Central Windsor with Parking - Out & About Information/Recommendations

Windsor Castle & local eateries

So many cafes surround Windsor Castle you'll be spoiled for choice. The Two Brewers at the top of the Long Walk by the castle is the best authentic English pub for a decent beer & snack! Sit outside down by the river at Browns, The Boatman, The George or Cote Brasserie for lunch perhaps. Take a boat out for half an hour and see the castle from the river. Wander down to Windsor Racecourse Marina to Go-Gos for some sundowners later in the afternoon.
If you like a good farm shop then look no further than the Royal Windsor Shop, 5 mins drive from the flat, 20 mins walk. Windsor farm shop has wonderful fresh food from the Royal parkland and beyond. There is a cafe onsite too!

Central London can be reached within the hour via train from Windsor. There are two stations, the central station will go via Slough which joins the speedy Elizabeth line.

Popular with locals, shows rugby world cup matches, some football but they are an so as not to make it a sports bar. Often has bands, comedians, whilst serving bar food, real ales, IPAs, ciders. 10 mins walk from the apartment. Well worth a visit! Old Image though. It has been modernised and moved next door.

Great little inn on the Eton side of the bridge. Good ales & food too. The George is also a small hotel with lots of outside space and must stop off point if you are strolling around Eton.

This is a great Pub & Restaurant at the top of the Long Walk. So aim for the copper horse (3 miles from the castle), take a left at the top and walk for a few more hundred yards. Bring your trainers, some water, an umbrella, and a phone to call an UBER to get you back. Good food & Drink in restaurant, bar food, BBQs and outdoor seating.

The Famous Eton School, home to many CEO, Prime Ministers & Royalty is at the end of the lovely Eton High Street. Enjoy a drink at the many cafes/bars/ along the high street. Just a stroll across the bridge which is a mere 10-12 mins from the apartment and walk down history lane. There is a cute pub called the Waterman's Arms to the left of the bridge as you walk over. A good watering hole to be remembered on your way back.

Arguably the best Italian in Windsor with a clay oven. Right in the heart of the town down a cobbled street by the Royal Station. Very popular night & day in Summer months so book at Weekends and Bank Holidays.

One of the best in the area. Out in Great Park by Savill Gardens so a good 15 minutes from the apartment but worth the visit. Fresh local produce cooked by award winning chef but at reasonable prices. A country treat so tie it in with a walk around the lake on a lazy afternoon & evening. Must book!

Great for a take away, only a mile or so from the flat, they deliver free of charge to the flat and the curries are excellent. The Shorisha and the Naga are my favourite hot ones.

Next door to Windsor is a tiny village called Bray which has been made famous by the renowned restaurant " The Fat Duck " - just a few steps away is Heston's other restaurant: The Hinds Head ! Awesome food, a great treat for anyone but a fraction of the price of The Fat Duck. 10 mins from the apartment by car.
