The King and Castle in Windsor and Maidenhead

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!

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.

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.

Normal Wetherspoons pedigree. What more is there to say!

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.

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 🎄

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!

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

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.

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

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.

Imposing all wood, nice veranda

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.

Busiest bar in Windsor. Standard spoons. Great beer, location, service & cheap food.

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

Good service, decent food for the money. Buzzing place

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

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

Not to miss for food or just a drink

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

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.

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.

Considering how busy it was, the service was fast, the food very good and the pint of Windsor and Eton couldn't be improved on.

Good food at a reasonable price!!!

Disappointing service. A large pub over 4 floors but the order on the app service seemed to take forever (20-30 minutes) for drinks to arrive. Also drinks clearly on sale at the bar weren't offered on the app. Could do with better signage for facilities (toilets on the ground floor). Always enjoy a 'spoons' but this was a less than perfect experience.

Standard 'spoons offering the usual standard. Busy in the evening when we visit, cheap, cheerful. Lovely location.

Nice atmosphere at an affordable price

Nice spot for a beer on a sunny autumn afternoon. Prices are better than central London

Food was very good, atmosphere was great and service was good

Lovely pub, very hardworking staff, great food and beer.

Don't be put off by the ground floor being rammed with people at all hours - always tables to be had on the lower floors or in the vast outside space at the rear. Order via the app or at the bar using your table number and your drinks should arrive instantaneously followed by your food within half an hour irrespective of how busy the pub is. Simple honest fayre. Best of British.

Great to find a reasonably priced venue among to usual over priced tourist venues

Appalling establishment for a landmark like Windsor. Avoid at all costs. Take a short trip to all bar one round the corner where they know the meaning of hospitality. Apon a truly awful visit, feedback was provided to customer services and their response on the matter was that the management teams are licensed to do pretty much what ever they want.

A very friendly and well located pub at a convenient location right opposite Windsor Castke. The barman was helpful and efficient. The Leffe beer was great!

always a good place to recharge

Had Fish & Chips with mushy peas and half pint of Guinness with my family a group of 6. The service was very good and the food was served fast and was tasty

Two words - unprofessional- rude

We only had a quick drink, but as soon as I ordered our drinks they arrived at our table before I had put my phone down.

What you would expect from a 'Spoons. Food basic but cooked and served well. Waiting time was ok. Lovely seating area outside. Airconditioning meant it was a bit too cool sitting inside. Toilets clean but twice over a couple of days they had run out of toilet roll. Pulled a good pint of Doombar.

App didn’t work properly so meal missed of order and subsequently had to eat separately to family. Staff not very accommodating for this even though young babies in party. Baby change absolutely foul. Bin over flowing and faeces smeared on changing table. Clearly not been cleaned in a long time. As for woman’s toilet. Sanitary bin overflowing. Purely disgusting. Food satisfactory.

This pub is over 3 floors and is big. We had wanted to sit on the terrace but had to move as there were no no smoking tables. Despite a large garden, there were only 5 no smoking tables which were placed right next to those who could smoke. As the vast majority of customers were non smokers, why give priority to the minority? Tables were clean, food was typical Spoons and the atmosphere was good despite the smoke/vapes.

Very happy with our family of 9 visit.

A pleasant place to visit, clean, friendly, excellent service and food. Very close to Windsor Castle

This place is such a favorite! The food is great, the flowers and decorations are beautiful. The staff is friendly and the prices are low for all of this. And most importantly they open early and close late. I love this place

I just had drinks. No food. Nice friendly staff. Beautiful outdoor seating area.

I recently had an incredibly disappointing experience at the King and Castle restaurant. The food was simply awful. It was clear that most of the dishes were re-heated, which made them taste stale and completely unappetizing. Everything was tasteless and lacked any semblance of freshness or quality. To make matters worse, the so-called "cod fish" they advertised was definitely not cod fish—it tasted off and was nothing like what you'd expect. This place is a huge letdown, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Save your time and money and go elsewhere.

Just had a Hugo spritz really good

Good selection of beers , lagers and food and pleasant staff.

Food really nice. Most of the staff really nice. But the managers (so she says) appalling behaviour behind the bar treated my 14 year old son horribly. Saying “what don’t you understand” . When I asked her not to be rude to him, shockingly she asked us to leave her pub. Disgraceful behaviour. I have also looked at other reviews and there are similar complaints about this rude, incompetent woman.

Delicious breakfast and tasty coffee. Our server was very efficient. Definitely be going back

Sat 3rd Aug ‘2024: My experience this time, 2years later, was a joke! Due to this security guard suffering from ‘weak man’ syndrome had me ask him; “Why did he refuse me entry when he allowed my friends, who were white, in?” He responded; “You should know.” I said; “I should know what, that they're white and I'm black.” He responded; “Because they are older.” I said; “Ok! So why not say that in the first place, instead of telling me (I should know), you joker! Which is when 1 of my friends came over to me and said, the security just radioed for you (black girl with red leggings not to be let in). What was the reason for me not being let in!!! A weak man whose ego had been knocked. So for him to feel in control, he stopped me from entering! Kmt! At least my first experience here back in ‘2022 was a good 1. 🤗 * * Sun 7th Aug ‘2022: The wings are delicious and the pub is so big and spacious. 👌

Poor weatherspoons some staff rude

Good Real Ale Pub with an excellent food menu, near Central Station.

The food is horrible. The staffs are extremely rude. They can't afford to give straws with drinks. They said they are out of straws. Worst weatherspoons in all of UK.

Cold food. Not up to usual standards

A nice spoons, barely saw any chavs!

Poshest Spoons I've been in, food was lovely.

Food excellent, friendly staff, brilliant service.

Had the steak. I didn't expect much but the meal was awful.

Very good for lunch and a drink. Good prices.

Awful customer service! Older lady so rude, think she’s a manager and it’s gone to her head! Miserable and should not be working with people absolutely no communication skills. Seems there are a few reviews about her! She needs sacking

Busy place, enough tables for meals. I ordered a medium rare steak and it arrived well done - not ideal. My partner ordered a chargrilled chicken burger and it arrived looking pale and dried out. Not an experience to be repeated! I know all hospitality venues are having a hard time at the moment and allowances need to be made, but this was pushing the boundaries of acceptability. If I eat there again I will make different choices!

It was a dead place, i didn't like the food as it was very bland, the atmosphere was horrible 😫 I will definitely will not going here again. Nothing nice about this place. Food came out chared and tasteless and lack of staff did not help they had 2 staff that were running around like headless chickens

Very busy place as just across the road from Windsor Castle. Didn't have food only drinks on a very warm day.

food was cold came an hour late, hadnt eaten all day and the kids were so hungry absolute waste of time the curry was horrible would not recommend
