The Crown At Bray - Maidenhead

Posh pub food food extremely well! Stopped off for a spot of lunch. Ample car parking, lovely outdoor marquee area with access to the chefs cooking. I’d just had dental surgery and had to choose accordingly so opted for the wild garlic soup with feta and croutons it was Devine. I then ordered the beef Wellington and my goodness, what a generous portion; cooked to perfection.

Fantastic little find this was, a real old traditional style pub with extremely low ceilings, a truly fabulous atmosphere, we enjoyed a three course lunch, the Irish lady who looked after us was really good, fully explained the menu and recommended dishes for us. Very enjoyable, we will return.

4.5 stars. Loved the old pub atmosphere and the service from our waiter (a guy from Italy) was great, he had a lot of helpful local recommendations. Most of the food was great but found the sticky toffee pudding a bit odd…

One of my favourite places to go to it used to be owned by Heston Bluemental but recently taken over by another partner completely that he did business with. No big changes but the menus have changed and there are some new items and desserts. I was there for the Christmas holiday offerings and opted for the yummy prawn cocktail the accompanying bread and butter was so good! My main course was Windsor Estate partridge, a small bird that doesn’t taste “gamely” at all, in fact it tastes a little like chicken and this was cooked to perfection and wrapped in bacon with the most delicious roast potatoes! To finish, I opted for the mince pie and coffee, with a small piece of the homemade macadamia nut brittle. Overall the food was yummy and Molly, our waitress was absolutely wonderful and made us feel welcome and appreciated the perfect mix of service and personality! I would recommend they look for a new coffee offering, it was nice but not strong enough for me but overall, I would always give this venue a 10/10 for everything.

The food was incredible, and the interior was charming and cozy. Dogs are welcome, the drinks were delicious, and the staff were excellent.
