eard rave reviews so thought we’d give it a go. Booked on the day, they put us in the bar area, fair enough it was short notice. But on leaving the restaurant still had many vacant seats. we were the only people eating in the bar amongst people just in for a drink. Felt a bit uncomfortable. The food was very good value. Husband had the famous fish and chips which was exceptional and enormous! I had the seafood linguine, which again was massive portion. The only issue was that there was so much pasta there wasn’t enough sauce to cover it, but as I ploughed through it it got tastier and tastier. Note to chef, less pasta or more sauce. The whole menu looked absolutely delicious! I actually couldn’t decide as I wanted it all! Our server Ella was amazing, so attentive and very friendly and helpful, she was a delight. I can’t wait to go back to have everything else on the menu. Good value all in all, huge portions and generally a delightful experience.

I do visit this restaurant occasionally but on two recent occasions, have been disappointed with the new young staff that wait the tables. I waited nearly 20 minutes for them to even take my food order, when they were standing around chatting. A more professional approach required. The food, however, is always excellent and the portions are very good value for money.

We chose the Windsor Castle Maidenhead from the internet, because of its location and easy parking. We did well. The service was excellent (thank you Callum) and the pub was nicely furnished and spacious inside. We particularly appreciated being able to hear each other speak. There was a good choice of fresh food - the fish and chips were pronounced 'the best this year' by our friend, and the seafood linguine was full of fish. The portions were very generous - perhaps a little too generous for us pensioners.

Excellent main dishes, really well executed, such as fresh seabass fillets, shellfish pasta, steak with amazing sauces (tried port and stilton and the peppecorn one). The dessert was great too, the cheesecake was really yummy and portions are nice and abundant. But most importantly, the staff were amazing! Thanks for your big smiles and welcoming attitude - I know staff are hired for this purpose, but you guys did an amazing job today and went above and beyond.

Only 1 type of rosé on offer but it happened to be a nice pinot grigio so that was ok. Had the vegetarian tart (which could easily feed 2 people!), the lamb special (cooked to perfection) and the veal escalope. The latter was tasty but too much butter for my liking ; it was literally swimming in butter. We shared the sticky toffee pudding which again was a huge portion. All in all a perfect meal was had. Will definitely go again.

Our first visit, and will probably give this pub another try as there were some positives: nice London Pride, a good Malbec wine and decent sized portions. The bruschetta starter had copious quantity of tomatoes and the prawn cocktail was similarly plentiful. The burger was very pleasing but the Veal Escalope was tough and overcooked in butter, making it very unappetising: two pieces of veal looked great on the plate, but quantity does not make quality - better meat and better cooking of a smaller amount would be more satisfying.Staff were very pleasant and keen to give a good account of themselves.

We met a friend here for lunch, the pub being ideally situated to where she was staying on a course she was doing. Both my husband and I had Chicken Caesar Salad, which had a huge thumbs up. The quantity was just right, the chicken was cooked to perfection, so succulent and flavoursome and the dressing was just enough, the dish was not swimming in it, thankfully. Our friend had prawns, salad and deep fried courgettes, she loved every mouthful. We sat outside in beautiful weather, but the interior was nicely appointed, very clean and the staff were extremely friendly, conscientious and attentive. All in all I would stop there again if we were ever in the area again.

My family went for mother’s day lunch last minute as we were let down by another venue. Firstly, the pub wasn’t sure if they could fit us in due to being very busy but told me they can set up a table for the three of us which they did and was perfect. We didn’t realise that the Mother’s Day menu was a set menu and asked to order from the main menu due to my little sister having autism and being very sensitive to food. The staff said that they were only cooking from the set menu so we couldn’t but once I explained the situation, the very helpful and polite barman went to the kitchen and arranged for my sister to have fish and chips. My little sister was very stressed and so were we as we completely forgot to check if there was an alternative menu before hand and this instantly put all of our minds at ease. All three of our meals were great but it was the service that really made our trip enjoyable- the staff very helpful, polite and attentive and went out of their way to help us. Very greatful and will be returning.

Ever so nearly a Gastro pub, but not quite. But certainly better than many of Maidenhead's pubs. Good for drinks with big beer garden (can be a bit noisy given the A4), and inside there is some bar seating but mainly seats are for diners. Beer selection includes Rebellion and usual pumps. Good menu is better if you stay basic (e.g. Fish and chips good), but some of the dishes can be pricey and disappointing. However, the pub is contemporary, service attentive and location good. As a result can get busy at weekends.

We met friends for lunch, and, at first, wondered if we'd arrived at the right place. It was a weekday but the place was empty. It is modern and clean. If anything the one guy that we saw while there was a little slow directing us to our seats, and taking orders. However, when the food came it was delicious. The fish my husband and friends husband had with their chips was huge and beautifully cooked. It was very reasonably priced (main, puddings and drinks just under £100) and there was plenty of choice on the menu. Perhaps we picked a slow day, or as they were advertising for staff they may have been tight for staff. It's certainly worth a visit for the food but maybe needed a little more atmosphere

Chose a table to sit at and was promptly brought menus and our drunk orders taken! I opted for the lasagne! I could not believe how big the potion was. It tasted very nice and sadly I was stuffed to the rafters and couldn't eat it all. Ordered chips as a side! Cooked to perfection and not greasy either. Lovely. Had tirasumi for pudding.

Then we sat next to a table with a kid in a high chair at 9.30 at night with a computer game playing very loudly. This is not good. I don't think I will be able to persuade my husband to go back again even for the lovely seabass. Mico please stop letting so many children in whose parents let them behave so badly.

I don't even know where to begin. This place is awful.I came here with a group of friends for lunch. We were told to 'be quick' because the kitchen was closing, (this is around 2pm on a sunday) we were waiting for around 30/40 minutes for the food to come out.I ordered the salmon. It was literally just a piece of salmon. £12.95 for one piece of salmon and a sorry little lemon wedge. It tasted awful too.I asked the bar staff for a refund and he said he'd bring me the manager. All of this was fine, neither the bar staff member or myself were rude.The manager was the worst part. Big man, late 50s/early 60s, glasses, storms over to us and demands 'Who has the problem?!' I explain that my food was not worth £12.95 for a slither of salmon.He starts raising his voice telling me he won't refund me, that I'm wrong to dislike it. My friends start to back to me up, as of course, this is an appalling way to deal with a complaint. He then shoves the menu in my friends face and says to her 'IT'S SALMON, WE GAVE HER SALMON' We said to him that maybe the bar staff should explain that nothing comes with it, to which a girl on the bar shouts across the pub 'I offered sides!' (she did not)The shouting at us continues and I said to him the customer service is awful, and his response was to SWEAR at me (bearing in mind we had a child at our table) by this point other people in the pub are all looking over. I was furious and had to leave, I could not believe someone that runs a pub was so clueless on how to do that.The whole experience of this place was shocking and embarrassing. I would not usually say this, but I fully urge people to eat and drink elsewhere.

We've been here a few times for drinks and for a meal. The food is simple but tasty and the service is quite quick. The wine is priced a bit high for the quality of the vintages they offer.

A kitchen disaster on Friday meant no home cooked fish so I looked up F&C in Maidenhead and came up with this place. It was a great find. This is a 'modern' pub with a good menu but we did go for the fish and chips which was really good. The portions were generous, the batter crisp and not fatty, the tasted clean and good. I would like to go back and try other dishes as this was a delightful experience. This place also seems to be a true 'local' pub with lots of families and small children and a nice friendly atmosphere. The service, from being met to being served was excellent and faultless. There is a small selection of wine by the glass.One more thing: on the outside the pub had a nice little garden and in the garden by the entrance there is a shrub of Daphne tangutica, very fragrant, in full flower which was the icing on the cake.

Have been to this pub several times and always surprised that it isn't busier. Menu is comprehensive and food always tastes great. Ordered Fish and Chips and Lamb Sank last time we went, and both came in good time and were generous and tasty.Would definitely recommend.

All I can say is thank you to the lovely owner and his helpful staff last Friday when myself and a friend were able to grab a table on a very busy Friday evening without booking. We had a drink in the bar and moved swiftly through the restaurant opposite a lovely small fireplace. Clearly the decor has recently been repainted and tables were immaculately clean. Service by a tall, young man impeccable and guided us through the menu and allergies for my friend. In regards to food we enjoyed some of the best lightly battered squid rings i've certainly ever tasted. I would advise in future that we book, but for certain we'll be back very soon.

Though your waistband might complain, this fish and chips due to it's sheer size is incredible value for money! Having bought two work colleagues in from London, I had warned them of 'monsters' and that's what we got - Perfectly battered haddock with beautifully cooked hand peeled potato chips. A credit to Misko and the team for a wonderful evening and no doubt there may be a few more from the office arriving next time.

I have been eating here with a group of friends once a month for several years. I have always found the food to be good value and well cooked. Fish and chips is a particularly good option - always very fresh and the portion is huge. I tend to have fish as it always seems to be very fresh and the chef is very good on tempura batter. King prawns are lovely and garlicky though a bit messy to eat.The menu changed at the beginning of the year making it a bit more expensive but I notice that some of the sandwich options at lunch time have found their way back.Its a nice atmosphere with plenty of room and a reasonable amount of parking. There is a chess table too.

Unbelievably slow service when we visited on Wednesday lunchtime. It wasn't busy when we arrived and we ordered two sandwiches and a bowl of soup. It took more than 45 minutes to arrive meaning we were more than an hour away from work. In addition the furniture is more than a little rustic, not sure if that's the look they were going for but the chairs are so scruffy. Just be careful on your way out as the step into the car park is deceptively big and one of my friends fell off it and hurt herself, mainly her pride but it was all a bit if a shock. I will not be returning.

I was staying in Maidenhead for a week and literally stumbled upon this place on the way back one night. Very happy I did.From the moment I got to the bar, it was very welcoming.. one of those places you just know is going to be good. The bar staff were friendly and I was quickly seated with a menu which was very good. I got 'sold' in to ordering the fish and chips. I saw two others come out before mine which looked superb. Mine quickly followed and it was amazing. The size of the battered fish was huge, the fish was perfectly cooked and the batter was crispy all round. The chips were the large 'triple cooked' type and while they were tasty I couldn't eat many.The sides were great too, all in.... easily in my top 10 pub meals. I'll go out of my way to eat here again.

Having enjoyed our last visit so much, we couldn't wait to go back again. This time we went with family, and had another very good meal. The landlord and staff are very attentive, and the food is excellent.

The Windsor Castle has been our local since moving to Maidenhead a couple of years ago. Coming from a town of not-so-nice places, it really showed us what a 'nice' pub was like. Food is always of a high standard, burgers are probably still my favorite in the area. Staff a friendly and welcoming always. Drinks are a little pricey and I wish there was some more variety in the ale selection. Decor is becoming a little worn, it could do with a refurb.All in all though it's still a solid choice and we enjoy going there.

Having lived nearby since 1994 we felt it was time for a visit. We went midday to avoid the crowds and at this time of year felt it would not be busy. We gift aided the ticket price so will be able to visit the parts closed today, one of which is the Dolls house.As we walked in we saw there is a free guided walk around the precincts which we took advantage of. The guide doing this was very friendly and actively encouraged questions. We learnt a lot about the castles history, the Knights of the Garter and much more. After this we entered the castle and were most impressed. The parts of the castle damaged by the infamous fire have been restored to an impressive standard, the George Hall especially so. The paintings and artefacts in the rest of the castle are very interesting especially if you know a reasonable amount about English history. I think the chapel was the highlight for me especially the choir section, as you leave it look both ways and those two views will be with you for a very long time. There are also a few famous resting places of kings and others to hunt out also. I would say the Albert extension of the chapel is not to my taste, it is an excellent example of Victorian design and architecture however. In summary a great visit, the audio guides are good and there are plenty of toilets about and all the staff are friendly, knowledgable and helpful. In their words they don't want to be seen like wallpaper, ask them questions!

I have been here many times, the best time to go is when the state rooms are closed and you get your ticket converted to an annul pass for free and it saves a lot of money, i live about 2 hours away so can visit 4 times a year : )Very good value for money

Long wait for the food. Tough over cooked , tasteless pork loin. All served on a cold plate. Food and drinks all overpriced. One of the worst meals I have eaten in some time!

We had a look at local restaurants and decided to try the Windsor Castle as we had not been in a while. We were greeted at the bar by a pleasant young chap and invited to sit at a table . The table was nice old pub style with a sanded top, nice. Looked at the menu, we decided to share the tempura prawns , they came in a fair time , tasted fine , but left oil in the bowl,nice side sandal and dressing. The mains , my wife ordered the salmon fish cakes and chunky fries. The fish cakes were not really that good. Didn't taste very fresh and we're bit stodgy, they finish of the dish could have been greatly improved with just some fresh parsley. The chips that came were not chunky fries so they went back . To be fair replacement arrived quickly. I had a rib eye steak asked for it medium rare , more medium well to be honest. It wasn't tough but not great quality taste was bit lacking. I had mashed potatoes with mine, this was seasoned with black cracked pepper,trouble is bit to much and had plenty of hot moments throughout the afternoon. As the mash and I think the chips were extra cost not good value. So all in all ..... average maybe below , the toilets in the gents had no lock on the door! Probably won't be back for quite some time. There are lots of better restaurants about.

I hadn't been in the Windsor Castle for over 30 years, but should have gone back sooner. The food is wonderful - great steaks. What used to be my local pub is now much more of a restaurant. Service and atmosphere were both good.

It's a lovely pub, but the drinks and the food are relatively over priced for what it is.Been a few times and like it's atmosphere, range and choice... But seem to spend the same when in the expensive pubs in very central London.Do go, but be aware of the cost.

Nice here and the bar staff know their stuff, so it's more pricey than your standard drinks. But happy hours run frequently so good value if bought then. Lovely mix of different flavours, well blended. But when empty there is no one, and when busy it's crowded so hard to get the right time :) favourite stop before a meal though!!

We went for afternoon tea which was lovely, it's a beautiful place to see with lots of history. We were asked if we would like champagne but didn't realise this was not included in the set price we had paid also a service charge is expected
