Exceptional Venues for Private Dining & Celebrations
The Waterside Inn, Bray
The Waterside Inn stands among the world’s most enduring fine-dining institutions. This elegant riverside restaurant in Bray has held three Michelin stars continuously since 1985, making it not only a benchmark of culinary excellence in Britain but also one of the longest-running three-star establishments in the world outside France.
Under Chef Patron Alain Roux, its refined French-inspired cuisine and impeccably seasonal menus — from classic fish preparations to signature soufflés and beyond — are served in a timeless setting by the Thames, creating a memorable and deeply elevated dining experience
The Fat Duck
Also located in Bray, The Fat Duck offers one of the most imaginative and celebrated dining experiences in the world. Led by Heston Blumenthal, this restaurant holds three Michelin stars and is consistently recognised in the MICHELIN Guide for its inventive, multi-sensory tasting menus that turn a meal into a narrative journey.
Perfect for guests seeking something unforgettable and extraordinary, The Fat Duck’s tasting experience can be paired with private transfers by car or boat for ease and comfort.
The Hinds Head offers a different but equally compelling culinary experience. Holding a Michelin star for over a decade, this historic 15th-century inn blends traditional British pub heritage with refined, ingredient-led cooking under the guidance of Heston Blumenthal’s team.
Rather than theatrical tasting menus, The Hinds Head celebrates deeply rooted British flavours — from slow-cooked meats and game to beautifully prepared seasonal dishes — all delivered with warmth and understated precision. It is refined without being formal, polished without losing its sense of place.
For guests who wish to enjoy Michelin-recognised cuisine in a setting that feels grounded, historic and characterful, The Hinds Head provides an exceptional yet relaxed alternative in the heart of Bray.
Charming Country Pubs in Windsor
For those seeking something more relaxed, Windsor’s historic pubs offer fireside hospitality and heritage charm. On the Windsor Estate, The Fox and Hounds remains a favourite—serving seasonal dishes in a setting beloved by locals.
Within the town itself, The Two Brewers—just steps from Windsor Great Park—is ideal for a cosy end to a day of exploring. These handpicked venues deliver a true sense of place and welcome.
Afternoon Tea in Windsor Great Park
Private Dining Just Steps From Your Carriage
For an intimate and accessible experience, we offer private dining rooms seating up to 12 guests, located just 14 steps from carriage arrival. These spaces are perfectly suited for guests requiring discreet access or mobility support, combining comfort with sophistication.
Or for up to two guests, enjoy afternoon tea while within the carriage on the estate. Sparkling wine or a traditional pot of tea can even be served to you en route, adding an extra touch of theatre and tradition to the day.
More Than Just Private Dining: Crafting an Exclusive Experience
Your celebration begins long before the first course is served. With our expert planning and signature service, every aspect—from luxury transfers to bespoke carriage arrivals—is curated to perfection.
Whether it’s a twilight ride to your venue or a glass of chilled sparkling wine served as you travel, we create extraordinary experiences for those who value both elegance and ease.
Estate Luncheons: A Pitch-Side Affair
For those with a love of equestrian sport, we can arrange private luncheons at Guards Polo Club. Catered by Searcys of London—the UK’s oldest catering house—this pitch-side experience blends timeless style with the thrill of live polo. Ideal for entertaining clients or celebrating a special occasion with family and friends.
A Royal Connection: Queen Victoria’s Picnics by Carriage
Our dining experiences are inspired by Windsor’s long-standing traditions of refined outdoor hospitality—traditions that date back to Queen Victoria herself.
The Queen was known to enjoy elegant luncheons within Windsor Great Park, often travelling by open carriage to a favoured picnic spot.
Her household staff would discreetly set up folding tables, teapots, and fine crockery nearby, while she remained seated within her carriage—taking tea in comfort and privacy, surrounded by the beauty of the estate.
It’s this very spirit that inspires our modern-day estate dining: a quiet elegance, rooted in history, yet elevated with thoughtful details for today’s discerning guest.
Exclusive Estate Picnics: A Quintessentially British Experience
For those seeking a celebration that combines tradition, charm, and exquisite service, our estate picnics offer a unique and memorable option.
Using beautifully crafted walnut picnic furniture delivered by carriage, we create an idyllic setup in a scenic location within Windsor Great Park.
Each hamper is filled with artisanal British fare; local cheeses, charcuterie, fresh salads, sweet treats and accompanied by chilled estate wine or Fortnum's tea.
A dedicated concierge carriage travels with your group, providing access to restrooms when required, additional refreshments, and transport as needed, ensuring a seamless and unhurried experience.
