The Windmill in Havering

We had a lovely time at the windmill. Came across it getting off the tube and stayed all evening! The bar staff were hilarious and looked after us all evening. Next time we’re in Upminster we’ll come back to say hi!

Great quite night friendly staff and great food will definitely be back soon

Great Food, Great Staff, Great Atmosphere. All in all a brilliant friendly local which does what it says on the tin. We will keep coming back. Thank You

Book a table for Friday night, when we arrived it was full. Ask asked the bar about our table and was told "were to busy for that just find a table. Only table left was full of pots and glasses so cleard it our self. Messed order up, asked to replace chips with saled that didn't happen. Neither steak was cooked as we asked and both steaks were very fatty and full of grille. No serviettes on table no salt. Won't be going back

Had a meal with four people on Saturday - the steak meals that we all had were absolutely fine , but the service is achingly slow. The good weather and the weekend seemed to overwhelm the two bar staff - who did their best, but were woefully inadequate to deal with the customers waiting to order. A real shame.

Booked a table for Friday as we thought it may be busy, on arrival was just to find a table. Only table available was full of pots and glasses which we cleared ours. Order 2 steaks and asked to replace chips with salad which they didn't. When we told them we were told oh they probably didn't hear you. Neither steaks was cooked as we asked and both were full ofgristle Couple on next table had a dog. Didn't bother staying for dessert

Went here for drinks on a Monday evening. Was very quite but that's to be expected for the time we visited. Been here several times before with a great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Nice little pub. Friendly staff. They often do a quiz there, which isn't bad at all. Car park could do with some work. Better lay out

Great time at the windmill. Came in with some friends for food and drinks and was served by some great bar staff. Recommend us to get some sharing plates which were great picky bits whilst drinking our wine. Great atmosphere and tasty food! will be coming back for the next girls night out!!!

A small group of us visited for dinner and drinks after watching the football and to watch the rugby. The pub was quite busy but we were greeted with a welcoming smile from a friendly barmaid named sophie. After ordering our food and drinks we sat down to watch the rugby and noticed there would be a band performing afterwards. After 10 minutes the food arrived served by a guy I assume was the chef who was very knowledgeable and my mixed grill was cooked to perfection. The other guys I was with had the burgers of the month which again were amazing. I would definitely recommend coming here for food and drinks and am looking forward to my next visit. Thanks for looking after us Sophie and Scott.

Had fab lunch with friends. Their katsu curry smelt and tasted divine. My wrap was great. Keep up the good work

Really good choice of food with deals on mains and small snack plates. Staff are always friendly and cheerful. Big range of draught beers and 2 well kept cask ales. Also lots of choice with wines and spirits especially gins. It always feels comfy and welcoming in this pub hence we come here a lot.

Amazing pub always very welcoming food was lovely. Looking forward to returning. Thanks again 👍

We have been coming here now for over 10 years and it's our favourite little pub. We love everything about it

Great pub to visit. Food was amazing, so compliments to the kitchen team. Superb service from Paul, Caitlin and Nick. Lovely relaxed atmosphere will definitely be back here!

My wife and I visited The Windmill on a Wednesday night and decided to have a meal following perusal of the menu. Great selection, prompt service, delightful meal and excellent value. Thank you to all involved.

My family and I went for lunch at the Windmill today and we couldn’t fault it! I’m not one to write reviews but I had to after several good experiences here recently. It was busy yet we were still made to feel welcome, food was delicious and there was a great atmosphere. We were so well looked after and service was quick and professional. Food was delicious, particularly the Katsu Curry (see photo). Wonderful mix of people and my four year old was welcomed and given colouring and special menu which he loved. We are definitely regularly now!!

Absolutely superb. Nice friendly staff and very cosy.

Came today for a roast dinner, had the turkey which was just amazing! everything was cooked to perfection i will definitely be back

I went to the quiz night last tuesday and had such a lovely time! the quiz master Olly was super energetic and funny, and the atmosphere was very bubbly. I will definitely be back this week for the quiz again

Really good choice on the menu with some tapas style plates if you don't want a full meal. Kids choice is good as well and the man behind the bar gave my grandson some crayons which he was thrilled about. Seems really clean and the toilets both male and female were spotless. Will definitely recommend and will definitely be back.

Staff was great and friendly we arrived about one hour early but was not a problem we had two meals and beer and tried the nonalcoholic new drinks

Myself and the girls from work come to the pub on our office days. The food is really good, the service is exceptional - Nick is so polite and friendly.

We were booked in for Christmas lunch. My first experience of having Xmas lunch out and I wasn't disappointed. Food was yummy, service was excellent and the staff and atmosphere were amazing. Def recommended this pub. Thanks to everyone

Had a lovely lunch and the staff was friendly and helpful

Came to the Windmill with my family for some lunch and it was a pleasant visit. The food, drinks and service were top tier and couldn't have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend this establishment to others.

Great little pub run by a special team. I came here with older relatives who are very picky eaters. I had the katsu curry which comes with rice and chips. The had the scampi and fish and chips from the lunch menu. Nothing was too much for the staff who went above and beyond for us. The pub is very festively decorated and warm and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and will be back in the new year.

Had a lovely Christmas dinner here with my family. Great pub with a fabulous atmosphere. Service was outstanding and the food was out of this world ! Compliments to the Chef ! We can’t wait to come back ! 10/10

We attended a few weeks before Christmas for the first time after living in the area for a few years and I don’t know why we haven’t come sooner. Great pub, great atmosphere, great service and great food. We chose this pub to be our Christmas Eve drinks out and what a night. Thank you to all the team there at The Windmill Upminster

We had a lovely family dinner at The Windmill pub. The starters were delicious, especially the crispy calamari. I enjoyed a hearty steak and ale pie, while my partner loved the fantastic burger. Our little one had a nutritious kids’ meal. Paul, the manager, was great, making our experience even better—especially with the warm chocolate brownie dessert to top it off!

A lovely pub. Staff were lovely and helpful.

Great service and friendly staff

I had a great time friendly staff and management was nice. also a great atmosphere and good back ground music making it a good experience.

The bar was super busy on Saturday and there was a rock band on which wouldn’t usually be our cup of tea but it was such a fun evening. The bar was extremely busy at times but the service remained efficient and the tables were being cleaned when possible.

Amazing roast dinner and a reasonable price too. Great service and friendly staff make it a lovely atmosphere. Will be back

Great atmosphere and efficient service. Little to no wait for our drinks. Have been coming here a lot and it’s really improved of late.

Great place with great atmosphere and always polite service! Highly recommend

the buffalo fries are delectable. Served by a very nice and polite young man with black hair.

Brilliant pub, always served with a smile.we often have the little plates which are really good with drinks.

Really good food and friendly staff,burgers are really tasty and good value. They do a quiz on Tuesdays which is good fun

Nice little pub. Only had drinks, but pleasant enough

Friendly, welcoming with a really good selection of beers, importantly, fruit ciders and many different spirits. The katsu curry is the best anywhere and to top it all off there is a heated garden. Will definitely recommend and will definitely be back.

Nice pub in an accessible location as underground nearby. Staff friendly and food available if required.

Lovely pub! Great atmosphere, served by Paul, what a hilarious guy! Thanks Paul, we will be back.

Super fun night with karaoke and meeting new people!

Lovely food and top notch service! Caitlin was brilliant, well looked after!

We popped in for a drink and something to eat, we bought the sharers meals so we could have a selection of different to foods. The food was great and the service was nice and friendly and quiet quick

Beer garden is lovely, food is great and staff are attentive. Pub seems cleaner and has a great atmosphere!

Lovely crispy fish and chips, Kirsty was lovely and chatty, and other staff were also very accommodating. All this and good value.

Service with a smile Thank you Kirsty Katsu curry was delicious!

Haven’t been here for a while. Quiet Monday afternoon thought we’d pop in for something to eat. What has happened to this place?! Service was slow. - waited about 30 minutes for our food. 2 tables had dirty plates etc on and nobody cleared them while we were there. They weren’t busy so no excuse. Red wine was awful - possibly watered down or the absolute cheapest they could buy. Glasses and cutlery were stained/dirty. Not cheap either! Definitely won’t be returning.

My son and I came for lunch as a treat for completing his first day at school. My son had the ‘make your own tacos’ which were delicious and a lot of fun for him to construct himself. I had the bacon and blue burger which was great, flame grilled taste and good portion sizes. We enjoyed eating outside in the sun and staff were super friendly and helpful.

Beautiful lunch friendly atmosphere we will be back to sample the rest of the rest of you atmosphere and brilliant menu .

Nick is a star , he made my time at the windmill unreal we have had the best night #nick4life

Come here often for a Sunday lunch. Always good value for money. Ordered roast beef but didn’t have horseradish so nick & Paul nipped to the shop to get us some. Definitely above & beyond. Fabulous.

Only passing by Monday 26/08/2024 and stopped for a beer. Sat outside. Many uncleared tables out and in after probably a busy BH lunch service but no excuse not to have enough staff on duty to deal with it. A branch of Greene King. Not impressed.

The young lady who served me was very nice and polite. I ordered a portion of chips and was served with a very bowl of chips, but was given no condiments, cutlery or paper tissues to wipe my hands . It could be a good pub, but doesn't get my vote.

Absolutely love this pub. But I was here on Wednesday 21st of August and the old man behind the bar was extremely rude and refusing to order us our food especially when the pub was quiet. Shame to see it ruin the pub we grew to love.

Great food for family and good value. Paul and Micki were very helpful and friendly.

Nice pub but it would be even better if staff would kindly ask very noisy customers to respect the weekly quiz night. Seldom see any managers on Tuesday evening which might improve this.

The food here was very nice. Large portions and reasonably priced. The reason I gave it four stars was because we waited for fifty minutes for the food. It was busy but not that busy to wait so long. The staff were lovely , they just needed another pair of hands and it would have been okay.

Decent food and very good service

Massive choice of beers and ciders which is good news, I had the duo roast which is beef and turkey, really was very good. Will come back in the week for a burger as they looked really good. Staff super friendly and landlord was very good to talk to.

I came here with some friends who live near by and have always said it’s a lovely local pub, and i can say it definitely is! i had the hot honey chicken burger which was recommended by staff on their new menu and it was absolutely amazing. drinks were reasonably priced with a fizz friday deal, will definitely be returning soon!

We visited the windmill as a family on a Sunday. We ordered an adult and child’s roast and the burger. All the food was really delicious and reasonably priced. My 4 year old son loved his kids roast and enjoyed the colouring on offer. The service was outstanding, Paul and the team really looked after us. Will be visiting again.

Place used to be a dive but since the new guy has come in, it’s really turned around. Much cleaner and well run. Kudos.

Had my dads wake here and the bar staff were lovely. They gave us the area at back which had its own private courtyard garden. Food was amazing and homemade. Lovely portion cuts on quiche. Lovely wraps chips. Everyone went back for seconds.

Had a great evening at The Windmill. Food was good and plenty of choice for drinks.

What a lovely pub. It was my first time and for sure not the last. Great service. Couldn't ask for more

Lovely pub with really good food and service, staff were all really friendly and helpful. Will definitely recommend and will definitely be back soon 😊

Nice pub it's a shame the new manager is so miserable 🤥

Always have a great time in the Windmill, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. It is always lovely to be welcomed by Tash who goes above and beyond for the customers. Highly recommend 🥳✨

Great service friendly staff especially Tash, always makes us feel welcome and goes above and beyond

Lovely pub. On a main road but fenced in garden so safe for kids. There is some parking, but you have to put your numberplate in at the bar. There is street parking available nearby, and Upminster bridge station is on the district line and literally over the road and under the bridge. Havent eaten in there for a while but when I did the food was yummy!

Insufficient bar staff. Barely 2 people serving on a Saturday eve

Had a lovely evening at the Windmill! Will definitely be returning.

lovely atmosphere and great service , especially from the bartender Caitlin who served me , who was incredibly nice and helpful with my queries.

Great food and good service from Caitlin, with a nice friendly atmosphere, definitely would recommend the pub

The food was really nice. However, they were short staffed. They didn't know there was an event going on near them and they would have a larger volume of customers. Ordered online. Luckily they picked up the ticket and waited about 20-30mins for our food and drink. Suggestion that the communicate with business/colleges in the area to see what's on and staff accordingly

We went to the Windmill pub to watch the England football game on Saturday. The pub was busy and had a lovely atmosphere, the staff were working hard but all very friendly. We had already eaten, but the food being served looks delicious. It was a really nice afternoon/evening and we'll definitely be back again soon.

Allways a great service from the staff especially catlin 👌

Amazing pub with brilliant staff and food,Paul the new GM is good fun and good to talk too. Great vibes at the england game tonight

Ordered & paid for food to be told they weren't doing meals,? Absolute shambles when every table had menus plus meal deal offers inside & out. There are plenty of other pubs that do sell food so not too upset not to be visiting the Windmill Pub in the future

Visited for our first quiz night and it was a brilliant experience. The quiz master was great and comical. The bar staff were brilliant considering the amount of people who were in attendance. Cant wait for the next quiz night

Enjoyed the dog-friendly pub garden, perfect for relaxing with my pup. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

Lovely setting, lovely staff and lovely food, will definitely recommend and will definitely be back. Outside garden is huge and there is a secret garden with heaters!!

I have been coming here for years, a lovely local pub, especially when Caitlin and Natasha is working who is always helpful and kind

Very friendly staff and atmosphere, Tash was extremely helpful explaining menu items.

Meet here regularly with my friend. It’s always very welcoming , Kirsty particularly is always attentive and great at what she does. A credit to the pub . The food is always good pub fare , the macaroni cheese particularly is very good . Clean throughout with comfortable seating . Only gave 4 star instead of 5 due to plastic glasses being used due to euro football . On a Wednesday lunchtime with family and more senior customers dining it seemed a bit unnecessary!

Because they choose to put the Football on, no sound, just Subtitles, we are now subjected to Horrible plastic Glasses, all day long. Apparently down to its License, which is based on events that happened nearly 20 years ago. Sort it out Greene King, you have been running this pub into the ground for years now.

The Bar Staff were really nice. If you’re thinking of going here for food I wouldn’t bother as it took 1 hour and 9 minutes to come out and a few people asked why it’s taking so long, there was only around 15 people in the pub and not all were eating. When the food finally came out it looked nice but all tasteless. The bill was £47 pound and was not worth it.

Had a fantastic lunch at The Windmill in Upminster. The food was delicious and the service we received from Kirsty was second to none. Look forward to returning again soon.

Had a great time here, good food in good company, and the team were so friendly too!

I was served by seb and he was delightful behind the bar, I enjoyed a cheese and bacon burger which was cooked to perfection with fresh crispy onions, paired with the sea salted fries it was a wonderful experience, would defo come again and would recommend to anybody wanting to visit

Nice relaxed atmosphere for Sunday lunch. Pie is great and staff friendly with good service. Food service a little bit slow, but wasn’t a problem for us!

Went for a meal with my Dad and had a lovely time. The Manger (Seb) help us pick out a new burger, which I must say is 10/10 everything was well cooked the pub had a sence of family. My Dad enjoyed the cider Inches so he had 2 of them and I had a Coca-Cola with a lemon that you again Seb

Ordered food at 13:10. Did not get it till 14:05 so was late coming back from lunch. It was not even that busy so the reason for the slowness is difficult to understand.

Lovely pub, quick service especially from caitlin

Lovely local pub, served by Lilly and Caitlin majority of the night who were amazing

Caitlin has a heart of gold she serves with pride 🍻
