Quick info
About The Old Hatchet
On Hatchet Ln in Windsor, The Old Hatchet is a pub built in the 16th century, with beams and open fires still part of the building. A garden gives extra seating for lunch or drinks. Lunch options run to a ploughman's and scampi and chips, alongside fish and chips served with a generous portion of fish. Wings Wednesday brings a weekly special to the regular menu, and Sunday roast is a recurring draw on weekends. It operates as a walk-in pub, quieter on weekday lunchtimes and busier at weekends, when roast service can mean items are occasionally forgotten at the table. The room keeps its old timber character throughout, giving the space an older, established feel alongside the modern and classic pub food on offer.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday roast is the main draw at this country pub, with diners praising roast lamb and a fantastic roast at a superb price, and one family calling the food fresh and piping hot. Close behind are the friendly, welcoming staff, praised in most reviews. Other dishes reviewers name include pork belly followed by a white peach creme brulee, fish and chips with a surprisingly large fish, a ploughman's, and scampi and chips eaten in the garden, which a few describe as perfect for a sunny lunch. Reviewers also mention the old beams and character, a cosy feel, and very clean bathrooms, and weekday lunchtime visits are repeatedly described as quiet. The complaints are few. One Sunday roast diner found service hit and miss, with lovely staff who kept forgetting to bring things, and another found it a little more expensive than their local. One party was accommodated with a Sunday roast just before the kitchen closed and thanked the chefs.

“My friend and I went for lunch and sat outside in the garden, which is perfect for a sunny day. It was quiet at the time (1- 3pm Thursday) but i daresay it is probably a lot busier at the weekends. The service was very good and so was the food/drink if a little more expensive than our locals but would definitely go again as a change of scenery in a nice setting is always worth a little extra.”

“A beautiful traditional country pub with great food and friendly polite staff. We went at lunchtime on a week day, so it was very quiet. So cosy and welcoming, I wish we could have stayed longer! We will definitely be back for dinner one evening or for some relaxing drinks in the garden.”

“First time at The Old Hatchet. We went for a few drinks and it was lovely. Staff friendly, place was very clean. Lovely decor and had an "Oldy world" feeling about it. Bathroom was squeaky clean too. Friend had a few picky bits to eat which she enjoyed.”
