Waltham Place in Windsor and Maidenhead

My mother and I had a delicious lunch at Waltham Place. It’s a set menu and everything was delicious and the service very warm and friendly. We enjoyed a very informative and enjoyable 2 hour private tour (£40 total for a group of up to 4 people) by one of the estate’s very experienced gardeners, Tim. The gardens are stunning and set against the backdrop of the beautiful house. We had a fantastic afternoon and will definitely come back.

Original manor was built in 1634, but the history of the land dates back to 1086! A Tour of this magical place can be booked. Take good walking shoes, it has large tracts of land. A lot of educational research is taking place growing ancient grains, beautiful areas of landscaped gardens and various uses of up cycled materials. There is a restaurant on site and jams, seeds, pickles and more are for sale.

Not your usual restaurant in many respects: it is only open on a Wednesday lunchtime from about March until October; they prepare their dishes with produce from their own biodiverse farm; the menu is very limited but the service is very friendly. So, you will get delicious very local food, served in a friendly relaxed converted barn.

Reservé una excursión a los jardines con mi hijo bebé y padres (5 libras por cabeza con un té/café/squash incluido) como me hubiera conducido por un número de veces y decidimos Google algún día. No hay mucho aparcamiento, pero le da un bonito patio donde el café orgánico y aseos, tienda. Nos llevaron en un grupo pequeño de un jardinero entusiasta y experto (creo llamado Louise), que era muy dulce y amable. Llevé a mi hijo en el carrito y la mayoría de las zonas eran accesibles (sólo el bosque no era así esperé en un banco por 10 minutos o así). Los jardines son muy bonitos y muy impresionante, a pesar del hecho de que los jardineros son claramente desbordado. La tierra es una impresionante mezcla de paisajes y realmente yo no espero que esto no se vende fuera para vivienda u otros desarrollos en el futuro. Teníamos el almuerzo después de la excursión de dos horas (muy menú limitado - sólo carne de barbacoa, sopa o otro plato aparte de algunos pasteles); pero la carne estaba en un delicioso pudín y preparado muy bien. La presentación también fue muy agradable y había un servicio con una sonrisa. La tienda es muy pequeña y sólo las existencias de los productos que es fresca cada día, así que lleguen temprano si desea comprar cosas ya que se agotaba. Algunos chutneys y salsas con buen aspecto. Los baños estaban limpios, así que esta terminó siendo un día muy agradable. Un muy lindo y adorado tesoro local - Reserve una visita cuando la temporada está abierto.

We booked a tour of these private gardens, and a lovely gardener called Lin took us around. The gardens we saw on this 2 hour tour were amazing, and Lin was so informative and interesting and happy to answer our questions. No photography allowed though. The cost includes a tea/coffee or hot drink in the cafe, and we also bought lunch. Rather a limited menu and it was quite busy the day we visited. Quaint and delightful morning.

Recientemente hicimos una excursión a los jardines que sólo tiene lugar los miércoles para individuos y toda la experiencia fue excelente (es aconsejable reservar de antemano de antemano llamando 01628825517). Se mostrarán en pequeñas fiestas por uno de los jardineros que es muy amable, servicial y con razón apasionado sobre su trabajo, que están muy bien informados. Las excursiones lleva unas 2 horas y es sin duda vale la pena hacerlo. Después de la excursión disfrutamos de un almuerzo en el restaurante, que muy bien, y aunque el menú es un poco limitado la comida era muy agradable y el servicio llegó con una sonrisa sincera. También hay una pequeña tienda en la granja adyacente al restaurante.

you wont find better quality food in all of berkshire. I mean better quality in terms of how its grown. it's organic, biodynamic, theres nothing like it in berkshire, sad to say, wish there were more of these places, only open in may to september bit of a shame, its only down side is the barn where you eat had no garden views and is really cold unless you find a spot near the window in the sun, and it seems the owner of this place is old and tired, it lacks life and unfortunately does not attract me to it, i go there for their superior quality food and thats just how it is. Most of the paid employees there are lovely, as well as the volunteers, you can tell they have a vibrancy about them and also that they are under the thumb of the estate owner. it is a shame, and in my opinion a huge opportunity to have it as a thriving place lost.

This place is beautiful and so quintessentially British you feel like you've stepped back in time. A Farm true to its roots promoting only clean and organic living will truly change your mind on nasty shop food full of pesticides. You only have to try some bread and butter to tell the difference. Support your local outlets before its too late!

Recently visited the tearoom and farm shop at Waltham Place in White Waltham and was the food there is excellent as usual. All produce is home grown from the soups, bread and cakes on sale. The tea room is only open in the late spring and summer season (May to September) but well worth the visit. There is often garden tours running every Tue/Thu by appointment and other ad-hoc events (Walk with the Farmer, Special Interest Days, Seasonal Walks and Courses). We had soup and a fresh (and I mean fresh) salad, with coffee and a piece of cake. It was just lovely tasty food, all homemade. The setting is delightful too and plenty to see and do especially if there is an activity on that day. Just one word of warning, this is a private estate so strictly NO PHOTOGRAPHY onsite. Would recommend it and we plan to return very soon... Open from 10:00-16:00 Tue-Thu & 10:00-18:30 on Friday (there is a BBQ on Friday if the weather is good)
