About

The Winning Post – A Quintessential Country Escape

Nestled between Ascot, Maidenhead and Bracknell, The Winning Post is a charming country pub in the heart of Berkshire, serving food all day, every day. Whether you’re after a relaxed drink, a classic pub meal, or a private dining experience, our beautifully restored 18th-century inn offers the perfect setting.

Step inside to discover colourful, cosy nooks, original stone floors, and a roaring open fire – the perfect backdrop for catching up with friends or unwinding with family. Our newly refurbished bedrooms are now open for bookings, offering a stylish and comfortable stay in a peaceful village setting.

A favourite among locals and visitors alike, The Winning Post is just a short drive from Windsor and Ascot, making it a popular stop for racegoers and polo fans heading to Ascot Racecourse, Royal Windsor Racecourse, or the nearby Guards Polo Club.

Come for the food, stay for the charm.
