Uncle Tom's Cabin in Windsor and Maidenhead

Nice pub with a friendly atmosphere

A definite favourite. Great little spot for a catch up with friends.

Lovely little local pub - well worth a visit, especially when there's live music in the garden 🎶

Charming and intimate. Fabulous food, even more fabulous host.

One of, if not, the best pub for meals in the area. Food is superb, portion size is superb, and value is superb. Such a friendly bunch of people here, will have to visit again! Even has a bike rack in the massive beer garden for all those cycling the surrounding hills.

Lovely lovely pub, not too many of these left now locally. Well kept beer served by nice people situated in a rural spot. Stayed for a couple then walked down into Cookham to have a few more

Quote literally a legendary Sunday roast!

We visited for Sunday lunch. Small cosy restaurant. Excellent food!

Fantastic ambience, food, staff and management 👍

Amazing Sunday lunch! Best I have had out! Chef and pub staff made us feel welcome and valued. Also Guiness was properly poured and tasted great. I can't wait to go again.

Cosy pub with outstanding food and friendly staff. Had the mussels and beef roast which were cooked to perfection. Special thanks to Beth, Kieran and JP.

We held a family event at Uncle Tom's Cabin. The food was wonderful: tasty, beautifully presented and good value. JP and his staff were friendly and helpful and the open fire and tasteful Christmas decorations made for a wonderful atmosphere. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely pub.

Great country pub/restaurant. New owners have kept the theme very similar to before. Good Times, food and beer.

I'm reviewing on behalf of my Mother and Father in law who aren't online, and who asked that I leave a glowing review for them. They are frequent visitors to Uncle Tom's, and always recieve wonderful service, particularly this past weekend where they thoroughly enjoyed the delicious Sunday roast. The menu is varied and always tasty and the staff are always smiling and more than accommodating. After hearing my in laws views, I'm really looking forward to visiting with them in the future!

Superb Sunday lunch ! Everything we had from starters, mains to desserts were of truly high standards. Service was spot on staff very welcoming and great attention to detail.

Incredible food Michelin standard from the smallest kitchen!

Amazing Sunday Lunch and great for the dog too 😊

We went to Uncle Tom's Cabin to try their Sunday Roast and I have to say, it's one of the best I've ever had. The new chef had prepared some amazing starters, the kids loved their dishes, it's rare for mine to finish their plates but they were completely clean at the end! The roast meats were beautifully and evenly cooked, roast potatoes crispy and a mix of traditional veg and a puree was really nice. To top it off the puddings were satisfying. We will be returning to try the regular menu soon too!

lovely little pub, very cosy and a great atmosphere. The menu however was very limited with only 4 starters on the menu, 1 of which was 'off' the menu and 4 mains. Not being a Burger person or really knowing what celeriac fondants were I opted for the fish and chips. The fish was really beautifully cooked but the pea puree was luke warm and the chips were thin (McDonalds style) and not chunky as you would expect. A choice of only 3 desserts, 1 of which was Baron Bigod and had the description of Pear/Hazelnut/Crisp bread....who knows what that one was?? I skipped dessert... I think better descriptions against each item would be good plus maybe some allergy or dietary information on the menu would also be beneficial. The meal overall was okay but with such a limited menu I cant see that there would enough choice to temp me to return

Good food and a nice outside seating. The food was really tasty. We all had had a Sunday lunch and each of us had something different: Beef, Pork, Chicken and Vegetarian. All in all, the food was really good. Came out in OK time and most of the staff were quite pleasant. We were sat outside and it was nice to see the chefs having a good time on a hot Sunday afternoon. The three starts is due to some of the other staff. There were a couple of younger members who seems pretty disinterested in what they were doing, and what really disappointed us was that we saw her (blond hair, shorts) openly smoking/ vaping, and actually arguing with (who appeared to be) The Manager about where to smoke. Whether the patrons are smokers or not, I don't think anyone wants to see a member of staff openly smoking - Not even hiding around a corner.. As a non smoker, I may be wrong...?

We visit the pub roughly once a month and on this occasion had a superb meal, I would say of restaurant standard rather than typical pub fair, we had the sea bass with vegetables and a vegetarian pie. I though that the price was reasonable and it was nice to see that they source good quality produce too. Recommend

Nice place. Good food. Nice garden too.

Lovely atmosphere freindly staff and delicious food :)

Sunday Roast - overcooked yet managed to be cold as well. Most disappointed

A cozy pub but apparently very popular among locals with high quality live music

Delicious Sunday lunch served by a very friendly and welcoming team! Sensible prices and lovely atmosphere.

Great country pub, beautiful position, and look forward to visiting in the spring. Just been for Sunday lunch. Delicious big juicy prawns, and lovely tender beef.

This was our first visit but certainly not the last. Super food, great atmosphere and great service. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Our friends used to live locally and always used to come here and so we walked here for a lunchtime meal on a chilly day. We soonwarmed up with some warm hospitality and first class food. Yes, it’s also Maidenhead prices at £4.50 for a bottle of sparkling water, it’s only 20p less then a pint of beer hey, that probably makes the beer good value!

We popped in midweek lunchtime whilst out walking. Unfortunately it was closed, but the friendly, welcoming landlord allowed us to use his toilets anyway (as no public one’s nearby!) A kind and much needed gesture.

Quick stop on way to appointment and very pleased with standard if food and service. Well worth a visit.

7 of us having a belated Christmas catch up lovely meal very friendly staff varied menu . Very quiet but could have been because it was mud week and extremely cold. That would be my only little niggle that it was very cold where we were sat for meal

Lovely local pub with a warm atmosphere and open fires. Serve a mean fish and chips

We were staying in Cookham and we were looking at reviews and we choose to visit Uncle Tom's Cabin. We both had the fish pie. We were very satisfied with our meal and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We would recommend a visit to anyone visiting the area. It was a cold winter's night and there was a glorious fire to welcome you. We were at the front door at opening time so it was even more impressive that they were ready to welcome customers. We will certainly go back when we are in the area again.

Great little pub, lovely atmosphere and excellent all ales

Great location with well presented food (mains about £15) with a range of real ales in a lovely clean pub if you are in the area its a must. A real gem. If its nice sit in the rear garden

Delicious food, chef is great ! Enjoyed breaded Brie , haddock risotto then honeycomb cheesecake . Last minute booking but given vip service. Wonderful pub and great team . Thank you !

Brought some visiting family to UTC for Sunday lunch today and were not disappointed. Considering it was a ridiculously hot day, the service was friendly and relaxed, and we were pleased with the wine and menu choices. The portion of chicken Kiev was large but not dry, and the veloute sauce enhanced the meal. My husband declared the pork belly the best roast meal he’s had in a long time. For afters cheese and biscuits were plentiful, and cheesecake was rich and delicious as well. We all came away satisfied and realised we should dine at Uncle Tom’s Cabin more often.

Cracking little country pub, restaurant and beer garden

This used to be our 'local' when we lived in Cookham 20 years ago. Went back recently while passing through and it has the same feel - a real village pub. Has been redecorated a little, and the menu expanded and improved with correspondingly increased prices, but we had a really good meal and a decent pint!

Cute, quaint and good food and service.

Uncle Toms Cabin is an old English pub in the beautiful village of Cookham Dean. They have great food here, it gets very busy especially at the weekends so be sure to book if you plan on eating. There is also a very nice garden where you can sit and have your lunch while enjoying the sunshine. My only criticism would be that the beer selection is not very good and could do with having at least one craft beer added to the lineup.

Slightly quirky underground restaurant and bar. Food was good and young team were enthusiastic. Minor grumble in that menu descriptions need to be more accurate - for example cauliflower was served with cheese sauce which wasn't on the menu (it said served with seasonal vegetables) - a member of our party does not eat cheese (equally could have been dairy intolerant) so couldn't eat it.

Can't get enough of UTC!! Sunday lunch with family & friends becomes a olfactory feast! Husband & wife team of the highest order. Walk into the country pub and after being warmly greeted by Julie Blake.... Luis Blake always sends an amazing plate of food out of the kitchen for you! As another regular pointed out - if there had been a pattern on the plate I'd have eaten that too....

Good location, friendly staff, good home cooked food and good beer - what more could you ask for ? Keep going back for more.

Great place to have a drink country pub food and great outside garden staff always helpful and friendly

Great food lovely atmosphere and dog welcome.

Really disappointing. After reading the positive reviews, my girlfriend and I visited here on - Saturday 26 February - while staying locally. At 8pm, the restaurant was nearly empty and so lacked atmosphere. Not the establishment’s fault…. Our shared squid starter was lovely I ordered the (expensive at £24) rump steak to be cooked medium-rare. It arrived medium-well done. My girlfriend had linguine - which she enjoyed - but it went cold quickly. During the entire time we were eating, no member of staff asked if we were enjoying our food. I’d have raised these issues if so. We only the food because we were hungry. We declined dessert but my girlfriend requested a Tia Maria coffee…. Who knew this would be such a challenging request?! Firstly, she was brought a cold shot of coffee liqueur. Then a luke-warm coffee mixed with liqueur served in a wine glass! Even when paying the bill, the (I assume) manager didn’t even ask if we enjoyed our food. Obviously, no tip left. Overall: lovely place, average food, very poor service

Fabulous evening. Great food and service.

Nothing out of the ordinary. Welcoming friendly front of house/bar staff. Squid starter was apparently lovely, my ratatouille and goats cheese tart had lovely crisp pastry and the smoked salmon portion was generous . Cod in batter became hake in batter, which was not a problem and the batter was lovely and crisp. Apparently the risotto under the pan fried hake had an overwhelming taste of onion, so perhaps not softened sufficiently or there was too much, but certainly not cooked out enough .

Only one veggie mains. Hard risotto rice cake. Brittle where kept warm. No discernible taste, just compact rice rice in a round pattie with a tomato sauce. £14! Good service otherwise would be 1 star.

Another enjoyable meal.. great food as always.. friendly relaxed service.. good to see the restaurant and bar full of people..

What a beautiful and friendly place!! Just a separate 5 stars to the staff and chef! They welcomed my husband and myself as we are the family! Cooked the dinner for us, though the kitchen was closed few hours ago!!!! And the food was DELICIOUS!!!! The kindness makes this place SPECIAL!

Fantastic local pub with great food

A 'best meal ever' @ Uncle Tom's Cabin last night together with wonderful friendly service. An excellent restaurant who went the extra mile. South African friends giving a big 👍👍👍to Uncle Tom's 💕

It's been a good few days in the pubs around our local Maidenhead and this was no exception. Finally a pub with more than one ale (Timothy Taylor guests) and the food was not only good but excellent value. Chicken and ham hock terrine was one of the tastiest I've had anywhere, in season pheasant and partridge with a creamy butterbean casserole was tender and tasty (the Sunday roast beef was also one of the best around and much cheaper than most), and the sticky toffee pudding was the best I've had in 6 years. All in all, happy to be only 10mins drive away so look forward to a return visit! Oh, and the staff were very good and friendly too so happy days

Advertised as vegetarian and vegan friendly, visited on a Saturday evening, NOTHING vegetarian advertised on the menu, let alone vegan options. When I asked, staff could not promptly tell me any vegetarian option for the night, and after they went back to the kitchen to...

Good food served with a smile . Friends from South Africa were very impressed..

Good scenery nice garden pretty standard food

Reserved table for 3 for Friday, 20 August to be with my daughter visiting from Alpes Maritime and hoped I'd got it right. We were travelling 85 miles to meet her for lunch. I don't like "gastropubs". Many are pretentious, overpriced and you sometimes leave...

Visited several times, consistently good value. Above average food, friendly service and lovely pub with secluded airy garden.

Excellent food as always and friendly service. We have eaten here several times now and will keep coming back as food on offer is varied and all very tasty.

Visited for lunch back in April shortly after phase 2 restrictions were lifted which meant we could have lunch outside. Well organised and a good set up with seating in the garden and on the patio under a large gazebo. Very good friendly service and...

Last night we ordered fish and chips, fishcake and burger take away. WOW It was amazing. Very easy to phone and book with collection time. Arrived at allocated time. The pub looked lovely and welcoming with a roaring fire ( even though there was no...

We had a meal recently with friends and I can honestly say it was one of the best meals I had in a long time. Two of my friends had the lamb and said it was the best lamb they had ever had and was...

Sunday roast is one of the best I have ever had. The lamb was just amazing, you have to try it, but make sure you book well in advance. We'll be back!

Just what we needed. We try to go here once every few months and it never disappoints. First meal out in months and we left smiling. Lovely food that is deceptively simple. Flavours and seasoning absolutely on point. Very polite and professional serving staff. Covid...

Second day of opening .. really well organised. Food was great. Reduced menu but great choice. Lovely staff.. really enjoyable long lunch

Great food in a lovely atmosphere. Really lovely hosts. Ordered 4 delicious starters for two to get a good mix of dishes and loved each one! Large portions but we managed to finish them off. Definitely worth a visit.

Stopped by on a return visit to the village, I last reviewed this pub in 2010 and I think it's even better than before. The food was very good, a decent selection of beers and a lovely cosy atmosphere. Definitely a village pub; the locals...

Went on a recommendation and we weren’t disappointed . Great roll mop herring to start, enough for two people to share and the best roast beef I have had in a while, and plenty of it. Hot vegetables and gravy. All very fresh and enough...

5 of us went there recently and had Sunday roast and they were all delicious, 3 roast beef and 2 turkey, generous portions and all very tasty. Extra roasties were brought to the table (a very good idea!) squid starter was good as was the...

I took my mother out for lunch here. Lovely cabin with a beautiful decor. Unfortunately we were extremely disappointed with the food. I had been recommended the food here and thought it would have been an excellent standard. I initially wanted to order the Cannon...

We booked for 4 adults and one pup so eat in the pub area. Lovely table and setting. Cosy and friendly. Food was excellent and very generous portions. Staff great. Only negative is that we were near the small pub bar and it got very loud and so hard to hear each other and became annoying. Loved it though and will return, though hopefully at a different table.

We managed to get a booking for a Saturday night at this lovely pub. All 5 of us chose something different, and I have to say nobody was disappointed. From the starters to the puddings, the food is excellent. Confit of duck with bean casserole was amazing. The service was just right, as was the ambiance. Would definitely go again!

Omg starter and main for both of us has been so tasty i dont even need to wait for desert to place my review, will be coming back again soon

We had our wedding reception at the pub yesterday. The team were amazing. Nothing was to much trouble and the food by Luis was absolutely fantastic.The garden and patio area are a fabulous setting for a party. If you haven’t visited yet, you really should.

We had a very nice meal, well looked after by friendly staff. Definitely would recommend. Not a cheap but good value.

Tried this place for drinks and dinner recently whilst staying in Cookham. Only a small group of locals in the bar when arrived. Ordered a drink and took a look at the menu. It’s a smallish pub with seating in the front bar area, a small restaurant area to the back and then more seating in a decked area outside beyond which is a very nice garden space.

My husband, our three year old son and I enjoyed our dinner at Uncle Tom's Cabin. Service was excellent - friendly and attentive. My husband had the burger which he said is one of the best burgers he's ever had - high praise indeed! Our son also had the burger and ate quite a lot of it - unusual for him as the only time he only eats a burger usually is when it comes as part of a Happy Meal! I had the posh half roast chicken which was juicy and flavoursome.

Booked originally for two (plus pup), increased at short notice to 5 and had a lovely bright table. Interiors look lovely and garden has had a big face lift (not that it needed it) but much improved. Food excellent, staff helpful and friendly.

First of all, you MUST book if you are going at the weekend and at lunch time, this place gets really busy. They have just extended the outside eating / drinking area and it looks very good. I had the BBQ pulled beef burger and it was excellent. One of our friends had the roast and that looked great. When the place gets busy service can slow up a little but the good news is that it looks like they have brought on more staff. All in all our place to go to for lunch or a drink if you are walking in the area. There were three of us, we had some drinks a main and a sweet, £72, so not bad pricing at all.

We stopped here for an impromptu Sunday lunch, and had a great meal. Service was great, staff were really friendly. Food was delicious and came out promptly. We had the calamari and brie to start and both went for the cola ribs and they were so yum! Would definitely recommend. I would say this is more resurant than pub and would think it would be lovely for an evening meal.

In an area full of famous chef-led restaurants, this is a little gem, with reasonably priced delicious pub grub. Slightly better menu than the usual pub grub, with venison and beef cheek on offer, but good portions and very tasty. The staff are very friendly and the whole place has a lovely country atmosphere.

We booked at table for 5pm on Mother's day and had pre-ordered most of the meal (to make sure we got what we wanted - as we were so late in the day!). The food was excellent (as always) - the squid has never disappointed, Ham hock was great, the asparagus even more so! It was mostly roasts that we had - and they were all perfect! Great portions, loads of veg, extra gravy - everything was fabulous. The service was brilliant, the food was brilliant, a perfect Mother's day for the 11 of us! Thank you to all at UTC.

There were three of us and one well behaved Labrador (small variety) We had comfy seat in the bar area and we were served quickly. You must book and its best to check that there are no large parties descending at lunch time. We had the venison which was fabulous. The sweet has as ever excellent. As mentioned pick your time as the service can be a little slow, but always with a smile.

Lovely pub with great food, no airs and graces, just great service and fab food. Highly recommend a visit.

Our first visit and yet we’ve lived in the area many years and we’ll definitely be back.

Distinctly so so. 1st two choices of main course not available. Starter of goats cheese was a curious grey gloop & I rather wish I’d taken the incorrect starter first offered. Chablis at over £40 a bottle was in fact petit Chablis, served warm. Table was cramped. Sausages OK but Mrs didn’t enjoy steak and “cheap” chips. Service was friendly.

Great restaurant- duck exceptional, great atmosphere, good beers, friendly attentive staff - brilliant!!

Great food, really friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. The open steak pie is to die for and worth a 50-mile round trip on its own! This is just a really great place to go to eat or just to grab some refreshment. Highly recommended.

We love the food here as its always brilliant. Good quality and well cooked. The only complaint is that the service is very slow when they are busy. It will not stop us coming but it might put some people off. All in all highly recommended.

I frequently dine at Uncle Tom’s - a cosy, welcoming village pub with a great selection of beers, wine, gin and excellent food!

Got there at 1 o'clock the beer was warm and took ages to pour excuse was its the first pint , I had a guiness its the worst I have ever had warm my two freinds had lager which took about 10 minutes to sort out as it was our lunch break time was paramount the food was average . We try different places each week but won't be returning .

Lovely building, friendly staff but the food? Well, duck salad lacked any depth of flavour and was slated by 3 members of the party and the fish pie, though a good size and piping hot, lacked any fish or other flavour. Perhaps some herbs and seasoning or a drop of white wine in the sauce could have lifted above the distinctly ordinary. Squid dish was better.

We took my mother to Uncle Tom's Cabin for Sunday lunch together with our kids and my sister and brother-in-law. We were fortunate in making a late booking as there had been a cancellation, otherwise we would have struggled, given the pub's popularity.

We live 30 minutes walk away across the fields and past the local cricket club. The perfect summer evening is spent walking with the dogs up the hill to Uncle Tom's. Lovely dog friendly old pub, attractive garden, friendly staff, excellent beer and a well balanced wine list. What more can a country pub offer? Well, Uncle Tom's also has excellent, no nonsense, well cooked food. Dogs not allowed in the main restaurant, but who cares, there are tables which can be reserved in the bar, or weather permitting, tables in the garden.

This is a fabulous, cosy, rural English pub nestled between the rolling green hills and a great selection of tap beers (and a full harvest moon). My beloved and I bought my our mothers here for dinner and it was a wonderful evening. The environment was intimate and the staff were friendly and attentive. We all had different delicious dishes which were well received, but the Duck leg was absolutely brilliant. Enjoy.

I came with a friend and the dogs... the garden is lovely, the food was delicious.. but I can't get over the inappropriate naming of the pub... Maybe reading thebook would help the owner understand the offence the name can cause..

Visited with friends for dinner and a beer. The food was excellent and the beer good. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere well worth a visit.
