Royal Windsor, Windsor

A convenient stop for a quick pint if you have 20 mins or so to kill before a train as I did, but that's about it. Large and impersonal with several connected areas. Stone flagged floors, fake beamed ceiling and lots of dark wood do not detract from the general feel of total mediocrity. TV screens were showing the cricket, which amused me slightly as I guess this place exists on reeling in the tourists as they emerge from Riverside Station opposite; I'm sure however the Americans love cricket. Beers on were 6X, Ringwood Fortyniner, and Marstons Pedigree. £3.30 this far out of town suggests clearly where their market lies. My pint was pulled very short too, had to ask for a top up that was quite obviously required. The perfect example of a pub that does not need to try too hard.

This is an old picture. Have been there since and it is just as good.
