About the restaurant

The Loch & the Tyne is all about sustainable British luxury. The perfect countryside location for exclusive weddings, private events and country getaways.

We're a British pub in the countryside of old Windsor, offering a relaxed and cosy space where guests can pop in for a quick drink or retreat for the day trying out our list of local craft beers and wine. We very much celebrate English wines, both still and sparkling.

We offer British pub food, with a luxury approach. It’s a simple offering but showcases the
best of British produce. Our Sunday lunch is perfect to come and enjoy with friends and family (and
dogs are more than welcome too).

Beautiful presented afternoon tea. Range and quality of the food was outstanding. Staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. A wonderful treat for a celebration! The only criticism is the price of the water, which seemed excessive. Otherwise, the afternoon tea was good value.
