    Had lunch today. Excellent food with staff and chef careful to meet our allergy needs. There was even a special gluten free menu. Would definitely go again on a special occasion

    The food was outstanding; as good as any fine dining restaurant but with good portions. Service was friendly but professional. The pub is intimate and cosy in a fabulous location with access onto Windsor Great Park. The only downside was that the room was too cold but improved after we asked them to put some heating on. This was no doubt a one off and I recommend this place anyway for its wonderful food, served beautifully. Graham Nichols

    Found this gem of a restaurant tucked out of the way quietly minding its own business. A warm welcome on arrival. Shown to table and was introduced to Cooper who looked after us throughout our meal. Starter was pigs trotter with crackling , main was gammon chop and fat chips wonderful flavour. Great wine. Will definitely be going again. Thank you. Only downside was parking but we managed.

    Steven and Ami never cease to provide lovely and interesting food, served in friendly surroundings. Last night we tried the rabbit terrine (with pan fried ribs) and the venison ravioli, which was just wonderful. The Cornish sole meuniere is a favourite of mine but one of us tried game pie and said it was the best pie he'd ever had in a restaurant. Of course, the venison main course with all its components is just delicious. One of us enjoyed the sticky toffee doughnuts, whilst myself and wife had the wonderful rhubarb based desert - just superb. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening.

    Great food, great service, lovely atmosphere. Not the cheapest option but it isn't overpriced, the quality of the food definitely justifies the cost, and for what you get it's actually very reasonable. Be aware that parking is very limited.

    It was the most divine food - the ham hock chops and my pheasant dish were so beautifully presented and very tasty! Louis was a perfect waiter as was the barman when we arrived. It all makes such a difference. A wonderful birthday celebration thank you.
