| Visited Friday night, busy pub popular with local residents. Good atmosphere, sociable clientele and prompt service. Bombardier was in top condition, although at London prices. Dog friendly. Will visit again. floating_drinker - 27 Sep 2011 00:10 |
| Just spotted the last comment about only two real ales . We at CAMRA would prefer that there be only two very well kept and popular ales on offer, rather than pubs trying to serve a larger range and just not achieving the throughput. This results in the barrels being on sale for more than the ideal 3/5 days, and the beer being sold when it has already started to deteriorate with the 'souring' process already under way. I think the Jolly Gardeners has got the balance spot on, as I have been back quite often since my last visit and the beer has always been absolutely spot on. Sadly this cannot be said for most establishments who would rather put short term profits over longer term quality. Beerquaffer - 20 Jun 2009 17:01 |
| We visited here last Tuesday evening and it was fairly busy with a good mix of people. There were only 2 real ales on offer - Courage Best and Wells Bombardier. It's the only pub in Old Windsor I have ever visited. So I can't compare it with others. But overall I found it disappointing. blue_scrumpy - 10 Apr 2009 12:12 |
| When I last visited this pub about 4 years ago, it was a grubby, dingy little back street boozer infested by rowdy, heavy drinkers who seemed to be content drinking the not particularly nice beer that was on offer. I was astonished to see that it was now in the latest Good Beer Guide, so with reservations I decided to give it another go- my goodness, what a change! It has been completely turned round - now a pleasant, friendly and airy atmosphere. Beer on absolute top form, too. Sadly, pressure of work and travel means I am not able to get back to Old Windsor as often as I would like, but when I can I will be returning. Beerquaffer - 20 Nov 2008 21:30 |
| Not a huge selection of pubs in Old Windsor, but this one is the best by far. I dont know what time the poster who said no people and no music went in there... maybe when they were closed? This is a well run and exceptionally friendly pub. Food is superb, and if you'll excuse the pun, cheap as chips! Hops - 23 May 2008 00:49 |
