Avoid like the plague if you are a local (which I am).
Overpriced, bad beer and rude staff. God knows what
tourists must think of Windsor if this is their first
port of call.

Nice 'old fashioned' pub inside, effectively ruined by some large TV screens continually showing the sports channel with sound turned down! Would be OK for the occasional big event - but they were showing a darts competition on the Sunday night we visited! Few people there, but friendly East-European bar staff.Outside there is a seating area next to the pub building but as it's directly onto a main road it's not picturesque or quiet - one to miss, unless you like the smell of petrol fumes!

Prices are Obv based at the tourist influx, but a lovely pub with a nice beer patio, just bare in mind gents u may need a canoe to get newhere near the urinal!

A pub that started off OK and got worse. Was served a warm glass of white wine. When it was taken back and a replacement requested was told by a member of the bar staff that 'I couldn't return it as they couldn't resell it'. I was also told that there was a problem with the fridge so that was the reason for the wine being warm. Ended up being sent away from the bar with no drink. Money was refunded in the end, but not before an arguement with the bar manager.
Would not recemmend it to anyone!

£3.10 for a pint of fosters what a rip-off

Nice enough looking pub, but a total rip off. I was charged £7.95 for a pint of Stella and a small glass of wine at the weekend. Won't be going back.

Good place to go for the football as they do show all the games but get there early or you're stuffed. Can get smoky when busy but that only until next summer !
Great beer garden, friendly staff and ok menu, will always be an occasional drinker there though.

Nice to sit outside on a hot day while waiting for a train or the boat to the races. Otherwise a bog standard pub of the sort in which Windsor seems to specialize - not much you can say for it, not much you can say against.
|
Food is overpriced and a poor unimaginative menu makes this a bad choice for a meal considering food available in nearby pubs. Sports are always hard to see as the screen area is easily crowded. Better choice of pubs over the bridge or up the hill.

Really great pub, went there after visiting Winsor castle and had a wonderful time. Nice atmosphere, friendly service, and it was serving food when most places weren't. Would highly recommend
|
I would def recommend this pub to visitors of Windsor. The food is great and its an ideal spot for summer, lovely garden, big tables and right next to the castle. I recommend the fajitas! ;-)
|
Lively place that looks nice inside and out. Expect a good deal of smoke though.
|
Warm pub, Well-looked after beers and good service. Had some good evenings there!
|
Lovely friendly relaxing pub....! this was always a favourite after work watering hole and i loved the food in there.... the only critism i have is that its a tad bit on the expensive side.
|
I have been here several times. Initially very good with superb food. However our party of 10 booked for an XMas meal in mid December. No real beer to be had, even no Guinness. Food microwaved.In October I was here trying to persuade a lager drinker to try ale in Windsor and was offered very cloudy 6X. Time for us to try some of the many other pubs in Windsor.

Nice pub but far too expensive. Looks like an ordinary pub, it's like being in an ordinary pub, but the prices certainly are not ordinary (£12+ for 2 pints and a JD) as Peter Kay says - "you should be wearing a striped jumper and a mask.....". Can get a bit smoky, I know because I was the cause of it.
|
Expensive tourist trap! The beer wasn't great last time I went. Nice inside though, though they should really get a Japanese rice beer in...
|
Royal Oak looks good inside and out. It feels warm and welcoming. Friendly enough staff with well tended beer. Liked the decor and the clientele.
|
Definitely a good sports pub--screens all over (although none of the ones I saw on Saturday was showing the Ashes). Was crowded on my visit--took some time to get served at the bar.
|
Agree with the comment below; great pub for watching sport especially when rugby is on.
|
Great pub, wicked beer garden for the summer, excellent for a quick drink after a long train ride (20 steps from Riverside station)

This is one of the better pubs in Windsor, the food is good and they still have the open fire in the winter. Whenever theres a big match on the TV the atmosphere is good particularly with Rugby internationals.
Also has a "garden" over looked by the castle.
