Thatched Cottage, Maidenhead

I find the comments made by Ben Shockley & Maverick69 (whoever they are) to be totally uncalled for & totally incorrect. There has been no trouble & rarely even an argument in the pub for years.
I find the 'care in the community / Neanderthal' comments unacceptable. The group of locals that sit near (not at) the entrance have always been most welcoming & friendly.
Reading through Maverick69's comments it is clear that he is not a very sociable person & can't seem to find a local pub he fits in to. This is backed up by the fact that he has visited & moaned about prices etc of nearly 20 pubs over his posts! Can I suggest he rings Ben Shockley, gets a cheap crate of fosters from the supermarket & sits at home watching the last of the summer wine box set.

Having used this pub for circa 30 years I have to say that the pub looks great after the recent fit out. It is also nice that the management have listened to comments by the locals & replaced the TV adjacent to the entrance.This enables the people who come to the pub to watch sport without overlooking & disturbing people that come in to eat the good quality pub food on offer. The new landlord is very friendly & has fitted in as if he has been here for years. The only fault I can think of from the fit out is the removal of the Juke box which was always very popular to keep the atmosphere in the pub. Surely its got to come back especially with the new management team of 'Cas & Dave'!!
