A gathering place for Maidenhead since the 1830s
The Hand & Flowers has welcomed guests through its doors for nearly two centuries. What began as a traditional English public house has evolved into something altogether more refined - a place where the warmth of heritage meets an expertly curated selection of wines, handcrafted cocktails, premium draught beers and live entertainment.
The original Victorian character remains - the carved bar, the stained glass, the worn timber floors - but the experience today is one of considered hospitality and genuine quality. This is Maidenhead's destination for an evening done properly.

Rich History
A building with
a story to tell
The Hand & Flowers has stood on Queen Street, Maidenhead for nearly two centuries. Listed among the town's oldest continuously licensed premises, the building carries the quiet dignity of a place that has seen generations pass through its doors.
The original Victorian interior remains largely intact - from the ornate carved bar back to the original stained glass panels that cast their warm light across the room each evening. These are not reproductions. They are the real thing, preserved because they deserve to be.
Today, The Hand & Flowers continues that tradition, combining nearly two centuries of history with the warmth and character of a proper town-centre pub. A place to enjoy good drinks, live music and great company, right in the heart of Maidenhead.
