Fox & Castle, Windsor

An impressive half-timbered building but the interior doesn't quite live up to it, a bit too tidy and food based - the pair of modern log burners in the middle set the tone. Friendly enough though and the food was good. It also seems to have extensive outside areas. Three handpumps offered Ghost Ship, which proved to be undrinkable but was rapidly replaced, a good London Pride and Old Rosie cider. Ok for eating at.

Large olde worlde pub, two rooms via central doorway, both served by a central bar. Plus points: low ceilings and beams plus central fire serving both bars. Bad points: Iffy 70s Artex walls, fake beamery, grubby fake flooring. Silent TV with golf showing. Six pumps spread over both bars with three on: Harveys Best (so-so), Pride, TT Landlord. They had run out lemonade (how do you run out of gunned lemonade??), so Desmond not happy. Overall I suppose it’s fair enough but is trading below potential in my view.

Beautiful pub (Will get a photo of it while here) in Old Windsor with a beer garden and childrens play area that was popular in yesterdays heatwave. 2 halves of beer a bit expensive costing £3.70 but they were good. Adnams Broadside and Windsor & Eton Guardsman. One of three, 2 pubs and a workman's club,having events for St George's Day so looking forward to Saturday.
