The Oak & Saw

Proper gastropub doing serious food on Rectory Road—the kind of place where the beer list matters and the kitchen knows what it's doing.

You'll find yourself in Taplow, just the right side of Maidenhead, walking into somewhere that's actually thought about what a gastropub should be. There's no pretension here, but there's real care—in the sourcing, in how things are cooked, in the fact they've bothered with their drinks selection. It's the sort of spot where locals have strong opinions (in a good way) and you'll hear proper conversation rather than just phone scrolling. The vibe is unpretentious but clearly run by people who give a toss about what they're doing.
