The Loch & The Tyne by Adam Handling

Loved my late lunch here. Booked for a Sunday roast and can’t recommend it enough! The service, ambience and menu were absolutely amazing.

Food was fantastic, we got the tuna tartare, burger and ravioli. The staff were absolutely wonderful, made the experience a little more special. Even got a little Bday froggy card! Would definitely want to check out the other restaurants too.

Amazing food and amazing service. Booked this off the back of an American Express deal and so glad we did. Great menu with some very original dishes that encourages you to order a share as you want to try a bit of everything. Staff were super attentive and also knew all the dishes and their ingredients to help you choose. Well worth the 10 minute taxi out of Eaton to visit here.

Exceptional meal from entry to exit! I came to emulate an American Thanksgiving, ordered the turkey and the steak. The turkey was the best I’d ever had, which is impressive given I’ve had turkey for 3 decades. The service & staff were incredibly friendly and professional. Every bite we had was amazing. Could not recommend this place enough!

What a lovely place! Recommended by a local Airbnb host, this made for an incredible lunch. I never thought I’d rave about fish and chips, but they were magical here. I’m not sure how they made the batter so crunchy and delicious, but the chef did a marvellous job. The staff were also delightful. They must employ a lot of young local people, and the staff training is clearly wonderful as they were uniformly brilliant. We will return!

We were digital scanning hotels & restaurants for virtual tours in the area and came across this lovely spot for lunch — The Loch & The Tyne. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, with a real attention to detail in both the setting and the service. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour, and the team absolutely loved the whole experience. It was the perfect break in our day — highly recommended for anyone looking for great food, great people, and a charming countryside setting. Our whole team loved it!

Absolutely outstanding, this place is a true gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between warm, welcoming, and effortlessly stylish. It’s the kind of space where you immediately feel comfortable, whether you’re here for a casual meal or a special occasion. The staff deserve special praise. Every visit, they have been attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring, without ever feeling intrusive. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and that energy makes a huge difference in the overall experience. And the food simply exceptional. Every dish is beautifully presented, thoughtfully prepared, and bursting with flavor. The consistency is what truly stands out: this is my fourth time coming back, and each visit has been just as impressive as the last. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers at such a high level every single time. This is the kind of place you recommend without hesitation and keep returning to again and again. I’ll definitely be back and many more times to come. Keep up the amazing work!

I simply love this place. My third visit now (I sadly live about 4 hours away from Windsor). Each visit has been perfection and an absolute treat! Firstly let me start off by saying ALL the team are the best you will encounter anywhere. All are friendly, welcoming, incredibly knowledgeable and clearly share Adam’s passion for food. Nothing is too much trouble for them and service is out of this world. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a couple on a fancy dinner or a family with teens and little ones, everyone gets treated like the most important person. The food is unreal. I don’t think anything I write will do it justice. Whatever your dinner choice you MUST have the bread with chicken butter. It’s the most beautiful, flavourful little treat to get you started. Kids menu offers huge portions and excellent value. So nice to see that quality isn’t compromised just because they’re kids! The burger melted in your mouth and was packed with flavour. You could taste how incredible the beef was. Fish was super crispy and fell apart. The little touches like curry sauce, super fresh peas and the homemade tartare all finished it perfectly. I’ve been dreaming about the L&T trifle since my last visit and it absolutely did not disappoint, a beautifully powerful ginger and fruit trifle. We also got a sticky toffee pudding which as you would expect was disgustingly decadent and so very delicious. I’d like to thank you for my birthday card and really making a fuss of us! Special mention to Mia and Grace for being the most perfect and attentive hosts. I’ve been fan girling over Adam Handling for many years and he is my absolute foody hero so will always love this place but imagine my excitement when after my visit yesterday I saw on his Insta that he was on the pass at the Loch and Tyne this weekend so that made my visit even better, just wish I’d asked to say hello now. Can’t wait to drive across country and dine with you again!

Wow and wow ! We were recommended here by friends and boy we weren’t disappointed. I had to try the famous cheese do nuts and they were delicious. Had the burger which was arguably the best I’ve ever eaten . Finished up with the apple tart tatin to share which was perfect .

Yet again, the Loch & Tyne excelled in every department! Every part of our meal is a taste sensation! The atmosphere is wonderful, and the staff are exceptional. Genuinely lovely and friendly, couldn’t be more helpful! Today Matilda looked after us and she was just fantastic, so polite, friendly and professional, a credit to the company!

We had a fantastic dining experience here and would highly recommend it. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, with a refined countryside feel that makes it great for both a casual treat and a special occasion. The food was exceptional throughout. The Ultimate Hash Browns and Cheese Doughnut were standout starters — creative, indulgent, and packed with flavour. The beef tartare was fresh and beautifully balanced. For mains, the ribeye steak cooked medium rare was spot on — tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The burger was equally impressive and clearly made with top-quality ingredients. The squash ravioli was delicate, well-executed, and a great vegetarian option on the table. Service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, with staff happy to guide choices and explain dishes. Timing between courses was just right and nothing felt rushed. Overall, superb food, excellent service, and a memorable meal. We’ll definitely be back.

We visited The Loch & The Tyne by Adam Handling today and it was beyond outstanding — truly one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. From the very first bite right through to dessert, everything was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavour, and the wine and cocktails were spot on too. We celebrated a birthday here and it felt genuinely special — the whole place is beautifully run, highly organised, calm, and welcoming, with a team that’s incredibly attentive and adds a real personal touch. A special mention for how thoughtfully they handled my dietary requirements: I’m Sikh and only eat specific types of meat, and they took it seriously and looked after me perfectly without any fuss, which meant a lot. I came with my partner and we both left thrilled — gorgeous food, brilliant service, and a memorable atmosphere. Huge thank you to everyone at The Loch & The Tyne — the chefs, the front-of-house team, and everyone behind the scenes — for making our birthday celebration so special. Can’t recommend it enough and we’ll definitely be back!

Amazing food, super friendly attentive staff and warm atmosphere. We were celebrating a birthday and they even prepared and hand signed a birthday card for us. Lovely lil detail. Also very friendly with our dog.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch here. The food and service was absolutely fantastic and the range of options is very good indeed. The cheese doughnuts are to die for as is the chicken butter to begin. The pork belly was melt in your mouth and the date pudding was the perfect ending on a cold winter day.

This is one of the best meals I have had in my life and I eat in a lot of nice places. We are staying at The Fairmont and the food here far exceeds that of our hotel. Everything is so flavoursome. Clearly they have very very talented chefs who know about flavour and cooking. We have booked again for tomorrow! Thank you.

It's easy to approach The Loch & The Tyne with a degree of cynicism - Adam Handling isn't backwards in coming forward when it comes to heavy-handed personal branding (so much so that he's advertising signed copies of his books at somewhat jaw dropping prices on the a la carte menu), and it would be easy to guess the kitchen rests heavily on his reputation without the quality to back it up (something anyone who has visited any of Gordon Ramsay's high street options can attest to). But I'm happy to say that cynicism would be misplaced. The famous cheese doughnuts are famous for a reason. The grill options are cooked to perfection. The kim chi mac and cheese is a top tier side. And the sticky date pudding is one of the best of the genre I've ever tried, which somewhat consoled us after realising we'd forgotten to order the apple tarte tatin at the start (45 minute wait!). The atmosphere is very "noughties gastropub", but not in an unpleasant way. And the team are very warm and friendly, if a touch overrun (we had to ask three times for a Coke Zero before it arrived). Small fly in the ointment - for a restaurant that calls out its dog-friendliness, and given we'd phoned ahead to explicitly make them aware we'd be bringing ours, we were a bit disappointed to be put on a table with only a narrow gap between us and the next diners for our pup to settle in. Appreciate space is at a premium, but there were more suitable tables in the restaurant and they didn't quite live up to the promise when we rang that "dogs are as welcome, if not more welcome, than people!".

Wow what a truly inspiring restaurant! Exquisite food that’s sustainable and zero waste. The restaurant has its own garden where they grow some of their own berries fruits, and vegetables. The manager gave us history of the restaurant, what its pledge is, and what local ingredients went into each of the dishes. Easily catered for our vegan and dairy free friends. Truly tasty and wonderfully presented food. Really a must try!

One of the best Sunday roasts I’ve been to, if not the best. The roasted potatoes were out of this world, perfect balance of crunch outside and softness inside. I’d recommend the very well crafted Beef Wellington. And the tarte tatin is just beautiful. Great for a lazy Sunday. Pet-friendly.

Went at lunchtime on a Sunday and took the Sunday Lunch menu. Was a busy service, however the staff made it look easy, with friendly and courteous service. Food was excellent, although I'd say starters and main edged the desserts in terms of execution and taste. The Salmon, avocado and jalapeno dish , and the steak tartare were absolutely delicious, and just different enough in their execution to stand out from similar dishes elsewhere. Will certainly return.

Superb. The cheese doughnuts, the spicy tuna tartare, the hake, the Fish & Chips, even the charred hispi cabbage absolute perfection. The atmosphere, the drinks, the service (Rihanon) just added to the perfection of the food. We shall be back very soon to try the rest of the menu!

We dined at the establishment on Sunday afternoon, and three of us (and a dog) had a fantastic time! Staff members treated us with friendly hospitality, and the dishes served were not only appealing but amazingly delicious! I was visiting there and cannot wait to return there to try other dishes! We spent luxurious afternoon without thinking about the time.

Excellent service and absolutely delicious food! I’m tend to be difficult with food but everything was spot on

Food was great, but nothing beats the impressive and outstanding service from every staff in the restaurant! We’ve been to some Michelin star restaurants and international hotels, and we both agreed this is one of a few best service restaurants. We’ve are so pleased to have a great lunch here.

Adding truffle to some of the dishes on the menu is truly a delightful experience. We are genuinely grateful for the exceptional service we received and the incredible taste that made our meal so memorable. It’s wonderful to know that such care goes into creating these culinary delights.

My partner and I had lunch here today for my birthday. It was absolutely lovely! The food was gorgeous, customer service was amazing and the view from where we were sitting was stunning. I got a lovely birthday card from the staff and an unexpected birthday dessert which was rather yummy! 10/10 from us. You have to try the scotch egg and the calves liver 👌🏽xx

We were very lucky to have our office Christmas dinner at the Loch & Tyne and every part of the experience was exceptional. They were very helpful throughout the planning stage. Justine was really patient and accommodated our changing plans. The space we had was perfect and Grace did an incredible job looking after us on the night. The food was up to the really high standard that I have been lucky to enjoy on a number of occasions. Just a perfect evening that everyone enjoyed. Many thanks to everyone for a great night.

We booked in our family of 6 to stay the night to celebrate one of the family receiving an MBE at the Castle. Put simply the team were outstanding throughout, they made us feel at home and a genuinely special experience. The room was large, clean, comfortable and stylish. The breakfast; especially the haggis, was outstanding. The dinner after in the private room was perfect for the children and we couldn't be more grateful for how patient, attentive and kind the staff were. They made the day stress free so we could truly enjoy it. Any occasion in the area we would highly recommend using the Loch and Tyne.

We went on a Tuesday evening has a family of 4. The atmosphere was lovely chilled pub and nicely busy. Service was wonderful and the food was delicious. We all had 3courses, every part of the meal was lovely. The children aged 4 and 10 years old enjoyed all the food, so please to see smiles from them that the food was very good. Thank you so much for a lovely evening we all enjoyed has a family. We also enjoyed a lovely bottle of the house wine with the meal (which I’m hoping I can buy from some where) was just perfect with the duck main. Really delightful evening, thank you to all your team.

Food was good, tasty. I like the steak. Reached there early with no crowd which was great. Of you’re a tourist or new to the area…just uber over from Windsor castle area. Service staff overall was good. There’s 3 waitresses near our area - one of the crew was attentive and respond quick. While there isn’t any chilli sauce, she returned with her own edition of spicy sauce. She’s a smart one! Appreciate the effort. Wld be a 5 star if I didn’t try getting the attention and had to walk up to them to request for my dessert to be served next… Service recovery was good.

The food here is exceptional. Michelin star quality most definitely. The crispy chicken scratchings on the butter was genius ! Duck main was so original and full of flavour. Fish and chips easily the best I've ever had. Unfortunately the service was lacking Michelin star quality.. I ordered a beer after my starter which never arrived. Ordered another after my main which never arrived. Sorry guys but I can't tip when this happens

Nearly perfect. Excellent food. The restaurant has an excellent atmosphere and the servers are top notch. The only let down for me, (which would be an easy win to rectify) was the post meal coffee’s were not great and the espressos should really be served in the correctly sized cups at a restaurant of this calibre. Otherwise I would recommend this place to anyone.

What a lovely restaurant, such a great atmosphere. We went on a Saturday lunchtime and it was really busy even at 12.30pm. The food was delicious although the ravioli was warm rather than hot but it was delicious. Prices are fairly high, especially on the starters side. However it was a lovely meal, great atmosphere and we will be back.

Stopped in for a quick bite before heading to Heathrow, and I’m glad I did. The setting is warm and cozy, with that relaxed countryside charm that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. I started with the tuna, which was fresh and perfectly balanced in flavor. The sirloin steak that followed was spot-on—great seasoning and cooked exactly right. Finished with the sticky toffee pudding, and it was the kind of dessert that makes you pause and appreciate life for a moment. All in all, a delightful meal. Highly recommended, whether you’re lingering for the afternoon or just passing through like I was.

Been multiple times, great setting and almost always excellent food. Will certainly be back but latest visit a couple of small gripes. Service this time was smile free, also when I was served my main was asked if i wanted sauce and said yes. Waitress then just started serving another table and it never came, meanwhile im sat there waiting for it as my meal cools, eventually asked another waitress and it came quickly. Second gripe is they added a £2 optional donation to a charity to the bill. If you dont want to pay it you have to ask for it to be taken off. Sure its peanuts but on principle we really dislike this, just odd and awkward and relies on that awkwardness for the donation, ill choose which charities ill donate to thanks.

First visit here yesterday and I’m excited for the next. Firstly, the service is world class. The knowledge of the menu the staff have and the manner in which the specials rolled off their tongue was impressive. Coupled with their attentiveness and warmth makes this aspect of the restaurant remarkable. Then the food. A menu can be well thought out which this certainly is but for the chefs to execute it is something else. My only observation is that my vegetarian main and the sourdough snack could have been a little more generous. Overall it’s a must visit and certainly worth its place on the Michelin guides recommended list. Wonderful find. Special thanks to Grace and Matilda (hope I have the correct names) who were great and the gentleman (whose name I didn’t manage to get) who took greeted us and waited on us. All were excellent.

A pleasant experience for Sunday lunch. We arrived at 17:30 thinking it would be too late for Sunday lunch, however, luckily they were still serving the menu. Reasonable amount of parking at the back, however, being next to another pub meant lots of people parked on the road in this secluded location, making it tricky to find a space and for fellow road users to get through. It was a very hot day and looked busy, and staff were rushing around and appeared to need more numbers. Our greeting was poorly managed, with no staff acknowledging us and were left in no mans land waiting. We decided to ask at the bar, but was again told to wait. After 10 mins we were finally greeted, only to be told we didn't have a booking. 5 mins later and they "found" it. Not off to a great start. We chose a table outside on the veranda, which was covered, with a view of the front. Nice and peaceful and importantly shielded from the sun. The menu was short and sweet, which we preferred, and included veggie options. At £50pp for 2 or £60pp for 3 courses, it's not cheap. We ordered the soughdough bread to start, which was stupidly expensive, however it came with chicken skin butter and the most insanely good, rich and flavorful gravy. Totally indulgent but worth it For main, we had the chicken and beef. Well cooked and seasoned, with potatoes, cauliflower cheese, a single Yorkshire pudding, and greens. Supported by some glorious gravy again. The potatoes were triple cooked with a crunchy exterior but fluffy inside. Everything tasted great. I would say the portions were on the small side, but just enough for us. If you have a big appetite, you'll likely leave hungry. For dessert we got the trifle and sticky pudding. Both were great. The pudding was cooked in a small cast iron dish which made the edges crispy, giving a lovely blend of textures. Served with ice cream, it was a wonderful combination. On this occasion, it was a 4 star visit based on the poor welcome and length of time it took to get served. It took over 2.5hrs from start to finish for a 2 course meal, which didn't feel right. The staff looked rushed off their feet, and some were rather surly. £135 for 2 people, with no alcohol, is quite expensive for what it is. Granted, it was very tasty, however felt over priced. I'd probably recommend, and return, hoping for a better experience.

Always a pleasure to eat here. Plenty of options whether you’re in the mood for a pub classic or an all out tasting menu. Delivers on flavour consistently. Nice set up, not too cramped, room for the dog and lovely little touches like dried flowers and cards when celebrating an occasion. Cracking cocktail menu - the peanut butter old fashioned is so good. A great find that we will keep coming back to! While service is usually exceptional, our last visit was lacking a little, but won’t prevent us from returning.

We came for a special celebration and kindly received a lovely letter on our table from the restaurant! We were served by a young blonde waitress who was phenomenal. She knew every dish and kindly gave us detailed information and recommendations about each one. We have been before and the food for roasts was amazing. Absolutely love that they had an elaborate vegan menu! The spicy cauliflower was very hot. Wasn’t burnt which could be easily done. As one of their ‘larger’ dishes, it wasn’t that large. Probably should have been listed as a ‘smaller’ dish, as it was just cauliflower and a small sauce underneath. The vegan Chocolate and Berries pudding was lovely and nice to have as a Vegan dessert. A small criticism; the raspberry sorbet on top was overpowered by the chocolate mouse and as such you couldn’t taste it. The crab yellow Thai curry was delicious but very very small! Not even a side size. The chicken roast and lamb were much better sized and lovely. The vegan Bread with olive tapas and butter chive spread was incredible!

My wife and I went for lunch on our 27th wedding anniversary. BBQ mackerel starter a bit too fussy, tune starter very delicious. Lamb and duck mains were both excellent and worth the visit. Staff very attentive. House blanc de blanc champagne was excellent. Will go again.

I went here for dinner at the weekend. Looking at the reviews you could be confused that this place was knocking it out of the park, but not so. The restaurant had a nice ambience, was bustling and everyone appeared to look like they were on it. I don't know if it was our waiting staff or they had a long difficult shift and possibly switched off but I thought the service was just...ok and they all looked pretty disinterested. We were subjected to smoke from a lonely fire pit outside for the whole of the meal, this took a while to get used to, and it seemed to irk a lot of customers closer to the door. Overall the menu was a rollercoaster, we ate some excellent and ok food. The cheesy donuts were pretty good, the soufflé too complex, the chopped beef tartare was a good effort, however the venison was excellent I admit along with the hispie cabbage (5 stars). I ordered a glass of Nebbiolo, for which I waited until I was told it had gone off and they had run out (which one was it), did I want something else, yes please even though I was still charged for the Nebbiolo in the bill(you can have that one). The deserts were ok even though I couldn't quite work out with the help of the waiting staff what a soft scoop tiramisu was (Of course it was ice cream). We finished up with full bellies, got handed some coats that were not ours, but for the price and the disinterested service I guess I had hopes for a little better.

Wonderful food! Lovely staff and good service. Only thing is when busy - could be very loud. But food and staff make it worth it. Little bit pricey for every week but good for a special treat. Good car service too Dress code: mix of casual and formal - semi-formal

I have booked a table for a birthday dinner. We were warmly greeted by the host and showed to the table, where a birthday card was waiting, this was a nice touch. Unfortunately from there it went worse. We were given only the wine list (no other drink menu). As it was the birthday we went for non-alcoholic champagne (sounds interesting), but unfortunately it was just a sparkling juice… for £12 a glass (!!!) what an absolute ripoff. From the menu we have ordered: - cheese donuts - interesting flavours, would definitely order again - scotch egg - £16 for a tiny egg with not much meat on it… I thought it was a joke… As for mains we went for lamb and duck £32 each, and I must say, both were really tasty, tender, beautifully plated. With that we had a side of garlic mashed potatoes and charred hispi cabbage, both being very good. - dessert - miso caramel ice cream - again very interesting flavours, definitely something worth trying. Service unfortunately was very lacking for such a venue. Felt like people haven’t got much training/experience. We were constantly forgotten, waiting ages to place order, sides weren’t delivered with main course. Waiting for the bill and then option to pay it, took probably 15-20min. It definitely left much to desire. It’s a nice place and you can get a good food, with interesting flavours, but you have to be careful with your orders as £24 for 2 glasses of sparkling juice and £16 for a tiny and average tasting scotch egg, leaves really bad aftertaste…
