Situated in a pretty village close to Datchet train station (handy for Windsor) and an easy drive from Heathrow’s Terminal 5, the Manor Hotel is naturally a popular choice with tourists and the
business crowd. On-the-ball staff are always ready with swift service, cocktails and wines by the glass for the hordes of drinkers who frequent the place, while the all-day brasserie menu is full
of good things, from carpaccio of beef or potted crab with tomato compote to herb-crusted rack of lamb with mint jus, pork fillet with cracked black pepper, mushroom and cream sauce or monkfish
with a vegetable and bean broth spiked with dill. There’s also a useful crop of grills, burgers and pasta if a speedy, one-dish fill-up is required.
