The Alma

Came in here on NYE for an early pint before going somewhere else. It was very nice and we had fun. It’s cosy without being stuffy, cool without being frosty.

In fact it was the first time I had been back since about 1995, when we came in during the middle of a notorious day time party (for one of our friends’ daughter’s one year old birthday party) who used to live in the street and were chucked out and barred for various examples of bad behaviour and disrespect to the place and each other. Highly embarrassing but very funny.

But anyway, it’s a nice pub with a great reputation. Like the area, the place has changed a little bit since I was last there but that’s all for the better in my opinion.

I’ve been visiting the Alma for a few years now, and love it every time I go. It’s full of interesting curios and antiques, all for sale, which give the pub so much character and atmosphere, and so much to look at. There’s a variety of seating suitable for curling up with a paper or a group drink with friends, really lovely.

The service is always quick and friendly, the landlord in particular is a wonderful man – I hosted a big lunch at this pub one summer day and he went above and beyond to make it special.

They have a great garden – a rarity in a Windsor pub – with plenty of grass area and covered decking to sit on, and of course more curios around the garden.
I’ve eaten here a couple of times and the food is superb – they don’t cut costs on quality or quantity at all, really good quality food well cooked.

There’s another pub which is commonly known as ‘the best in Windsor’ – but this one gets the vote for me, it’s a little off the beaten track, but only a 5 minute walk from the town centre and definitely worth the visit.

great homely pub... furniture is mismatched, chairs wobbly, odd jugs, pictures and posters are all around.... and you feel like you are in a cosy, alcohol serving version of your grandma's living room!

They serve food on weekend evenings and sunday all day.

Great garden- which i understand can be hired for private summer parties

This is my home-from-home. The genuinely friendly and delightful couple who run it, their crew of cheerful assistants, Captain the adorable resident dog, quirky antiques, home-made food… what’s not to love? I regularly hold parties here as the food is superb and such good value, and it really feels like hosting at home. Snuggle by the cosy fire in winter or chill out in the well-kept garden in summer -oh, and the all-day Sunday brunch is second to none!

Lovely locals pub just outside the centre of Windsor. A very friendly pub…don’t think it is a pure locals pub - they do invite and look after new customers!
The furniture is quirky which adds to the ambience of the pub and the food is very good. The garden has had some work on and is lovely - very private and secluded so ideal for families in the summer.

The Alma is a lovely, local, traditional English pub on Springfield Road. You always get a friendly welcome. The food menu is simple - veg chilli was good. It’s got a really relaxed warm, atmosphere. There’s a real fire in winter and a lovely beer garden for the summer. Furniture / interesting nic nacks are for sale around the pub.
