The Windmill in Peterborough

Great atmosphere in bar area. Friendly and helpful staff. Food was tasty, well presented and good value. Good selection of real ales. Dog friendly. 4th visit to this pub & will certainly be back.

Great night at The Windmills first Murder mystery evening. Will definitely go again. Good food and great company. Well done to everyone involved.

I like an old traditional pub in a historic building and the owners, staff and service does this establishment proud by continuing the tradition through in what they offer. An extensive beer garden, a good pint of Guinness and well presented food by friendly staff. Thank you people.

Really......really! Good roast dinner! Clearly freshly made, perfect quantity, loverly relaxed atmosphere, nothing was a hassle or rushed. I would highly recommend a visit! So much more than just a summer pub for the beer garden they deliver all year round. Excuse the photo I was already well into it before taking a picture!!!

Happy, Friendly staff. Great entertainment and drama! Fantastic Family atmosphere in a great setting. Highly recommended 👌

Weve been to the Windmill 3 times previoisly just got drinks whenever we stay at Ferry Meadows in our caravan. Its got a nice play area for our daughter to play in. Tonight on our 4th visit we came here this evening for our 8th year wedding anniversary meal and we were not disappointed. We are staying at Ferry Meadows Caravan Club site and we hadn't even realised you actually get 10% off by coming here! That was the cherry on top of our already fabulous evening. I met Victoria the manager and she was absolutely lovely such a friendly person The bar staff were amazing, the waiters and even the general punters were so welcoming. This is our favourite place to go with our children and without. The food is very good and we can't wait to return 😋 Kylie

Great traditional village pub, hidden gem. Great service and friendly staff. Food was well presented and good value. Great selection of traditional beers on offer. Happy to revisit next time I'm visiting

Went today for Sunday lunch but was a bit disappointing to be honest! Roast meats from carvery were lovely, as was the chef on the carvery, but the rest was very average. Cauliflower cheese very poor and has to be ordered as an extra. No one asked us if our food was ok and we were largely ignored, whilst other tables seemed to have 2 or 3 servers. Waitress did refund cauli cheese as she said others had sent it back - so if you know there’s a problem with it why then, would you continue to serve it???? We went to sample the roast as we want to book somewhere for 8 of us for Christmas Day but sadly it won’t be here unfortunately! Based on today’s experience we wouldn’t go out for Sunday lunch here again.

Had the ribeye steak. It was very good quality. and delicious. Peppercorn sauce was excellent and the rest of the meal. Expensive meal and I had a bit of a wait - but worth it! A nice pub in a nice area. Make sure you visit soon!.

Had food and drinks with friends. Staff were friendly and engaging. The atmosphere is very welcoming and relaxed. Had some wonderful food prepared by the new chef 👨‍🍳. Great selection of beers on tap, would certainly recommend either the bar food or the restaurant 😀

A great pub. Friendly & welcoming staff. A great venue, plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. A fantastic children’s playground & dog friendly in the bar area. We will definitely return in future to try the menu as the food looks delicious!

Only used the outdoor area but good atmosphere. Nice and quiet but some background music would be a good idea. Not eaten here so cannot rate the food. Plenty of outdoor space. Took our dogs and plenty of water for them to drink

Outstanding food. Lovely pub as well. Relaxed. Enjoyable place. Great outdoor seating. Kids play area. Well kept. All round 10/10

Very helpful people. Nice selection of food and drinks.

Good food,good service,atmosphere wasn't the best as it was early in the afternoon. But they have a massive garden which has a great play area for kids,with lots of seating for families. Would recommend and definitely go again

Booked the venue for my wife's wake . Excellent choice , very professional and friendly staff good quality food and service. Highly reccomend many thanks

Food and service very good. Outside and play areas clean and functional. Overall experience ok.

Desserts were really disappointing, Sticky toffee pudding for £7.50 that looked like a child’s portion and had clearly just been overheated in the microwave. Unfortunately the part we were seated in looks really run down and like it needs a lot of TLC. Mains were fine, but nothing special. Tables definitely need to be properly cleaned from time to time with hot water and soap. They were so sticky that the wine glasses were stuck to them! Jug the water was brought out in looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in ages too. Overall just nothing special at all. Staff were lovely though Hence the 3 stars.

Great pub serving real food not pub grub, great chefs, super service, well done to all we shall visit again. Delightful place

Onions rings came halfway into dinner mixed up the ribeye steaks which had no flavour could have done with some seasoning mushroom sauce was very thin won't be hurrying back

Overpriced average food consumed this evening. A very disappointing falafel salad. A hand fist of wilted mixed leaves, a few halves cherry tomatoes, 5 olives with 4 small falafels with the dearest amount of hummus... £16.50.... Very limited vegan options. Unlikely to frequent again.

We took my elderly mum & dad for a birthday lunch and once again were disappointed. Food was poor, really hard pie pastry, slimy salad, burnt chicken, lack of vegetables and miniscule portions. Certainly not value for money! The pub itself is in a lovely spot its such a shame the food is a complete let down. We won't be eating here again.

Sunday carvery was very good and reasonably priced, service was a little slow but the place was very busy so it was understandable X would I go again most definitely yes 😁

Update: I’ve been back a handful of times, including the Sunday carvery. I’ve had great service every time and once I asked to take leftovers away and they brought me something to put it in. Sunday carvery is a good value. It’s now summer and the beer garden is vibrant. The main menu is a bit overpriced for what you get, for me. But, we are enjoying the beer garden and the occasional carvery. I’ve updated rating. The Windmill is worth a go. Must have been an off day on my first visit. 1st review: Most bizarre restaurant experience of my life. Had a booking for Sunday roast. Came in and asked if we could eat outside by the playground as it we had small kids and the restaurant was very quiet and not kid friendly. They gladly accepted. Walked out the long path and was impressed with the beautiful beer garden. It had just rained so we needed to sit under the tent. Not one single clean table there so I had to bus a table. Had to make a few trips back and forth to clear the mess. It started raining again so we decided to Just eat inside in the more relaxed pub side. 3 people working the bar and and not a clean table there. My only option was to bus and clean yet another table! No one working there offered to clear it. They even gave me a spray bottle to clean it with. (I asked for some spray to be fair). Food took an hour to come out. You can’t have starters first. So I bought peanuts. Roast was huge and was decent. I wanted to take leftovers home and that is where it got crazier. They act shocked at the mere suggestion and they have to dig through a storage shed for take away containers. I was handed an entire roll of foil to wrap food in. It just kept getting crazier. I had to laugh. I worked a full shift prepping tables so we could sit down. And then had to offer solutions and wrap food in tin foil to take leftovers home. I asked if no one ever takes their food home. The bar staff said “nope, not really”. £30 a plate. And you can’t take the rest home. Also have to bus and clean your own tables. And wait and hour for food. Will I go back? Yeah probably. Food was decent, not incredible, but edible, and I can walk there. The outdoor space is impressive. I’ll bring my own cleaning supplies and Tupperware. Oh you also have to load a tray up with your drinks and trek them way out to the back of the garden if you’re eating outside. And your dessert has to be brought with the mains as no one is going to do table service out there. £30 a plate. Maybe that sounds crazy for a £100 dinner. Convenience comes with a price I suppose.

Average local pub. Our dinner main courses were tasty, but the prawn cocktail entree had almost no prawns, mainly mayonnaise. The wine by the glass (Shiraz) was average at best. Very quiet on a Tuesday night.

Haven't had food there. I just went in for a beer and that was nice enough

Looked like a nice place. I got there as they were closing the restaraunt, so i I left.

Warm, friendly welcome. Nothing too much for the lovely man at the bar. Food was yummy and plentiful. We sat in bar but there is a huge beer garden. We would definitely return.

The food was average and simple but nice. staff are so kind however they dont collect plates or glasses toilet is very clean everything went fine just an average pub with a kids playground its a good place to have a glass of beer on a warm day

The windmill is a very nice place to be with family and friend and the burger we ordered was amazing and the staff offered everything you might need including sauces and there was a playground for children and there were outdoor televisions and you are allowed to smoke if you are a smoker

Spent a couple of hours in the garden, nice atmosphere, good sized playground for children. Amazing staff, that went above and beyond! I totally recommend!

Haven't been here for ages, we had my grandson with us so happy to see such a big play area. We sat outside and ordered food, impressed with the variety on the menu. The young man who took our order in the bar was very pleasant. Food was fabulous. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

If you want dishwater on your Sunday roast this is your place! A gravy holds the roast together and it was very disappointing as the rest of the roast wasn't too bad. Bland, no flavour and won't return.

Drank and o lying ate on my last night unfortunately,felt like a local from day one ...knew my drink and young lady in restaurant on final night suggested the pie ..it was bloody handsome ..quiz night on a Thurs and overall a great pub experience..what a local to have ..thank you 🙌🙌🙌

Had a wonderful evening in there a few months back. They had a quiz night on (I did badly lol). I didn’t eat food but the atmosphere was brilliant, the staff are friendly and helpful and the there was a lovely vibe in there.

Great bar,great staff nothings to much trouble and the food is to die for,absolutely will be going back until I’ve worked my way through the awesome menu

Food was very overcooked and at 2pm on Sunday had run out of lots of stuff, even mash potato !!! Lovely area outside bit grassed area needs looking after more

Friendly staff. Plenty of people there in the garden. Ordered x3 carvery’s, rib eye steak and a kids chicken tenders. Did come late afternoon so carvery was looking quite sad. Quite a limited menu also. Ordered rib eye which was £26.95 not including sauce and ordered medium rare. Came medium well done. Quite disappointing but enjoyed what I had. A lot on a small plate. Didn’t have the Stilton sauce but asked me if peppercorn was okay. I said yes. Was okay. Quite runny. Pudding was nice. 3 x brownies. 2 x sticky toffee puddings. Very nice.

Great pub, good atmosphere and friendly staff, can't ask for much more!

Good food at very reasonable prices. Friendly bar staff. Nice outdoor section and children's play area. Recommended.

Absolutely lovely Carvery, great meat, and cooked perfectly. It's really tasty, super friendly service. We will most definitely recommend and will be returning soon.

Amazing carvery, although a few tables were squeezed in so moving back to the table with a full plate was a little awkward.

Traditional and quaint pub set in a very nice location with a decent sized car park, nice spacious beer garden and an outdoor child friendly play centre. The menu choices are nicely varied, tasty, quality and reasonably priced and as is the choice of drinks in particular a nice range of beer. Family friendly and great service makes this pub/restaurant a must visit.

I had already download the menu and had decided to have the weekly carvery,. Only to be told on the evening they no longer do this, only on a Sunday now. So my next choice was steak and ale pie. Then told they don't have mash. A bit disappointed, but decided on the brisket burger, which was delicious. Look forward to going again and hopefully have a better experience.

My eldest Daughter, her friends & I just recently attended a friends wake in the Restaurant side The Windmill. Pleasent Bar Staff who served with kind humour after an emotional day. I've dined many times at The Windmill & always had delicious food and service. I'll be back in the warmer days so my youngest daughter can enjoy the park outside.

Food was reasonable but the beef I could not cut Staff never showed and asked if we wanted any more drinks so went without

Just had our wedding reception held here. The experience was made easy and stress free by all the staff before and during the night. Friendly and helpful all the way. The venue is beautiful inside and out. The food was amazing with every guess commenting on lovely it was.

Very friendly welcome, great choice of beer and reasonably priced menu. Probably my fault for opting for carvery, not bad, but I never find them great. Massive pub, definately back when weather improves with grandchildren fot super play area and outside bar!

Opted for the main menu rather than the carvery ,but will return for carvery in a couple of weeks. Food was top notch and Toni served us and the other guests in the restaurant with speed and professionalism. Superb

Visited for carvery 5 stars Friendly staff food excellent we will definitely going back. Great atmosphere

Dropped in the dog friendly bar for a cruelty free coffee, nice bar restaurant next door..

Excellent carvery and really good value for money Good service by helpful staff

Nice environment to catch up with friends and family, didn't try the food, we just had drinks. Would visit again

Food is top notch. Great pint of Guinness and an amazing atmosphere. Highly recommended. Dog friendly too.

Lovely Christmas meal with our photo group. Good service. Friendly staff.

Always great food and friendly service

What a lovely place. We had great meals in this dog friendly bar. Even though they were busy with festive bookings we didn't have to wait long for our food from their normal menu. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We are not local but we will be back!

Booked for our teams Christmas meal, restaurant was well presented, staff incredibly friendly and couldn't do more for us. Food came out in good time and was great quality. Good prices too, would visit again and recommend.

We held our Christmas function here and we were glad that we did. The service, food and set up was very good. Everyone enjoyed themselves and had a good time. No complaints. Could not have asked for anything more. A great venue.

Didn't have food on this occasion but the service and choice of ales was ace

Very expensive very small portions not worth the money and the 1 hour wait

It was a quiet drink with a friend.. The people were nice and the general feel of the pkace was pleasant enough..

Family meal out, good selection of food & drink and all food fresh & cooked to order, good service and sensible prices.

Friendly atmosphere especially with the darts team, drinks a bit expensive but good selection

We had a fantastic intimate wedding reception here in their private room. 16 people. Great service and really high quality food which surprised us. The bar was pricey, but nowhere is cheap these days I guess. Still recommend

Recently came for Sunday dinner and even though restaurant was near on empty, mains took over half an hour after starter plates had been collected. Food was nice but meat VERY fatty. Not what it once was. Didn't stay for pudding due to length of time for the mains.

Thank you Giles and team members for a very rememberable evening you made us and our dog Odin very welcome

Really nice pub, great food and service. Really good for kids as they have a decent size playground for them. They play live music from time to time, which has been fantastic.

Nice location, very good service. We will be back with pleasure.

Lovely food. Friendly and helpful service . We had a lovely meal and shall definitely be back.

Only came in for drinks and loved the cocktails

lovely place to go for a quiet drink i attended an event here sip and paint which was the ideal spot for it

Lovely food friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere

Went to the windmill for a small gathering after a family funeral staff were extremely friendly and accommodating nothing was too much trouble and the service was exemplary food was also outstanding and good quantity also highly recommended 👌 👍

We went today for a Sunday road as we have been before and really enjoyed it previously. The plate size seems to have shrunk We ordered a mix of chicken and beef roast meals. The cabbage was very undercooked and hard. The beef was very fatty although what meat was there was tasty just not enough. The roast potatoes were bland and we only got 3. The pan roasted chicken supreme had soggy skin with no colour or sign of roasting. These meals cost £19-20 each and were very small the Menu stated that if you want extra potatoes Yorkies or gravy it’s on them however the table staff were very busy and short staffed and didn’t ask if the food was ok which lead me to think that they know it’s not. We shall not be returning.

Thank you all very much for putting on a great event for us on Saturday to celebrate 40 years of our company Rivercircle. The new private outside venue was perfect, we were so fortunate that we were gifted amazing weather. It had a real Ibiza vibe! The day and evening could not have gone better, the food was superb and received many compliments. Fantastic grazing food on arrival, followed by a BBQ for 100 people which isn't easy to pull off, but you certainly did. The bar staff and hostesses were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. You all did us proud - very well done.

When visiting here for my first visit for food as a group, two of us had the same meal, (pie of the day) which was delicious, unfortunately both of us ended up with upset stomachs within a few hours after eating, the other person was also sick, thankfully mine was just the upset belly. I would visit here again but for drinks only. Everything else seemed nice, and the team was friendly.

A very friendly pub with Great Real ale & service...staff & owner were amazing...I am sure the food would be very good...we didn't dine on this occasion ...

It was the first time at the Windmill and only wish had known about it sooner. An absolutely fantastic venue. Certainly will be back.

Wonderful place to eat and meet friends for a drink. The craft fair and kids entertainment was wonderful today, great atmosphere despite the weather and raising money fir charity too. The staff were really friendly and the restaurant and bar area are really clean and beautifully decorated. Will definitely be back.

Called in here for a drink. Great selection of real ales.

Chef greeted us as we walked in the door very polite and cheerful which was nice ,also good too meet the chef ,the young waitress that was serving us all night was very professional was polite and welcoming very good 🙂 meals was good prices was good just found the drinks was a little expensive that’s the only downside,but everything else 💯 well done everyone,, Julie & Chris

Lovely place, food expensive and not enough choices especially for children

Great pub friendly staff the food we had was excellent. I would recommend it.

Rather the Windmill than any chain restaurant. Good and tasty and good value for money.

The food and drink was over priced and too many people was about. Has for the music it was far to loud. Only good thing about it was the play park and that was about it

Called with family as we had met up in Peterborough. Large outside area , and pub inside more restaurant style, than traditional pub. Food was a bit disappointing. Salad was mainly Rocket and a bit uninspiring, and the comment on the burger and fish cakes was they were OK. Meze starter was good.

Great food Great location Great atmosphere 👌

Sadly they keep spending money on this lovely village pub but never listen to feedback about what customers want. It is too expensive for a village pub. They have priced themself just out of the market. It’s practically £12 for a prawn cocktail!! It puts people off. It’s the reason many villagers don’t go along with the atmosphere/service from the land lady. Every time me or my friends go in she never speaks to us or even exchanges a smile. She shoes the nice guy with gold tooth to serve us after she has finished chatting. As if we are interrupting her even when zero customer are inside. Whilst the ethos is family owned friendly pub ..friendly it is not. When asked last year about what would be good on the menu the feedback was snubbed. When we suggested it was more expensive than anywhere else we go ( we eat out 2/3 times per week and never the windmill) the land ladies partner said ‘you obviously don’t live here as houses sell for 1 mil, the price is relative!!! How blind and rude. We live on church drive. The cuckoo is their competition and the houses in Alwalton are higher end too? Yet is cheaper with prices more palatable. The garden refit is lovely truly beautiful and people that come will come for a beer or too on a sunny day but that will not boost custom as they all say how expensive it is. Sit among them in the garden and the jokes are a plenty about cost. Not to mention a landlady who is stand off ish. People that walk out with a menu and then have a beer and leave to eat someone else. A promotion could be as a family run pub that cares about its community and has reduced prices for cost of living and then keep them that way would be a business boost. Happy hour? People with money are d thrifty I fear that the owners haemorrhage money on this place and will not listen to advice . One other thing that people look for in a village place especially of this age is open fires. Bring them back. Local produce. Use the words ‘local, British farmed, organic, grass fed’ Home cooked winter warmers Most of the menu has been the same for a long long time. They clearly ask a few regulars that matches their own views. Several times I have been at the bar and been served after the locals that prop tye bar up every day. It’s new business they should seek. It is not welcoming and I met a friend there this week and as I arrived her first words was ‘that was awkward’ as she walked out with a drink to gardens. Play some music all the time in the garden. Doesn’t have to be loud

Food was so great , I really enjoyedmy 30 Stake , but the service and the atmosphere in there was really bad !!!! I felt like a corner Pub spending for a evening meal with family.....Honestly, I would like yo come again when I am in Peterborough, but in this way, is horrible @!!!!!!!!

Brilliant pub!! Fantastic pub quiz, awesome food. Great atmosphere and staff!!

Had a paint and sip night Had a great time

It's got a good rep, my g and t was delish but it seems cold and unfriendly, music and daytime TV on at the same time? despite the location and rep. Could do with an open fire and some proactive bar staff.

Great selection of beers and lovely warm atmosphere, food was plentiful and delicious

Great place for lunch, a very versatile menu, and a very friendly host

Lovely village pub, good food and excellent play area for the kids

Excellent food, superb service and the dog got spoilt rotten. A lovely, warm atmosphere.

Met friends in the beer garden, was lovely and clean. Currently undergoing an update, I'm sure this will improve the play facilities for children and improve the safety of all who visit. Good choice of drinks available.

Lovely little pub, great place to chill and relax

Great place although a little pricey. Ok for the occasional visit.
