The Royal Oak in Windsor and Maidenhead

A last minute panic of 8 friends looking for somewhere to have some food and a drink. everything happens for a reason and now I can guarantee we will be back. What a wonderfully friendly pub in a lovely setting. The food was really reasonably priced so I have to say I thought the worse but was hungry. Well as the food started to come out I realised I had nothing to worry about. Everything was dished up with care and attention and it was all piping hot. Not a bad meal among us. Everyone one of us cleared our plates. Normally I don't take pictures of my lunch but the effort that was made to make this prawn and avocado salad was amazing. I can tell you it tasted as good as it looked too. We also had a birthday in our group and the whole pub joined in with the birthday song. Overall a lovely experience and I feel I have found a gem of a place.

Our first visit since it reopened. Food menu is not extensive but the food was well prepared at reasonable prices served by friendly/helpful staff. Sadly, there is nothing cosy about the dining room which feels a bit stark with harsh acoustics as no soft furnishings to absorb noise. It seems popular with locals as has a pool table & sport TV at the front & dining area slightly segregated.

A really welcoming pub. Just what myself and my dog needed after a fabulous 5+ mile autumnal circular walk around the twin peaks of Bowsey Hill and Ashley Hill. Loads of longer and shorter routes easily constructed from the large network of footpaths north and south of the pub. Inside, the pub was clean, warm, bright and very dog friendly with plenty of dog water bowls, inside and out. The bar staff were very attentive, friendly and wearing bat headgear - Halloween inspired perhaps? My £12 fish and chips was top notch with crisp batter and the fish cooked perfectly within. Fabulous! Oct 31st.

Definitely a locals pub but very friendly people. I came here on a recommendation and got to say very impressed fab food at amazing price.

Came here on a Monday night for the first time in 20 years. It's changed a lot since last time I was here, but it was still nice, in more of a "local pub" way than the restaurant it used to be. Lovely pint of Brakspear, and a really delicious pie and chips with good gravy. Reasonably priced, friendly staff, and they scored 5 for food hygiene, which is always nice to know.

Had a fantastic Christmas dinner today very friendly staff.. Ellie and her colleagues were exceptional with the service and hospitality and a a big shout out to the chef and his assistants the food was amazing. I would highly recommend a visit to this friendly pub/restaurant thanks guys. Dave & Andrea Wilcox

Went for a few drink to celebrate my friends birthday excellent service by the staff will be back soon

Excellent as always....trying to be healthy so asked for salad instead of chips....best salad....steak cooked perfectly too.

Excellent staff, all friendly and willing to help!! Can’t wait to get back to the pub when it opens. The Royal Oak have a massive selection of drinks as well!

The safest I have felt since stopping shielding. Marvellous staff, lovely food and really on the ball with the new safety measures. Will certainly go again. Well done.

Superb place to visit and eat great area for walkers great pub garden and plenty of parking space a hidden gem just off the a4

Very welcoming staff. All the people in the bar are very welcoming. Very dog friendly place staff may even tempt your four legged friend with a treat or two. Plenty of room outside weather permitting for children to run around.

This Pub is set back of the main A4 Bath Road in Knowl hill, The Chef is regarded to the highest standards, his food is always eaten by the locals as well as walkers, the homemade Oxtail soup is amazing, also a great choice of Gins and Whiskeys and 3 guest ales as well as lagers,ciders. I have been going to this pub as a local as many others do we need to support small local pubs or we will loose them.

This is a friendly, traditional locals pub with a rural feel - though conveniently situated just off the A4 up a quiet country road on the outskirts of Maidenhead. We left our car here while we did a circular countryside walk around the area, then returned for a lovely meal. The menu is up on blackboards in the bar (plus a specials board), and is traditional British pub food fayre - not to mention a lovely curry option too! I enjoyed a piping-hot Cumberland sausage and mash, and my partner had goujons - our meals were very tasty, and we didn’t have to wait very long. Good beer range too - all in all an excellent ‘proper’ pub off the beaten track that’s well worth a visit.

A nice traditional little English pub 500 yards off the A4 certainly seemed friendly enough , quiet when we arrived as was early on a bank holiday Monday . A good pint of Guinness and my friend said the real ale was well kept . The menu looked to be very fairly priced , definitely worth a visit .

This is a traditional village pub just off the A4 with very friendly welcoming atmosphere but also excellent food

Friendly pub with decent food and beer, reasonably priced as well. Would return. Very dog friendly. Local chap even gave my wife some of his own sparkling water as the bar had run out, nice gesture.

Very friendly and delicious hearty food. You are in for a real treat, but make sure you make it to your table on time ;p A 5 star roast and this is what you get for pudding 😂

Friendly staff good local pub, food is of good quality for the price, good drink selection will definitely visit again

¡Qué lugar tan agradable! ¡Tuvo el mejor pastel en años, hecho por el propietario! Pastelería era divina, llena de carne y queso azul, no puedo esperar a volver por más. Los amigos tenían pasteles de pescado que se pronunciaron excelentes, al igual que el bistec y el jamón grueso tallado a mano con huevos y patatas fritas.Buena botella de rojo de Tall Horse, todo a un precio muy razonable. Y es perro amigable también. . . . . muy bien vale la pena ir.

Stopped here on our biking tour and were very happy with the experience. Lots of locals with their dogs (all friendly), cheerful staff, very nice food and excellent local beers.

Visitamos el Royal Oak brevemente antes de una reunión de capacitación de perro cerca del pueblo que (y el perro) fueron cálidamente recibidos por los clientes y el personal por igual.

La primera cosa que notamos fue la estufa a leña. Es sencillo, hasta pub local de la tierra, con una variedad de cervezas. El Brakspeare nos vino a la baja, es una verdadera sesión de cerveza, una Amber Ale con una buena, fresca hoppy sabor. También llevaron melancólico bar pero no he probado.

Comimos como una familia sin reserva, durante un paseo en diciembre, entre Navidad y Año Nuevo. Encantadora bienvenida, fuego, y calefacción durante una ola de frío, así que sobresaliente para también. Precios razonables, buena comida de pub y generosas porciones. Aseos muy limpios.

Llamamos al Royal Oak un descanso para tomar café mientras disfrutando de un paseo familiar, y nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. Había tres tipos diferentes de cervezas de la bomba de mano y la selección de la comida en el menú era variado y todo sonaba apetecible, también nos aseguró que toda la comida estaba recién preparada en la cocina, así que decidí volver más tarde para el almuerzo. Nos alegramos porque toda nuestra comida era deliciosa, caliente y muy agradable, la cervezas, eran muy buenos.

Very small but a lovely warm atmosphere. Open fire in winter makes it so cosy. Not easy to see off the main A4 but well worth a visit. Great Sunday roast at a reasonable price

This is an out of the way pub which has a great welcoming atmosphere at the bar from the locals and does great food. Karl and the team know how to have a good time and will definitely make you feel part of the community.

Sin frivolidades comida de pub. Fui con amigos después de una mañana de domingo cojeremos de Waltham St. Lawrence. Aunque llegamos más tarde de lo previsto el personal sólo sonrió y nos dirigió a nuestra mesa reservada. La comida es comida de pub y nada...

También hacen sándwiches a la venta en la gasolinera local y he tenido el mejor ensalada de jamón con sandwich mayo de mostaza. tonto de revisión ya lo sé, pero fue un gran paso más allá de los sándwiches normales estación de gasolina, aunque debo...

My wife and I booked a table after reviewing trip advisor for restaurants in Knowl Hill. Nice pub with limited indoor seating but if it's nice then there is plenty of garden space and seats. Limited menu but food was good and ample potions. Good value too!

14 of us (plus 2 dogs) descended on the pub for Sunday lunch in the middle of a walk. We'd prebooked and were given a lovely table outside with views across the countryside. The food was excellent and plentiful and very very good value. The staff were very friendly and if we lived any closer we'd visit again.

Brilliant food and excellent service. I've been here a few times and always have a great meal. Well worth a visit
