I have been a regular for coffee and cake for more than ten years. Run so well it is hard to believe that it is in the UK. Service is instant, coffee always piping hot and, on a sunny day, it is a lovely place to sit at the end of Eton Bridge and watch the world go by.I have been a regular for coffee and cake for more than ten years.

The coffee here is not strong or good, its burnt. The dispence time is less than 10 seconds. The food was ok if a bit pricy. The staff are good but insificiant, only two over a busy lunch. Though the place is warn in winter.The coffee here is not strong or good, its burnt. The dispence time is less than 10 seconds. The food was ok if a bit pricy.

At last, a decent cup of coffee outside central London. Has quite a few opportunities to stop of in Windsor and this place makes it worth while. The service is friendly; the staff are fast and plentiful. There are normally eight people working every time I go there. Try the bacon buttie, or the cream tea. But try the coffee flat white double shot. The best I have had outside Monmouth.At last, a decent cup of coffee outside central London.

Small, but friendly. Just like all Costa coffee - they do a pretty decent coffee - though I find their lattes a little milky - I prefer two shots in mine and ask for that. Their baristas are usually quite well trained, and I don't ever get a bitter coffee - though I've noticed them sometimes reuse milk that's been heated once - which means it isn't always stretched as well as possible. :P

But it's usually pretty good, as is their hot chocolate (try it with a chocolate stick) and I just *love* their raspberry and almond bake :)Small, but friendly.

There's a reason these guys are popular - they do their pasties well. you don't go for ambiance or for a sit-down meal, just for good, quick, yummy food.There's a reason these guys are popular - they do their pasties well. you don't go for ambiance or for a sit-down meal, just for good, quick, yummy food.

Lovely little place tucked away next to one of the tiny pathways leading out of Peascod street. The streetfront looks like there's only a few tables, but sidle past the front bar and there's a whole restaurant tucked away.

There's lots of light, so if you're a lunchtime book-reader like me you'll have plenty to see by while you down a really delicious pasta and/or dessert. I've tried their soup as well as pasta, and had a lovely crumble as well and it was consistently yummy :)

Good food, reasonable prices and nice ambiance.Lovely little place tucked away next to one of the tiny pathways leading out of Peascod street. The streetfront looks like there's only a few tables, but sidle past the front bar and there's a whole restaurant tucked away.

The Crooked House - BIG DISSAPOINTMENT by royalholloway

Review by royalholloway

Rating: 1.00My friends and I were really looking forward to a lunch in Windor's famous Crooked House. However I must say that we were all extremely disappointed and we will not be returning. We were welcomed by an unprofessional waitress that didn't seem to know what was going on. This was reflected by her poor service as she did not understand what we ordered and forgot to bring us scones, and in additon put mushrooms in my meal after I had clearly stated that I was allergic to them.
The room was a fridge and all of our food was decorated with butter in foil wrappers that looked like garbage. The toast that comes with the English Breakfast is like eating a news paper.
The scones that costed us around £4 per piece where cold and the served with processed jam and tesco clotted cream.
The venue does not have a toilet so you have to go to the public one across the road if you require to use one.
In addition one of our friend's salad had tomatoes that tasted off, and I suffered from a mild case of gastro interitis a few hours after eating there.
Overall, having eaten in many restaurants around London, I think that this place is a disgrace and a complete waste of money. I do not advise anyone to go to this overpriced scam of a tea room, if you want to experience a more authentic British cuisine go to Fortnum and Masons in London as it does quite a better job for a similar price.My friends and I were really looking forward to a lunch in Windor's famous Crooked House.
