Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This place gets better and better.

Aug 2021 • none

Great staff, friendly patrons and a well-kept cellar. Recently voted (again) as the best real ale pub in Maidenhead by CAMRA. Thursday's is pub quiz night, and last night the bar took over £1000 for the first time in ages. Always looking to make the experience better, they have fresh pizza (from Kingsmead Pizza Co.) alongside the live music every Friday. Live sports as and when. Small, but perfectly formed, a great place for a quiet drink or a great get-together.

Good beer, excellent Covid arrangements, friendly and v helpful staff

Oct 2020 • none

Had an excellent couple of hours with some friends for an outdoor convivial chat and drink. As ever the beer was excellently kept, and served well. The improvements to the outdoor areas allows patrons to feel secure and comfortable, and provides a wide range of very pleasant seating arrangements. Staff were excellent in managing the Covid arrangements and the pub has thought long and hard about how to provide for its customers. Well done all

What a gem of a pub

Jan 2020 • none

Yes, the pub is small, but the atmosphere is great, they look after their ales, and they stock a lot of local beers. There is a small beer garden at the rear, and plenty of events every week. It is a community-owned pub that is in the CAMRA's Good Beer Guide.

Manager is not qualified to deal with people

Aug 2024 • friends

Good place, shame that all shareholders let a guy who has zero interest and experience in dealing with customers, who bullies the staff, really embarrassing! I would not recommend this place, especially if you have to deal with so called manager of the pub. Had a great night, but he interacted and told staff off for making a drink I asked for, when I interacted he became extremely rude, lesson for management- people come there to spend money not to be told off.

Still supporting the community

Apr 2020 • none

They are open for off-sales; visit the website, see what beers are available, then pop round on your 'fresh air break' from being stuck indoors. Either take your own containers or they will provide some. £3 a pint. Perfect.

Cheeky couple of pints and fantastic live music

Jun 2022 • none

Came in on the way back from a walk and anniversary meal. As always, the welcome was warm and friendly, and the beer was well looked after. Saturdays is live mic night at the Craufurd, and the hosts gave us a couple of great songs before handing over to some local musicians. A lovely way to spend a few hours. The England v Italy game was being shown outside and there were plenty of people enjoying that too.

Friendly, happy, tiny pub.

Feb 2020 • friends

Friendly, happy, tiny pub. Stopped at the Craufurd Arms yesterday for a few pints. The place which is like someone’s big front room was packed and there was an excellent band playing. Clearly a pub loved by its locals. Really enjoyed my IPA and the warm and friendly atmosphere. There is a small beer garden and and they serve a small menu.

Pub of the year

Jun 2019 • couples

The Craufurd Arms is a community run pub. It isalso the local CAMRA pub of the year 2019. The pub serves 4 real ales, all are very well kept. We had Marlow Brewery Near Miss, which was excellent, also West Berkshire Good Old Boy. Several sports screens, but don't dominate. The beer is the big pulling point here.

Local Pub for Local People

Very friendly and low key pub - community owned and run. Different events most evenings - cribbage, darts, pub quiz. Great place to watch football / rugby etc.

Major dog problem

Sept 2018 • friends

I have been a regular customer at The Craufurd Arms for many years, in fact since 1980s Just recently I have noticed a change in policy towards dogs both in the bar and eating areas .During two recent visits I have noticed that dogs are being fed from customer plates as they eat their meal. They are also allowed to run around the restaurant totally out of control jumping up on other customers as they eat! Surely this is unhygienic and very wrong. I would not eat food there again until this problem is resolved.So selfish of people to impose their dogs on others in such a small environment.

Hi - the Craufurd Arms remains a dog-friendly pub but we encourage all owners to manage their pets responsibly. We now provide dog bowls and treats so there should be no instances where a dog eats off a customer plate. We've made lots of improvements to the pub in the last five years and I would hope if you came again your experience would be more enjoyable.

Small, but perfectly formed.

We visited with our daughter and her partner. They really like this lovely little pub and we can see why. Lovely weather always helps and we enjoyed drinks in the courtyard garden. Looking forward to our next visit.

Midweek drink

Mar 2018 • friends

I popped in to the Craufurd Arms for a quick couple of drinks. What a great place just like a pub should be full of friends enjoying themselves. The Craufurd Arms is a traditional pub with friendly staff and a good atmosphere. A good selection of drink at reasonable prices. Clean and tidy to. I will be returning for one or two more
