1215 at Fairmont Windsor Park: Modern Italian Dining in Slough | Michelin Recommended

Il Giardino at 1215

At Fairmont Windsor Park, Il Giardino at 1215 brings a modern Italian spirit to the dining room. The name itself evokes the garden—the walled garden on the estate that supplies much of the kitchen’s produce. Here, the cooking is rooted in regional Italian traditions but filtered through a contemporary, British lens. The result is a menu of house-made pastas, vibrant crudi, and dishes that honour the whole ingredient, from nose to tail and root to flower.

One dish that has already become a signature is the salt-baked John Dory. It arrives at the table encased in a golden crust, a theatrical moment before the front-of-house team reveals the fish within. It is a dish that speaks to the kitchen’s confidence and precision.

The restaurant’s Michelin Recommended status reflects the care taken in every plate. The cuisine is modern British and modern Italian, but the approach is singular: elegant simplicity meets bold flavour. The atmosphere is intimate and confident, with the sophistication of the Fairmont property softened by the warmth of Italian hospitality.

Open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday, Il Giardino at 1215 offers a dining experience that feels both fresh and grounded. It is a place where the cooking does the talking, and the garden is never far from the plate.
