The Royal Windsor Public House & Dining in Windsor and Maidenhead - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely place, food was very nice and tasty. With my Essex

Came in for our daughter’s birthday to have lunch, she specifically wanted a steak, she said it was perfect 👌We were all really happy with the food quality, the surroundings were calm and welcoming. The staff were really lovely, looked after us well, and presented her with a free dessert because it was her birthday. Would definitely recommend!

Good service and help full staff. Decor little outdated

Really nice pub. Felt very comfortable as women on my own waiting for friend off train. Lovely outside seating area. Didn't eat but menu looked reasonable. Friendly staff.

Lovely little pub in a nice area. Staff are very nice and atmosphere is top tier. The staff member sunny was super friendly and welcoming. Would recommend the Monterrey jack burger!

Sadly not a great experience here for our friends 30th birthday. Having booked a table for 15 on the website - we had been split across 5 separate tables in the rain out of sight of each other to accommodate the football which wasn't ideal. A member of the team then very kindly offered to source us a table inside, however as we were next to the wait here to be seated sign, we were shouted at to get outside as we were blocking the way. A member of our party said we're just waiting for the table to be sorted and then we'll be out of the way - he was instantly barred for "talking back". After 30 minutes of back and forth, and being kicked outside and told he will not be served but the rest of us can come in now, we were finally seated as a group. Once arrived, food was absolutely lovely and is the saving grace to return it to 2 stars, but sadly a sour note put on a 30th birthday by the unnecessary drama and attitudes given to customers here. Avoid if in large groups or clashing with football timings. UPDATE: Had initially removed this review as staff attempted to recover the situation, but after being called out by name and confronted at the table in front of the party by staff I have re-added it. Really not good treatment of customers here.

Sunny is so great. Had the steak pie and the lamb shank and loved both!!!

This pub was so helpful - we had booked a table for 15 outside and it was raining and the owner / manager was so so helpful - tried so hard to accommodate us all inside despite having a full Pub watching the football and a race day at Windsor - incredible service to

Sunny was our server, he was very nice and gave us great service. The food was good and came out in a timely manner. The Royal Windsor was a the perfect place for us to eat lunch on a Friday afternoon!

Beautiful pub with a lovely beer garden overlooking Windsor Castle. Friendly staff, great service and delicious food.

I had an amazing experience at the Royal Windsor pub! I had a great time with my friends in such a beautiful location, with a stunning view of the castle. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfectly blending traditional charm with modern comfort. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we felt right at home. I especially enjoyed the Aperol Spritz tree, which was both delicious and a fun addition to our evening. The food was also fantastic, particularly the Lamb shank and the drinks selection was top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great place to unwind and enjoy good company!

Update to my review: They replied saying thanks for my feedback and look forward to seeing me back soon. Obviously they cant even be bothered reading my review. And no you won't be seeing me or my family back soon...or ever. I am local and have been going to this pub for at least 7 years but on our last visit the quality of the food was pretty average at best with my main course a complete insult to paying customers. Had fish and chips a few time before and it was always done right, crunchy and golden on the outside, juicy and flaky on the inside. This time I was served a dry fish with soggy batter and I have no doubt it was heated in a microwave....same thing we the peas, just shrivelled heated over and over. Complained right away and said I didnt want my fish and chips and to issue the refund and the waiter kept on insisting they bring me another one, obviously cooked fresh but that was too late. Eventually someone from the kitchen came to ask what's wrong with the food and offered a replacement which I refused again and got a refund. Just the fact they thought they could get away with serving that type of food and charge £20 for fish and chips is shocking. The other 4 main dishes we had were just average and overpriced. Pair that with sticky dirty menus and overall service means I'm not stepping foot again in this place.

The food wasn't the best for the price 😕 they must changed hands they had one chap running around. My husband asked for bread and butter with his fish and chips he got toast. Everything you touched was sticky. Not the best place to go.

Don't use their app to order! I was charged twice for my order. The barman, who was helpful throughout, was quick to refund it though. My starters and mains came at the same time which was also blamed on the app. On a sunny day the outside area is really to sit in. All the food we had was nice but nothing spectacular. They have a good selection of draught beers so I'd be more inclined to return for a drink.

Good place for a drink but food is very average. Didnt even have stock of basic ingredients for things on the menu

We were in the private room. Lovely space and contains a bar but also houses the WC’s and so the group was interrupted by other patrons. A pub steeped in history. Lovely different spots/ areas to sit - each with a different level of detail. Gyoza, bean burger and bruschetta were on offer for the vegetarians. Drinks were mixed up/forgotten afew times.

Decent food, great beer garden. But pretty expensive.

I planned a party here for my friend's hen do and it was an absolutely incredible experience! In the planning stages I liaised via email with Samantha Jones who made the entire process easy and straightforward. On the day, all staff were incredibly kind, helpful and attentive throughout. The food was excellent - we ordered the deluxe buffet which was delicious, there was so much food we didn't manage to eat it all! The service was exemplary, Sam made sure we had everything we needed and we felt really looked after. Thank you for making our event so special. I would thoroughly recommend The Royal Windsor and I hope to be back soon! :)

8,3£ for a pint of Asahi ! If you ever visited Windsor you should know that cellular reception is very weak around train station. It is same in the pub and their “free” wireless service is not working at all. Hence orderig via app is not very convenient. Anyway I was able to install the app and select food-drinks but no table number on the tables so you need to go to bar and ask for it. Not done yet, app does not accept apple pay so I cancelled it and went to bar. Waited for 15 min to order 2 pint and couple of nibbles. Personell at the bar always smiling and serving great. Food is also good but everything is expensive than all the pubs around. Did i mention that a pint of Asahi is 8.3£ !!

£8.50 for a pint on lager. And a horrible attitude towards customers. I don't think I need to say anything else.

Super cozy pub with beautiful views of Windsor Castle The food was delicious and the staff was excellent Would go again and again

Inside the pub is very nice the food is very good and good value for money service very good 👍

I have been here a few times and it's a lovely relaxing pub with a great outdoor area. I recently came here for a 40th birthday party. We had a section of the pub for the occasion. There was a party food platter with a mix of good food including vegan options. I was told it was good value and hiring is good too. I would recommend this pub for food, drinks and holding a birthday/ events here in Windsor. It is also dog friendly 👍☺️🐶

Great view of the castle but £8.20 for the new moretti 'sale di mare' is silly money

We have just been to a birthday at the pub an the place is lovely. We had some finger food platters done for the party, including lots of veggie options, and it was delicious and well served. Thank you Sunny for the great evening!

Went there for a friend’s birthday, he got the buffet - burgers were amazing! Both cheese and vegan burgers which tasted really good for once, chicken wings very decent, club sandwiches delicious - and compared to previous management now you barely wait to be served. Good service, great price - we’ll likely try it as sunday lunch!

Really nice place right next to the castle. Very friendly staff - thanks Sunny!

What a beautiful pub right by Windsor station - a perfect central location and the staff here are incredible. Shout out to the manager Sam and Naleen for sorting us out with the best table and their top tier service. Highly recommend and will visiting every Windsor trip from now on

Nice pub, had lunch which was lush, will definitely go back.

Location is nice but they serve flat beers on tap, extremely pathetic and watery cocktails (in fact the bartender starts to learn how to make a cocktail on the job once you give the order). The food is equally bad and appears and tastes re-heated rather than freshly cooked. And let's not talk about service (or rather a lack of it at all). An avoidable place overall!

Very busy for the Euro final however the service from Leah behind the bar was very good. She was efficient and attentive and was always smiling and happy to help. The atmosphere was great and the food was quick and tasty. Will recommend to others

Booked a table for 6 for the euros final which incurred a £5 a head deposit (£30). Booked from 7.00-10.30pm outside as we couldn’t book a table inside. Kick off approached and a man with a clipboard approached the table to advise we had not booked the table for 6, only 2 and it was supposed to be inside under a different name. Booking confirmation was presented and we argued that this was not possible as a £30 reservation had been placed (we were also sat at a table with the correct labelled reservation chalk board)- person just shrugged their shoulders as it was not on their clipboard and argued we needed to move. Absolutely disgusting behaviour to customers in front of a busy beer garden. If the £30 deposit didn’t matter then why charge it in the first place?! Although we a not regulars at this pub we visit regularly enough for this experience to have put us off visiting again. Unfriendly and rude. No acknowledgement or apology that they had made an error.

The great food and drinks were overshadowed by the sticky menus and probably the grossest washrooms I've ever seen. Sad really because there is a nice charm to the place since it's right beside the castle. And the food was quite good as well as the beer. Could have been a solid 4/5.

Booked for the Euros semi final on Wednesday evening and had to leave a £20 deposit. Spent £275 between 4 of us and paid the bill including. £20 tip. I then asked if the £20 deposit had been taken into account and was told it had not so asked for this to be refunded. The Landord refused and offered £5.95 bottle of fizz (see photo and checked the value online) which we refused. I was promised a call back today after further discussion but nothing heard. Very disappointed after spending a decent amount of money and leaving them a tip for what was self service at the bar….

Over-priced very standard and average pub food plus Pizzas. Didn't try there pizza but would doubt that £17 would be good value. They also have the habit of playing extremely irritating teenage pop music everywhere and in the garden for as long as can well into the evening. It can attract a loud drunken crowd being next door to the train station. However, I did appreciate appreciate very much being able to watch 2 football games simultaneously during the euros.

Great lunch with views of Windsor Castle, and excellent service from Sunny

Great location, average food. Kids meals were nice

Lovely old pub. Windsor Castle in the background of the garden.

Lovely pub and so friendly, will definitely be back. Sunny was lovely and made my friends and I so welcome..my little dog too!

The all time utterly and completely incompetent staff. Truly the worst service I’ve ever had. Bar none. Avoid at all costs. Forgot 2 meals. Forgot 2 drinks. One drink wrong. Then when we asked them to fix it… they screwed up even more!! Honestly, the man and women serving truly had absolutely no clue whatsoever about what they were doing. They couldn’t understand “1 Guinness and a side of sweet potato fries”. They had forgotten both…. Finally 10 mins later she brought regular fries. We asked again for the Guinness and the sweet potato fries… she brought 2! sweet potato fries and NO Guinness! When I finally went to the bar to get a Guinness and reorder everything they screwed up, I was instantly brought a flat Guinness that had likely been poured 30 minutes ago!

Been to this pub a few times now - great atmosphere with great staff. Sunny in particular took great care of our group - thank you Sunny. Would be good to see some more vegetarian options on the menu please!

We had a nice meal - good food and atmosphere and Sunny was a great waiter!

Came here for a quick bite to eat with the dog and granddaughter. Good food and good service.

Do yourself a favour and don’t come here, it may be nice inside but it’s daylight robbery… my mate got us two pints and was charged over £16 which is extortionate and unforgivable in my opinion, given the recent cost of living issues… Stonegate #ripoff

Amazing service from Mary, would definitely recommend

Nice pub with award winning pies! Specially liked the chicken and pancetta with creamy sauce. Tried the local ale and it was decent. Very good service frim the staff.

Chips were amazing beer is good, the rest sadly was mediocre. Service was reasonably bad, cleanliness is poor, toilets are very dirty and smelly.

Staff are so rude. Don’t even turn around to speak to you at the bar. When asking for a straw acts as if I’ve asked for the world. Terrible service

Traveled all the way from Florida and this was easily one of the best pubs in Windsor! Mary was amazing, truly made the experience! Very knowledgeable on the menu and was kind enough to help with questions regarding our trip in the UK.

An incredible location with direct views of Windsor Castle. Friendly and efficient service with a nice atmosphere at the pub. The food is rather expensive (£15-25 a dish) whilst being fairly standard pub food, but it was good and there were no complaints. It's still a lot cheaper than some of the other restaurants in Windsor (£25-40 a dish).

Amazing place with amazing food and staff! I recommend! The staff is very kind and they even gave me a surprise for my birthday

I have walked past this pub several times but never been inside. Me and my partner travelled down from Birmingham for his birthday, for the day and ended up staying the night to watch the fight. As we're not familiar with the local pubs, we didn't know who was showing the fight on Sat night. We walked in randomly and asked, the gentleman that spoke to us (think he was the manager) was absolutely lovely! He was polite, friendly, professional and defo won my loyalty. We got a table, good seats and were taken care of all night! Great staff on site too, especially those working on Saturday night because it was very busy. I will definitely be back every time I visit Windsor! Went to another pub that same day to enquire about the fight, the customer service was awful! If you're like me - someone who adores great customer service, visit The Royal Windsor! From Kim & Danny!

Absolutely loved the atmosphere at Impunity! The vibes were so welcoming, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The beer selection was top-notch, offering a variety of delicious options. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy a great brew in a cozy setting. Can't wait to visit again!

What a fantastic surprise to find this gem right outside Windsor and Eton Central Station. Good atmosphere and excellent service, beautiful terrace out the back with views up to the castle. Highly recommend this either at the start or the end of your day out in Windsor.

Fantastic beer and a really cool atmosphere with this rebuilt building

Food was pretty average. £20 for a salad was a bit excessive. Didn’t have the best service which was a shame. The pub itself is very lovely and a fantastic location!

Nice place close to railway station also close to castle and river Thames

Quick service and good service too staff where nice and friendly. food was ok a bit ping ping microwave veg and potato’s.

Great drinks, we shared chips, hot, crispy chunky chips were great. Staff were very attentive and friendly.

A very very nice pub, with a decoration that almost seemed like you were in a restaurant. The outdoor option seemed incredible to me and with the great day it was, we didn't even think about it. The food seemed very delicious and quite “healthy”, the only thing that seemed small to me was that the portions seemed small, but... it's not a negative thing, it's just that I like to eat and if I compare it with others I've been to in the country It gave me that feeling.

We had a very nice dinner there with many people. Staff were very kind and quick respondong on our request. Looks very authentic and well maintained.

Nice location and they clearly took advantage of that. Recommend you stop for a drink only.. Both the Food and toilets were disgusting on a busy sunny Saturday. The starter claimed to be award winning and was £8 for a chopped up sausage covered in a cheap pre-made chilli sauce.

Had just arrived and parked up in Windsor. Used this pub a few years before. Rushed ahead to use the toilet before the rest of my group. An unfriendly guy said the toilets are for patrons, I said I will be. He said he would wait outside the toilet to make sure I buy a drink. As a 68 year old I will not be spoken to like that and left to find a friendly establishment for lunch. My family and I enjoyed our Easter in Windsor, but the over weight guy with glasses needs to learn how to interact with customers. Plenty of decent pubs and hotels to eat and drink in. Avoid this place.

Lovely lunch at the Royal Windsor, before going to the theatre, great view of the castle and super service from Sunny! It was a miserable day but pub was warm and cosy! Recommend the Brownie 🤪

We had the Sunday roast and the award winning pie. The food was very good and the service from Sunny was exceptional. Will visit again

Food delicious, nice atmosphere and really nice terrace outside. It was definitely a great place for our lunch, food arrived really quick and the staff were really nice. Definitely I recommend if you are around!

Had a really nice family meal at the Royal Windsor. It purports to be dog friendly, and it certainly is. We took my Son’s German Shepherd and the staff were great with him. The food was really good pub style food with a wide vegetarian range. I had the steak and venison pie and it was delicious, maybe a tad small, but still lovely. Overall a good place to meet up and we’d definitely go there again when in the area.

Lovely food at this charming quiet pub in Windsor, right by the station. Sunny was a great waiter, very friendly and welcoming

As an aussie i thought we had the best pies (we'vetried so many aussie award winning pies). But we were pleasantly surprised here in london to find their award winner was better than whats back at home. The sausage and mash also perfect! Somehow the mash has a nice chewy texture and so do the carrots.

Great food and friendly service. Great place to have a good time with friends. Sunny and staff took very good care of our large group!

Just popped in for a quick drink and found a great selection of ale, friendly and helpful staff, and a great atmosphere.

Will be going again very soon..

Welcomed immediately by a waiter who saw us to our table. Service was excellent as was the food! We had the Mother’s Day deal, which was great value for money. Lovely atmosphere too!

Had a fantastic lunch yesterday at the Royal Windsor for Mother's day. The scampi was beautifully seasoned and crisp. Incredible location and service living up to its name. I was made to feel like royalty.

Mother’s Day lunch service by sunny was outstanding food delicious unlimited potatoes and Yorkshire puddings sticky toffee pudding was amazing

Amazing Mother’s Day lunch. Incredible food, and wonderful service. Thank you to the team especially Sunny 😊 Free bubbles and a gift too!

OMG. Amazing Sunday Mithers day lunch. MASSIVE portions to suit every appetite. Excellent service and attentive Staff. Highly recommend. As Arnie says "I'LL BE BACK!".

Lovely place to come for a Mother’s Day lunch. Food was great and staff made a real effort with presentation. Service was great and staff were very kind - even gave my mum a free gift! Thank you Sunny and the team for making it a special afternoon.

Sunday, when there is a premier league football game on - is not a good time to go for food and drink if that is not what you are going in for 🤔

Nice pub but the sharing platters are very overpriced

Wonderful service, food and atmosphere! 10 out of 10! Perfect location at the base of Windsor Castle. Highly recommend!

Sunny went above and beyond for our family today who enjoyed lunch immensely with views of Windsor Castle. Tasty meals, great service.

Tea was good. The treats were good. The service was great. The atmosphere was fabulous! I won’t take any more of your time. :)

The bottomless brunch was great, Mary was so helpful and attentive. A great girlie brunch, highly recommend.

Great location right next to the station and the river, with the castle walls towering over it. Lovely view as you sit and drink. Perfect location when waiting for your train, or when you've just got back from work on one.

Lovely service, will come again

Cracking pub, so cosy and inviting. Tasty food and large portions.

Sam was honestly fantastic. Amazing service and he has got some good jokes. Went for drinks and I was really stuck on what I fancied, told Sam what kind of flavours I like and he really helped me find a drink that was made for me. Would really recommend coming here.

Bottomless brunch was fab - wonderful service by the lovely Mary and great food selection. Had the veggie breakfast which was very tasty

I'm not apologetic for my next comments. The woman who takes you to your table is rude beyond belief, and the man behind the bar is even worse. The pair of them have absolutely no idea what British pub culture is. I can't even put in to words how much of a disaster the deadly duo are. **** holes the pair of them.

Didn’t eat here but great pub. Really friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

If the aim of the staff is to discourage people from ever coming back, these guys are doing an awesome job

Lovely pub with stunning views of the castle. Food was delicious. Sam and the team warmly welcomed us and made us feel at home :)

It's a bit shocking to find smaller than expected dishes for both of our orders - a burger and fish & chips. At £18-19 each, they are too 'dry' with only a bit of chips and pees, and that's about it; you'd need to pay for a lot of extras ....... The only thing made me feel better was that I was brave enough to not give tips /service charges. Even so I paid nearly £50 for a quick lunch. Despite the cosy interiors and rather ok staff, the quality and prices keep us from visiting again ......

Came here for dinner recently and all the staff were so lovely ! I must give a special mention to Mary, such a great member of the team, made the evening :) definitely will be back when next in the area

It was a really lovely dinner, food was really amazing. Staff were really nice and very friendly- Mary was particularly great.

Mary is such a sweetheart and so accommodating. Had such a lovely time here and would definitely recommend!

Food was great. Mary was brilliant and attentive.

Food overpriced and not very good. Potatoes hard, beef overcooked and small portions, just not up to scratch for pub grub at that price.
