The Windmill in Cheshire East

We had a brilliant meal and overnight stay with a large group of friends. The rooms are superb and spotlessly clean. Friendly welcome, service was excellent and breakfast was a treat. Parking is no problem for customers as long as you enter your registration at the bar. It is no wonder they restrict parking in the location they are in.

5 of us came for Sunday evening dinner 17th November. We all had the Sunday roast with both turkey and beef with all the trimmings. Massive portions and lovely food. The crumble was to die for. Nice atmosphere with both Kelly the landlady and Julie serving us proud with a smile. We will be back.

What a welcoming and friendly place! The pub is so warm and inviting and beautifully decorated. The landlady Kel and her husband Paul were so friendly and attentive and looked after ourselves and our friends perfectly. We all ordered the Sunday roast which was the largest I have ever seen and so tasty. We were served by Julie who was so friendly and attentive too. I hadn't been to this pub before but I shall certainly be returning to support the great work the staff are doing and would highly recommend anyone to go and enjoy the food and ambiance. Thank you for a lovely afternoon! 5* rating highly deserved! Note....Just remember to put your reg number in at the bar for the free parking!

I can’t believe they have had my post removed! This place should be closed for scamming people! Went in to book a table for Xmas, was kept waiting and somehow got a ticket. Shocked and appalled is an understatement. Don’t go… you have been warned!! (Unless you want a £100 fine).

This place has lots of potential but unfortunately the service was shocking. One lady paying too much attention to her phone. Definitely don't be visiting again.

Any wonder this place gets any business. Used the car park and due to faulty pay machine, issued a fine. Unsuccessfully appealed (no shock there), for what was more than reasonable evidence - but no understanding. Furthermore, due to appealing there’s now no offer of a reduced fine. Whether the pub is independent of the car park, its association to it means it gets tarred with the same brush. These car parks are shameful. Taking money off people with genuine evidence. Shame on you!

This was a lovely little find and was only a 10 min taxi ride from where we wanted to go, so booked to stay 2 nights. Upon arrival, there were numerous signs around the car park and the pub reminding people to put the car reg in to avoid fines (Some previous reviews seemed to suggest nothing was visable.. these were wrong). and the male who welcomed us was very friendly. We asked if we could quickly change in our room and come down for food and drink and we were advised this wouldn't be an issue, and a table was already reserved for us when we came down a short while later. The food was pretty nice, 2 main meals, 2 sides, and a few drinks each set us back a total of £40 which I thought was good value. Now to the rooms... They were comfortable and clean, but sadly one downside... If in a room next to the main road, you might struggle to sleep, especially if you are a light sleerper. Myself and my wife personally didn't have many issues, but it was at times loud. Maybe sound proofing and double glazed could maybe be looked at, although, for an oldish building, the retro windows were decent. The staff were helpful when I had questions and were friendly. All in all, a very decent stay. Thank you!

me and my boyfriend loves coming here. the food is really excellent and brilliant.the staff are really helpful and good service because they always have smiles on there faces when they serve us.really appreciate the chef as well because his food is excellent

I can't believe how welcoming kind considerate and friendly our hosts were I felt like family visiting family bypass the big guns this is what you want I really am giving away a wee gem here treat with care treasure this wee gem. To quote Arnie I'll be back XXX you guys are the best XXX

Stopped to take an emergency telephone call to avoid distraction in the motorway - ended up with £60 fine. The signs albeit BPA approved (I use the term loosely) are placed 7’ high and not in the drivers line of sight. As others mention you don’t expect to pay at a country pub with no other attractions around. I wouldn’t bother appealing as it’s clear that POPLA are in bed with the parking company. My defence that a newly installed gate banner was not in place when I visited because my photos weren’t date stamped were dismissed. Judging by the reviews on food and service too, it appears the ethics and morals of all associated with The Windmill are as low as you can ever get -PLEASE AVOID !!!!!!!!!

Visited this pub on a Sunday afternoon 4 weeks later received a parking fine from Private Eye. Looking on here seems I’m not alone. I can’t believe it never heard before that a pub car park is private land. Pub not interested but I think going by the amount of people who are being fined and leaving negative reviews this will change - unless they make more money from the fines ?I won’t be going again - given1 star because I had too

An extremely unfriendly pub posing as something special. Their car parking charges are a complete rip off. Do not go there under any circumstances.

Used to be a great place to eat.

I've just paid a £60 fine for parking at The Windmill, a place i've been going to for years. I admitt, I didnt see the sign but its never been there before and staff didn't mention it - most expensive pint ive ever had - I wont be going there again

This place is worth the visit, staff were amazing couldn't be more helpful and the food was faultless. Atmosphere was family friendly, relaxed and comfortable which made our visit so much easier as we have a 4yo. Would gladly travel over 200 miles again for the meal and service that was provided.

If you are driving the M6 south of Manchester The Windmill Inn Bar and Restaurant in Tabley at the exit with A556 makes and excellent place for lunch or dinner. The Inn serves traditional British fare and is located 10 miles from Tatton Park Estate and Deer Park and is close to the town of Knutsford. It is also a 3 star Hotel.

Firstly a Mickey Mouse landlord/lease arrangement whereby you have to ensure you enter your ref details into a screen to minimise a parking charge. I see others have still been charged... therefore if you decided to visit pay by card/keep receipts of evidence.

My huband popped in to the pub for a quick drink on Good Friday bank holiday. This was the first time he had visited this pub and did not realise that their was a parking charge for a pub carpark! He was only there for 15 minutes and now we have a £60 fine to pay. This was the first and last tiime we will go to this pub. We will never recommend the Windmill Pub to our family and friends. I would recommend other visitors boycott this pub as it is underhand. There are many lovely pubs in Knutsford and the surrounding area so I would suggest eating and drinking at one of those.

Stopped off for a nice lemonade and lime before continuing my journey home, bar staff assured me I would not receive a ticket if I put my car reg in the screen on the bar. So I did before I purchased my drinks. Just got home from work and had a fine behind my door for £60.00 off Smart Parking!!!

We were meeting our daughter here to have a quick coffee and to transfer our 3 year old grandchild who had had styed with us the previous night. Our grandchild had fallen fast asleep on the journey and we decided to let her sleep and swap her over in the car seat and head our seperate ways. This took 12 minutes in total from entering the CP to exiting. A week later we have both received £60 parking fines.

Popped in for a quick drink, 10 days later parking fine for £60, it is unreasonable and exploitation. This shoddy underhanded methodology of deriving income is immoral but legally permitted. The only way this venue will learn is by customers boycotting and all people caught by this parking scam to leave a negative review and trash their reputation, which looking at recent reviews appears on self destruct- there are better ways to manage parking than exploit genuine customers. We shall never go again for withdrawing ones custom is the greatest protest one can make.

We stopped here on the 31st March this year in order to meet up with my two sons for lunch on our way from Scotland to the Cotswolds. I was asked to go to a machine on the counter as we came in and log in our car numbers. A week or so after arriving home I received a letter from Smart Parking with a parking charge of £60. It would appear that I had made a mistake while inserting my car number. I did appeal this charge and sent them a copy of my bil to prove that I was there for lunch. This was to no avail. The meal however was excellent but be aware about the parking and make sure you don’t make a mistake when inserting your car number. Seems unfair to me.

We were a bit concerned after the reviews from earlier this year as we usually stop here as it’s half way between our bit of Scotland and southern England relatives. Last here in December and it was fine.

Ate here in March and my partner posted a review about our experience.

My husband and I pulled off the M6 to have an evening meal during a long journey. It was a Saturday about 7:30, when the pub was empty we should have realised that there would be issues. We waited a while for our food....rack of ribs and scampi. The chips were cold and soggy, peas dry and the salad limp! The meat and scampi were poor quality and also cold.

We pulled in for a quiet drink and stayed for 30 minutes in Feb.Last week (April) we received a parking ticket for £100. Without a receipt they can’t help us,who has a receipt for 2 cokes two months ago.

I have stayed here on numerous occasions and spent £1,000's on the average accomodation, simple food and expensive drink - during February I had to drive from Cardiff to Newcastle for work and decided to take a break and have a coffee, it was getting dark I pulled in to the car park popped in and had a coffee, got back in the car and headed north, two weeks later I received a £60 parking charge - I was as absolutely livid being scammed like this, I guess there would have been signs however, as it was dark I couldn't see them, also non of the staff informed me when I was purchasing my coffee, this has left a very bad taste and I will no longer be staying here again - 'The Windmill Rip - Off Inn'

I decided to come off the M6 for a break and whilst the place looked a bit empty I waited a while for service after waiting by the bar.

Food was lovely however female staff we heard making bad comments about us for being slow and other personal comments and we sat in quiet spot to have bit privacy relax couldnt due to attitude of female staff members

If I could give 0 stars I would.

On our way back home called into Windmill as I had been a few years before when it had just been refurbished. On arrival the smell of burnt cooking oil should have been an indication of what to expect, when we did go in the place was very dark. Told by staff to find a table and come back to the bar to order of which we did. Order of food was taken along with drink order one tea and a bottle of bud this was served in a dirty half pint carling glass that looked like it was well passed its best graphics on glass worn off. When the meal arrived it looked like the kitchen staff must have dropped the food onto the plate from a great height I say kitchen staff because I cannot believe a chef would have sent this meal out. Chips were burnt and hard in the middle smoked salmon looked like a thick piece of boiled ham, salad smelt like it had been in the plastic bag it must of come in was well past its sell by date, salt and pepper on the table were dirty full of hard old food around the tops. Tea arrived after the meal was served and was so strong it must have been made when we ordered the food and left on the bar and forgotten about. Fish on the sandwich was the only part of the meal that was ok the rest was a very poor. As to the pub itself who on earth put the green down lights behind the bar? The seats are stained with old beer or food, the front of the bar is battered about with the bar stools banging against them. Curtains missing or hanging off, tables sticky. If this a a managed pub the management should tack a couple of steps back and look in great detail on what they are doing. This pub must rely on passing trade as I cannot imagine on who would want to make it a regular stop off.

Visited for breakfast today. It was delicious and the young man serving (didn’t get his name) couldn’t have been more accommodating! Would definitely return.

A friendly warm welcome from the staff. This hotel and restaurant has a cosy atmosphere about it.

Called in to use the loo as I was stuck outside in horrendous traffic. Decided to have some lunch. The barman was keeping people updated on the traffic outside which was a nice touch. I ordered a chicken curry. It was ok. Lacking some flavour but I enjoyed it. Huge portions. I’d come back again.

We were driving up the M6 late on a Friday night and although they stop serving food at 9pm we rang ahead and they were able to cook our order and have it ready when we arrived 20 minutes late due to the roadworks!

This should have been a quick breakfast stop with friends. 8 of us arrived and the place was empty. Yet they seemed to struggle to get food out in a decent time.

Enjoyed drinks and dessert before bed. Also, had a nice breakfast. Breakfast choice is limited, but the food was excellent, as was the staff.

stopped here for dinner great meal good value for money, great choice for pub grub lots of parking available

I’ve just visited the windmill for breakfast with my work colleague and wow! The word was amazing. I can highly recommend this place for breakfast if passing in the A556 or the M6 there’s a lad that works there who is VERY friendly! (In a camp way) but he was very helping

Stayed the night so as to be near to the Cheshire showground. Location good to this end. On arrival the sofa bed in one room was not made up. It took 4 times of asking before the bed was made up and this was done at 21:00, by someone from the kitchen. No management at the premises when requested. Ordered breakfast for 8:00am finally arrived at 8:55. A cooked breakfast with tinned tomatoes, tinned bins, tinned mushrooms and an hour to prepare!! The rooms we stayed in were clean and tidy with a well appointed bathroom, but the management of the establishment leaves a lot to be desired.

Great place, great service, great food, grwat staff, 5 star experience at 3 star prices thoroughly enjoyable meal

Staff made us very welcome. Convenient location, convenient for Knutsford. Well appointed room with excellent shower. Food was very good and alternatives were offered when menu choice was not available. Near a busy road but noise was not overly intrusive in room. The only downside was the WiFi. It was possible to log into the network but signal strength was so weak it was impossible to browse. Given that this is an issue raised by other customers it would be appropriate if the inn were to act on customer feedback.

Love coming to the windmill. The childrens menu is fantastic value and never disappoints my tribe. It's great to have the kids eat a fresh wholesome meal rather than the take away junk at most other places. We sat outside on the benches due to the weather being so nice while the kids ate and I sampled the ice cold Guinness. The staff were great as they always are, even taking the time to assist an elderly couple who were lost with directions. Love the windmill and we will be back !!

Visited here a few times in the past couple of weeks and it’s not rocket science! When you walk in there are loads of signs saying please give your reg! Anyway had a lovely meal nice drinks and the staff were very friendly! Think there names were Dave Dec molly and Beth. Be back soon

Short distance from budget overnight hotel.... took the long walk around.... popped in for a quick drink.... quiet but then it was a Tuesday night.... several diners leaving as I arrived.... very pleasant and very helpful staff...👌

So, we are staying at the ibis. After reading the reviews I was dubious about visiting the windmill. But after paying £10 each way in a taxi to the town...I thought it was worth a shot. The new Road layout isn't as bad as people seem to bang on about. Yes, you do have to cross the main roads around the roundabout, but there are crossings and if you have any sense about how to cross a road, you'll manage. I did, with a 6 year old on a bike.

Walked there from the Ibis hotel to get lunch. The meals were overpriced. I had a fish pie which cost £14 and I had to pay an extra £2 for vegetables. The pie had very little fish and lots of mashed potato.

My wife and I had the best pub meal ever,I had the cottage pie,never mind minced beef,this pie came with chunks of tender beef in a delicious gravy,and plenty of it.

We arrived at this restaurant around 5.30pm ahead of an event we were going to at Arley Hall. The pub was very quiet and not many diners. When we ordered our food we were told by the waitress there would be a 40 minute wait. We asked why as the place was literally deserted for diners and she said sorry but she was told to come and tell us that. As it turned out we only waited around 15 minutes which was fine but a strange how do you do. I think because there was not many people they were hoping you would spend more on drinks!! The food was the typical pub grub and decent portion size. There was nothing out of the ordinary. it was a beautiful evening but not much of an outside seating area and what was there faced directly onto the car park which was a pity.

Homely food. Classic pub grab menu. Large portions. Friendly staff. Very reasonable prices. No faults. 10/10.

This is a nice country pub located just of the motorway in the Cheshire countryside. It was the perfect top off for a pint of cider during a very hot summers day. The inside had a real cosy old world feel and the staff were very polite and welcoming..

We were a large family (13) turning up without booking. It was a bit quiet so not a problem. We ordered a lot of different mains & 1 starter we waited over an hour. Most of my family thought their meals were OK but nothing to write home about. My sisters starter they burnt the oil & masked the taste with lemon until the prawns tasted only of lemon no chilli. My haddock the batter was pale & barely cooked on the outside with the inside white & not cooked at all. The haddock was quite dark & not appealing, the chips & peas were good but I left most of my food How can they take over an hour to deliver food on a quiet night & under cook fish. They might have a large menu but it is over-priced for a basic menu. The staff were helpful & polite so 2 stars. Perhaps there is a reason why a Thursday warm & sunny evening is quiet.

We always stop here as the staff are so friendly and the food is superb. The little ones love it too as the head straight over to the toy corner with the giant teddy bear. Had the pork 5 ways off the specials menu and couldn't fault it. The other half had a sausage special and it was amazing too!! Such value for money with the huge portions

Five of us in total each ordering a different meal. All were disappointing. Not only was the presentation poor but the meals were close to disgusting. The chips which accompanied 4 of the meals were soggy, looked unappealing and tasted revolting. I had fish cakes which were mainly wet potato, no flavour with a 'salad' which was a tiny bit of shredded lettuce. Our friend ordered the fish pie and had to search for the fish amid lots of mashed potato. I couldn't believe how disgusting the steak and ale suet pudding looked although our friend said it tasted OK. The ham and egg were edible but not the chips which came with them. The fish and chips were revolting.

Pleasant pub, friendly staff. Quite an extensive menu, overall food quality not the best I have had. My burger came in a plain bun on its own, quite greasy as were the chips.

Stopped off here for a quick coffee with the other half I had a latte she had a mokka.. both were excellent and beautifully presented. Staff were great and even helped with directions 5 stars

Went to the Windmill for food last night highly recommend we all had a selection of different starters & mains food & was really pleased with it all 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Went for a meal last night for an early mother's day meal, ordered a selection of mains. My fiancée had beef stroganoff, it's the first beef stroganoff I've ever seen that had pilau rice, peppers, no mushrooms or cream sauce, very odd.

As always I can not fault this place. Good food, friendly staff and a warm welcome. Had the mixed grill washed down with a pint of dizzy blonde... who doesn't like a dizzy blonde eh?

I recommend the Windmill for an overnight stay. The rooms are spacious and for the price comfortable. The best part for me was the food, great quality traditional pub grub! The best pea & ham soup ever! The staff are attentive and helpful.

Called in here for lunch mid afternoon on a wet Saturday. Lovely old style pub interior, warm welcome, Robinson’s ales (very nice Dizzy Blonde) and an extensive menu including pub classics and salads etc. We had a mixed grill and cottage pie, both superb! The cottage pie was made with chunks of lean beef, not mince, not an ounce of fat anywhere!! Really tasty and highly recommended. Didn’t realise they had letting rooms too, makes it ideal for pre-airport stopovers or events at Stratton or nearby. Will be going again...

Visited with my husband in the evening. The pub was very cosy with it being dark outside, and we were taken to table 18 (I think it was, nice table with a comfy seat in the window). The food itself was okay, very pricy for what it was really, but the standout factor was the noise that seemed to be coming from the kitchen. It can only be described as a party of hyenas, raucously laughing and shouting. I noticed the barman seemed to be in and out of the kitchen, chatting with the chef whilst the girl behind the bar was running the place. It was fairly quiet so I can understand wanting to pass the time, but it doesn’t look great to the customers when it looks as though no work is being done, and to be honest the place looked like it could have done with a hoover and a lick of paint!

Myself and my wife come here a lot, and we always love the food! But the thing I have noticed the most, is that on many, many occasions the owner (as he had told me he owns the place) likes A LOT to drink! Which is fine, but when it gets to the point where he is rambling on to people he has never even met before, who are just trying to enjoy a quiet drink it is not only annoying for them, but embarrassing to watch! Please leave these poor people alone!

Easy to access from the main road with lots of parking. Friendly bar staff served us. Find a table, choose your food and order at the bar. We chose the smaller options from the menu and were not disappointed, really enjoyed it.

Best roast dinner. Home cooked, hot plates and tasty. Almost as good as mine. Well done. Staff friendly.

Ended up at the Windmill as the pub that we wanted to have lunch at had an hour wait for food. We were promised a quick service and were served after 20 minutes. My order of a cheese and pickle baguette was truly disappointing. The baguette consisted of two slightly stale white rolls. A small amount of grated cheese had been placed in these rolls and the pickle came in a separate dish. A portion of chips were also included. The cheese rolls were dreadful. To charge £8 for this "meal" was unbelievable.

Always thought it looked lovely from the outside so gave it a go on the way home from Manchester.

We have had an enjoyable lunch here before and weren't disappointed this time. I had fish and chips and my wife had steak pudding and chips. The food overall was good and plentiful, the chips exceptionally so. The beer was real ale and was also good, we shall no doubt return again.

Fabulous room. Very spacious. Stylish clean and modern. Super power shower and decent size bathroom. Would definitely stay again.

Have dined here several times, and always been impressed with the quality and quantity of food. Friendly staff and nice ambience are appreciated. Good car park, and superb location just about on the junction of the M.6 and A.556. Have never stayed here, but friends have, who have been very complimentary.

Visited here for a spot of Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed. Friendly staff nice chilled atmosphere and great food! The portions were huge and very tasted. We opted for the lamb which was cooked to perfection. We shall be back soon.

We went in late teatime in the week, surprisingly quiet for where it is, ordered food which I had the main course fishcakes which were severely lacking seasoning and lemon , chips were homemade and very nice, my companion had the steak pie which she enjoyed, bought in but tasty, 2 sweets and coffee and on our way. What I would say is the staff were all very young and not attentive at all, I had to go to the bar to order coffee and sweets even though it was quiet, no check back either. Overall not bad , there’s a lot worse out there and I’d go again if in the area.

We always stop here when traveling north or south on m6' because the food is great and service top notch, clean and friendly ,thanks

This lovely public house is situated right on top of junction 19 of the M6, its location is perfect for leaving the Motorway for a break, something for lunch or even an evening meal. The food is absolutely fantastic. After leaving our youngest at Manchester University I needed to get Mum a drink as we were well aware the house was now empty and we both needed a drink. I suppose I was a bit down when we entered the pub and I asked for a pint of lager and lime, the young barman started pouring the lager without the lime in the glass, I asked him to put the lime in first, he replied "nah, its all right mate I will put it in at the end" . All you get when you first drink it is a mouth full of lime, its not nice. We sat over in the corner and looked at the menu, I had the egg and black pudding stack thing which was absolutely lovely, the good lady had the soup of the day which there was loads of. For Mains the good lady ordered the Cottage pie and I had the Steak and Ale suet pudding which was outstanding. We honestly could not eat another thing so we didn't have a desert. The young lady that served us was really lovely and nothing was too much trouble. I wished the lad had not come near the table because all he done was stare at me and me feel uneasy, he obviously didn't like me advising him on his bar skills but he forgot the golden rule...... the customer is always right.

Staff were very polite and professional. The food was ok - adequate and enjoyable but nothing stood out. The setting is a bit tired and dark but not a problem. Location is good for a pre motorway stop. There is a sign outside suggesting there has been trouble by football fans - I will say no more as that will not be their fault.

Lovely pub/restaurant with huge evening menu choice. Much better option than Knutsford Services. Table service and fuller menu options apply after 5.00pm. Now a regular stop for us when travelling North to South to break up the journey.

This pub situated opposite the petrol station, just off the roundabout coming off junction 19 of the M6 on to the A556, it has 2 real ales & plenty of staff.

Called on our way home....we haven't been since our first date 20 yrs ago......pleasantly surprised. Had a burger and chips and was overjoyed to find REAL chips were swerved. The staff were very friendly and helpful....can see us calling again soon.

the hotel was clean and tidy. the food excellent. the staff friendly and helpfull. breakfast was good value for money. the only down side was not being made aware that food service stopped at 7 and the bar closes at 9 on a sunday

Came off the M6 due to traffic and popped into The windmill, never been before but will definitely go again. The staff where friendly and helpful. We went with the sausage and mash and a mixed grill, it was lovely. all in all a great find.

I had my granddaughter visiting from Scotland and took her to the Windmill for a meal The place itself was dirty and there was a man brushing up whilst people were eating That's all he did apart from chatting to people at the bar There was one girl on the bar and she was taking food orders as well We had our starter which was ok and then had a long wait for our main meal When it came it was very plain and basic Needless to say we won't be making a return visit!!!

Parecía un atractivo comenzar con el bastante cestas colgantes cerca del las mesas al aire libre cubierto. Lo que parecía un poco tranquilo encontramos una mesa y pedimos en el bar como signo indicado. La comida nos pareció caro en el menú, pero pedimos la mitad pescado y patatas fritas de £9 (el precio no es malo y mal) y hamburguesas que estaban en un panecillo seco normal con una ensalada aburrida y patatas fritas caseras que estaban bien. El servicio estaba bien aunque un poco indiferente. Hablaba con alguien después que dijeron que fuimos la semana antes y decidimos no comer según el menú caro.

Thanks to everyone we all had a good time food great all of our rooms were spot on .we cannot say more again everything was great so thanks see you next time

Great location, the food was excellent, and the portions were extremely satisfying, the wonderful friendly staff made our stay very welcoming.

Celebramos nuestra reunión de noche Casa antigua Tabley chicos en este pub y tengo que decir que fue fantástico!

Utilizamos las instalaciones del Molino para la elección y el personal es super junto con su comida. Siempre lleno en el 7 dormitorios así que si su pop pasando por y tener una cena o quizás una estancia. El personal es encantador el 2 Jonathan's en el bar/restaurante se cuidan y Kim es la directora y es genial

Este fue nuestro sitio más cercano para comer, así que tratábamos de nuestro hotel. No parece mucho desde el exterior, pero tiene un ambiente acogedor pub inglés dentro. El personal era un poco dis interesados pero eficiente lo suficiente. Si me hubieran dicho sobre el especial en la pizarra probablemente habría tenido que pero. . . . . . . Fue una noche tranquila. La comida era bastante buena. Comida típica de pub en el menú. Hamburguesas de £11. Preparado y luego probablemente desde el microondas. Hígado y tocino de mi marido podría haberlo hecho con algunas verduras en el plato. Mi curry estaba bien. Los postres un fiver para una tarta chocolatina Snickers. Un poco exagerado para la calidad. No me apresuraría a volver.

My family and I visited on a Sunday afternoon and I have to say this pub does the best roast dinner ever. Everything on my plate was cooked to perfection. The kids food was great too, plus they ate for free! The service was excellent and the staff were very attentive, they really couldn't do enough for us. The food is far superior to many of the pubs in the area and doesn't cost a fortune. We will definitely be returning soon, a very memorable roast dinner!

Clean pub. Family friendly with both high chair and kids menu. And also good selection of drinks and desserts. Could take a woman on a date here.

Myself and Partner visited the Windmill On Sunday 5th February, looking forward to a Delightful Carvery that was once served to be told look at the blackboard we only do Sunday Lunch. I ordered 2 bottles of water to be served tap warm water, no lemon and no ice. I was astonished to see how the standard of the pub had changed in recent months, it's nice to be greeted with a Good Morning, Afternoon, Evening etc with polite mannerism doesn't go Amis. The Bar Tender said he had only been their 3 weeks he clearly needs training on good Customer Service Inhouse Hospitality to be able to strive In Business.

My wife and I had been out driving in Cheshire and wanted somewhere to eat. We've eaten here a couple of times before and enjoyed good food. Just off the M6 at Junction 19, this is a great place to stop off to break a journey. There is a varied menu, the surroundings are good and the staff are helpful. The food was nicely presented, tasty and enjoyable. We notice that its a restaurant with rooms and, since its about 90 minutes from home, its too far for an evening out but would be great to stay overnight after a meal.

We visited here yesterday for a large family meal (there were twelve of us total) for celebration lunch. The food cannot be faulted, plenty of it and very well prepared. The staff friendly and very helpful. We will be back!

Called in 27th December 13.00pm ordered for myself 11 year old Son 7 year old Daughter. 2 Adult meals and 1 free kids meal for my Daughter The Kids meal is a REALLY SMALL PORTION more suited for much younger child. 2 small chicken strips about several chips & large bowl of pea`s I was really shocked at the portion being honest my Daughter ate it all and some of mine as well left me hungry no one came to ask if everything was ok during the meal otherwise I would have paid for a better size portion more in line for a 7 year old, yes I know its free but its SO SMALL its just not worth having for my Daughters age & upwards

Visited as half way to a night out at Manchester. Ample parking at the rear and made welcome on entering. Decent menu and very pleased with the sausage and mash x2 and the delicious crispy lamb chops. Really nice home made chips also! The staff were very friendly which always helps.

8 of us dined here Friday at 7pm - without wasting my time on all the faults. The food was mediocre, the hosting from the staff was appalling, never been to dine at a place where it felt like we were inconveniencing them by being there! Not a single smile from any of the staff towards us. The place was completely dead considering it was the weekend before Christmas on a Friday so I think that speaks volumes of the welcome you will receive here.

This is a great stop off at Junction 19 on M6. Such a pleasant alternative to a service station. Extensive menu with something for everyone. Very relaxed ambience. We like the fact that you can just turn up and there is always a table available. A regular option for us when travelling south down M6.

We ate here quite late after driving from Holyhead after we arrived by ferry from Dublin. We received a warm welcome and the waitress was very friendly and helpful. The four of us enjoyed our meal. The waitress showed us their rooms, however, unfortuantely for us we were booked into the Ibis which turned out to terrible. Cold showerm sticky floors, hard beds and no tea or coffee making facility. If you are looking for meals adn accommodation in the area try the Windmill Inn.

Please don't go here for food.The food was so bad we couldn't eat at all and we up and left. As a way of saying sorry £1.50 was taken off our bill. Nice of them! Probably the worst meal we have had.

All was fantastic , we had a meal book at the smoker down the road, but it was closed and nobody had told us, so we came to the windmill and were so glad we did,food 10/10 service and staff 10/10 they took 15 people tuning up and served us with hardly any wait and they were quite full on a Sunday thanks again to all of you we have already booked again

Booked one night for its location. Our Room (Nr3) was modern, clean and well furnished with all the expected facilities but no shower gel so bring your own. Loads of hot water and soft fluffy towels. However the room was at the front and did suffer from road noise although a fan was provided to move the air around as opening the window was too noisy; would ask for a rear facing room next time. Had evening dinner in the restaurant; food and service were good and my wife said her Hunter's chicken was the best she had ever had. Breakfast was nice and prepared to order. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout.
