Hall & Woodhouse Taplow - (Near Berkshire, london)

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.

Roxy Hull There are no words to describe the experience. Without a doubt, one of the most incredible nights of our lives! The staff were incredibly attentive, I was full of cold and they recommended the olive tea to make me feel better, which it did! We loved how their individual personalities shone through, which is different from other high end restaurants where the staff are almost told to all act the same? Danny in particular, made our evening! The food was innovative and a real experience, there are no words! My mind is still boggled from all the different flavours and textures! We would absolutely love to come 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.

jksphoto Just been to the Oak and Saw for the wifes birthday lunch. Warm friendly welcome on arrival. Great food, went for the roast beef which was served with a huge Yorkshire pudding. They have a great selection of ales at the bar which is perfect for me. The staff were attentive throughout our visit and made us feel valued as customers. Make sure you try the sticky toffee pudding. Delicious. Will be back soon Thank you.

Ella Reike After visiting the Kings Arms many times for their live music on Saturday nights, we decided to book in for food and were not disappointed! We tried their new bottomless brunch menu and, as frequent brunch-goers, we were really impressed! The food was by far the best we’ve had at a bottomless brunch — great options made with top-quality ingredients. The cocktails were also delicious: all freshly made and to the same high standard as those on the regular cocktail menu. We will 100% return and couldn’t recommend it enough!
