The Bear - Maidenhead





Visited 25th February 2010.


Mr and Mrs Sinner were lucky enough to get two tickets for the pre-opening training session at the The Bear which officially opens tomorrow. What can I say? We had a great time (free food and beer - what's not to like). I had several long chats with various people about what renovations had been done on this listed building and how much had been spent. What was still to be done and learnt that The Bear was the 750th Wetherspoon to be opened. It looked good inside and the new staff did a very good job cooking and serving the food. Special thanks to Kelly (Kellie?) the barmaid with her great cheery smile. We'll be going back to this one to see if they manage to keep up the very high standard they set themselves.

The Greyhound - Maidenhead




Visited 16th April 2009.


I may have been a little distracted while the first photo was being taken.

Quiet on this visit but often gets very busy later on in the evenings. This was the first Lloyds no. 1 bar where I have had a steak. After being asked how I would like it (rare) it arrived very well done. This is not a criticism of The Greyhound (well maybe a little) but of Wetherspoon in general. I have yet to have a decent steak in any of the ones I have visited. The curry's not bad though!
