breaded Brie Otter Bitter went down smoothly

First visit here for a sandwich and drink and we found it to be very comfortable and welcoming.

Great range of real ales, guy on the bar really knew his stuff, and happy to give tasters before deciding

Location right opposite King Henry V111 gate fabulous. Hendricks with cucumber hit the spot. Mulled wine on offer, multiple table varieties in this little friendly bar. Ladies loos stunning, fun photos of Ascot and pristine.

We stopped off here on a Sunday night for a nightcap. Great little pub with very friendly bar staff, i didn’t get the guys name but he was Portuguese and very funny! Quirky place with a horse saddle as a bar stall very unique!

Sorprendentemente mal servicio. Personal grosero e irrespetuoso. Evitar si puedes - pedimos bebidas y consiguieron uno mal. Cuando señalamos esto, nos dijeron que NOSOTROS como cliente estábamos equivocados. Cuando discutimos esto, nos dijeron que nos fuéramos. Salté la mierda de un manager! !

Went in for a burger, but ordered the Sunday roast when I saw it go to another table. Great service, beer, and the food was very good especially on a cold day.

In deze pub heerst een leuke sfeer, drankje bestellen aan de toog en een plekje uitzoeken. Wij zaten vooraan met zicht op het kasteel. Lekker gegeten en gedronken. Super vriendelijke bediening.
