The service was exceptional from the moment we arrived. We were talked through each of the cooking areas and offered advice and additional information on each dish. At no point did we feel rushed and the atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. The food was incredible and there was a good variety of dishes. Thank you for a wonderful evening, we can’t wait to go back!

About the restaurant

Bombay Story is an informal, modern, genuine Indian kitchen; the concept is based on the highest quality Indian street and home cooked food. Salads, grills and breads feature in a short, but well thought out, versatile all-day menu.

Bombay Story perfectly designed to pivot between being a dine in, takeaway or delivery service business.

Windsor

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).

Lovely ambience, staff attentive and welcoming. Steaks were mouthwateringly delicious, if a little pricey. Definitely coming back next time we are in Windsor.

From the moment you arrive at Monkey Island to when you leave everything is a lovely experience. A view of the Thames from your table, pleasant staff, extremely fresh food, with attentive staff; even the young lady who cleared the table was friendly and smiling. I will be back again when I am in the area; thank you Monkey Island.
