A shame that Wetherspoons Head Office have seen fit to withdraw the CAMRA 20% discount on food

Great pub excellent choice of good value food and competitively priced beer. Very good service from the two guys normally behind the bar. Everything a local should be. 10/10

Expensive poorly managed pub, it has an absentee Landlord who on his fleeting visits has never got behind the bar to serve his paying customers. What a way to run a pub.

You are right Ben Shockley I've always found the care in the community brigade who block front access a nuisance. It's been a problem here for years under successive management - they need to be taught that it's a Public House not a private drinking den for sixty something "look at me I'm the big I am's"

June 2014 It's price hike time of the year again at this rip off establishment - £0.10 per pint.
A once well run pub serving food this place is a shadow of it's former self

This place really is the pits - they've stopped attempting to do food in the pub and there's now a greasy Kebab van in the car park

Price increase's r us
2 increases in a fortnight including a cynical one to welcome Foresters customers whilst that boozer is closed for a refurb
The Budget is coming up shortly so expect another price hike

I must be a glutton for punishment returning to this overpriced boozer. To get to the bar one often has to negotiate dogs and children running loose.
Talking about bars - has anyone ever seen the Landlord actually behind it serving. On his rare appearances he can be found on the customer side of the bar watching your money go into his till.

Had a meal there this lunchtime, great place - excellent beer and food. Other pubs in the Maidenhead area should take note of how this pub appreciates punters. Would recommend. Not too far to travel out to from Cox Green !

Jan 2011 - big placard outside boasting "No VAT Increase Here !" - very true........they must think we've all got "MUG" written on our foreheads - prices were hiked up once again before Christmas. Off to the Thatched Cottage for a reasonably priced �1.99 pint of Greene King IPA

The Hand and Flowers, Maidenhead
Must've priced themselves out of the market as it's now closed

Swung by for a pint last Sunday lunchtime - bit on the pricy side but I guess that's due to the location. A few quirky characters in there but no knuckledraggers.

Moronic misspelling of name - why not call it Red Lion as it was known as for decades. Looking at the photo more of a restaurant than a pub.

'Spoons have done a great job on the refurbishment and sticking in a bar upstairs but oh dear the staff look like they've come from Care in the Community, someone was a bit tight fisted dishing out the brain cells here.
As one would expect par for the course with sharp suited manager complete with unnecessary trojan style Beckham haircut struts about the wrong side of the bar like Nero as Rome burned.
Good beer when you finally get served and decent food as long as the cook looks at the photos, uses his fingers and counts three sausages, not one, onto the plate alongside the chips & beans

This pub has gone downhill - once famed for it's food now little on offer. Word is that the lease is up and the place is going back to the pub owning company shortly. Shouldn't complain though as anywhere is better than the Foresters down the road.

Bone idle Manager Geoff (brother of owner) even if no other staff present will not shift himself to serve you when he's perched on a barstool staring into space.

The Farmers Boy, Maidenhead
Well run neighbourhood / estate type pub - good value for money beer and food
