The best restaurants serving British food in Sunningdale Windsor and Maidenhead South East

I recently visited San Sebastián and dined at one of the most famous 3 Michelin star restaurants in Spain, The chef has a total of 8 Michelin stars. I loved the fact that we spent the entire evening enthralled by a multitude of dishes on what was an incredible culinary journey. The journey reminded me of a not altogether dissimilar experience at what I am in no doubt is the top Michelin restaurant in my part of the world and that is at Woven, Coworth Park. Within a 30 minute drive of Woven, there are THREE, 2 Michelin star restaurants all of which I have visited. None of them come close to the wonderful dining experience at Woven. Chef Adam Smith is a genius. My wife and I spent the most wonderful evening earlier this month at Woven to celebrate an anniversary. The Restaurant was busier than ever and part of the theatre and pleasure of it all is the exceptional service. The entire experience is joyous and we started with cocktails in the drawing room being entertained by a talented lady singing and playing at the grand piano. I have been visiting Michelin restaurants regularly for well over 40 years and Woven is far and away The most excellent wall Michelin star restaurant I have ever visited. In fact, we changed our reservation at a more traditional nearby 3 Michelin star restaurant in Bray In order to dine at Woven again. It is worth coming just for the bread course, which is one of the best ever and is actually served after the first six dishes from the pantry rather than the start of the dining experience as is more traditional... and it works. The last time I had bread as good as this was in a Michelin star restaurant in Dubrovnik. Bread in the other Michelin restaurants within driving distance doesn't come close! With the bread course we were served 13 separate dishes. Sadly, we just didn't have room for cheese even though the cheeses are spectacular and brilliantly curated, as, I should add, are the wines. My advice is, make a full evening of dinner at this truly great restaurant. I enjoy savouring every dish, arriving early and departing late. This most comfortable restaurant within the lovely Coworth Park is a dining experience to linger over. Everything, from the drive up to the hotel from the main gates onwards, is a absolute joy. Chef Adam can handle all diets and allergies with ease and any necessary substitutions do not detract from the excellence of each dish. These were the dishes from the pantry which started our fabulous dining experience... 'Deer Tartare' Tart & Artichoke Quiche Coronation Chicken & Coronation Carrot Watermelon & Thai Green Spiced Potato Bun Jellied Devon Eel & Celeriac Soup Artichoke 'Barigoule' All of these made for a brilliant, delicious and exciting overture which I could easily have repeated again and again. As for the jellied Devon eel and celeriac soup... it is 'historic' I would be devastated if it was ever removed from the menu. Next we're the dishes from the larder... Lancashire Kohlrabi: this is goat's Gouda cheese mousse, thinly sliced raw Lancashire Kohlrabi from Molyneux farm, raw pear, walnut praline, dressing made from Kohlrabi and pear juice, split with dill oil. On the side Cheese sandwich. Delicious. Miso Avocado: this is Miso cured Hass avocado, Yuzu and Timut pepper jam, Land caviar dressed with yuzu juice and olive oil, caramelised lemon puree, smoked vinegar gel, dressing made from tomato consommé and basil oil BBQ Hen of the Woods: this is Poached mushroom dashi Hen, cooked on the Japanese BBQ, Old Winchester cheese sauce, parsley and garlic puree, crispy cauliflower mushrooms, Cep and cheese tuile, fresh white truffle. Wow! Then, the bread course. With the above, we sipped the most delicious wines. This is a dining experience which, as with a truly great movie, I don't want to end. Happily main courses, pastry dishes, cheese course and treats are still to come. The cinematic theatre equivalent for me at this stage would be reaching the intermission at the theatre when the original Godfather movie was first released. The main courses to come have never been better. We enjoyed:- Yorkshire Lamb:- Savoy cabbage puree, cep puree, BBQ hispi cabbage brined poached and grilled, truffle lamb sauce, rack of Waterford farm Yorkshire lamb, on the side a bowl of ratte potato with truffle and sticky lamb belly. A 3 Michelin star dish, as in fact are many of the dishes. And Line-Caught Sea Bass:- Day boat sea bass landed in Looe Cornwall, citrus cured, cooked on the BBQ and glazed in a Vadouvan vinegar, parsnip and brown butter puree, parsnip crips, selection of garden herbs, fish red wine sauce, on the side braised rice scented with Vadouvan All so lovely. Then came wonders from the pastry chef. We had Russet Apple….This is Carved at the table:- Vanilla Sable, Vanilla Parfait, Apple terrine, Caramel glaze, White chocolate ganache, Caramelised choux, Honey and apple vinegar gel, Caramelised puff pastry on the side while on the plate - Vanilla Ice cream with Apple vinegar gel. Truly exceptional… The cheese display is to die for (see photo) but I just had no more room as the cheese course at Woven needs to be taken seriously…I knew I could not do it justice. Next time! Text And when you thought it was over…along come the ‘treats’ . Signature Chocolate & Popcorn PralineRice & Citrus Jelly; White Chocolate & Sudachi; Oabika & Macadamia and Meadowsweet Canelé Just WOW!!! Writing this review has made me need to do it again. As soon as I now submit this review, I am going to (hopefully) manage to book a table for Valentine’s Day 2025

On booking my festive afternoon tea I explained that I did not want the champagne. My request was granted and I was offered soft drinks. This was confirmed by telephone conversation. On arrival and at our table with my family I was told that I had to have the champagne because I had booked the festive afternoon tea. I felt very embarrassed, especially when the manager was called over. I explained that on booking my festive afternoon tea I was told that I could request soft drinks instead. In the end they let my family and I order fruit juices, coffee beer and tea! My tea was also cold, my first cup had bits of tea swimming around, my second cup was also cold. I do like extra milk, but the tea was cold before hand. I agree with another reviewer that the decoration was very poor. We did not have carol singers only the pianist. The sandwiches were ok but not as good as they used to be. Our left overs were bagged up nicely but our scones were missing! I have also been coming here for several years. I’m afraid I shall not be visiting again.

This is a fantastic venue. The food is really well presented and tastes fantastic. We used this venue for our wedding some years ago and have returned with our teenage children for a New Years Eve meal. The staff are first class and the facilities are too. The prices are reasonable for dining out but the food delivers beyond the usual Casual Dining Experience. I really recommend Kempton’s at Sunningdale for a top class dining experience with wonderful intimate settings. Thanks to all

Good place to watch the Football Midweek, nice Shisha at affordable price with proper metal pipes.
