David Woodger The Astor Grill has a very friendly and relaxing atmosphere. The food is excellent in taste and quality. What a surprise we had when a little birthday cake with a candle, and handwritten card arrived at the table for my wife. Excellent, and I recommend a meal here

Kai Hunter Ali is always utterly charming and a wonderful host. Ali ably leads the front of house team. Hussain, Anika, Maisha, Malik and Ramisa are all so lovely, friendly and attentive; they all work so hard to make your experience magical and special. The food is absolutely delicious. The wine list is extensive and you can always find a bottle to complement your food choices. We thoroughly and highly recommend Malik’s. Be patient if they are just, they will attend to you and your needs. Support this amazing institution and enjoy your meal/s. Just make sure there is always a table for two available for my wife and I.

Francesca Love this place, such great vibes! Brilliant atmosphere, good music, lovely staff and a really welcoming feel. The Budvar is properly authentic and tastes incredible, and the food is outstanding. Everything we tried was delicious, especially the pierogi! A fantastic spot for great beer, amazing food, and a fun night out. Best place in Maidenhead - I’ll be back soon!

jksphoto Best breakfast in Maidenhead. Weve been coming to Flavios for years now, love the food, service and their large cups of tea. Noticed that its always busy now especially at weekends, so well worth calling to book a table.

Henry What makes a good restaurant? Clearly food will feature somewhere on your list and in the case of The Waterside this takes the form of classic French cooking. Nothing is “deconstructed” or designed to surprise. You know exactly what you’re getting from the menu and if you’ve visited previously you probably even know what you’re going to order before you arrive. Nothing is intended to shock. Far too many restaurants at all levels feature a talented kitchen team let down by their front of house. From the moment you arrive here everyone knows what they are doing and wants to make your visit as enjoyable as they possibly can. They’re not trying to trip you up, you don’t have to be fluent in gastronomy or know anything about malolactic fermentation. The sommelier is there to help, not to test. No one is judging you although I’d be lying if said we didn’t people watch our fellow diners a little. You are family when dining at The Waterside, it’s not in any way stuffy or starched. That’s not to suggest service is casual, seamless would be my best description with teams assembling when required to reveal your next course before melting away again to leave you to your conversation. The Waterside is a happy place. My memory of the venue is that it’s a bit dated, the phrase “Chinese restaurant” was used as we drove there but things have quietly evolved. It’s actually quite smart these days. The bathrooms are modern and fresh, the soft furnishings crisp and comforting with a nod to the history of the venue. Let us not forget this is an institution woven into the fabric of British restaurant history.

Andrew Booth First and foremost, this is a quintessential British pub which just happens to have a Michelin star. The bar area is cosy and there’s a good selection of reasonably priced drinks. On a Friday evening the place was full of locals which was great to see and had a really nice atmosphere. The signature triple cooked fish and chips were amazing and the best I’ve ever had- it’s worth visiting just for these! The staff were friendly and down to earth which added to the laid back pub vibe. The prices are very reasonable given the quality, I can’t wait to return.
