Cafe in Maidenhead

“I feel like I’ve come to the party late but now want to keep coming back…so I’ve been here x3 in as many weeks and already got a date in the diary to come back next week. Down a little lane that looks like you’re going nowhere then turn left and boom…the beautiful, unspoilt Taplow lake. Not only stunning views from the car park but also from every angle in the outdoor decked cafe. Coffees are wonderful and a really good size, cakes are delicious and the brunch is super. Fresh ingredients, well put together. The service on all three visits has been exceptional. Attentive, friendly staff who are knowledgeable about the menu. It has a great Scandinavian feel sitting on the deck, with nice food, looking over a lake surrounded by trees watching the wildlife and kayakers and paddle boarders. What’s not to like?!”

“I regularly take my daughter here because it is such a lovely experiance. We travel here for movies even though there are 2 cinemas in our town. Plenty of parking, all seats are recliners and there are no bad angles.”

“What a lovely location next to the River Thames. Warm friendly atmosphere and good food at sensible prices. All 3 courses we had were well presented delicious and good sized. Would definitely visit again.”

“The BEST hidden gem! The owners are absolutely wonderful – so passionate, welcoming, and friendly, they make you feel like part of the family as soon as you walk in. The food is just delicious, made with genuine Italian ingredients that taste completely different to anything you’ll find in other cafés. Every bite is full of authentic flavour and love. I always recommend this place to friends and tell all my baby massage clients to pop in after class. It is such a lovely spot to enjoy real Italian food and a relaxed atmosphere. A must visit!”

“A really fantastic venue on the outskirts of Maidenhead. I only had time to attend a gig in the studio which was converted for the evening into an intimate theatre. Very friendly staff and very well curated.”

“Absolutely wonderful find tucked away near Maidenhead but definitely worth a visit; if you are looking for a standard curry house, there are other good places; if you want a gastronomic experience not to be forgotten, visit this place. The ambiance lovely, the Michelin style presentation was stunning and each and every dish was delicious; coming from someone with Indian parents with very high food standards, we really loved visiting and look forward to going back with friends!”

“Came across these guys by chance and loved everything about this place SO much, that I cancelled our reservation we had elsewhere the following evening, and we brought our friends here instead!! The service and the food is incredible! If we’re back in Henley again anytime soon we 100% will come back here and will be HIGHLY recommending to anyone visiting, to experience this wonderful eatery!! Absolutely fantastic guys, thank you for giving my tastebuds the best authentic Italian meal they’ve ever had!! STUNNING!”

“I came here for a Sunday roast today and !!WOW!! The beef melted in my mouth and the service was great. The staff are very helpful and made me feel welcome. Thank you to the Cricketers”

“We recently visited with a group of residents from our local care home, based on the glowing recommendation of one of our residents who often comes here with her family, and what an excellent recommendation it was! From the moment we arrived, the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming or accommodating. They were attentive throughout our visit and kept us informed about when our meals would be served. The food was absolutely fantastic, fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Nothing was too much trouble, and the whole experience was seamless from start to finish. This will definitely become a regular lunch spot for us. Highly recommended!”

“Salma gave me excellent customer service at Nerro Café. She greeted me with a smile, took my order patiently, and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. The coffee she prepared was rich, smooth, and tasted fantastic. Salma checked if everything was okay with my order and made me feel welcome. Her friendly attitude and attention to detail really stood out. If you’re at Nerro Café, I highly recommend asking for Salma—you’ll get quality service and a delicious coffee every time”

“Came for Christmas dinner at the shire horse. Was greeted with a warm welcome from Mel, who seated us. We had booked the pre-ordered Christmas dinner. The food was brought out in a timely manor, and Amelia who looked after our table always checked in with us. Each dish was impeccable, especially impressed with the steak dinner as it was cooked perfectly to my liking. The atmosphere is warm, calm, and bubbly,a beautiful balance. Thank you to Mel, Stanley, Amelia and all the staff at the shire horse for making this Christmas special x”
