We used to be regulars here when Bobby and John owned it and it was a local "institution" then when sold it when down hill quickly. So it was with some trepidation we went to the Winning Post. We need not have worried when we got there the whole pub/restaurant had been re-furbished and looks great and the Lady behind... More

Good all round pub! We enjoyed our stay and despite continuing refurbishment everything was up to scratch. Lovely ribeye steak and superb foisgras starter. The rooms are spacious but for me needed a bit more attention to detail when cleaning.

Not your average local. Fantastic venue, staff and food. Quite expensive but worth ever penny and somewhere to go for that special occasion. It offers rooms as well in an area that provides easy access to both windsor and ascot.

The staff could not have been more helpful.We were even allowed to stay overnight when the hotel was not officially open as we required no service. A family meal ( for 17)was served well and was delicious for all tastes and choices. Our needs fluctuated but were cheerfully dealt with. Only complaint was that there was a problem with the... More

If you want to charge West End prices then you had better produce West End quality .. which this definitely is not... Visited New Year's Day. As soon as we sat down at 2.00pm we a were told what was that there was only 4 steaks left ! Drinks order was brought incorrectly. Overall Very Very Average...

I visited here a few weeks ago and was shocked by the changes. I had driven past it a number of times during its refurbisment and it looked amazing. I went in midweek for some lunch with family and it was fantastic! I love the new look, the staff were helpful and the food was good, but maybe slightly too... More

After hearing that The Cottage Inn had been taken over we were keen to try it out (we had visited under the previous ownership and found the staff to be really snooty!) as it's not far from home and could be a great local, independent place to eat or have a couple of drinks. We were looking for somewhere to... More

I've just moved into the area and I have tried all the local pubs and this is the best by far. Really nice welcoming atmosphere and great food and beer. Also in contrast to other gastro pubs, the decor has been done in a truly individual style and not in an identikit Fullers or Green King format

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Winning Post is a newly refurbished pub, restaurant and inn, set in quiet countryside, close to both Ascot and Windsor. The 18th Century building, which houses our bar and restaurant, has many cosy nooks and crannies and with its retained stone floor and huge open fire, it has lost none of its character. The pub has a private dining area suitable for parties of up to 20, and plenty of space in the bar area and beer garden to eat, drink and chat to your heart’s content. Although the Winning Post is situated off the beaten track in peaceful Winkfield, its proximity to Heathrow airport, the towns of Windsor, Ascot, Eton and the stunning Berkshire countryside make it a popular spot for people passing through for both business and pleasure. Long a favourite with equine-inclined folk, we believe that a stay at our pub will bring you luck for your day at the nearby Ascot or Royal Windsor Racecourses, The Royal County of Berkshire or Guards Polo Clubs. Try your luck at The Winning Post! - 10 rooms (eight double, two twin)- Beer garden - Private dining area available - Food served seven days a week - Close to Windsor, Ascot, Eton - Pets welcomeThe peaceful bedrooms at the back of pub are furnished to a high standard, to ensure maximum comfort throughout your stay. We have ten rooms in total, all with full or partial garden views. The eight double and two twin rooms all have a TV, en-suite bathroom, access to wi-fi and tea/coffee-making facilities. We have staff on hand at all times dedicated to serving hotel guests so if you have any special requests, please do not hesitate to ask. ... more   less
