“Hey Presto! From the moment we arrived, the service at this place was exceptional. Despite being a large party of 15, they accommodated us at very short notice—something many places wouldn’t even attempt on a busy weekend day. The manager/owner personally welcomed us, which set the tone for the rest of our visit. He went out of his way to explain that the chicken and lamb are halal, which was not only thoughtful but allowed several of us to explore more of the menu confidently. On his recommendation, we ordered the chicken focaccia, which turned out to be a standout—tender, flavourful, and perfectly balanced. Highly recommended. The pizzas were genuinely authentic Neapolitan style—light, airy crust with just the right char, and high-quality ingredients you can taste in every bite. The food came out quickly, and despite the group size, the waitresses were welcoming, attentive, and incredibly efficient, ensuring everyone was looked after without missing a beat. To finish, we had coffee—and I can honestly say, it was the best I’ve had in Maidenhead. Rich, smooth, and perfectly pulled. We followed that with fresh cannoli, which were the ideal sweet finish. There’s a certain charm to the atmosphere here. With the smell of fresh dough, barista-quality coffee, and the staff’s warmth, if the people around were dressed just a bit more elegantly, you might just mistake yourself for an eaterie in Naples or Rome. This was my first visit to Presto, but absolutely won’t be the last. It’s rare to find a place that delivers great food, personal service, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere all in one.”

“Beautiful cafe, food and owners. I was driving back to North Wales after visiting friends in Camberley and Deepcut. My brakes suddenly failed. Thankfully I managed to pull into a housing estate and parked. I had no idea where or if there was a garage I asked several people but most ignored me. I could not get a signal on my phone. I was soaking wet from walking around trying to get signal. I was also very cold and very tired. There were no hotels and it was getting dark. I found this lovely cafe further up the road. It was closing time but the very kind owners told me to go in and get warm and dry, they also made great coffee and cooked food for me. Their kindness was overwhelming after the scary and horrible experience I had when the car suddenly went out of control and the brakes failed due to an ABS problem. A teenage girl told me where to get help and gave me directions. Very grateful to her too”

“Easily the best food I've ordered for delivery! This Italian is gorgeous and goes the extra mile with packaging the food up, chilli oil for the pizza and popcorn to snack on! The truffle pizza was full of flavour but the arancini was easily the best. Really recommend this place:) definitely going to reorder”

“My husband and me went to celebrate his birthday. Food was lovely and good portions. I really like the character of the place. All waitresses were friendly. I have asked them to write on my husband dessert "Happy birthday " and they did it with an extra unexpected birthday singing. They were lovely! We absolutely satisfied with everything. Thank you very much!”

“This meal was a gift from my husband. We booked an early table on a Sunday evening so the restuarant was fairly quiet. It's a lovely setting, right on the river and is nicely decorated. The service was very good and our food was delicious. My arranchini starter was one of the best I've had. We have already decided to return and try the tasting menu next time.”

“amazing food! fast service and YUMMY green curry. chicken was also halal. highly recommend the set menu for lunch!!!”

“This is not a pub we visit often but found ourselves here on the off chance. The ladies behind the bar were really great, they found us a seat, cleaned table and recommended food. Gammon was delicious, best pub food my partner has had in a long time. Fish and chips was perfectly cooked and very tasty. Highly recommend giving this great pub a try. We will return!”

“Very kind and efficient staff. Chips fluffy and still crisp, £6 for large chips and curry sauce which was lovely by the way!! We will defo be back again in the future!!”

“Having heard that the Indian Kitchen now allows customers to bring their own alcohol into the restaurant I thought I’d visit last night (Sunday) and found they had a buffet night where you choose anything off the menu for a set price. It was excellent! Probably the best keema nan ever! The head chef even came out to ask how the food was! Definitely will be back!”

“I took a ring in today to sell. The staff were extremely helpful in explaining the options. Although I did not go ahead with the sale the staff were still friendly and helpful. If I have anything to sell in the future I will go back.”

The college is very accessible, has a pleasant atmosphere with helpful staff, and provided a seamless and stress-free experience throughout. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to take their exams in-person.”

“I was feeling lost in the NHS. No answers to my problem and a general feeling of helplessness. Walked in to the Harrison clinic and immediately felt I was in the care of professionals. Having felt very depressed with my injury, I left feeling considerably more comfortable but more than that, confident I was in good hands, that in time would get me fully fit again.”

“We had a wonderful experience with the letting team in Woodley. Special thanks to Sophia, she was professional, friendly and very helpful. Even when another house we offered on was no longer available, she was straight on it finding us somewhere else the next day. Answered all of our questions promptly with a kind attitude and even called us to see how everything was going once we moved in. People like this make the stressful process of moving 100x better and easier. Thank you Sophia”

“Even if you’re not a rower, this is a remarkable find – wonderful location, gorgeous old club, very spacious, comfortable, and bright room. And if you are a rower, the memorabilia is amazing and a drink on the deck watching the crews go by is a blast. It’s like being invited to stay at the Vatican for an evening.”

“Ashworth at Cove have always been amazing with our pets. Our Rottweilers, Roxy and Ellie loved visiting, our cats obviously not so much!! The staff there are all so kind and helpful and it’s always lovely to receive their condolences card when one of them goes off over the rainbow.”

“Having been a funeral director for many years I value the service and quality that Green Ferns provides. It's essential that all funeral flowers are delivered punctually and are of the best possible quality and Green Ferns never lets us down. Their staff are helpful and will go above and beyond to ensure all our very, very important families are satisfied with the flowers they have chosen to respect those they have loved and lost. I use Green Ferns personally too as I know they will be beautifully presented and of a much better quality than any shop bought flowers or any other local florists. Thank you Green Ferns and long may you continue to flourish as a successful, independent company.”
