The North Star

Walk into The North Star and you'll find exactly what a neighbourhood pub should be: unpretentious, welcoming, and genuinely frequented by people from round here rather than just passing through. It's the kind of place where regulars have their spots, the staff know what you drink, and the atmosphere feels earned rather than manufactured. You'll get decent pints, straightforward food if you're hungry, and a proper sense of community—the sort of local that's become rarer in Maidenhead's increasingly polished town centre. This is where you come to feel at home, not to be seen.
