The Royal Windsor

Description

Embark on a journey through time as we unveil the rich history of this site, once occupied by the esteemed Royal Oak Hotel, which graced this spot from the 19th century until its graceful departure in the late 1930s. An intriguing tidbit lies in the fact that the building that followed made a sneaky cameo in the beloved 1963 film Carry On Cabby, leaving an indelible mark on cinematic history.

Today, a new chapter unfolds with The Royal Windsor, a pub that offers much more than breathtaking views of the magnificent Windsor Castle from its expansive beer garden. Immerse yourself in a culinary experience like no other, savoring freshly cooked classic pub fare that pays homage to traditional favorites. For those seeking a touch of sophistication, their talented mixologists craft exquisite cocktails using their own house-infused spirits, ensuring each sip is a taste of pure indulgence.

Make this holiday season truly unforgettable at our venue! Christmas is the perfect time to gather with family and friends, and our space is ideal for creating lasting festive memories. Savour our Christmas set menus, packed with seasonal favourites and all the trimmings, and pair them with our exclusive drinks for the ultimate holiday experience. Whether it’s a cosy catch-up with friends or a lively holiday work celebration, our welcoming venue sets the scene for unforgettable moments. And when New Year’s Eve arrives, raise a glass of sparkling fizz, celebrate with laughter, and step into the new year surrounded by friendship, festive magic, and joy.

Anticipation fills the air as they eagerly await your arrival at the crown jewel of pubs in Windsor. Step into The Royal Windsor and prepare to be enchanted by an unforgettable experience that seamlessly weaves together history, gastronomy, and warm hospitality.
