Great country pub for food and real Ales with regular guest beers. Great for walkers and dog lovers who are welcome . Has a great real fire in Autumn and winter to add to the cosy atmosphere.

Worst experience at a restaurant for a long time. It was my wife's birthday so we picked a place we had been to before not to be disappointed. I ordered the fish and chips and my wife the sea bass. The fish was OK but a bit greecy but the Sea bass was very poor the potatoes were hard and over cooked as was the rest of the veg. We called a waitress over and she took the food back but I had eaten my meal by the time my wife's was returned ,this time it was OK. As it was my wife's birthday we decided to order a sweet, big mistake a 30 min wait for a sloppy cheese cake and a pot of custard that was supposed to be a creme brulee. After complaining a second time we were told a new chef had just started and kitchen not yet up to par. No kidding. Avoid at all costs.

I stopped by after walking the canal, a great location. Lots to choose from in the menu with an added bonus of a beer garden. We ordered fish and chips, gammon and 2 cokes, which all came to £40. Good service and the food was just as tasty!

Wasn't impressed at all, ordered a green risotto with chicken added. Meal came put Mayonnaise on but couldn't find any chicken, asked and the waitress said she hadn't asked for the chicken but would. So I waited and out came a small skin on chicken leg with dried up skin. I asked what I was supposed to do with that, so the waitress said would I like a fresh risotto, so I said yes. Within minutes the new risotto came out, luke warm, could taste the Mayonnaise with what looked like uncooked shredded slimy chicken. So then I had to pick all the chicken out but finally left it. Not a cheap meal either. My partner when we were leaving took the plate and refused to pay for that meal but paid for his. I don't get out often as I'm a 24 hour carer and was really looking forward to my special treat with my partner. Needless to say we didn't stay for dessert even though we had planned to. Won't be visiting again 😕

Visited this restaurant after walking along the nearby canal. The setting is very pleasant and in excellent condition. The staff were great and very pleasant too. We had a Sunday roast dinner ( stuffed belly pork) which was absolutely fantastic. The pork was cooked to perfection, mash and roast potatoes, 5 veg and a large crispy Yorkshire pud. Extra gravy too ! One of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had for a while and very reasonably priced too. Additionally the menu was varied and there was a special board selection too. Spoilt for choice we were . This place is well worth the trip and I’m sure I’ll be back again. Thankyou to Ed and his staff for your excellent and kind service. Tony

Visited for the first time today at Lunchtime, dining companion had been some time ago. Plenty of available tables on arrival, on entry the background music stood out, it was far too loud, the young waitress showed us to a table. Instantly we realised we had a speaker directly above us couldn't hear our own voices,so asked if we could move further away. Our conversation still had to compete with the music which was frustrating...I would suspect the majority of diners like to communicate over their meal. A good varied menu choice, though only having mains, it did seem to take some time considering your pub wasn't busy. The food was hot (plates too 👍) and very tasty, my dining companion finished his meal first, the waitress approached the table asked for second time was all OK & took his plate.I was still finishing my meal. That waitress should have come back when both had finished eating, they should always wait until the party have all finished. There is nothing worse than a person being left eating & plates being removed. Though 'silver service' hardly exists in eating establishments these days,this is a definite no,no, hence the 3 stars.Would hope this is fedback to all staff.

Food was brilliant and portions were huge, service was sadly lacking. Started great with a young woman who greeted us, but she either finished soon after or was on a break and it was as if no one took over, we were left for a long time with dirty plates on the table and had to ask multiple times for simple things. Baby change also needs massive improvements - only available in the ladies toilets and is high up above a toilet in a cramped cubicle

I did not enjoy the 2-course special. Croquettes for starter unpleasant although one better than the other? Very tough mushrooms and rest of it mush. Flat iron steak inedible. Served rare rather than medium and very chewy so just managed to eat tiny bits from outside. Enjoyed the tomatoes. I did complain and was asked if I wanted something taken off the bill. Awkward as I wasn’t paying but felt like a reduction should have been made as the steak was clearly disgusting but I had eaten the chips and tomatoes.

Very Disappointed, with portion size served in a desert/ soup bowl to make it look more, plentiful times in past we've had the lamb Henry, but this was ridiculous, I've had more meat on a chicken thigh,!!! Mash was none existing & veg was consisted of 3 little pieces. At a price of £ 23 pounds Totally outrageous, paying for refurbishments that was completed last week therfore won't be going back!!!!

My daughter and I went for our Xmas lunch celebration on the 23rd December and so booked a table 2 weeks in advance. Table for 2 on our favourite table in front of the fire. We were really looking forward to our meal. I checked with the pub at least 3 times, ensuring our booking was secured. Today we turned up only to find our table had been given to someone else! When shown the booking form our details had deliberately been altered. The pub was empty. The ladies who took our table could have been offered multiple options. Disgusting!!!! In response to Manager: Edmund, my daughter and I have met you many times and you have always been welcoming. Just to confirm my original post. •I did state the 23rd. •If you were present in the pub at the time, we certainly did not see you. •At no time were we ever told the booking may be moved to another table. As I mentioned I checked our details were correct more than once. Never was this mentioned. •As the pub was empty excluding a table of 8 who arrived just before us and the two old ladies who had been given our booking, the pub was completely empty. As such I do not see any justification for changing our booking. Thank you for the offer of a drink, however I’m not sure when we will return.

Roast Dinner really didn’t live up to our expectations. Auntie Bessie roast potatoes would have been 100% more acceptable than what we were served. Also, the tablespoon of gravy and the flat, hard Yorkshire pudding was terrible. This was rectified by the waiting staff after our complaint. In a good note we did visit the Windmill in June and had the roast dinner which was perfect. Such a shame the visit this weekend was such a disappointment.

Lovely warm atmosphere when entering with plenty of light. Luncheon menu is not a large one but varied. Two dishes ordered, one small fish and chips ( dont know how big a large one was), perfect light batter with great chips. one chicken and choritso pasta dish, very good and plentiful. Both dishes well cooked, hot and nicely presented. Good lunchtime. Put garlic bread as an extra for the pasta.

After a lovely canal walk we had lunch at the Windmill. The vibe was warm welcoming tradional pub but bright and fresh - just what we were after. It had a designated doggy dining area which we prefer, we had two with us. There was a help yourself treats station! Water bowls were offered on arrival. The pies were fantastic, out of this world! The bubble and squeak starter and chicken liver parfait very good too. Only reason 4 not 5 stars is one of our group thought the peri peri chicken burger could do with a bit more peri peri but that is personal preference, but I have to stay the cheese pie I had was next level! Staff were so helpful and naturally friendly. And a good amount of parking. It was a glorious day so we did have to wait a couple of mins for a free space but nothing crazy. We are not local, we came for a sunny canal walk with friends and have decided we will definitely return here again! Expectations should be good British village pub with excellent pub grub, thats super dog friendly - perfect for walkers all around.

Just returned from another visit to our favourite pub. Nestled in the beautiful village of Parbold, a walk in autumn, with our dog along the canal at the back, was stunning. We worked up an appetite for our dinner and we were not disappointed. The food, as always was tremendous, my sixteen year old son still rates the steak as his most favourite steak ever over the years and it’s always cooked to perfection for him. I had the lamb Henry and it was amazing. We are always greeted by Gill, Ed and the team with the warmest of welcomes, our dog too is always made to feel welcome. If you have not tried here yet, please do, you will not be disappointed. Thank you again to the team at The Windmill.

Opted to eat here on a Saturday night and booked a table in person when it was quiet. A villager advised us this was the slightly posher pub in the village. Arrived to find a very busy bar with a good local atmosphere and a restaurant area The meals we ordered were good although served very quickly, perhaps to avoid us being delayed by the very large party next to us.. For a Saturday evening we were in and out within 45 minutes and didn't feel the atmosphere inviting to stay for a second drink. We did return on Sunday evening when it was much quieter for a quiet pint.
