The King and Castle in Windsor and Maidenhead

Kicking customers out of beer garden an hour before closing time

Poshest spoons I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. We had a fantastic view of the castle. The food menu was better than average spoons, offering rib eye steak.

Nice food and cheap drinks what more can you ask for with a lovely view of the castle

A lovely location. We sat upstairs in a booth with the castle outside the window. Service was a little slower than at most Spoons. Same great food quality and drink as usual.

Great venue. Wonderful food. Lovely staff.

It's a wetherspoons. Food is good and a great selection of beers and spirits.

A slightly more limited menu than usual but service and food are a cut above the rest. Very impressed

Great pub, close to the castle, very efficient staff

An appreciable amount of outdoor space out the back, that many people don't know about. Usual Spoons value and a good range of beers in a rather expensive location for other pubs.

Place is beautiful went for a dinner on a work stop over. Food cooked nicely unfortunately missing bits of food from what adventised to what was delivered.

Nicely done out inside with a great view of Windsor castle. The food an ale were great.

1st visit was great and speedy service and food but 2nd visit was for breakfast and waited ages and then had to go up and adj for eggs that were being well done as his breakfast nearly finished ...

A typical JDW in a grand building opposite Windsor castle and usually pretty busy. Good service and everything as you'd expect in a W pub.

İt wasn’t very busy maybe that mase different but overall service, food and atmosphere was good.

Wonderful atmosphere, the staff really friendly, location is amazing, basically it's opposite the castle, you can see it from the window. Food was great as always, regarding prices and portions. Definitely we will come back. Thank you! Kind regards, Andreea.

Place was rammed in all 4 or 5 floors. That did not interfere with an enjoyable drink and lunch. Service was good. Value excellent. Worth a visit.

The worst Wetherspoons I have been to. Whilst it started with an odd tasting Pepsi max it got worse as they forgot the onion rings and bbq sauce for the chicken burger, then forgot to bring back a fresh Pepsi max and ended with a rock solid garlic naan and poppadoms soaked in oil. I appreciate that it was a Saturday evening and the place was packed, however, this was shoddy service and some of the food was inedible.

Avoid this place. We went there one afternoon at 4pm during half term before we went to our local hotel. We ordered some drinks and found a good seat. The Manager rudely came over to us and said we had to order main meals if you want to stay and said you can’t sit here “necking bottles of wine”. She said “ I will give you 5 minutes to order food on the app or give you a refund for your drinks”. She came back 5 minutes later we said we want a refund and she said “ Im not giving you a refund now”. We were so shocked we left with an open bottle of wine walking down the high street. It was so disgusting for a Manager to speak to us like that in front of child. I complained to Wetherspoons and they said that you have to purchase a main meal if you are with anyone under 18 yr old. Wetherspoons ~ you should let customers know before they purchase drinks that a main meal must also be purchased. You took our money for the drinks but had no sign up or no mention of having to purchase meals. I also reported it to the tourism authority as it was such a horrible experience. If pubs don’t want tourists then tell us but don’t treat us like absolute trash.

Good location for a wetherspoons, right outside the castle. Usual WiFi etc. Used the app to order with no issues.

It's a local pub for me. Great hard working staff and good food for the price. If in Windsor I would recommend this pub.

I tried the Tuesday steak deal and was not impressed. Yes it is a weatherspoon but the food was bad. Chewy and burnt onion rings. Stick to other items on the menu. That being said the service was great and staff very nice.

Convenient place for a quick stop in Windsor. Standard weatherspoon place. The food as usual, simple things not complicated. Food plus beer just for one pound more is great. The plates could be a little better presented, but the concept is keep it simple

I ordered a burger. It was well done. I ordered cheddar cheese on my burger. They threw both types of cheese on and neither of them got melted. The waitress didn't offer condiments for my table. It was packed but the atmosphere was comfortable.

Great spot right next to Windsor Castle. Did not have food there but it's a Spoons so should be standard.

Typical whetherspoons great value, busy & keen prices. Good range of Ales & usual extensive menu

Quite a nice building. I think the staff could brush up on general hospitality skills.

Nice pub....very friendly and helpful staff. They welcome people with disabilities, and do a great job altogether.

Excellent breakfast, service and view

Nice pub with plenty of indoor and outdoor space to enjoy

Across the road from Windsor castle Multi levelled 10 mins walk from a multi store car park Most surprisingly decently cheap considering the location

Directly outside the castle. Great for a quick drink or nibble, but plenty of decent bars and restaurants if looking for something nice.

The staff who served us were really nice, the atmosphere is good but at times very busy and it's hard to find a place to sit. Food wise, small portions, and the pizza that we had was so thin, on the colder side and a bit chewy. It wasn't that great. Felt like it was microwaved from frozen.. it looked like a thin cardboard with some salsa and cheese lol. The Mediterranean salad was everything but Mediterranean.. I've been here a few years back but I don't recall this kind of food.. For drinks, sure but I don't think I'll come again for food, however, the food and drink was about £10 per person so it was on the cheap side, maybe that's why.

We turned up to celebrate a friends 50th birthday and were not allowed in. We spoke to Andrew the manager and he still refused us entry. Will not be returning ever. I am disgusted and it has spoilt our night

Maybe because we got there early in the morning, we had a very good experience. The breakfast was hot and plentiful, and the service was excellent. We also went back in after going around Winsor Castle for a drink in the afternoon, and the service was still friendly and helpful.

Wetherspoons pub ideal position opposite the castle and close to river. Can be very busy but is very spacious. On several levels so plenty of room including lots outdoors when the weather is good. However a fair few stairs to navigate unless remaining at street level bar.

Great building, amazing location, cheapest drinks in Windsor. Standard spoons food ok but cheap.

Does what it says on the tin, great selection of reasonably priced drinks, all set in a lovely old building.

They refused to accept my partners and I valid foreign IDs (Norway and Mexico) and deemed them as “not valid under their policy”. I’ve never experienced this in any other pub, club, or restaurant. After some back and forth, they decided to also have a look at our student IDs and somehow then decided that our other IDs were valid and offered us service; thereby violating their own made-up policy in the process. This was just an excuse to be xenophobic and exclusionary, especially since Windsor—being the tourist-ridden town it is as well as its proximity to the international environments of neighbouring universities—has plenty of people presenting their international IDs. Must also mention how not taking out IDs was also done in a rather rude fashion, completely ignoring the principles of customer service and bordering plain racial discrimination. Disgustingly rude staff.

Typical spoons. Always know what you're getting. This one is better. Nice big open areas. Nice service.

Food was pretty good, limited menu compared to other "spoons" and though the quantity and quality were good, the food went cold a bit quick.

Friendly and accessible but crowded.

I be there the first time , when i visit my brother in law. Everything ,the food ,drinks and the Service, everything just PERFECT !!!

I’ve just been to king and castle to meet friends from work before we go to our Christmas do for work and the women behind the bar refused service saying we had enough. It’s 6:30, I’m 48 yrs of age and I had just walked through the door. I would not recommend this bar to anyone ever. I will now tell everyone I know. We could even get a non alcoholic drink. Awful service

Great place to eat, you will not be disappointed

A very busy ‘spoons with a decent selection of beers and mixed service. Overall a typical experience in a nice building in a nice town. Food not great though (had steak, nachos, chicken wings, pasta and steak & kidney pudding).

Excellent value for the location. Sat upstairs with a view of the castle. Decent, no frills food. 3 meals, including drinks, £27.

Great atmosphere, we got a table near the window so we had a cool view of Windsor castle. Friendly staff, good options for vegans🩷

We spent 6.5 hrs in here on Sunday, my friend who is disabled had the light turned out on him in the toilets by a member of staff. After this they refused to serve us despite everyone be in good spirits. Poor show,

Not recommended for tourists. If a place isn't pet-friendly, they should at least put up a sign at the entrance. It's really not on to turn customers away without warning after ordering.

Typical JD. It's massive inside and it was fairly busy all evening. Nothing to write about the place really. You know what to expect.

The place is really nice but the steak is bleah! Really bad. Very unhappy!

A Wetherspoons pub that I've been to on many occasions over the years. Situated on the hill of Thames St, just outside Windsor Castle. This is a large traditional pub based on three floors, bars situated on the main and lower levels, with a good sized pub garden at the rear of the building. A bit more expensive than neighbouring Wetherpoon's branches, such as Slough, however still cheaper to eat and drink than many other places in Windsor. The food quality is consistently good, on the number of times I've eaten here, with good portions too. Effort is definitely made here producing the standard Wetherspoons menu. On this occasion, popped in for a Sticky Korean Chicken Bowl and a pint of Leffe Blonde. Total was £11.25. I've had this dish numerous times elsewhere, and have to say it was one of the best I've had. Worth a visit for budget friendly food and drinks in Windsor.

Dirty table and coffee mugs, coffee machines were half empty and we waited a long time for our food. The view of the castle is great but not the best culinary experience.

Normal Wetherspoons pedigree. What more is there to say!

Wandered in after a Windsor castle visit, on our stay in July. We had a table in the beer garden, which was great. Our group had both the sirloin & rib-eye steaks, as well as the fish and chips. Couldn't fault any of them. My daughter commented it was the best steak she'd ever had! Great prices too. Knocked back a couple of pints as well. Highly recommended!

Utterly gutted, for future reference you absolutely cannot sing Chester Hawkes in this spoons, apparently the bouncer takes offence… I’ll take this outside to the pavement! Me and my tiny karaoke are super sad!! What happened to the festive spirit Mr Spoonskringle 🎄

Awful! The food was half cold, there were long queues, people everywhere and nowhere to sit! We went home shortly after. There is barely any parking space aswell.

NOTE! If you are homosexual I would NOT advise going to this place. The staff (female blonde age 60+) actively followed myself and my partner into the bathroom where they demanded us to leave and then continued to intimidatingly follow us down the stairs until we felt so uncomfortable that we had to leave. Definitely not an inclusive or friendly place. Extremely disappointing and upsetting.

Just had a great Christmas lunch and a pint. Amazing value and tasty food. Service was fast and friendly.

Superb place lovely food great service & really good price, when I'm in town I will come hear again. Highly recommend

Great end to our night, good pub and good atmosphere. Everybody was really friendly.

Enjoyed it , and the food was good. The place was very nice clean, & as expected very good price

Very busy on all floors. Good atmosphere.

It's a bad time to be white folks. The management here have the pitchforks raised. Just be aware that many foreigners have a heightened sense that we are white and can't stand up to them because of this. I had a drink snatched from my hand, pushed an shoved by two Indians who refused white Romany have Indian heritage. I won't apologise that on my father's side that is the case. Outraged and disgusted is an understatement. There is no common ground to be found and you are trash in their eyes and to be treated as such. The only reason I'm not involving the police is that I believe the manager will rack up more charged in future.

Egg never is served at top of the meat... I see these very typical in Wetherspoon. Bread prices are ridiculous, and I'm not sure why they call bread to a toast 2£ 1 toast when 1 packet is cost 60£. Peter corn sauce sells as a gold, very small ramakin with pepper sauce just to dirty the plate. I think for the price, the suld put minimum double quantity.

Good Morning Visited K&C on Monday and after a lovely English Breakfast and a pint came over a bit faint. The K&C staff and in particular Jay were simply wonderful going the extra mile to ensure my comfort and safety and reassuring my wife Well Done K&C Thank you Jay

Imposing all wood, nice veranda

Ordered grilled chicken. The bottom part of it was so hard that even with a frantic sawing motion with my knife i could not get through it. I complained but it seems that my complaint fell on deaf ears. I must add that my two companians were pleased with their meals. So maybe i was just unfortunate.

Popped in for lunch they were advertising xmas turkey dinner...looked like circled luncheon meat although turkey the whole dinners were awfull dont order it the quality is zero !!!

Great family friendly meal in Windsor. Great table upstairs overlooking the castle, venue was lovely and cosy (maybe slightly too dark at our venue). Food was enjoyed by all and was excellent value for money during our holiday.

Always thought this place was great value for money but they now serve short measures on some beers. The Leffe glasses are only a full measure if filled to the brim( states it in the glass). However, the bar staff refused to top them up to the brim.

Just had drinks with friends after years

I am not a great fan of Wetherspoons in general, but there are exceptions and The King and Castle is certainly one of them. We arrived in Windsor following a nine hour flight in desperate need of food and a drink. A mixed grill for me and a curry for my companion washed down by a decent keg beer fulfilled that need. The food was well cooked and presented. A member of staff went above and beyond his call of duty in order to ensure everything was satisfactory despite the pub being extremely busy. Other JD Wetherspoons would do well to follow this outstanding example.

Christmas menu started yesterday, went for the turkey panini 5* A couple of pints, service great. Went downstairs in the pub , really relaxed. Lovely meal/helpful at the bar/ lovely chips !- recommended.

This was our second time in Windsor! This time was in May. Love this restaurant, best view on Castle.

One of the best spoons I've been too and the view to Windsor Castle from upstairs was incredible!

Really nice boozer in a superb location, staff are friendly and efficient.

Came here for supper between a duck tour and comedy night. The food was excellent as were the staff in providing it, but the WiFi reception in the area with the majority of power sockets is absolutely appalling. I had to waste over an hour there waiting for my devices to charge up before I had to relocate to an area without sockets but decent Internet before I could order.

Let’s be real you get what you pay for if you’re with friends or family and you want a quick bite and a drink on a budget this is the place the food is fair to middling and the drinks are good value. If you’re with friends want fine dining look somewhere else

Good service, decent food for the money. Buzzing place

Flaming busy place regardless of which h day u visit. Find a table and enjoy same old menu wetherspoons have to offer. Food and drink for central London has best prices hard for anywhere else to best

A really good Spoons! Very big pub and in a great position opposite the castle in Windsor. Only pub open when we were there for an early lunch before midday. Good value...

After visiting the castle for a day, of course I have to take a good rest and enjoy my favorite "fish and chips"! Delicious meals and a comfortable space, this is the perfect place to enjoy a good meal after a day's travels!

I'm a big fan of Wetherspoon, but still some are good and some are bad. This one was in between. Nice location, specially upstairs looked nice. Service was good and it's a nice place to bring the family. I expected the selection of beer and cider to better, as the Wetherspoon pubs usually have a huge selection. But it was OK. The menu was excellent. I ordered the steak and kidney pie. The pie was ok, but it was served with BBQ sauce, which I don't suppose it should be served with? I actually hate BBQ sauce anyway. Rest of the family enjoyed their meals. Would I come back? Not the top of my list, but I guess I would. Wetherspoon usually do nice pizza and curries, so I would go for that next time, if I return to Windsor.

Ordered a burger and chips!!! Really nice chips were really hot and tasty!!!

Staff very pleasant beer even better

I live locally and use this spoons regularly. We came recently for lunch which was very nice. The issue I had on this occasion is that I ordered a glass of draught wine with ice. The new barman, a tall oriental man wearing glasses put 3 large chunks of ice in my glass first and then poured the wine up to the line. I pointed out to him that he had short measured the wine and that the ice should go in after. He argued with me and said it was on the line. The bar manager agreed with the barman,so, effectively I paid wine price for the ice! I also drink at the Slough spoons and the Maidenhead branch and this never happens, nor should it. I now order my wine and request the ice after it is poured. The King and Castle is definitely geared around the tourist trade and this is reflected in their inflated pricing. But come on, treat your local trade with respect and stop ripping us off!.

Been on the doorstep of Windsor Castle always busy service is prompt and food is not to bad for a Witherspoons

Excellent place to have a bite to eat with good beers

Bar staff were not friendly or welcoming. Food was good.

Not to miss for food or just a drink

Breakfast was served cold. Which means that you have to eat it quickly. So therefore missing the enjoyment. After a word with a member of staff I was given a full refund. Thank you.

Lady bartender was rude. Not coming back.

The best steak we had across other JD wetherspoons. Order medium Rare gave us Juicy medium rare pink hot steak.

It's a Whetherspoons, so you get what you would expect from the food, drinks and atmosphere - however this is the nicest Whetherspoons that I have visited. Close to Windsor castle and a good option for a bite to eat if you are visiting Windsor.

Environment and view from windows were great. Food… not so much. Bbq sauce and coleslaw given with meal clearly were sat out for a long time. Had a hard layer on the top. Overall not a great meal, compared to other spoons.

Three of us had a great lunch, including beers and cider, for a very reasonable price. Wide selection of menu items, pleasant staff, quick service, and beautiful ornate decor, with Windsor Castle right across the street. Lots of seating on 3 floors. Order at the bar and your food is brought to your numbered table. Unfortunately, I had to return to the restaurant to retrieve my forgotten backpack. Thankfully, it was safe and sound behind the bar. Much appreciated!

Lively and popular pub. Cousins from Australia enjoyed it immensely, too.
