The Compass is being run by new proprietors. They've added their touch to it and it still has that cosy, dog friendly lovely old pub feel. I met the landlady and she's very very nice and the staff were very friendly.Usual pub grub was spot on and reasonably priced.There's quite a large, paved outside area, part of which is covered. Bordered by plants and shrubs and well tended. Really recommend a visit

Thought this pub looked like a great spot for lunch according to the reviews, but after spending 5 minutes there it is fair to say we will not be back, my partner and I were stared at the whole time by the locals and when I tried to get a drink at the bar the 2 male staff stood there ignored me to chat to another local sat at the bar, then after about a minute of waiting the local asks for another round and both staff jump into action to serve 1 person! Honestly such a shame as the pub itself looks absolutely lovely but is let down by the staff.

Just had a great meal at The Compass Inn Winsor. 100% gluten free and many other dishes dairy free and vegan. The portion sizes are huge (main meals starting at £14) but we had the much more manageable tasty and very reasonably priced main meals for £8.50. Staff all very friendly. Very dog friendly as well.

We're always so excited to come here, our favourite place to go while we're out exploring. Came for a meal this evening and did not disappoint! Lovely starter, roast dinner was amazing! Such a shame it will be closing, will definitely be trying to come back as much as we can before then!

A traditional country pub, way off the beaten track, in a quiet village.It has the beams, the horse brasses, the wood fire, all of the ambiance that you'd expect. It's dog friendly, and they organise walks for dog owners and their 4 legged friends.But the main reason to visit will be the food. Simply excellent, with an interesting menu, great food, superbly presented by friendly staff. They have a number of specials, and various offers on different days, so the price can also be right!Certainly, they offer some of the best cuisine I've had in a while, and it would not be out of place in a top notch restaurant.Just a note; they also offer food suitable for those with gluten intolerance. My brother suffers with this, and I know from his comments how hard it can be to find somewhere that can cater for him.Make the effort to find this pub, and book yourself a table. You will not regret it.

I've been wanting to go here for ages, since I read about the Gluten Free menu. What a lovely pub, staff were very friendly and food was amazing. Dogs very welcome and get their own lunch. Wish this pub was a bit nearer home but will definitely be going back to try something else on the menu. Even had Gluten Free beer on draft.

Absolutely lovely food, large portions. Great for coeliacs or any people with gluten intolerance and it was nice to be able to order anything, great variety and choice. Would seriously recommend to anyone, amazing atmosphere and staff!

We were excited to find out about this pub, as we have dogs and my daughter eats gluten-free. We got there and took directions for a nice shady dog walk before lunch, as it was a hot day.We stay outside, which is so pretty and very shady. To our surprise the dogs got a free ah day lunch! It was chicken, rice, veg and gravy, which they loved. We enjoyed the food a lot, and the bar drinks, also gluten free. Making gluten free pizza is an art I’ve not mastered but my daughter had a lovely one. A light crisp crust and plenty of toppings.It was beautifully quiet. A large number of pubs cater for young families, which is great, but I dare admit that it was nice to have a lunch out without small children charging about.Highly recommended. We may try the group dog walk with lunch sometime!

Very disappointing experience to order a stone baked pizza and receiving the one on the picture. Not a rocket science to figure that it's a ready shop bought base which was really dry, with some ingredients on top, but even the cheese was not melted under the top layer. Would never order a pizza there again Tobe honest I prefer frozen one compared to this.The atmosphere and the stuff was nice though I guess some pubs are just more for drinks than food.
