Situated in The Castle Hotel, Leaf is right in the heart of historic Windsor offering casual dining which combines classic British and modern European flavours. Steeped in history and with regal connections, Leaf is the perfect spot for brunch, a leisurely lunch, a delicious afternoon tea and a decadent dinner.

Executive Head Chef Suraj Lokhande works closely with independent suppliers to bring the best flavours to the dishes. The menus include comforting classics, vegan options and British artisan cheeses paired with local beers from Windsor & Eton Brewery. The alfresco terrace is a city oasis which is ideal for dining in the warmer months and enjoying a tipple or two after a day’s sightseeing.

Offering one of the best afternoon teas in Windsor, the talented team have developed a stunning Royal afternoon tea featuring freshly baked scones with clotted cream, sumptuous sandwiches and an array of delicious patisserie, paired with traditional tea blends from Darvilles of Windsor.

Lovely afternoon tea for two. The service was excellent, the kitchen were happy to make a slight change to the sandwich selection and they brought out an additonal cake with a candle as I noted on the booking we were celebrating a birthday. Very friendly and attentive waiting staff. Would highly recommend a visit.

Leaf staff were very friendly. They put a balloon arrangement on our table that I requested at booking for my partners birthday. And made a special Happy Birthday dessert plate for him without being asked. The food was amazing, lovely evening altogether. Will definitely book again when we're back in Windsor. Thank you to all the staff 🥇
