From The Good Pub Guide 1983: |
Close to the Castle and the Theatre
Royal, this lively pub is popular with the actors there - if you're in doubt
as to exactly who some of the familiar faces are, you can use as a crib the
signed photographs that cover one green and gold flock-wallpapered wall. The
partly panelled narrow bars are carpeted, with button-back wall banquettes
and upholstered stools around the wood-effect tables. Snacks (50p to £1.20)
include sandwiches, ploughman's, smoked mackerel, pizza and filled jacket
potatoes; there's also steak and kidney pie (£1.60), ham and egg (£1.60),
chicken or scampi (£.20) and various salads (up to £2.40; well-kept Bass and
Charrington IPA on handpump; fruit machine, juke box. There are sometimes
barbecues in the small back yard, where some seats are protected by a
fairy-lit Perspex shelter. Obviously, expect to find plenty of other
tourists here. |

I was a bar tender (Kiwi doing OE). Loved it. Fabulous
clientele. Publican (Vanessa) was wonderful... she was friendly and
supportive |

I was on holidays from Canada and delighted in this pub.
The back room with the large cage, which was almost a room itself,
filled with budgies. It is a sad loss. |

I was brought up here as a boy during and
after WW2, my mother was born here 1911 when my grandmother Gertrude
Groves was publican. They and I had many stories of clientel from the
Theatre Royal next door - esp during the war when the West End theatres
decamped to Windsor during the blitz. The rear of the building was very
old - dating back to at least Tudor Times and excavations were carried
out when rebuilt as Thai Square. |
