Great pub food, friendly service
We’ve been coming to the Windsor castle regularly for over a year now. Not once have I been disappointed with the food or the quality of service.
The staff is always very friendly and attentive, the meals are well portioned and always on point, especially their steaks. I can highly recommend coming on Tuesdays as you’ll get two mains for $30 which is great value.
The atmosphere is very laid back and homely, so we always love coming back!
Went for a pub quiz night
Always seems to have good vibes
The pizza was real average but had good wedges
Wouldnt necessarily come here to dine but for some good buzz with friends its a good place
Been here twice now, the first time. E was through a voucher in the entertainment book a friend had. We had the diy fajitas which was great. The second time I went out with workmates and the best thing on the bar food menu is the cauliflower bites. I was totally skeptical at first but man oh man you will NOT regret getting that item.
They have awesome live music and I love the fact that they keep it classy and not like a dive bar which would suck.
Drinks: I got the Falling Water on the 42 below menu and it was great
I've been here quite a few times now with different people and this hidden gem is tucked away in the heart of Parnell, ensconced in a charming colonial building on the main street.
On the Fridays that I've visited they've had a great live band playing. My recommendation for bar food or if you're dining in, is their cheesy cauliflower bites... It was out of this world. The portion size is average as far as bar food goes, but it is well worth it.
The nachos were... Well nachos, and so it met my expectations which weren't very high to begin with, but they used to offer DIY fajitas which were good and I didn't see that on the menu the second time.
To drink, my fave was the falling water one from the 42 below menu.
The food is good but the drinks and service is brilliant. Would go back any time simply because I like how we were treated.
Awesome place, awesome service. The blonde british female manager treats the regulars very well! Love coming here for a few beers after work on Friday and on Tuesday for their 2 mains for $30 deal.
The working lunch special ($20 for main and a house drink) is great to drop in and grab something easy and delicious. The staff are super chatty and friendly and always make us feel welcome.
Also a great place for some after work drinks - the cabanas out back are the best no matter the season (those heaters are perfect).
The Windsor Castle has been the heart and soul of Parnell for 169 years. Established in 1847, the Windsor is one of the oldest establishments in the country, and has undergone extensive renovations to restore it to its former glory. Today, the local has been well and truly resurrected. And thanks to the forward thinking management I came here on a Grab One voucher and gorged on the Salt and Pepper squid and a cold one or two back in November 2010. Nice atmosphere and good food.
I just wanted to thank you all for a lovely night we had at the end of March. We were encouraged to try new things and I tried a lovely melon liqueur and my partner tried a drink called coralaho or something and we were most impressed with them. We are now going to look for these drinks when we go out and feel quite cosmopolitan in our new drinking habits. A great night and thank you very much.
Went there for work lunch with colleagues. The service was awesome. The food was good. I ordered chicken tenders. A great local to have work lunch or catch a game on screen.
Enjoyed a quiet dinner here, lovely atmosphere with great staff that are friendly and always willing to ensure your meal is as good as possible. The food was quick to get to our table and definitely hit the spot. Each dish was full of flavour and everything complemented each other wonderfully. The chicken was succulent (whenever I order chicken I always dread that it's going to be dry and stringy) but I was blown away with how soft and supple both chicken dishes were.
Such a wide variety of food that will satisfy everyone's taste buds :)
As tourists, this was a wonderful experience and one of the best pubs my wife and I found in Auckland. Great drinks and fantastic service - the staff were helpful, friendly and (gasp) cheerful! We felt warmly welcomed! A lovely, cozy place where guests are family. Didn't eat there so can't speak to the food thus only 4 stars.
Good selection of drinks and friendly staff. Atmosphere was a little flat at the time we visited and no noticeable x factor at the place hence the 4 stars. Cool private room downstairs for functions/dinners if you are looking for a venue.
Stopped in with my mates for a couple jugs. Speights was ice cold and staff were polite and fast. We stopped in on quiz night and it was a blast! We had a great time. Was kinda bummed out that literally 30 seconds after quiz night ended, everyone left. Still a cool spot though.
You'll definitely get more than 'just' pub grub!
Gourmet food, great atmosphere! Fantastic music and super friendly staff.
Grate pub great vibe great food grate survive grate drinks. Get down there now and blow the moths out of your wallet for a grate pub experience.
Pretty good bar, a popular hangout for work mates on a Friday. Decent pub food too
Great place for been and food, the food is good, especially considering it’s a pub, the outside area is fun too
