   Booked a table in the barn and specified it was for a birthday (my wife’s). When we turned up, we were informed that there was an event in the barn, so they put us in the pub, where nobody else was eating. That’s fine, but the service was virtually non-existent. We waited quite some time after we’d finished our main courses and nobody came to ask us about dessert or if we wanted more drinks (no staff passed by or checked in with us). In the end, we had to ask for the desserts for our kids (from the kids meal menu), at which point we were asked if we wanted a dessert (we didn’t, as we’d had enough by then), but we still weren’t asked if we wanted any drinks. We decided not to spend any more time or money, but nobody came to the table, so finally I went up to ask for the bill. Just to top the experience off, I was charged twice for the meal (fortunately I received two notifications on my phone). When I went to ask for a refund, it was issued (again after a delay), but although I received an email confirming it, more than 24 hours later, it still hasn’t been credited to my account. Overall, a very poor experience and really unfortunate that it was on my wife’s birthday. I sincerely wish we’d gone somewhere else.

   We dine at The Pinkneys Arms regularly and have no hesitation in recommending it. The food is always excellent and service good. The outside area is large with lots of shelter and the inside warm and cosy.

   Lovely pub with a gorgeous beer garden. Food was delicious as usual and service was very good. Nicest pub in Maidenhead!

   This was a first for us, based on the web ratings, it looked worth a try. We were not disappointed, a compact menu made choices easier and going straight to the mains, the food and presentation were excellent, I heartily recommend their Lamb three ways! Friendly service then made for a memorable lunch and a desire to return.

   Booked a table in the restaurant at a less than ideal time, on account of limited availability. 5 minutes before we arrived we were told the restaurant was closed and that we’d be seated in the garden for the limited bbq menu. One chicken kebab ordered was undercooked, as was one of the three burgers. Burgers were also otherwise tasteless.

    Lovely pub, really stylish but welcoming. Beautiful flowers. Food was very good and the staff were helpful, efficient and friendly but not in your face. We weren't called 'guys' once, which is a very good thing.

    Although our waitress was very pleasant the service was slow and patchy. We never received the olives we ordered before our main course. 2nd round of drinks ordered from the waitress did not arrive so had to go to the bar to get them ourselves. The bill had to be corrected twice before it was correct. We only had fish and chips and a duck salad, and the food was good but £68 plus tip for this, two pints of bitter and two glasses of wine is way overpriced for a pub garden, especially where the ketchup comes in sachets. But the beer is good and the atmosphere is always great, so we will keep going there but just for drinks, not to eat!

    Lovely pub. Been there many times. But sadly this time like many places very short in staff so service was very slow. Steak overpriced st £27…. Burger nice but could have had some salad on player. Fish was small but chunky chips were great. We will go again hoping yesterday’s experience was a one off

    Fantastic local for us, such a great example of what a pub should be, with a barn at the back, a big garden and Pinkneys Green just opposite. The team is friendly, hard working and loves what it does. And the food is truly top. Great value, great pub.

    The food was good if not exciting, and took a fairly long time to arrive. The service was good from the very young staff, who we felt would have benefited from some more guidance/training from whoever is in charge. They were welcoming tho and friendly; one of the waiting staff fetched a blanket for our table when the weather got colder. We appreciated the vegan menu, and the mushroom linguine was great

    Lunch menu was not as comprehensive as on website. Fish and chips was ok, but batter over cooked. One pudding was very poor and left uneaten and when told staff member did nor seem to care. Service slow and another customer had to get up and find staff to get service.

    Excellent Sunday lunch as always, whether you pick the pork, beef or chicken they are all delicious and there is a vegetarian version. I love the fact that they always have a vegan option as well. The wine selection is very good! It is very noisy and the only downside is you have to practically shout across the table!

    Disappointing. The sharing platter starter was presented very well. When our main dish of fish and chips eventually arrived, it looked good on the plate, however there was too much batter, albeit very tasty, and very little fish inside. The chips were not very crispy.
