The Crown & Cushion, Windsor

A keg only pub that has more of a bar feel than pub, it was however well attended and had a lively as well as cosy ambiance. The keg range was standard stuff along with the addition of two Rebellion beers. Although I'd not be back for the beer it wasn't that bad a place.

There are claims that the pub dates from 1753 however the interior is quite modern with a carpeted bar and pastel shade decor. The main room with the bar on the back wall is rectangular and has a few high tables but standard seating too with a pair of window seats. A man v food challenge fills one wall and looks rather crass. Another side room has an unusable dartboard with seating in front and a strange wall mural of a Space Invader game screen. To the other side of the bar a door leads to the "Eton Snug" which has a single long rough hewn table and a framed display of barrel caps on an end wall. There is a courtyard paved garden to the rear. Two beers from Rebellion, Mutiny and Roasted Nuts plus Lilley's Crazy Goat cider. Food is apparently served but I didn't investigate. The pub felt a bit soulless I thought, not helped by being chilly with the fire unlit and only having a couple of other customers, one being a bloke who kept trying to engage me in pointless and uninteresting conversation.

Interior as described below. 2 real ales and food served.
