Christmas Day lunch near Windsor costs £100 at Coppa Club Maidenhead and up to £185 at the Royal Berkshire: 8 venues with 2026 prices, child rates, deadlines.

For Christmas Day around Windsor, most people start with the Sir Christopher Wren by Windsor Bridge (£159 for five courses) or the Greene Oak at Oakley Green (£110), with Coppa Club in Maidenhead the lowest published price at £100. Every entry was checked against the venue’s own site on 1 November 2026.

We have not eaten at any of these for this guide, and nothing here is a review. Each entry gives the 2026 Christmas Day price from the venue’s own Christmas page or menu, what it includes, the child price and booking terms where they are published, and the Food Standards Agency hygiene rating. Christmas Day 2026 falls on a Friday. One deadline is close: the Greene Oak wants Christmas Day pre-orders by 2 November.

Before you book

Most of these want money up front: the Olde Bell and the Royal Berkshire take full payment at booking, and the Sir Christopher Wren takes a non-refundable deposit. Several want a pre-order of every dish. If you are going out on the day, check Christmas trains and travel, and for the rest of the season see Windsor Christmas markets, Christmas at Windsor Castle, what’s on in Windsor this month and things to do in Windsor. More local restaurants and pubs are in the Windsor business directory.

How we chose

We picked venues across the borough that publish a 2026 Christmas Day price on their own website, from Windsor and Oakley Green to Maidenhead, Bray, Cookham, Hurley and Ascot. Every price, menu detail and booking rule comes from the venue’s own Christmas page or menu, checked on 1 November 2026, and every hygiene rating comes from the Food Standards Agency register. Venues that publish no Christmas Day price (including several well-known Windsor hotels) are left out rather than guessed at. Prices and availability change, so confirm with the venue when you book. Run a place that should be here, or spot something that has changed? Email newsdesk@windsortoday.co.uk. Taken a good photograph of any of these places? Email it to newsdesk@windsortoday.co.uk and we will add it with your name as the credit.
