Drury House

Drury House is one of Windsor’s oldest eateries, It was built in the reign of King Charles I, in 1645 to house the staff from Windsor Castle. Later on it became part of the abode of Nell Gwyn, Charles II’s favourite Mistress; to accommodate their secret liaisons, a tunnel was built between the Drury House and the Castle, enabling Nell Gwyn to have a secret rendezvous with the King at a moment’s notice. The tunnel is still in existence to this day, though for security reasons have been partially blocked off. Drury House is a unique restaurant and tea room, steeped in history, right in the heart of Windsor, serving traditional English food such as FISH & CHIPS and PIES with local Ales and Beers. Visitors to Drury House will be fascinated to find a wealth of original 17th century features, including mouldings, fireplace and wood panelling offering a unique atmosphere.
