    Great service, really made to feel welcome and well looked after. Traditional British fare, well cooked and presented - puts many other local pubs and restaurants to shame. Just be sure to park in Saville Gardens and walk up to the pub. It’s worth it.

    Superb, as ever. Wonderful unusual menu of game, beautifully presented as fine dining in a relaxed lively country pub. Staff are the cherry on the cake. Hugely recommend.

    Excellent quality and well presented meal. Locally sourced venison and game. Friendly helpful service. Nice local pub atmosphere but up market food. Quiet the day we visited and a wee bit chilly but we’ve been when it’s been very busy, lots of walkers, families and dogs! Happy repeat customers.

    Our second visit to The Bailiwick and as memorable an experience as the first. Warm and attentive service combined with exceptional food is always guaranteed. We love the opportunity to try local produce that has been ethically sourced from Windsor Great Parks. An added treat is always in store - and the team went to extra efforts for a birthday being celebrated. We can't wait for our next visit.
