Awful food, meat in vegetarian dishes!
Very much a chain pub, no real Landlord or person who cares, just a target driven manager

A proper English pub, selling great beer, I had Binfield best which is brewed just for this pub, they also had 3 other beers on including Old Boy from West Berks.
In addition to great beer the do great food like the excellent, and very traditional, ploughmans I had. The menu also offers plenty of choice for vegetarians.

The Three Legged Cross, Warfield
No longer a Pub but a Bar Restaurant it should be removed from BITE.
The keg St Edmunds is NOT real ale, but at least it is ice cold, unlike the warm coke from a bottle and the complete lack of ice. They don't sell crisps because "we are a restaurant, not a pub"

Superb vegetarian (and non veggie) selection. Simple and very well cooked, local seasonal food. highly recommended. Well worth a visit.

Gastro Food - Boil in the bag, with a bit of over cooked freshish veg on the side, no real beer.

The pub, once at the centre of Windsor forest, has real beams and a large Inglenook fireplace ideal for cold winter days.
There is plenty of outside seating to enjoy any fine weather. Three seperate rooms plus large restraunt area. The "Library" features a range of favorite games, boards and cards. No pool, no TV very nice.
Great food, but not inexpensive
Had three good ales when I visited, I had Hooky, Bomberdier was also on, fortgot what the other was.
Beer was slightly warmer than I would have liked, as was the pub, roaring fires, it was cold out.
Nice staff.

Tatty, ramshackled and superb, good choice of beer, well kept beer, a real pub for people, basic, almost "spit n sawdust" a local pub where they know each others names.
I liked it, I'll be back

Nice Pub, good selection of beers and ciders, if you sit at the back you can look out over the canal, there is an outdoor patio area with heaters. Non smoking, inexpensive.
No TV, Pool Tables or other such annoyances.

Now a totally NON Smoking pub, 7 bar areas, 2 main bars, 6 or so real ales, 2 beer festivals a year, inexpensive, food is okay as well (menu doesn't change much so a little boring if you eat there much) .
No Big Screen TV, No Music, No Pool Tables...

Expensive fancy food, reheated on the premises with the most basic skills, badly done, no real beer everything is keg.

The best "chain" pub ever, large, non smoking areas, inexpensive, lots of real ale, 2 beer festivals a year, food is not "exciting", but tollerable.

The New Inn, Eype
Deeply unpleasant pint of Palmers copper ale from the end of a barrel. Replaced with fresh pint, but still not great.
The food was not great, it was featured in a TV program with Hugh Fernley Whittingstall as the venue for the pudding club, so the tourists come regardless.
The food was not great, we tried the pudding based on reputation and that was not great either.
Dirty and unkempt.
I would not go back.
