Lunchtime in Windsor: 1300 to 1400

Have lunch in Windsor Castle's Undercroft Cafe or head out to one of the many family-friendly restaurants or cafes in Windsor and Eton.  There are so many different types of cuisine so there's lots on the menu.

Afternoon

Enjoy a boat trip on the River Thames with French Brothers. Their 40-minute trip gives you great views of the Castle. Feed the swans on the river afterwards. Explore the area further and enjoy an open top bus ride around Windsor, Datchet and Eton with Golden Tours. Their circular trip lasts 45 minutes. Pay a visit to Dr Choc's Windsor Chocolate Factory and make your own chocolate creations.  Or work as a team to escape from one of our Escape Rooms (Escape in 60 or Windsor Escape Experience).
