The historic Ostrich Inn Colnbrook, Heathrow, dates back 900 years to 1106–supposedly the third oldest inn in England. With bar, restaurant, private dining areas and function space as well as bedrooms it caters to a range of guest requirements and modern expectations.
Today you can enjoy honest, tasty pub food, fresh local ingredients, in relaxed and comfortable surroundings, yet only a stones throw from Heathrow Airport and main transport links. Serving wine by the glass or bottle and a choice of real ales.
Exterior exhibits a wonky timbered facade, but lots of care and attention has been spent bringing this former coaching inn up to date, expect dark slate floors, open fireplace, brilliant jewel colours & stained glass, as well as sand-blasted beams & a cobbled courtyard.
If you are looking for a pub while staying near to Heathrow Airport, or simply because you are in business in the Heathrow area, we look forward to welcoming you. We're open 7 days a week and

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Ostrich Inn charms guests with its rich history and "warm welcome." The food consistently impresses, from "excellent customer service" at breakfast to delightful lunch and dinner options. While some found the curry too spicy, the attentive staff and unique setting make it ideal for gatherings or a memorable meal near Heathrow.

We were a party of 8 and arrived before our booking but we were able to be seated without any problem. Sunday roast was very good and value for money. Service was excellent and never felt rushed. Would recommend.

Was not disappointed at all , in fact exceeded my expectations. On every level the service was brilliant. Made to feel very welcome , staff really engaging and lovely . Food amazing and great value for money. As a group of 4 we were all impressed. We will definitely be back. Oh and mustn’t forgot free car park around the back without having to search for parking or parking meters was the icing on the cake. Thanks for a smashing evening

We were looking for a place to have lunch near Heathrow airport. We wanted somewhere with a nice authentic atmosphere and good food, without it being fussy or too expensive. The Ostrich Inn was perfect. Loved the ambience. Very good food - although we only had the lunch menu.

We were staying at a local hotel before flying from Heathrow the next day and The Ostrich Inn was only a short walk away. The food was lovely and the service was excellent.

We came in late after a long day of travel and had the last sitting. Loved the setting and the history all around us! Unfortunately, we were traveling with a nursing newborn that had a case of the screamies. The staff could not have been more helpful and gave us a more secluded area at the back of the dining room where the baby could nurse while we ate and no shade was given when she was upset and crying. The food was OUTSTANDING and the chef even came out to greet us. We loved our experience! The staff were amazing and this place couldn't be any cooler. Had a gorgeous little beer garden we'd have loved to sit in another time.

The food choice was quite limited to be honest. All dishes had some form of potato; not good for a low carb diet. However, I was able to improvise. The waitress who served us was lovely, really friendly and polite. I’ve been there many, many times and will continue to go. I have nothing negative to say about this place 👍👍👍
