The Hinds Head in Windsor and Maidenhead

Delicious cocktails. Cosy and welcoming vibe with eclectic decor. Came here for drinks before our fat duck dinner across the road and BOY WAS THIS PLACE FRIGGIN GOOD! The interior decorations are unique and quirky but it works. 100% recommend if you are in Bray

Really good food especially the desserts. Waiting staff all fantastic, polite helpful and efficient. Surprisingly managed to get a table at the last minute on a Sunday lunchtime, bank holiday weekend as well.

If the prices were half as much I'd say it was an average meal at an average pub. It's nice, the staff are nice and attentive, but the food was really really disappointing for the price point. £60 for a 300g ribeye that was chewy and relied on sauce for taste is not reasonable. I am all for overpaying for food when it is good, but this just wasn't. The pie was decent, but tiny. Good wine list. Probably won't come back, shame.

Shared a fantastic meal with my other half. Service was great, atmosphere was very relaxed. Good selection of beers on tap. The food was amazing as to be expected. Highlight for each of us were the guinea fowl and the chocolate red wine slush with millionaire shortbread (The steak with bone marrow sauce was a close contender though).

Very comfortable pub with first class food and service. The food is top class, with quality ingredients. I had the rib eye steak with bearnais sauce. It was delicious, tender and full of taste. Had the cherry bakewell tart for dessert, again very well presented and full of flavour.

So I was taken here as a birthday gift.. and it was lovely. Bray is beautiful. The hinds head is warm and inviting and steeped in history.The starters were interesting. There was a pea and ham soup with pork belly and ham hock. There was also a scotch egg. The soup was good. The scotch egg was spectacular.The roast dinner was gorgeous.. I had beef which was rare and tender. You get plenty of gravy and the veg were perfect. I'm not a big fan of cabbage so that got left.I don't know what they do to the Yorkshire pudding but it was amazing.. had such good flavour. How do they do that?The horseradish was new for me.. I often find it too strong but here it was subtle and smooth. I was converted.The roast pots were fluffy in the middle and crispy bordering on too crispy on the outside. I liked them but you just might want to watch yourself if you have dentures.Desert was a treacle pudding.. umm I'm sure it was really good but had a kinda black treacleish flavour which I don't much like so I ended up leaving most of it. It would be nice to have an option because I wouldn't have chosen it.The wine was perfect.. really lovely. And the service was attentive and professional without being intrusive. A real class act.I live a long way from Bray and if I was in the area I would definitely go again but I might not make a special trip.

Plus points- staff were friendly, efficient and attentiveIt ticked a boxWe were given a birthday desertHowever- I did not enjoy the cut of steak and it was just served by itself, no salad or veg. We both thought the chips were greasy and overcooked.I’ve had better scotch eggs than the one served here, the flavours just weren’t there and not sure why it was served with a Dijon mayonnaise, it didn’t complement it.For this sort of money I expect to be wowed and I wasn’t. You also can’t take drinks outside for some reason.

The experience at Hind's Head was overall very good. We arrived 10' earlier and our table was set. We ordered the two courses Sunday lunch. Scotch egg and ham and pea soup as starters. For main I chose the beef option and my partner chose the pork option. They arrived in warm plates with roasted vegetables and potatoes as sides. The pork came with an apple saud option and a pork sauce and the beef with a beef sauce. We also ordered the popular triple cooked chips that were similar in taste and texture with the roast potatoes, crispy and crunchy at the outer part and soft inside. They were all delicious. They even brought us a toffee dessert for my partner's birthday on the house. The building was also amazing . Highly recommend it.

My overall expectations for food in the UK are a bit low so this is nice, but nothing that special given the Michelin star. Friendly staff and generally reasonable food, but unless you're interested in some specific items here there are many cheaper or more interesting alternative places. Not the same level as The Fat Duck across the road, but pretty reasonable "pub" food. It is a bit pricey for what it is, and I found the starters a bit disappointing. Also overall food was slightly saltier than expected, but I think this is a personal taste issue and the scotch egg and desserts made up for an overall positive experience. Highly recommend the desserts (rhubarb trifle for something a bit tart and chocolate wine slush for a not so sweet, slightly bitter dessert). Also the "something to begin" items seem nice. The starters were a bit too salty (would have preferred less salt and salt on table) or boring and the mains were OK (mine was bit cold). Dinner by Heston (or ultimately The Fat Duck) is a better overall choice if you're interested in a more funky gastronomic experience. Especially as they do not have the tasty mushroom ketchup here for the triple cooked chips. However I'd say the nibbles and desserts here were better than Dinner.

A wonderful country pub with the quirky, imaginative charm of Heston Blumenthal. Service is top notch, and we had a pleasant experience with two children under the age of 12. There is a dedicated kid's menu, although some or the adult items such as the scotch egg will go down a treat as well. The wine list is excellent, the food is stellar and portions are generous. Strongly recommended.
