Bombay Story is an informal, modern, genuine Indian kitchen; the concept is based on the highest quality Indian street and home cooked food. Salads, grills and breads feature in a short, but well thought out, versatile all-day menu.

Very rare to give 5 stars across the board but Bombay Story in Maidenhead earned them with ease. The staff were lovely, the ambience and vibe was great, the food was exceptional (aromatic and cooked to perfection), the cocktails were as you would want, and the bill was fair and worth paying. 5 stars *****

About the restaurant

Set on the edge of the picturesque Wessex Downs in the North Hampshire countryside, Malverleys is a small farm, restaurant, bakery and shop. We offer a versatile space for the local community to enjoy coffee, wholesome food and carefully sourced produce.

Malverleys provides an outlet immersed in the countryside where friends and family can meet, or those seeking time to themselves can enjoy the comfortable, tranquil atmosphere. Visitors have the opportunity to purchase sustainably sourced products, attend horticultural workshops, and dine in the restaurant where ingredients are seasonal and often raised/grown on-site in the market garden and surrounding land. We also source the best of British fish, with deliveries throughout the week from day-boats landing at Looe harbour and from Hampshire's chalk streams.

Great food and service but had to be moved table before dessert which was really annoying. Management did offer us a discount which was good. Definitely would recommend

About the restaurant

Welcome to Knead, our sustainable pizzeria based in the heart of Maidenhead. Brought to you by husband and wife team Simon & Olivia Perry, become part of the Knead fam and let our staff sling out the very best ‘zas and spritz around. A fan of spice? Sergeant Scoville has you covered with fiery British ‘Nduja, fresh chillies and a drizzle of hot honey. A classicist? Fear not, Princess Margherita is pizza royalty on our menu.

Our lively pizzeria is modest, modern and wonderful, seating 50 comfortably inside and with a relaxed outdoor area for you to enjoy the evening sun with an aperitivo and a slice in hand. Expect banging pizzas, fresh small plates, local beers and a carefully curated cocktail menu.

We’re a short walk from the train station and with Paddington less than 25 minutes away and Maidenhead being served by the new Elizabeth Line, London is on our doorstep. If you’re visiting from the capital, why not make a day of it and visit nearby Boulders Lock, Bray or Cliveden House?

Maidenhead

About the restaurant

Welcome to The Crown at Burchetts Green.

My aim has always been to offer beautiful food in an authentic English pub. Dishes that are heart-warming, seasonal, and packed with flavor. All I wanted was for our guests to return home happy and contented! This aim established our reputation and remains firmly in place today.

At The Crown, our hospitality will be based on exactly these principles - seasoned, I hope, with a pinch of added ambition in the kitchen. And on the floor front-of-house, you will be greeted and looked after by Amber Flint and her team.
We look forward to welcoming you and cooking for you very soon.

About the restaurant

Taking hospitality back to its roots with a warm welcome from our genuinely friendly team breathing new life back into the heart of the community.
The menu will offer daily, hyper-seasonal specials, and plenty of British game, meat and fish. Executive chef and owner, Jamie Dobbin is passionate about local sourcing and traditional dishes, such as Half dozen Porthilly rock oysters with shallot dressing, Brixham King scallops with burnt butter cauliflower and caviar or Portland hogget Shepherd’s pie with grilled cutlet.
Serious meat lovers can expect 45 day aged native and rare breed steak on offer as well as a hero dish of Beef Wellington for two. Fish is of course wild, sustainable, and British, sourced from day boats on the South coast with the daily catch delivered straight to the door in a matter of hours. There is a handsome bar menu too, and as always, Sunday roasts are a big fixture on the menu every week.

First time eating here and we had a lovely meal. Not too noisy. The front of house lady and general service was excellent without being obtrusive.
