Emma If it was good enough for Prince Philip’s stag do it was good enough for the birthday boy. Surprised to be able to book a table for Easter Sunday on the same week we scrubbed ourselves up to match Berkshire’s finest.
After a gin & tonic and a half of Windsor Knot pale ale to celebrate the impending wedding, we left the union flag-festooned bar for the main eating area.
ham hock and foie gras terrine with piccalilli
Superb flavours the piccalilli just had the right amount of tang to liven up the ham
tea-smoked salmon with soda bread
tasty salmon however not much of a tea smokiness
Roast beef with the best yorkie I’ve tasted in a restaurant, gorgeous horseradish sauce too. the beef was tender, moist and a refreshing pink colour.
Chicken, leek and ham pie with a side of triple-cooked chips
Birthday boy wasn’t happy with the size of the pie but it was full to the brim and tasty.
Quaking pudding – kind of like an egg custard pudding, pretty bland.
lemon tart – zesty and thick, full of flavour.
£96.75 for two half pints, a G&T, one glass of wine and two, three-course dinners. Delicious food and great service but it’s a Heston fan-ville.
Note: since our visit, the Hind’s Head was awarded a Michelin star.
