About the restaurant

Here, at Sonning in Berkshire, our hotel and restaurant sits by The Thames, at the point where the river is at its most beautiful.
Walk into the cosy bar and you’ll be greeted by a French Horn tradition, the sight of ducks roasting in front of an open fire. Everything is as it should be in this family-owned English institution, run by the Emmanuel family since 1972. Life is good here.
Our Head Chef Josiane Diaga and team select the best seasonal ingredients and treat them with respect. Honest, classical dishes are complemented by a carefully curated wine cellar which, for example, features wines from every Burgundy village. Service is impeccable and the dining room one of the prettiest on the Thames.

A wonderful restaurant with the friendliest staff I've encountered for a very long time. The meat was amazing and cooked to perfection, by far the best steak I've ever had in Berkshire and maybe all of the UK. The atmosphere and decor is nice and cosy. It's an independent restaurant with staff that really cares. I went for my birthday but will definitely go again, many times! If you like meat, I can't think of a better place to go.

About the restaurant

You’ll find Plate at No. 6 down a cobbled lane in the heart of Windsor, nestled amongst the pubs and boutiques of the old town. We are a tapas restaurant, drawing upon the culinary riches of the Mediterranean Basin; our plates reflect the diversity of cuisines found in Spain, Turkey, France, Morocco, Italy, Greece and Lebanon. All our dishes are created by our head chef Olindo who draws on these inspirations his signature dishes including a seafood gnocchi.

The open kitchen and lime wash walls define the chic, intimate dining space of Plate at No.6. Our famous Mediterranean warmth and relaxed ambience welcomes work mates and first dates, quiet drinks, and family celebrations.

A selection of wines have been selected by Sicilian sommelier and Italian wine expert Virgilio Gennaro and cocktails are designed by Regan Fernandes to compliment the fresh, coastal flavours that will revolve around seasonal and local availability. The only thing you’ll find in our freezer will be ice cream.

I booked Plate at No 6 on the back of all the positive reviews on this site and others. We were not disappointed. The restaurant is tucked away on a charming side street very near the castle entrance. The food was fresh, beautifully presented and delicious, and the service outstanding. We received a wonderful, warm welcome from the manager (or more probably, the owner(?)), who talked us through the menu and helped us to order. Clearly, his warmth is also felt by the staff because towards the end of the menu they surprised him with a cake - it was his bbirthday. He is clearly proud of his team, and rightly so, because they have created a really lovely place to eat.

Adam’s take on a traditional British pub, The Loch & the Tyne is open 5 days a week, from Wednesday to Sunday.
The pub offers a relaxed and cosy space where guests can pop in for a quick drink or retreat for the day trying out the thoughtfully-curated list of local craft beers and wine. We very much celebrate English wines, both still and sparkling.

I booked this for a family dinner and was not disappointed. We were warmly greeted at the door and shown straight to our table. It was very busy but the service was superb, all the staff were very helpful and pleasant. The menu was perfect, no endless choices, options that allowed a great selection for us to enjoy. Having been to Argentina earlier this year we felt the food was a great reminder of the food we enjoyed during our stay. Highly recommended and we will go again for sure.
