Breaking news

September 2018: The Greene Oak has been taken over from Greene King by a team including ex-Ivy and Groucho chef Jamie Dobbin; it's being extensively refurbished and relaunched, so effectively it's a new opening, one that will feature "cask ales, craft beers and fine wines along with our daily changing menu using the very best of British ingredients from our local artisanal suppliers, south coast day boats and rare breed farmers". Sunday roasts will continue.

“Very friendly service with good-quality food on a menu that’s refreshed regularly” is the recipe for success at this smart boozer that is now the flagship of Brucan Pubs, a five-strong group from chef Jamie Dobbin (ex-Savoy, Ivy and Groucho CLub) and James Lyon-Shaw, ex- operations manager at the ETM group. One unusual feature is the horsebox converted into a mini dining room in the garden – a tribute to the regal town’s equestrian tastes, perhaps.

This smart boozer is a “great all-rounder with reliable gastropub fare and a fine garden with covered seating”. It’s the flagship of Brucan Pubs, a small group of ambition founded by a pair with strong credentials, ex-Savoy, Ivy and Groucho club chef Jamie Dobbin and James Lyon-Shaw , formerly operations manager at the ETM group.

This “super gastropub” with an “imaginative menu, sound cooking and very reasonable prices” is a “notably better choice than the more expensive pub-restaurants around Windsor”. It “feels like it’s family-run”, with “excellent service with a smile” – although in fact it was the first launch from former Ivy Club head chef Jamie Dobbin and James Lyon-Shaw, whose Brucan Pubs operation now has four gastroboozers and aims to open another six in the next five years.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
