The Duke of Connaught, Windsor

An excellent pub. The landlord, Mel, is a top man (despite being a Man City supporter). The Duke has a great atmosphere, the service is top-quality (particularly from Aidan) and the food is very good indeed (the tuna sandwich is outstanding!). Well worth a visit!

The Morning Star, Datchet

For various reasons, The Morning Star has unfortunately enjoyed a poor reputation for many years. However, a recent change of ownership has resulted in the pub undergoing a huge and highly benficial chsnge. There has been a vast amount of cleaning, a great deal of redecoration and overall improvement to the decor etc. Any former troublemaking elements have been very firmly barred and the general ambience is now that of a pub where you will be welcomed and can expect a friendly atmosphere and a good laugh. There is an excellent Quiz Night every Monday at 9:00 which is much more fun than the average pub quiz night. The questions and presentation are a little bit more "outside the box" than usual and there is a cash rollover question every week (which is currently standing at �135), together with a free buffet for all customers. The Morning Star already has a darts team and is in the process of creating a football team. There is a pool table and pool tournaments are held regularly. I am totally confident that things will only improve further as quickly as is possible.
