The Piper Art Bar — Restaurant in England

This used to be one of our most favourite pubs in Windsor. Being locals, we visited regularly. It had been a few months since we last visited and we walked into 3 people sitting in the pub on a Saturday night and the music blasting at maximum volume. We had only popped in for a quick drink and my husband out of curiosity asked about a whisky that was on display and was told it was a particular price a shot, and then responded "oh okay, can we please get half a pint of larger". This was his original order. We had guests from out of town this day and our guest asked out of curiosity about another whisky and quickly the lady behind the bar told him he couldn't afford to drink that and should stick to half a pint of larger.

Firstly, we used to go in this pub, and due to it's large whisky selection spend a good amount of time enquiring and learning about the whisky collection, the staff USED TO be really informative and discuss the whisky's with us.

Secondly, how does the bar staff know what we can or cannot afford. On this night my husband wanted a larger as he wasn't drinking as much as usual due to a busy day the next day and whether or not his decision for a larger was financial he should not be treated like that. Due to this me and another of our guests chose not to stay and have a drink and leave.

Absolutely appalled and I hope the management reads this and consider their staff choice...

I saw this bar while walking around Windsor and I thought the art and ambiance was a neat idea. I went in for dinner and a drink and everyone was very friendly. But then things started to go south. It took 25min before someone could take my order, and it wasn't very busy. When the appetizer came (garlic bread) it was dry, as though it had been cooked too long. The main plate, fish and chips with mushy peas, was the blandest I've had in England, and as I travel there often for work, I've had the fish and chips at many restaurants. As I paid the bill and prepared to leave I asked to take the fries to go, as they were the tastiest part of the meal, however the server informed me there were no take-away containers. It was also quite bothersome that they didn't take AMEX. Overall, I would compare my experience to a hipster pub in the US: too much flair and show and not enough service or focus on the actual dining experience. I would really be interested to see if they take this feedback into account so I can give them another try, the staff were...

Went out for a family meal over the weekend. Initially, the pub seemed decent, but upon closer inspection, it wasn’t as clean as expected. Given its pub setting, my expectations weren’t high. However, the food was a huge disappointment. Opted for the Sunday roast, and it turned out to be the worst I’ve ever had. The beef seemed like a cheap cut, likely reheated, and the roast potatoes lacked the desired crunch, suggesting they were also reheated.. Despite the menu promising roasted parsnips, they were absent, replaced by mixed vegetables that resembled the frozen variety you find in supermarkets which was overly boiled and lacked any seasoning (ie SALT). The Yorkshire pudding was overly oily and tasted solely of oil. Our waitress was unable to provide any helpful information about the dishes, especially regarding allergens, which was concerning. Instead of offering to check with the kitchen, she simply stated ‘she didn’t know’. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this pub for a meal. Save your money and dine elsewhere for a...
