The Windmill in Huntingdonshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Our family had an excellent Sunday lunch. Good portions and well cooked. Some of our party opted for lamb or beef which they enjoyed but I had wanted the chicken which unfortunately wasn't available that day, so opted for the nut roast instead which was very good. Good Yorkshire pudding was well cooked and nice to see the sage and onion stuffing ball was actually sage and onion, without minced pork being added, which a lot of other restaurants do, and I personally dislike. I wish those that do add it would state so on the menu without customers having to check.

Today we celebrated my daughters christening and mine and my husbands vow renewal. The service from the windmill has been outstanding. They have accommodated us with every request. The manager stayed open late last night so we could decorate ready for the day, they have dealt with changes of guest, menu choices, every query we have had has been answered quickly. The food was excellent and I am always blown away with the incredibly reasonable cost of the set menu. I could not have asked for better service. The staff are fantastic and Ella the manager is a pleasure, keeping things running smoothly in such a wonderful environment. Thank you for giving us such a special afternoon. I could not recommend the Windmill more! X

Saturday lunch set menu very good and reasonable

I have neen to The Windmill on several occasions.... Food is always lovely and very good value. Great atmosphere and lovely service. No complaints at all.... Will be returning 👍😊

Wonderful food, friendly service, lovely warm atmosphere. Can definitely recommend. We ate off the a la carte menu (starters and mains) and every dish was beautifully presented and very tasty.

Fantastic food great for the birthday meal

Went to the Windmill for a birthday meal. The table was eloquently decorated and there was a bottle of water and glasses to enjoy whilst awaiting for the rest of the guests to arrive. On the table there was only a set menu and a specials board however, we asked for the a la carte menu which they gave us and had similar variety to the set menu. They had a childrens menu which was very reasonably priced. We started off with some artizan bread and olives, the bread was fresh and very flavoursome served with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Was a generous portion and meant for sharing. The food was delightful, the pie of thenweek was steak and Ale and it was filled, the pastry was perfectly cooked and the mash was a chive mash which tasted exquisite and was very smooth. My wife had the Rib-eye steak which came perfectly cooked and was very succulent. Desserts were a good end to the meal. Will happily return there again and although a little pricey, for a nice homely family eat out, it is perfect. Thank you so much. S

Booked for a family birthday lunch at 1.15 The person who actually made the booking was told that we needed to order quickly as they closed at 3.00. I think that an hour and three quarters is not a time to be rushed. I ordered a starter of chicken pate, which when it turned up, I was unsure quite what it was. It was served with some ciabatta bread and an onion chutney.....and no butter. I followed with a chicken and bacon Caesar Salad. Okay, pretty hard to mess up, but it was nothing to dance about. The cheesecake that followed was probably the best part of the meal. That was not saying too much. The pub has many signs outside that advertise it as part of the Greene King chain. My AA app gives a 15% discount at Greene King. When I asked about it, I was told that they don't give discounts. I felt like I was being looked down upon. When I said all Greene King pubs honour the discount, I was told that they were no longer a Greene King house. Well take the signs down then! They miss-lead people! I look for Greene King houses and it is part of why I stay with the AA. All in all, not impressed. I would not visit again, and I feel that they would not want my kind of riff-raff!

We love to visit the windmill for a good catch up with family or friends, the menu nether lets us down and the staff are always the best ever, 10/10 every time we come, today was my wife’s birthday and we were extremely well looked after, we feel that we are valued guest and welcomed in ❤️🙏

A wonderful Saturday lunchtime meal. The set menu is excellent value for money. Thank you to the lovely staff, Ella Katie and Mia. We shall return.

Fabulous food and efficient and friendly service for Sunday lunch. Great menu with specials and good temperature beer! Lovely setting and spotless. Never disappointed coming here, well done Team Windmill

First time here and definitely wont be the last. Looking forward to our next visit.

Exceptional service from the moment we arrived. Ella, Katie and the team were so welcoming and attentive. Drinks served quickly and our order taken swiftly despite them being so busy. We all chose from the set menu - great portions, food piping hot and delicious. Such great value with a brilliant wine list for us ladies and the men were happy with their pints of Camden. Overall a wonderful experience from start to finish - highly recommend. Hats off to the chefs also!

First visit will definitely be back again food was excellent and service was good .busy for a Saturday lunch time

Not a huge menu but well done and not too expensive.

What a brill place to go every part is so professional

All round a delight. Great food. Beautifully presented. Good wine. Good vibe. We liked it so much we bought vouchers for family for them to have a meal there. We loved it. !

Amazing service - thanks Karen and Wendy. Menu choice good for lunch - 2 set menu. Beer and wine very good. Strongly recommend for lunch.

Great food at a reasonable price

A very nice, comfy pub. Lovely food, good friendly service at reasonable prices. Would definitely return + recommend!

Went recently for anniversary meal. Foods always been consistently nice. If it was cheaper I'd visit more regularly but you get what you pay for I guess. Staff are always friendly, noone came to ask "how is everything" mid mouthful so I liked that. Nice selection of beers but definitely dislike the proximity to £6 per pint. Would definitely visit again.

Very nice Sunday lunch for my wife's 40th birthday & they even gave her a little brownie with a candle on! Food is nice & staff are super friendly, what's not to like....

Lovely waitress called Ella made our experience fantastic for our first visit Recommend homemade burger and fish cake .

When here for my Mother-in-laws 70th birthday party While the food was OK the portion sizes were a little small Plus the orders have been checked double checked several times in advance Email Sophie my mother-in-law and the pub to check everything who was having what I ordered lamb and ended up with chicken due to the facts that they hadn't cooked enough lamb had done too much chicken OK the waitress did offer to cook another lamb however I wanted to eat Ruth the rest of the famplease so I just had to check it OK the waitress did offer to cook another lamb however I wanted to eat Ruth the rest of the family so I just had the chicken scewer Nowhere near enough chips Very Alicart tast nice but not enough I got home and had to have a ham sandwich despite having 3 courses i ordered the fairground attraction dessert Yeah which on the menu says it's a sharing dessert well that is if you only want one spoonfulbecause there is nowhere near enough to be a sharing dessert A small candy floss topper a tiny scoop full of ice cream and is really rather nice jelly and fruit combot underneath This review is true as I how I feel

I Went for a birthday lunch today. Every meal was outstanding. This is such a gem of a place food, service, price, decor and atmosphere was all 10/10 ....would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning.....

Cekebrated a family birthday 19 of us all chose different meals & everyone enjoyed it. Great food happy diners Good service.

Great pub. Beautiful gardens.Nice selection of beers and ales.Highly recommended 👍

Lovely place, friendly staff and excellent food at best value on the Set Menu. Only negative is they are not dog friendly, apart from one separate room which has one table in it for 8 people.

food amazing and staff are great one of my favourites

Expensive for dinner but would highly recommend going for lunch. 2 courses 16 pounds and the food is outstanding quality with generous portions. Staff are always very lovely and accommodating to our family with young children.

Anniversary celebrations. Wonderful atmosphere. Brilliant service and the menu had great choices. Also, excellent value for money. We would certainly visit again and recommend it to anyone 👍

Dinned here as a family of 8, 3 children, 2 parents and grandparents (Gluten free and fussy eaters). The food, service and atmosphere was impeccable. Food arrived fast, drinks were flowing, and friendly service. Portions were great and very reasonably priced. Would go back and recommend.

Good food and friendly staff. Great location a little pricey but worth it.

Lovely atmosphere and food. Accommodated us at short notice and gave us plenty of table space for a business meeting. Service good, and food arrived in a timely manner. Been before and will come again :)

Very good service and lovely food

Came here after working locally and stumbled across a gem! Waitresses where fantastic and helped me decide my pick. I went for the Mixed Grill (I was hungry!) And was not disappointed. Can't find fault with any part of the meal or the service. Fantastic.

We went for father's day and kept adding more members which was accommodated so graciously by the staff. Great food and atmosphere. Special thanks to Karen and members of the front of house

The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great food, great atmosphere. We went on a hot evening so the air conditioning was a welcome surprise.

Great place good food and friendly staff.

Amazing food and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend

Loved it. A quaint pub with good food and service. It's gorgeous xxx

Good menu, food well cooked and presented. Very pleasant staff.

Everything is so tasty, food was delicious,especially the duck! Staff was friendly and good looking too. Men toilet could have been cleaner, but minor issue i would say to all the nice food that we received:) coming back for sure next time.

Visited last week for a meal with family, the food was delicious, the staff are lovely always freindly and welcoming.

Wonderful restaurant good food and service

Very nice food and good atmosphere.

We visited for lunch, food was nice, and reasonably priced. Service friendly and helpful.

This is one of my favourite places, cosy and comfortable decor. Service was quick, the staff were friendly. Starters and main course were delicious, we both felt the desserts had room for improvement.

Comfortable. Warm.good service. Nice friendly staff.

Very good lunch that was tasty and just the correct amount. Sat in the conservatory area which was warm and bright on a cold winter's day. Younger waitress very knowledgeable and cheerful, older waitress never smiled and made you feel like you were an inconvenience. But overall I would definitely visit again.

Great food and nice homely atmosphere plus nice beer 😊👍

Good food and atmosphere.a group of us had a small room to ourselves.we could alter the level of heat to suit ourselves.a big thing for me.

Great start to Christmas. Meal was superb.

Lovely atmosphere, great service, food was excellent, You wont be rushed and dont rush well worth the wait.Its not fast food it is excellent country fare establishment. Totally recommend the windmill..

Beautiful restaurant, but the staff was not overly friendly. Food was ok, some of it very good, other bits not great.

It's ok. Mushrooms on toast were luke warm, meatballs were tough, staff was efficient but not welcoming or friendly (over worked?).

Very good all around,staff especially.

Happy to look after us and managed to squeeze us in even tho it was super busy

Always great food, friendly staff!

Great food, service attention just right, definitely will be back 😀 👌

Great food and service. Menu is varied, highly recommend a visit. Will be back.

Lovely place, good food, staff very friendly and attentive, no complaints

The venue is lovely. Food is still good but not as good as before. The set menu is great value.

Amazing food, well presented and very good value for money. 2 course meal for £15. Staff were super friendly, we will definitely be going back

Came with my family who have just moved to Somersham. Excellent value great food and pleasant staff. I think my son and family have already visited several times.

Good but a bit pricey imo - £4 for bread!!! The reduced menu gives cheaper options and it’s a good idea. The food is well cooked and the service and ambience is excellent.

Service was good and the staff friendly. I think my meal (pie of the day) had been left too long under the heat lamps under the pass. The pie crust was rock hard, the mashed potato was forming a crust and the vegetables barely warm, although the gravy warmed them up a bit. Having said that the pie filling was excellent. My wife's salad was good though. Disappointing even given the low price of the lunch menu.

Brilliant food and beautiful pub! Will definitely return soon!

Been there many times food very nice but always feel u are rushed to go after meal waitresses start cleaning tables around u and keep looking at u.Very uncomfortable!!!!.

Nice food. Good service. Should go here more often really!

Lovely food and good choices on the menu very well presented and great service

Updated below - Great food reasonably priced, £18 for 3 courses of the set menu. Fast, friendly service and ample covid precautions in place. Update 14/7/22. Dropped from a 5 to a 2, worst level of customer service I have ever experienced at the windmill, very dismissive and kurt communication from our waitress. When one of our party pointed out a problem with their bread brie (there was no brie in 1 or the 3) the only response was "you can't tell until it's cut open", not the apology we expected. If it wasn't a special birthday meal which we didn't want to spoil we would have made an issue of this. Come the Windmill review your customer service as we know you can do better than this !!

Waited the whole evening for water. Sons steak hadn’t been rested and when he said it wasn’t nice and hadn’t been rested the staff just ignored him. Tried on several occasions to give it another try the last time being today when we were informed they’d finished lunch service at 1.30 pm - THE WEBSITE SAYS LUNCH IS 12-3! Poorly managed restaurant, and no idea of customer service.

Had a wonderful meal here on Friday! The restaurant was very busy and loud but the lovely waitress thoughtfully moved my partner and I to a quieter table. She was ace! Food was delicious, tasty and plentiful 😊 Cider was fizzy and cold. Excellent value too.

Fantastic food definitely be going back there

Large pub, delicious food. Good service- Thank you Windmill for lovely evening.

Great food, pleasant staff. Set menu good value. Comfortable seating.

Excellent food, excellent service, great value. Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at The Windmill.

Very nice, excellent quality food and good service, will definitely be back 👍

Fantastic food, very reasonably priced. Delivered by friendly & attentive staff.

Lovely gastro pub. Decor, staff and the new menu are all great. Well worth a visit. Top marks.

Delicious food, great atmosphere, all staff helpful and friendly. What more could you ask for. Thank you The Windmill

Food was delicious and generous portions. Staff were friendly and attentive and service was remarkably quick.

Enjoyed a nice lunch here today. Very pleasant. Food was good as was the service.

Great food, with a reasonably priced set menu.

We will never eat there again due to their totally unreasonable behaviour with regard to a Mother’s Day booking my son made for 4 of us. He was asked to pay a £40 booking fee which he did. He came home from work unwell later in the week and tested positive for covid a couple of days later. I rang the Windmill to cancel the booking as we had all been in contact with him and I was told he would have to lose his deposit as the food had now been ordered !! I then asked if he could be given a voucher to come when he was well and the person I was speaking to consulted with the owners and they said no sorry it is non refundable. This is the worst customer service I have ever encountered when we didn’t choose for him to be unwell and did what we considered to be the right thing, and it is only Thursday and they have 3 more days to give that booking to away. I have only rated them one star because I cannot give a review if I don’t give a rating I would choose otherwise to give them a resounding minus for communication and being the most unhelpful licensee ever. I must add that they have since had a change of heart and issue my son with a credit note

Lovely meal great service thankyou so much very happy

Lovley lunchtime stop good food and service pleasant atmosphere.

Lovely Valentine's Day/birthday lunch, great food, unhurried enjoyable atmosphere

I have been to the windmill many times, but not for a while. The last time I said never again. On a recent visit we walked in at 1420 and when I asked if we could order a drink, instead of being welcoming we were met with ‘we are, but we close at 3’. No smiles, no niceties and almost the hump because they were getting service 40 minutes before they closed. During the time we were there, the 2 staff members were clearing around us (and turned the lights off in one area) as well as talking loudly about bookings etc. It made a really poor atmosphere. At 1440 I then heard them discussing whether a table had left yet, to which one said to the other to just clean around them, I assume in an attempt to hurry people out. That is the last time I give the place a second chance. It has got no better over the years. So disappointing. Would not recommend.

Great meal, good friendly service. Definitely recommend.

Lovely meal very good service couldn't fault it

Excellent food and excellent service, Will definitely eat there again.

Excellent food and service. Would recommend

Food is superb and Karen a great waitress.

Lovely atmosphere, food was lush and not overpriced and team were friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic food and the service was very attentive, we are all looking forward to going back real soon 😀

A good lunchtime menu and good service.

Delicious food and excellent staff
