The Old Swan Uppers in Windsor and Maidenhead

Didn't eat so can't rate the food but the pub is always lovely and cosy

We had another great family dinner at The Swan last night. This is such a fab pub with great food, service and ambience.

Great Sunday roast. May be pretty loud

My partner and I were looking for a local pub to have some lunch. We first went to one on the High Street but were not impressed with the attitude of the waitress we met and also the atmosphere of the place. So, we thankfully decided to go somewhere else. As soon as we walked into The Old Swan Uppers we knew we had made the right decision! The staff were really friendly and welcoming, the food and drink delicious, and it had a great relaxed atmosphere with some funky music :-) I cannot recommend this pub enough! A real local gem :-)

Had a carvery and I have got to say it is one of the best carvery’s I’ve had and the service was amazing. I would definitely recommend coming here !!!!!

Nice pub with handy outside seating

Stopped for a quick pint. The beer was really cold which we like. Nice outside seating area and friendly staff.

The food is good (usually – can be a bit hit and miss mid-week) and the staff always friendly. But if I’m ordering and paying at the bar I don’t expect to pay for service – or I should at least be asked/informed. I was on my own and had a burger and a pint, and it came to £27, which feels a bit steep.

Food lovely but to add on service charge at the point of paying takes the piss a bit..

Today I visited the Swan Uppers, overall I had a lovely experience. The reason I gave a 4 for food and service, was I ordered a latte ot was quite bitter and didn't finish the drink and a latter does not have chocolate on top. And the 4 for service was for the service charge, gratuity should at your discretion not added to the bill

Wonderful pub slap bang in the middle of cookham. Will always recommend the uppers

Visited with a friend and dogs. We enjoyed fantastic, very fresh fish and chips, excellent service and a very friendly atmosphere!

Such a nice, proper neighbourhood pub, decent beer and always a good crowd of locals at the bar, I think it’s the best actual pub in Cookham.

Recently moved to the area so have been trying out a few of the local pubs and we couldn’t fault a thing here. The restaurant area is really lovely, with a lot of character or you have the bar area which is more ‘lively’. The staff were all more than helpful and friendly. Food was absolutely delicious. Will be visiting again soon

We came for a Father's Day Sunday Lunch. There were no 'Specials', and nothing 'special' for the Dad's either. For Mother's Day Mum's are usually given a complementary glass of Prosecco, but nothing at all was given to the Dads. The Pims was very weak, and the beer was very cloudy. The Yorkshire pudings were cold. The rest of the food was nice though, but pricey. However, the service was very good, and all staff were very friendly and helpful. We've been here before, a few times infact and had great food and very good service, so hopefully this was just unfortunate.

The food at this lovely traditional pub is excellent. We took our Aussie guests there for dinner - we had three starters between four, which was plenty, and all were delicious, as were the prawn and crab pasta and calves liver mains. Including a bottle of wine and a beer, it worked out at £36 per head - it was a truly outstanding meal.

Awesome pub with really friendly staff, great selection of beers on tap and the food was top notch. Would recommend this to anyone an will definitely be coming back!

Good pub food.... a little expensive but it is Cookham!

Fantastic Sunday lunch! Not sure why but we’d never thought to try it before normally we just go in the evening. Very friendly service and a huge roast. One of us chicken & the other beef, both lovely and served with cauliflower cheese on the side at no extra charge. Highly recommend.

Excellent food as always! The tapas is a fabulous idea and a great selection, very tasty and very welcoming staff 😀

Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Excellent local beer 🍺🙂.

Having discovered last minute that our the pub/hotel we were staying at didn’t serve food on a Monday & the other 2 pubs in the village were also closed, we tried The Old Swan Uppers as next nearest - we were certainly glad we did! The pub was busy as it was quiz night but they fitted us in no problem, the food was delicious, service all night excellent & was reasonably priced. What topped it off though was the quiz - everyone was so friendly & we thoroughly enjoyed it, almost more so than our usual local pub quiz - wish we lived closer but will certainly visit if we return to the area!

Having recently tried many local pubs and restaurants for a late Sunday lunch, I can honestly say TOSU is the very best in the Maidenhead, Cookham, Bourne End area. Fantastic home cooked food, generous tasty portions and a great wine list. Staff are professional and friendly. A bonus for us was no kids ! Just loved it 🙂. Can highly recommend the Scotch Egg Black Pudding starter and the Belly Pork Sunday roast is sublime. Nom, nom ,nom 😋 xx

Had a wonderful evening with my uncle and his wife with our drinks poured by the short one behind the bar who was very funny and kind, special thanks to him :)

Super Sunday lunch. Sean's beef is super good.

Had the Liver and Bacon followed by the Fruit Crumble this evening. I can honestly say that it was one of the nicest meals that I have for many years. Well done The Swan Uppers!

Oh my goodness this place was amazing!! A must visit! We went for dinner as we were staying nearby at the CIM Business Centre, and it turned out to be one of the best meals we’ve had in a long, long time. My partner had steak and ale casserole and said it was the best she had ever had! I had the Bombay salmon which was an unusual plate but tasted sooo good. Then we had sticky toffee pudding for dessert and that was honestly the best sticky toffee we’ve both ever had. The quality of the food was SO good and SO tasty. The staff were lovely and looked after us well. Thank you Old Swan for an amazing meal we won’t forget in a long time!

Having had a look around Cookham including the Stanley Spencer Gallery on a very rainy day about two weeks ago my daughter and I were looking for somewhere to go for lunch and came across The Old Swan Uppers. What a stroke of luck. Not too busy on the day that we went but found ourselves seated at a nice table right at the back of the restaurant. We made our selections from the tapas section of the menu and were not disappointed. Warm ciabatta & olives, soup of the day, king prawns, scotch egg, crispy squid and chipolatas; all cooked and served beautifully. Good economical food, nice service and lovely atmosphere. Well deserved five stars.

Nice pub in lovely village location. Worst thing is parking as small car park at rear. If in village for day park on Moor & walk up 400 yards.

Visited the Old Swan with my little hiking group. We had to pre order our food but damn was it worth it! The food was fantastic, so much variety, massive portions and the service was impeccable - we will be back!

Amazing ambience and food is delightful the best chicken liver pate in the world! Highly recommended menu and excellent value for money. Lovely staff - special thanks to Katie, Simon, Sean & Kevin and Dave. .

Once you’ve waited over an hour for a bit of a roast, the meal is pretty much ruined already. And really, it was not worth waiting for. The beef was 50% fat and I think someone had accidentally tipped a pot of pepper into the veg combo thing that was served. There’s only ten or so tables and every one of them next to us had to ask where their food was. Add to this the table that had their little brat screaming their head off the entire time, and I wish I’d gone elsewhere.

Great hearth real beer good food

Good pub with friendly staff and a good menu that has about 8 different starters and 8 or so mains. They accommodated our table of 9 with ease, great service for drinks. Plenty of tables The car park was a little busy, but that can only really be a good sign..

Been here a few times to eat. The food has always been really good, home cooked food. The staff are really lovely and all give excellent service. Went here again last October, but quite disappointed. The food was not up to the usual standard and felt rushed. Such a shame, Will think twice about going again now 😕

Great selection on beer, reasonable prices. Food is great, would very much recommend Sunday lunch and breakfast. Great, thanks.

We ordered Beef and Ale Casserole and Chicken and Ham Hock Pie - both were packed with good quality meats, generous portions and tasted great. Cheese board had three different cheeses on it and next time I will order ahead so it can rest out of the fridge whilst we enjoy our mains. Husband loved his Sticky Toffee & Warming Ginger Pud served with lashings of home made toffee sauce. Kevin, as always, made us feel special and provided impeccable service.

I was there attending a post funeral gathering Not the happiest of times The food and service was fine Ok Good for a pub...... The wife and I did discuss returning to try it for dinner one evening

I wal looking for a old style pud and I was found in it. It was perfect

Post Christmas supper and the pub was very busy which made for a great atmosphere. The restaurant around to the side and back has a nice feel about it and also pretty busy. Service was excellent, the calamari was really delicious. Fish and chips were one of the best we’ve had in a restaurant for some time. The Mac n cheese was also very good. The cheeeboard was very generous alongside the excellent crumble. We are definitely going again.

Great evening at the Swan Uppers - booked in advance as it was a Friday night. Group of 6 - we shared lots of small plates rather than any main meals. All delicious - crispy squid was amazing. Service was great, attentive and quick with both food and drinks. The bar was really busy - there was a singer/band - who was excellent - so we finished up in the bar with some more drinks before we left. Would recommend for either a drink or food in their restaurant - lovely place and lovely friendly atmosphere.

A jewel of a country pub just off the river Thames and the centre of Cookham. A classic quintessential British pub with warming fireplace, hospitality and great food.

We popped in for a very late lunch on Saturday, we had 2 beef pies, 1 halloumi burger and 1 gluten free burger. All food was great, atmosphere was friendly and they're dog friendly too. Thank you 😊

Sunday roast is wonderful here with delicious cauliflower cheese. It has a great atmosphere and is always buzzing so definitely best to book a table. The Old Swan Uppers has a great atmosphere, wonderful attentive and happy staff so it’s always a treat when we visit.

If you are looking for Michelin Star food at pub prices look no further! Fabulous lunch yesterday for a party of 11. If I lived locally The Swan Uppers would be my 'go to' place to eat. Top marks to the chef and all other staff.

A drink and sandwich lunch. A warm welcome and pleasant service for a drink and sandwich lunch. Two small outside seating areas, a dining room and bar area. Dog friendly.

Really good Sunday roast, staff were very helpful and surroundings were great. Only one criticism, please don’t pile the meat on top of the roast potatoes as it made them soggy. Not sure why you need to do that. Will go back again.

I am lucky to live locally and cannot tell you how fabulous the Sunday roasts are. I live on my own so never cook a roast for myself and this is always a special treat. The beef is always pink which is just how I like it and the vege cooked to perfection with great roasties and a blooming good cauliflower cheese, not just cauliflower with grated cheese on the top. The staff are happy, young, polite and attentive and everything is run like clockwork which is amazing given the fact that every time a table vacates it is immediately filled by new occupants. The atmosphere has a great feel, busy vibrant and relaxing and all in all a wonderful place to spend Sunday lunch. Give it a whirl as you will not be disappointed.

Lovely pub with great food and very friendly and helpful staff

Lovely pub with good food, well kept beer and friendly and efficient service.

First time I've had a roasted pork belly and it was lovely. So we're the vegetables especially cauliflower cheese. Will return

Best steak ciabatta I have ever had, steak lovely and juicy. Staff very attention

Stunning Sunday lunch! I started with the delicious home made pate and the had the pork belly which was huge and beautifully cooked. Fab service, lovely beer and a nice ambiance. To be fair it’s been consistently good for years, but this is my first review.

We had fantastic tapas at the pub and they were generous portions and fairly priced. There was no background music in the restaurant area which would have been nice. But lovely decor and all round very nice pub.

Sunday roast. Been before, very good. Today! Roast potatoes weren’t! Mentioned it to waitress. Noticed other plates were being returned with white roast potatoes! Yorkshire was soft not crispy… Lasagne was fair Chips were barely warm, NOT crisp! Fried fish was very good!

We booked Sunday lunch for our family as part of our wedding anniversary celebrations. The starters and Sunday lunch were excellent, well done to the chefs . The bar and waiting staff, as always, were very friendly, efficient and attentive.

Back in the mid and late ‘90s, the Stiefel Labs contingent use to frequent the Old Swan Uppers for Friday lunch. Angus d (aka 002.5) recommended the roast lamb shank was particularly good. So, today’s visit was a Stiefel reunion. The young staff were astute and efficient. Since the lamb shank was not on the menu, I tried the homemade pie with a glass of house claret. The pie was definitely not in the sky but rather down to earth tasty. The side vegetables were carefully cooked. The chips, like DCI Henry Crabbe (in ‘Pie in the Sky) says should be tapered at one, and they were. I hope they consider putting the lamb shank back on the menu, so that one can patron the Old Swan Uppers again inorder to try it.

Amazing food. Service great too

Very nice, staff friendly and very welcoming, loved 😍 😀 ❤ it.

Have visited a few times now with my partner. We’ve tried the roasts, lunch menu, and dinner menu. All super tasty, would highly recommend!

Have visited a few times now with my partner, we love coming here. We’ve tried the roasts, lunch, and dinner menu. The pub is beautifully decorated, friendly staff and delicious food. Would highly recommend :)

Everything was just Excellent. We have visited this Delightful English Pub for Sunday Lunch before with my family. Each time the Meal ,Charming Staff and Service have been wonderful. So we wanted something special again for Fathers Day, as I also wanted to take my Elderly Parents this time as well as my family. The Old Swan Uppers did not disappoint. Sometimes when there is six people for Sunday Lunch things can be a bit slow and often meals can become cold. Well not here. Food is Hot and Delicious. We even had some very tasty Cheesy Garlic Bread as a starter. We came away quite stuffed but very happy and contented. Thank you and Well done to everybody.

A welcoming friendly pub/restaurant with great service and food. A wide range of dishes, good selection of drinks and superb desserts. Great atmosphere with timeless architecture for those seeking a bit of history.

Amazing food, choice, taste and quantity amazing. Attention from the staff superb.

It's a classic style English pub, to be fair my expectations weren't good, I opted for a steak ciabatta, i have to say this is the best ciabatta I ever had in a pub so far. You're not asked how would you prefer your steak, which comes well done, clever, so the bread don't get soggy, the meat was tender, and I loved every bite of it. The side salad was brilliant, a tiny portion but rich of ingredients, even the lady who served me was really nice. 11 out of 10

Only called for a drink. Also had a sticky toffee pudding, which was very nice. Friendly staff and good service. 👍

One of the best meals I've had for a long time. Great food and excellent service. Very good wine list.

We have dined here twice and the food is excellent. Very impressive chef. Food beautifully presented with taste to match. I don’t often leave reviews but feel compelled to do so. Enjoy!

Returned for Sunday lunch… perfect… Great atmosphere Friendly helpful staff Just love this quaint old pub. Parking not always so easy hence 4* on the food and service would rate 5*

Great food awaits the casual diner at this old classic pub. Along with friendly staff and home cooked steak and ale pie (amazing!) the honeycomb cheesecake was the best ever! Highly recommended for ambience, fabulous food and a friendly welcome.

Prompt attention and showed straight to our table. Orders taken in good time and food and drinks came soon. Well cooked food and well presented - all in our party were very satisfied with the quality of food and service.

First time I visited today on recommendation from a friend and we were not disappointed, staff very friendly and food was some of the best I’ve had in a very long time in the area and also pricing was reasonable I will definitely be going again very soon, best linguini I have ever tasted :)

Our second visit as a group of four last Sunday. Two roasts, a lasagne and a curry. Chicken satay starter was excellent. All four main dishes were thoroughly enjoyed. Staff were friendly, efficient and professional. Excellent value. We’ll be back June sometime.

My family and I came here for a Sunday roast and were not disappointed! There’s such a variety, everything is cooked to perfection and there’s even a vegetarian option! The pub is beautiful, the food is tasty and the staff are adorable. Not a single thing to complain about. Would highly recommend 😊

The host was fantastic along with the food and atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Excellent service and excellent food. We had a small wait and were treated to complimentary drinks. The manager couldnt do enough to ensure we had a good experience. Would defintely come back again

We were so impressed with our first Sunday lunch here back in January that we keep coming back! There's no shortage of good gastropubs and restaurants in Cookham, but the Old Swans Uppers just delivers more of a personal touch than most places. Every time...

It's an OK place. Very busy all the time.

Another delicious Sunday lunch! Tom went above & beyond again. Loving the Baileys Sunday treat! Thank you x

Always great food and lovely atmosphere and setting. I would recommend booking a table as can get very busy. Service is excellent and friendly. My only issue would be parking can be challenging as in most places it’s a bit hit and miss if you get a space. But apart from that I would highly recommend and attend often.

Went for Sunday roast, the food was great. Very busy, but they got us table with in 5 minutes. Good selection of beers on offer. Service and staff were excellent. Would recommend.

Very disappointing birthday lunch, when we arrived, the person serving behind the bar was very abrupt & rude. We were hurried through to the eating area & given our menus but, going by the reviews we had read, already knew we wanted to order Fish...

We called up last minute to see if they were still serving, and was told that the kitchen would usually be closed. However they were kind enough to accommodate and take our order over the phone, ready for our arrival. The food (roast chicken and...

Came here for Sunday lunch with the family after being recommended by a friend. Very caring front of house staff. Brilliant food, the chef even came out towards the end to make sure everything was okay which I’ve never seen before. Very impressed with this place and will definitely be back again.

Fantastic food and great service, will definitely return!

Amazing staff, so friendly and efficient. We had such a lovely evening and never felt rushed. The food portions are really generous, so much so that I couldn't finish my meal. Food is beautifully cooked, and well done to the chef. The cheese board for...

We visited The Old Swan Uppers in Cookham for Lunch on New Years Eve, what a treat!! The atmosphere was really friendly and inviting and the food was amazing. We will definitely be returning soon and would highly recommend a visit.

Probably the best Sunday lunch I’ve had in a pub. Normally find them disappointing but this was very very tasty, and the staff charming.

Just went for a couple of beers before going to the Moor Hall. It was busy there was a world Cup match on but friendly and welcoming atmosphere with good beer.

Had a great evening here watching the football, amazing food and service, would recommend.

I’ve been twice last month and enjoyed the food both times Lovely village pub.

We booked a table for last night & had the most wonderful meal, Staff were friendly, attentive & nothing was too much trouble, there are a credit to the industry, for our meal we shared Chiken satay skewers, perfectly cooked with a tasty satay dip,...

Excellent food, service & hospitality… chatted to the chef when he came off shift, dedicated and committed to quality and service… worth the 5*’s plus.

I was travelling through the area with my wife and son and stopped off for lunch. From the moment we walked in we were impressed - the food was delicious, fresh and served witha smile. They went above and beyond to accomodate us (my son...

We had a fantastic afternoon for my daughters Christening lunch at the Old Swan Uppers. They have a lovely conservatory area perfect for large family lunches. The staff and management couldn't have been more helpful in the lead up to the day, responsive with food...

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing staff, and owners. My wife and I regularly go to Swan Upper for lunch and they really are top quality. Their club sandwich cannot be equaled, and that's just one dish. Excellent chef, great service, and the staff are friendly...
