Crooked House Windsor

The Crooked House in England's royal and luscious Windsor is a beautiful and quaint tearoom brimming with charm.  Genuinely crooked like the famous leaning tower of Pisa, this is a really interesting and cute building, and well worth a visit once you've finished basking in the glory of the castle.


A beautiful building so close to the castle and surrounded by history, this place has a lot going for it before you even get to the tea.

Quaint and very snug, this is a place brimming with character with very sweet and attentive staff. Our waitress politely apologised for the lack of flowering tea and was very quick to serve. 


When our order did arrive we were delighted to see loose tea in a pot, but disappointed that it was metal. Some lovely chintz would have been just perfect. I hate metal teapots, they burn!


I had ordered Jasmine Tea, so the milk went to waste, which is always sad to see. I would have liked to have been offered extra hot water, but as this is a bustling venue with hardly any space in a prime tourist spot I can understand why I wasn't. 

The sandwich arrived just as ordered and the salad was lettuce tomato and cucumber (standard British interpretation) and luckily no dressing.

All in all a lovely experience, and reasonably priced for a tourist town.

  1. I have only found your site today. I am another tea enthusiast who blogs on tea for about a year now. Mine blog does not get reviews or notice but it is out there.

    I try, that is all.
