Are you looking for somewhere in the Windsor and Maidenhead area to enjoy food and drink in the fresh air? There are plenty of lovely restaurants, pubs, cafés and hotels with outside space so you can dine al fresco! We’d argue that food definitely tastes better in the open air!
Stroll into Windsor Royal, Station Shopping and you’ll discover lots of cafés and restaurants with outside seating yet also protected from the elements by the elegant glass arches of the Victorian railway station. Sit yourself down at Bill’s Windsor for one of their famous brunches or drop by Cinnamon Café for breakfast, lunch or an afternoon 'pick me up'.
Al fresco dining at The George Inn, Eton
The George Inn is on Eton High Street across the River Thames, facing the bridge and offering views of Windsor Castle. There is a beer garden plus a function room called The Hop House. The George offers a warm, classic pub experience steeped in history and framed by a prime location. It's the flagship pub for Windsor & Eton Brewery so you can enjoy excellent, handcrafted beers alongside your meal.
What could be nicer than dining al fresco by the riverside? Côte Brasserie is on the Eton side of the Thames, just by the pedestrian bridge that separates Windsor and Eton. Request a table on the terrace right by the water’s edge for a perfect view of Windsor Castle and a great place to watch the river traffic float by! Cross to the Windsor side of the Thames and settle down at a terrace table with river views at Sir Christopher Wren Hotel.
