well i went back to this pub and i must say, wasn't as impressed this time.
i dont know what has happened to the food - or the chef, but it was awful. It took over 45 mins to arrive and after al that, was cold and didn't taste that great. The pub was full of football fans drinking noisily, pushing and shoving so i must say i didnt enjoy this experience at all.
I dont think i would go back again. A shame after being quite impressed the first time but after having such an awful experience, i just dont think id risk it.

My partner and i have visited this pub on a few occasions and must say, our last visit was fantastic. We wanted to take our parents out for a quiet sunday roast and wanted somewhere that wasn't too commercial, neither did it have screaming kids. We instantly thought of the Henry and i must say, we all had a fantastic time. So much so, we stayed all afternoon!
The food was excellent. Real homemade yorkshire puddings (Which my Dad loved!) and the sticky toffee pudding was a great end to a fantastic meal. Although it was quite busy, we found a table quickly but we had to wait a little while for the food. The atmosphere was very cosy and relaxing so it didn't bother us..
The only downside i would say is that the toilets could have done with improving. They were a bit grotty and a bit smelly from the gents. I would have been nice if the fires were lit, however, it was a lovely afternoon and my parents have already asked when we can all visit again.
I would certainly recommend this pub for families without children or for those who enjoy a good independent pub with great food and atmosphere.

I used this website to find a nice place to go whilst staying in Windsor for our Christmas party and tried a few places mentioned in the high street.
We had trouble getting a table on Sunday afternoon for lunch but hung around as we loved the ambience of the place and especially christmas decorations and winter pimms. The menu was fantastic (especially the crab cakes) and good value and well worth waiting for all though it was slightly noisy from the football being shown at the opposite end of the bar.
We ended up staying another night at the hotel opposite after enjoying a wonderful night of live music with a Irish band. I will be coming back again. Great place

What a pretentious pub. This used to be great. What happened? Over priced but not bad beer.
What's all the sofas for. Landlord..THE PLACE ISN'T BIG ENOUGH !
It's now a pub that is trying to be something it's not.
The heart and soul has gone from this pub !

not a bad boozer but i get the feeling its the best of a 'ok' lot in the area. Its good, but not great and the service was pretty slow. Tight in there when it gets busy, the bands play in a tight area which is quite frankly in the way so the enjoyment of watching them is not as it could be. That said, its not a bad choice if you want a pint in the week and want to go somewhere that looks nice and is a no brainer.

Recently popped in here on a Saturday evening after being at the races at Windsor. There was no one behind the bar and after waiting 5 minutes only to discover the barstaff were sat on the couch watching the sports and were in no rush to serve. Obviously didn't bother staying.

Cracking boozer, decent ale, great live music from the fabulously versatile Steve on Sunday nights - ranges from 'Carrickfergus' to Green Day, Gershwin to the Jam, Billy Joel to the Pogues. A splendid night out.

This pub has been tarted up since I was last visited, its food and decor has gone a bit more upmarket. The lunchtime food menu is good if a fraction pricey. As a guide to main couse sausages and mash in onion gravey costs £ 8.99 although it does have a £ 4.50 sandwich menu.
The Pub used to be buzzing in the evening, with 30+'s buzzing to live music over the weekend. I don't know if this is still the case.

Great all round pub, shows appropriate sport on the flat screen and goes to town when there's a big fixture or a big event. Food is superb, staff are friendly and the beer garden since the refurb is quite excellent. Wish I lived a bit nearer to it as it would definitely be my local!

Very busy pub when live Music is on, If you want a seat or hear yourself talk get there before the music starts at 9pm. usually have the same acts on each week which is OK, but you tend to get the same music set each time you go in. Greatly improved since this years re-vamp. Great beer garden for the Summer nights. Has flat screen TV for Sports but no sound when I was in there. Good Barman in Eddie who seems to have been a fixture in several pubs in Eton for many years and is backed by several female friendly staff.

This used to be the best pub in Eton, until it changedThis used to be the best pub in Eton, until it changed hands about a year ago. It now cannot decide whether it's a pub or a restaurant. Still, Tony (The manager) and the rest of the bar staff are very friendly and the sandwiches at lunchtime are superb.

Good all rounder, massively improved with the new, very large beer garden at the back, friendly chatty staff and some great live music. Also cater for all important football games without accomodating lad culture.
Won't let me take in my little dog though which I suppose is fair enough, but will always go back when I don't have her with me.
WELL DONE !

Friendly Staff, and although the beer selection is seriously lacking, the Bombadier they sell is probably the best pint of it i've ever had!
|
Good all year round pub.
Cant complain on anything really.

Great staff. Friendly Irish pub. Lack of choice of proper beer, the only problem. Live music available Thursday to Sunday.

Great pub great location. For those of us who live near Slough but don't like drinking there this place is brilliant. Great Guinness and live music is good. Only downside is that it is the place to be on a Sunday night and as such gets very very crowded. this sometimes can be a bit much (How old am I ???) Food is reasonable and if I remember rightly a BBQ is usually on offer during the Summer. A great garden with lots of extra seating and lovely for thos summer nights drinking Guinness with your friends.

Always has a good atmosphere with some good live music. The only let down is poor selection of ale.

Live music every weekend night, food served daily,Plasma wide screen tv. Must get there early on the weekend for a table. Garden with additional outside bar and BBQ.
unfortunately NO children.

Great pub for all year - cosy in the winter, big decked area with outside bar in the summer. Fab atmosphere and good live music Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Worth the wander over from Windsor if you're in the area.
