About us

We are a group of French expats who have made England our home, and have grown to love and treasure that great British institution – the pub.

With a background in Michelin starred restaurants (both here and abroad) as well as over a decade in the management of pubs and restaurants in London and the home counties, we had a collective vision. We wanted to create a traditional English pub that is at the heart of the local community; a warm and inviting place that serves great ales, wine and food and with strong local sporting and community links.

To make it even more marvellous we’ve added a French restaurant serving rustic regional French cuisine. A true entente cordial.

The Carpenters is a country pub and restaurant in the heart of the village of Sunninghill.

It is only a stone's throw from Windsor Great Park and is the perfect venue after a day's walk in the Berkshire countryside.

We have a large terraced garden to enjoy in the summer with a bottle of Provencal rosé while in winter we light the fires and serve comforting French casseroles and crumbles. We are open for lunch and dinner every day and we serve a traditional roast for lunch on Sundays. We have an extensive wine list with carefully chosen wines and we are extremely proud of our well-earned reputation for excellent beer.

French pub. A hidden gem that I always wish if there is one in my area. Delicious dishes and wide selections. Warm foie gras was great! Will come back again!

Been here a couple of times in the past, this time is for my Birthday and Wedding Anniversary. Wow, just amazing, still here and about to order dessert. I have been lucky to have been to many lovely restaurants around the world, but this place is just awesome . Sunday lunch is an absolute must!!

Amazing food, service and atmosphere… the food choices are superb and often times hard to find elsewhere. The staff is amazing friendly and know their menu, perfect for a date night family night or just some friends. Highly recommend. Now to be clear I ordered some more expensive items but I was very impressed about the presentation and the quality was more than enough for two…

This is place is good and has the ability to be really great. Overall a good experience . Getting there is not for the faint of heart. Narrow and somewhat busy roads lead you to a very nice looking pub with an amazing 5 star French theme (decor). If you can, walk or take an Uber. The front of house met us with a great sense of hospitality and sent us to our reserved table through the bar. Seats were comfy and spacious. The Menu offering, which is a mainly French bistro style, does not disappoint and the lunch menu is a great deal. Maybe too many menu items which forces Chef to have a lot of pre-made prep. We had 6 people ordering a good variety of food. The hits were the tartiflette, Brie salad and the escargot. Wine list looked great but it was lunch so we mainly had water. There were some disappointments around the half chicken and the duck confit. The gravlax was hit and miss, not my taste but some loved it. Ultimately the things made fresh were 👍 the dishes who had some pre-prep not so great. I think this place is good and if you are missing France, come by and have a drink and a starter. The staff and ambience make the place.
