The best restaurants serving British food in Sunningdale Windsor and Maidenhead South East

Without question the food here is creative and nearly everything we had was very good indeed. The design of the restaurant was also lovely and staff were welcoming and courteous. However, having sat down at 7.30pm it was close to 11pm when we had to ask for the dessert treats to be boxed up to take away….everything was so painfully slow. If we hadn’t have said anything we would have been well over 3.5hours which spoilt the experience for us.

This is my second time at Coworth Park for afternoon tea. I booked the festive tea so we could experience the carol singers. Sadly the entire experience was quite bland and disappointing. This is the second restaurant this Christmas where we have had to wait for our table beyond our reservation time. The layout of the drawing room is all wrong and they haven't made the best use of the space. My partner was basically looking at a closed door for the two hours. If he wanted a view of the tree or pianist he had to turn around and have his back to me. It would have made more sense for the huge tree to have been placed where we were sat and our table to be where the tree was. The room itself is very bland with minimal artwork and a poor layout of furniture. Another reason I chose coworth was for the fireplaces. Neither were on during our tea and we're blocked by seats so could not be seen. This adds to the cosiness but sadly were not in use. The carol singers would pass from room to room which was not really ideal and appeared very messy. The pianist was playing but with many many breaks so it seemed like he was only there for a short period of the tea. The food itself was ok, I've been to Dorchester and the sandwiches are much better. The fillings were bland and not tasty at all. We had booked a champagne tea. We were half way through our food and I realised that we had not been offered the champagne so I had to ask for it. As for the tea, most places leave the teapot on the table so you can refill your cup but the waitress put it on another table. We had to wait ages to get her attention and by the time she refilled my cup it was almost cold. It was a very disappointing experience and my partner and I both agreed that we will not return. We have many choices in this area and I chose coworth due to the good experience we had last year. Sadly it has changed this year and I will choose another venue for my next afternoon tea. The standard has slipped considerably and I think it was a waste of money. I also think that the afternoon tea trays are not practical, the waitress put ours in the middle of the table and I could not see my partner so had to move it.

We had a delightful dinner at Kemptons in Sundridge Park. The food was delicious, especially the coq au vin, which I highly recommend. There are also great menu options for children. Annemarie, was attentive and friendly, making for a very pleasant evening.

Good place to watch the Football Midweek, nice Shisha at affordable price with proper metal pipes.
