Is Grenfell Arms Still Open? The Hotel Inspector Update (Maidenhead, UK)

The Grenfell Arms is a pub with eight bedrooms and a restaurant in Maidenhead, Berkshire. It featured in Series 16, episode 3 of The Hotel Inspector (Channel 5), which aired on 2021-06-24 under the title "Grenfell Arms, Maidenhead". According to TheTVDB's episode page, owner Jamie could not find staff and was doing every job himself, with help from his mother, Sandy. Wikipedia's list of Hotel Inspector episodes describes Jamie as 31 and gives the same title and air date.

What has happened since: An Australian-region Trip.com page for Grenfell Arms, read on 2026-10-19, lists the property at 22 Oldfield Road, Maidenhead, as a three-star hotel with eight rooms. It shows guest reviews including those dated 2024-12-27, 2025-07-26, 2025-08-31, 2025-09-06, 2025-10-12, 2025-11-09, 2026-02-07 and 2026-08-02. Squaremeal's page for The Grenfell Arms, which carries a 2026 copyright notice and a photo file name suggesting August 2021, gives the address as 22 Oldfield Road, Maidenhead SL6 1TW, lists weekly opening hours (11:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Monday to Wednesday, 11:00 a.m. to midnight Thursday to Saturday, and noon to 10:30 p.m. Sunday), and places it behind the Lord Grenfell.

The Campaign for Real Ale's Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead branch page and its Central Southern region page both list a pub called Lord Grenfell at the same address, with opening hours of 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily; neither mentions the name Grenfell Arms. The sources read do not settle how the two names relate or whether Jamie still owns the business.
