Reviews Windmill Inn

Had a fantastic time NYE at the windmill as we always do, the staff are always very pleasant and friendly and the land lord and land lady are lovely too. Always a cracking band on At the weekends and excellent beer and food too. What more could you want from any pub in the land. First Class

A great little boozer, live music and the best burger I've had in recent memory, go there.

Fantastic company and evening...........great entertainment too

Amazing value for money with Great future Potential! We stumbled upon this pub while searching for a place to eat on a rainy Sunday. Our usual method involves a quick online search, browsing through reviews. Although it didn't possess the quintessential countryside charm being in a town centre location, it turned out to be a great experience. The quantity and quality of the food surpassed our expectations and ranked among the best we've had in quite some time. While the menu may have been limited to Sunday roast options, the portion sizes offered great value for money, exceeding what we initially anticipated. The ambiance and atmosphere of the pub were a bit underwhelming, but given the exceptional kitchen, staff, and delectable food we enjoyed, adding some more décor and additional interior elements would truly elevate this place. All in all, we were thrilled to have discovered this gem and are already planning to return on a day when the menu offers a wider variety, perhaps during the week or on a Saturday. This place has a great future and we would love to see it succeed!

It's usually really good food and service. However we booked an afternoon tea for 30 people. We had booked time if arrival. They had sat people at one of our tables in main pub, so we all want outside to marquee. The food cane out in drips and drabs, in fact it took over one and a half hours to bring out all the plates of food. We had prearranged for gluten free and dairy free afternoon teas , but they bought out fruit and cheese. Gluten and dairy free products are available at local supermarkets. I would not recommend large groups going for afternoon tea, its OK for small groups as they don't seem able to cope with larger groups. We did write to the venue, but no reply received. As I say its usually a really good place to meet and eat, but on thus occasion we were very dissatisfied.

Update: We returned for a mid-afternoon Sunday lunch and to watch the Arsenal Tottenham match. Yet again the management and staff were most friendly, efficient and accommodating. Sundays is roast dinner day and we both decided on the lamb shank, this was an excellent choice. The meat was tender, moist and very tasty. It was served with assorted roast and steamed vegetables and topped with a Yorkshire pudding. A boat of piping hot gravy and mint sauce followed within a minute. Quality was excellent and great value. We had a bottle of the Australian Shiraz which was very good. The pub had added a third wall-mounted screen for World Cup which made viewing an even better experience. I'd point out that this is a family pub and only some of the guests were there to enjoy the match. The commentary was therefore not set loudly and this was absolutely fine. This pub had achieved a great balance between younger and older clients; sports fans and those just there for a drink and possibly a meal. Updated 18th Jan 23 What a great Friday-night experience! We'd not used this family friendly pub since it had been refurbished and rebranded as the New Fox Inn. We phoned on a Friday evening and booked a table for supper with Rachel who accommodated us, at short notice, in a most friendly and polite manner. We arrived at the busiest time, around 18:45 when both the bar and the garden were heaving. Our table was reserved for us and, despite the many folks present, we were able to quickly order our food and a bottle of the great value House wine 'The Guv'nor' which was served at our table. Our starters of whitebait and calamari arrived quickly and both were excellent, crisp and piping hot. There was a bit of a delay for our main course, but that was fine as we'd had a starter and were able to chat and enjoy our wine while watching the Arsenal game on the two HD wall-mounted screens. The main courses were also both excellent, with large portions. I had the steak and ale pie which was the best I've had in a restaurant with masses of exceptionally tender, fat-free beef and great pastry top and bottom; a proper pie! My wife had the Hunters chicken which was also great with plenty of chicken and bacon and with a delicious cheese sauce. Our chips too were ultra-crisp and piping hot. Well worth a bit of a wait for such a great, freshly prepared supper. Again, despite the busy Friday evening, staff checked in with us several times to ensure that we were happy with the meal. Great service, exceptional food and terrific value. Will definitely return.

Saturday night family reunion upstairs for table of 8. Wonderful service from friendly staff,food was delivered hot and was of great quality. Thank you and well done to all.

We went randomly with friends and the football was on. It was very busy but still felt safe and the staff were quick and efficient. The atmosphere was great, everyone was friendly and the outside area was clean and accessible.

Huge portions of very good food. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Recommend a visit 🙂

Friendly staff and really tasty pub grub, can recommend the steak pie!

Great stop over on the way back from our business meeting in Ashford. Lovely seats, and a dart board! The governor told me they also do comedy nights. And a big smoking tent in the back yard, where I saw evidence of barbecues...🔥 Good luck to the new owners, they deserve it!

My wife won a competition with radio Ashford, nice little find , great roast
