Lovely food for kids and adults and a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Delicious steak and side and the kids loved their burgers and garlic bread. We could have done with a few more simple vegetable sides on the menu / salad option, but otherwise a really lovely meal out. Thank you!

Yattendon

About the restaurant

A rural public house serving local beers, Berkshire gin and ciders, as well as a great wine selection. Bar snacks and full meals available 7 days a week. Cooking over a central grill makes for great theatrical cooking from our open-plan kitchen, overseen by Head Chef Nick Galer.

Whilst a subtle Basque feel will permeate throughout, its roots are firmly founded on those of a classic English pub – so while featuring top end Basque dishes fit for a destination dinner, it also offers simple pub snacks for a light lunch… while the food may be inspired by the Basque country, the ingredients are local… and while the wines may be sourced from Iberia, the beer is very much English.

The crowning glory is the sensational open kitchen, with a huge, CHARCOAL FIRED parilla grill and a BRICK OVEN as its centrepiece and all in front of the guests – very visual and very theatrical.

The Pot Kiln has been a really exciting project, and we’re thrilled to be finally open.

Maidenhead

About the restaurant

Situated on our very own island, we’re very fortunate to benefit from Maidenhead’s finest al fresco dining and drinking spot, where everyone is welcome.

Eat, drink and indulge, from classic gastropub favourites to modern, healthy dishes – and weekend blow-outs from our chefs’ specials that make an occasion memorable.

True hospitality is about making you feel you’re at home away from home. We cherish our regulars, but are just as welcoming to first time visitors, so if this is your local, don’t be shy in recommending us to your friends. We’ll give them a peachy welcome too!

From a decent flat white, to a great value lunch, an indulgent treat to a well-made cocktail, there’s always a reason to visit.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

About the restaurant

Join us in our glorious riverside location and enjoy exquisite French food in the heart of Windsor. Fancy lounging in the sunshine watching the boats go by? We have plenty of outdoor seating on the riverside, as well as a balcony for those extra special views. With Windsor and Eton Riverside station just a stone's throw away, and Windsor train station less than a ten minute walk, we couldn't be better placed in town. So after a trip to Windsor Castle, Eton College, or a leisurely peruse of the independent shops, why not join us to sample our superb menu of exceptional French food and wine?

The restaurant seated us at a lovely table by an open window with views of the river. The food was very good especially the Salade Nicoise. Service was disappointing. Why don't waiters tell you what is off the menu before letting you choose and then tell you? The staff member did not show any initiative such as asking whether we wanted more water when the carafe was empty or asking whether we wanted the wine poured when we already had other drinks rather than just start to pour? Friendlier service would have been appreciated. Maybe the section away from the bar did not help the service levels but it was not great. There was an overcharging mix up with the bill but it was quickly resolved. Perhaps more staff are needed? Management need to consider this.
