The Royal Stag

You'll find yourself on The Green in Datchet, that quieter corner just outside Windsor proper where things feel a bit slower and altogether more neighbourly. The Royal Stag isn't trying to be anything it isn't—it's a proper local's pub where you recognize faces at the bar and the staff actually know your order. The menu's honest rather than flashy: expect proper pub fare done well, the kind of place where a Sunday roast doesn't come with pretension or silly foam. It's the sort of spot where you can easily spend a few hours nursing a real ale without anyone making you feel like you should order another round.
