The Crooked House of Windsor — Attraction in England

Although we did not eat here, we had a great time taking pictures out front and in the back as it is such a unique house!

The Crooked House of Windsor, also known as the Market Cross House, is a historic building located in Windsor, Berkshire, near Windsor Castle. It was originally built in 1592 but was reconstructed in 1718 after the original structure was demolished to make way for the Guildhall.

The house is famous for its pronounced lean, giving it a distinctly crooked appearance. This tilt is due to the use of green, unseasoned oak in the reconstruction, which warped over time. The building has served various purposes over the centuries, including as a butcher's shop, a jewelry store, and a tea room.

Today, the Crooked House of Windsor is a charming tourist attraction and a delightful piece of Windsor's history, reflecting the quaint and picturesque character of the town. Its unique architecture and historical significance make it a popular spot for visitors...

£9 for a sourdough sandwich filled with a few bits of cremated streaky bacon and a few leaves of rocket salad was an absolute rip off. I wish I had taken a photo. The whole menu is way overpriced.

The coffee was good but the cups were so small it simply wasn’t worth £3.60.

I had to find menus myself as we were left waiting ages after being seated. Then they had the audacity to add 12.5% service charge in addition to the inflated prices! Not discretionary but automatically included.

£28 for two coffees and two sandwiches is an abysmal example of how the hospitality industry in tourist areas deliberately fleece people. Absolute...
