Eton College Natural History Museum

The Museum was opened in 1875 and has 16,000 objects. It is Berkshire's only dedicated Natural History Museum. We have large collections of stuffed birds, mammals, fossils, and butterflies and moths. The Museum celebrates the life of Sir Joseph Banks: peer into his cabin on board HMB Endeavour and explore the museum to find exquisite prints of the plants he discovered on his epic voyage.

I cross the Thames over into Eaton on Saturday evening it was a lovey break from the hustle and bustle of Windsor .... very quaint street with beautiful hanging baskets outside the shops. Lovely bars and restaurants ..... I found this place enchanting.

Tastes Delicatessen

Tastes is a delightful and welcoming delicatessen at the Windsor end of Eton High Street, specialising in fine foods and offering an extensive range of delicious items produced both locally and by artisans around the world. The shop is an Aladdin's cave of delights, many of which you're unlikely to find elsewhere. The walls are crammed with an eclectic mix of every day staples and wonderfully unique products, including hard-to-find and unusual ingredients. The deli counter contains numerous artisan cheeses, cooked meats, pies, pastries, pâté, olives, and much more. Tastes also stocks frozen food, offers fresh bread daily, and locally grown fruit and vegetables in season.

Tastes Delicatessen is a treasure trove of artisan local and national products. I frequently visit this store to buy speciality cheeses, ham and their to-die-for Scotch Eggs. Fresh berries are my favourite; they are super juicy, sweet and bursting with summer sunshine fllavours. Giovanni Canali, the Italian owner of Tastes, is soft spoken, obliging and very helpful. He also has a range of superb ready meals in the back room which visitors often overlook. If you ever visit this fine food store, do make it a point to step down to the adjacent back room and you will be surprised at the delightful range of goodies he has there! I am a big fan of the unusually flavoured oat biscuits the shop has. Flavours such as rosemary & sea salt, sweet chilli you will not find in your local supermarkets.
