About

The Duke of Edinburgh is a historic, family‑run pub situated in the charming hamlet of Woodside, just half a mile from Ascot Racecourse. Over 200 years old, the pub boasts low‑beam timbered interiors that create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while the spacious beer garden offers a relaxed outdoor setting for guests. Renowned for its wide selection of real ales from Arkell’s of Swindon and a menu of hearty British classics, the Duke also delights diners with daily chef’s specials and generous portions of roasted meats and seasonal dishes. The pub proudly offers free high‑speed Wi‑Fi, a smoking shelter and a dedicated dog‑friendly garden, ensuring a comfortable experience for both locals and tourists. With excellent service and frequent awards—including the CAMRA 21‑Year Service Award and several TripAdvisor Certificates of Excellence— the Duke is a local landmark and a favourite for both casual pint seekers and those looking to enjoy a traditional English pub night out. Whether you’re after a relaxed brunch, a sumptuous dinner, or a lively social evening with real ale on tap, the Duke of Edinburgh invites you to experience its historic charm and culinary delights. A half‑hour walk on the Windsor Road brings you to the pub’s welcoming façade, and from there you can easily reach the nearby parks, the Royal Ascot racing track during the summer, or the scenic views of the surrounding Berkshire countryside.
