The Duchess of Cambridge Pub in Windsor and Maidenhead

Great food in the most touristy location. Would recommend Wagyu burger and pies.

Really poor experience. Starters were dumped on the table at the same time as main course. Food was very mediocre and music was too loud. Tables were sticky so obviously not cleaned after each seating of clients.

Food was warm just microwaved to heat it up attitude of staff very rude sat down and ordered food and then 10 minutes later was told table was reserved and had to get off the table in 45 minutes but it was not reserved when we sat down

Great food and service. Staff very pleasant 😊

Amazing place to go. Please get more bar staff

Awful service, came in to order a cocktail and was told not serving cocktails. Bizzare for a pub/bar.

Amazing Pub with delicious food and 5 star service, special thanks to (if I remember correctly) Joanna Gaweda really sorry if I butchered your name, she provided us with exceptional service for instance she offered us local Beer tasting which was excellent and unexpected then we asked if there's anything particular she would recommend for dinner and without any hesitation she offered their traditional Fish & Chips as well as Steak Pie I had a Pie and partner had Fish, that was one of the best pie's and fish and chips we ever had, and all credit to amazing Joanna that's super positive, fun, energetic and amazing service provider. Thank you and definitely will be back again

My wife and kids went for lunch today but what an anticlimax, miles below par, nachos terrible, dry nachos without melted cheese around a tiny bowl of grated cheese, random kidney beens, salsa and sour cream mixed together, a child could of put this together, a plate of six chicken strips, ham egg and chips, 2 lemonades and a medium wine, mugged off for £60 plus and a rude waitress to boot, merry Christmas to you too!

Joanna was our fantastic server. In spite of being extraordinarily busy, she was very attentive and ensured we were well taken care of. The fish & chips and sticky toffee pudding were exceptional and are a must-try. Will certainly come back here next time we are in Windsor.

Fabulous lunch with family, good atmosphere & great service from Joanna. We'll definitely be back again. Thanks & merry Xmas

The best Sunday roast of my life, along with the finest Guinness and desserts. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the gentleman who served us, but he ensured we were happy and having a good time. Thank you 🙏

Great pub 1st visit,will be back.Had the veggie pie and mash was delish....Really good vibe on a Saturday evening.

Always a nice welcome with a smile on their face.

Nice place for lunch after visiting the Castle. Great ambiance and service. Wonderful burger and beer. And very quick service in spite of being busy. Kids menu was perfect for our 3 young ones. Plenty of food and reasonable prices.

Had a couple of cocktails and the baked camembert to share which was lovely. The staff were friendly including a great member of the team who was clearing tables and bringing out food wish I had caught his name as he was an asset. Atmosphere is cosy without being cramped and the Christmas decorations were up which made the place feel very festive.

Joanna did an extremely good job. She took care of us. All the time with a beautiful smile.

Nice pub , with very welcoming staff.

Had an amazing time at The Duchess of Cambridge on Friday night, Sarah and the team were amazing! We had loads of cocktails which were first class! The pub was decorated ready for the Christmas season and full of festive cheer; Thank you for a great night we will be back again very soon!

The best fish & chips we’ve ever had! Super fresh, crispy and tasty! Staff were also really nice!

Ola was so friendly and helpful! We had their first mulled wine of the season and it was fabulous! They make their mulled wine from scratch rather than just dumping a bottle in a pan and warming it. SO DELICIOUS!!!

Amazing venue!!! We booked a table for 12x adults and our 1yr old son for my mums 70th Birthday. We had a mixture of mains and each one was delicious. The staff couldn’t help us enough and were extremely friendly, they even let us cut our own birthday cake up and have that for dessert. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough and we would definitely return next time we visit Windsor. Thank you 👍👍

Firstly a nice pub in Windsor, there’s where the pros end. We had one person with a dairy allergy and there was no dairy free meat option, instead there was a vegan tart I would not recommend at all. The broccoli was wet, stringy and soggy, potatoes flavourless, gravy mediocre, cauli cheese loads of cheese but no flavour, pigs in blankets burnt to a crisp. Great pub if you wish for drinks just not a roast. Service extremely average.

I love this pub, it's beautiful and staff is cheerful! I love Martin's cocktails, his margarita is my favourite of all!

Had an amazing Lamb pie with veg, best pie I have ever tasted (seriously that good). Great service, warm and welcoming, just like the atmosphere. Sticky toffee pud with both custard and ice cream was recommended by waitress and was spot on. Great place to eat anytime but we went before theatre show in Windsor. Been a number of times - great view of castle and video show on tower in December. 5 stars

Really disappointed with the cocktails, £11 for PornStar Martini that is a bad bulk premix, then a Margarita that is no better. Sorry but for these prices, they should make cocktails that taste as they should. Besides the whisky tastes like it is watered down. Not impressed and not a customer to this place.

Great food, great atmosphere and brilliant service from Lee.

Lovely pub at the heart of Windsor Castle. Friendly and welcoming service. Lovely Alexandra recommended the baked camembert and I can safely say it’s the best I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend and visit again when I return to Windsor!

Lee our server was friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful. Food was great and we hope to return very soon.

Visited Tuesday 29/11/24, we were returning family to Heathrow so always stop off for a bite to eat in Windsor , we all ate Fish ,&chips with a beer , staff were amazing and the food absolutely delicious, and two off our party were chefs

Great English pub! Tristan offered a warm welcome, service and food first class…

It's a pretty new pub, but the atmosphere is still very good. You don't get that new gastro bar feeling, which is a good thing. Also another positive thing, when we sat down with our family, the staff came and gave our kids som drawing stuff. Family friendly pub indeed, as well they had their own kids menu. The negative things. I ordered bangers and mash. The bangers were dry and cold. Tasted like they were leftovers from the day before. Everything else about the meal was fine. Also the selection of ales and ciders was not very good. The ales I had, not top notch and the selection was not very big. Will I visit this place again? Maybe, it depends.

Amazing food and our waiter Lee provided outstanding service throughout the night. I would highly recommend this pub/restaurant. I had the best fish and chips and my partner had the steak and ale pie which he said was one of the best he’d eaten! Thank you Lee for your service - a true asset

Food is nice. The young boy and girl staff are really friendly too. Really friendly thank you for the staff. But sorry that there is an old lady with black hair and glasses who is rude. I question that maybe she is racist since she ignored me standing in front of the desk and helped to order for the girl standing behind me. Seriously please be kind to everyone. I brought parents to this pub not for your attitude.

We had a chicken and a beef roast. We ordered at the bar and 5 mins later the food arrived. The quickest roast ever! Unfortunately, the potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were dry. Clearly they has been put under a heater to keep warm for some time. In my opinion, not worth the price at all.

real5 Networking Windsor & Maidenhead held our monthly business networking event at The Duchess of Cambridge on Friday 18th October. We had visited this venue before and knew it to be good value with excellent food and hospitality. It did not disappoint this time. The front of house team of Ola, Alicja, Sarah and Daisy were so welcoming and helpful, while the food produced by the chefs Rob and Lukasz was both plentiful and delicious. Would thoroughly recommend The Duchess of Cambridge and the team for anyone who wants great food, hospitality and atmosphere.

Great Sunday roast, good choice if meats, served fresh and hot. Service is excellent and add to the experience. Will be back soon!!

10/10 would recommend. Lovely service from Alexandra who was very good and efficient. Will definitely return when back in the area. Definitely worth a visit when visiting Windsor Castle

Great experience at the pub! We were greeted and seated promptly! The order came so quick and the portion size was amazing! Think we ordered too much as I did not expect the portions would be quite as large! Definitely recommend. Atmosphere was amazing and the location is just superb for when you are coming for a day out in Windsor!

Lovely pub situated in the heart of Windsor. Great food, decent portions and good value for money. As expected with the location it does get busy however, this was not reflected on the service. All the staff were friendly and welcoming especially our waitress Alex. Alex had great knowledge of the area and made a few recommendations to make our visit at Windsor one to remember! Even going above and beyond, helping us book our tour of Windsor castle. We wouldn't have managed without her. Thank you Alex you absolute star! 🌟

Had a really great meal here a couple of weeks ago. Great food although a little on the warm side rather than hot but this was really quickly dealt with. The lady who looked after us was fantastic. I think her name was Emily, apologies if this was wrong.

Don’t bother food is less than average and premises is run by children

A bustling pub but the food and service were spot on so got lunch without delay. I'm not usually a burger fan but the Wagyu burger was delicious

The claim of serving the best British fish & chips is an overstatement—the fish wasn’t even fresh. We also ordered a wagyu burger, priced around £17 or £18 (I can’t recall exactly), and it was truly disappointing. Will not visit again.

Excellent food. Excellent service. We managed a walk in, but was getting busy as we were leaving. Might be worth booking.

Really really really friendly people and awesome food! Thanks for the stay. Greetings from Germany

Food was awful. Potatoes and rice were definitely microwaved. Potatoes were rubber. Rice was cheap microwaved rubbish you'd buy from supermarket. Meals were tasteless. Nearly £70 for two mains, two sweets and two juices. Second worst meal we've ever had.

The Sunday Roast was excellent which worked well with the local beer! Our waitress Aleksandra was very helpful in sorting out everything for us after the delay with our drinks and miscommunication with the kitchen regarding the pre-order Roast. We will definitely return to try the pie of the week.

Great pub to enjoy after touring Windsor Castle. Alessandra, our server, was wonderful and the items she recommended were great. The fish and chips and the Pie Tasting Plate are a must do!

My family and I had dinner the day we arrived to Windsor and loved it so much that we returned for lunch the following day. I highly recommend it.

We (3 adults) had the pleasure of being looked after by Kristin. He had that rare blend of hospitality, yet not at all bothersome. When next visiting Windsor, we will be happy to try another delicious dinner .

Great options for allergies specifically gluten free

Staff rude... Food was microwaved... I even had to pour my own beer... So much for english hospitality... Do not go there..

Was away with partner really fancied a Sunday lunch call in to the duchess. Omg!!!!! Wow the customer service was spot on and staff were friendly . And the lunch was so tasty and satisfying. Great value for money would vist again

Fish and chips are all right. Claiming this is the best of British fish and chips is a big call to make. We’ve definitely had better. Service is OK but nothing special. Atmosphere inside is good, except for the choice of thumping music which somehow is not befitting the establishment. Overall, this is forgettable.

We came across this by chance. Unfortunately, they had sold out of meat pies. Fortunately, the curry was very good. Tables were clean and staff were friendly.

Staff lovely cleaned tables quickly so we could have clean table asked if we wanted water for the dog. Food nice

A busy Windsor pub, nice decor, great customer service from Joanna who was very friendly and accommodating, a great embassador for the company, food came quickly, and was very tasty, highly recommend a visit

Nice cocktails and friendly staff.

Great little pub and great drink choice

Great food, clean restaurant, friendly staff, fair prices. Lots of variety in the menu and nice size meals too. A perfect eatery right next to Windsor Castle,

Had run out of roasts so ordered a pie. The pie that arrived was not the one I had ordered and they then told me they had run out of that one. Asked me if I’d like to order something else but by this time my of my party had nearly finished their meal. Overall a bit disappointing but might be better on a less busy day.

We live local and have been coming to this pub for years. We loved the choice of ales, the food and the ambience. Unfortunately all has suddenly changed for the worse. Out of all the ales taps on show only one was available and it wasn't very nice. The staff looked like they couldn't be bothered and when dinner came it was a real disappointment. I went for the steak and ale pie which is what I normally get. It used to be a big fluffy pastry pie with loads of meat and plenty of chips and gravy. This time it was a tiny pie not much bigger than your average pork pie. It wasn't very hot and there was only about 8 chips with hardly any gravy. Needless to say the price has gone up by about 20%. I won't come back here again, which is a a shame because it has been a good pub for years. It seems to be the same story in hospitality nowadays, the minimum wage keeps going up which doesn't make anyone better of because everything in life goes up with it, and the service gets worse and worse. It seems like staff want big wages but don't want to work for it. Extremely disappointed.

An ideal place for lunch in Windsor. Very good casserole pies!

Awful miserable barmaid,awful scruffy indefferent attitude who was in charge.Will never go back.Used to be a nice place.Don't bother with this place go somewhere nicer.

A good find for a nice pub lunch. With steps it's not really accessible friendly but lovely place, good service and very nice food, steak pie was great

Could not be less welcoming. We were told we could it even borrow chairs from empty tables to sit down with zero charm or civility.

Extremely rude and unwelcoming. We sat in an empty restaurant for a quick drink with our 3 children and were told we were not allowed to move 2 chairs to allow us all to sit down. The children then sat ourside and were asked for Id as they were sitting 3 metres away from us. Horrible and unpleasant experience from a rude waitress. Very sad as I grew up in Windsor and expected more.

It started with a smile ... but then went wrong ! Menus looked they were just dried on a radiator !... Sat in the 'waitress service' area with 2 other tables of 2 people so not busy ! . Waited for attention to order drinks... 3 cocktails = but as my 19 year old had no ID so she had a coke, which was totally understandable... Then proceeded to wait 30mins before we decided to leave as there was no "waitress' ... We decided to leave... but got charged for the 3 cocktails ... so we went back to ask for a refund for the difference of a cocktail to a coke ... It was commented that I had an attitude (which I heard!!!!) Guy with bleached hair (didn't get his name) obviously didn't like someone asking for their money back!!! Shame !!

We had booked a table 2 weeks in advance for 11 people. It was all self service as told we were not in restaurant. Disappointing why thet didn't put us i. Restaurant. My mum is gluten free and a simple ham, egg & chips meal was not available. She ended up with egg & chips only. Not good

During a recent trip to Windsor and after a long day of walking & sightseeing I was really looking forward to a Traditional Pub Meal in this well known local Pub. I was sadly very disappointed , the prawn cocktail starter was ok although had to ask for butter for the chargrilled sourdough bread , the main course of steak & ale pie with chips and veg was terrible , pie was dry and I had to ask for gravy which I think was meant to come with it , the gravy tasted like the packet bisto, chips were oven chips and the green veg soggy and tasteless , I left the majority of the food ( after a few chips and some of the pie as I was starving ) I did inform staff that my main meal was poor , I was expecting to be offered at least a partial refund which was not offered , the food was not cheap approx £8.50 for the starter and £17.50 for the pie and chips . Definitely not good value , I had eaten in a Thai restaurant previously and a Brasserie for around the same price both of which served delicious food freshly cooked . The Pub itself is very quaint and I would visit again for drinks but sadly my experience would put me off eating in there again .

We went to see Windsor Castle on Saturday 29 June. Decided to go for dinner before returning to our airbnb. We saw the Duchess of Cambridge pub on the opposite side of the road, and decided to try it. The atmosphere was very friendly and the service prompt. I chose wholemeal scampi and my partner had Ham, Egg and chips. The meals arrived quickly, and was absolutely delicious. It was a hot day, and we were also given an iced bottle of water and glasses. The staff were attentive, and the prices were very reasonable. The music played was very acceptable too. The seats were comfortable, which was great as I have mobility issues.

Called whilst visiting Windsor Castle across the road. Service was quick, and the food of good quality and quantity . Toilets very clean.

We stopped here after visiting Windsor. Good service and everyone enjoyed their meals as it hit the spot after touring. Would recommend stopping for a bite and refreshments.

Went to this restaurant while visiting London. Great location within the town right next to Windsor Castle. Both food and service were good.

Called in today for lunch having decided to visit Windsor on our way home from London. The Pub looked inviting, clean and the menu had a number of meals to choose from. The young man at the Bar was friendly and helpful and put in place everything that was asked for. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Two half chicken roasts, one Pie and a Nachos. Very tasty and a good size portion. Would happily eat here again if in the area Thank you.

Staff were so rude and judgemental, awful experience.

Excellent atention. You order your food at the counter, pay and in a few minutes it is on your table. In addition, the dishes have good flavor. Highly recommended!

Excellent food. Wander up to the bar for service. Server gave us a blank look when we asked for HP Sauce, even though the restaurant serves roost beef.

Excellent bangers and mash with buttered greens and half a grilled red onion. Service was friendly and food came out promptly. Place is clean and vibe is chill, with a wonderful playlist/soundtrack. As a tourist I found many places rated far less often than I like, but this place stood out. There's a good reason for that. Adding my review to this.

Service not good at this place, from younger staff made us feel unwelcome. Food was average no real taste or flavour steak sandwich the steak was really tough

Terrible service Me and my friend came into the seating area whilst staff were just staring at us, we then approached a waiter and asked about seating and they said to look outside. Due to the rain we went up to a lady behind the bar and asked if the tables could be wiped down from rain, she then proceeded to hand us some loo roll. Not once did they speak to us or approach us and we essentially had to serve ourselves. Drinks were good. Food was average .

I've been here a few times now, the pub has a good selection of food and drinks, friendly staff and a welcoming environment. Will be visiting again soon

The food was fine and the staff were nice. The location was great, though.

Nice town centre pub opposite the castle. Bit too touristy and too many kids but if you pick the right time of day I'm sure its nice. Didn't eat.

There was a sign when we entered that says the best pies but nothing on seating. My colleagues and I entered gingerly and looked around before we found a table, to realise the table next to us, the staff were just seated there at one of the tables, looking at us trying to find ourselves a table. It was over a bank holiday. Next, we had an issue with ordering as an item had an error. I waved for the only lady (one of the 2 seated at the table earlier) who was behind the counter for help. She looked at me nonchalantly saying 'No, order via your phone' and looked away. Again, she refused to come over to my table again after I raised my hand about our dessert even though we completed our dinner for a good 30min. We had to walk over to remind them about our orders. I'm very appalled by the staff, especially the female staff's non existent service. The pies are good but nope I would rather eat less tasty pies elsewhere next time. I hope the management reads this and consider their staff choice and training.

Very nice Sunday roast and espresso martinis.

I took a couple of international workmates here as they were craving some British pies and of course this place has a great reputation for them. Sadly the experience just wasn’t good. We wanted to order with staff but were just pointed to order at table on app by a very disinterested staff member. This was awkward for us as the workmates weren’t from U.K. and had to go through registering their company cards. The pie tasters option had an error but we had to try and grab the disinterested staff members attention who wasn’t helpful or offered suggestions and just said we had 1 left. We ended ordering individual ones and split them ourselves. Our starter came with our main meal. Our desserts we ordered were forgotten about so after a while we had to chase them up. The custard on mines had a skin on it and the ice cream had pretty much fully melted. We were never asked if we wanted more drinks. The pies were actually tasty and good. But the service was awful sadly and overall experience just not great.

Very welcoming and very good fresh produce, I recommend

Nice food & service, but not special.

Good menu with a lot of variety. Tikka with chicken and pie sampler with mash were both EXCELLENT and hit the spot after a long morning touring Windsor Castle. Kid’s menu had good options too. Tap water served with ICE which as an American used to that as a standard I appreciated. Charming and clean interior, clean toilets. Had a nice little outdoor seating area in the back (would be a nice escape from the tourist hustle outside). Really glad we walked by - we were tired and hungry but left full and recharged.

Great cocktails and food on the street front.

Came here after not being waited on down the street. Very attentive and food was great.

Decent interior, but one of the worst roasts I’ve had to date. Tough meat smothered in tasteless gravy and served cold. Would not recommend or come back.

How you can say this is the best fish and chips in Windsor is beyond me. It’s the worst and most expensive I’ve ever had. Chips were hard and the fish was hard to find in the flat overcooked batter…never again

We had a wonderful dinner at this classy and cosy pub. The Sunday roast was delicious! Loved the Yorkshire pudding!

Only three cask ales and two were out. Food is overpriced and portions are small. Modern pub, with little ambiance.

Very nice pub with very nice staff.

Didn't go for dinner but the drinks are very good and staff are very freidnly .
