This pub is under new management, and all I have to say is WOW! There is a fantastic range of drinks, all at very reasonable prices. The food is second to none, the best chicken wings I have ever eaten, just don’t underestimate the strength of the Caroline reaper sauce. There is now regular entertainment, which includes Karaoke, discos and live bands, with plenty of room for dancing. The new managers are extremely friendly, give a very warm welcome, and have created a great hub for the village, where you can relax and enjoy yourself. Oh, it’s dog friendly too.

Great food, lovely atmosphere. Excellent staff who are always very welcoming. Comfortable environment, felt at home.

Great village pub with a modern interior (since its refurb last year), friendly and knowledgable staff and a good range of food and drinks! The food is good quality pub food at good prices, often with good offers and deals on! There are often really good deals on for drinks as well!

Decided to give it a go since it’s been recently refurbished. Looks lovely on the outside and inside. However the food was really awful. We sent one dish back because the first piece I picked up was cold on the inside. The manager came out and said ‘you do realise this isn’t real chicken don’t you’. As if it excused the fact it wasn’t cooked. I told him yes, I’m vegetarian and cook the same product at home. The other meals weren’t much better, either overcooked, undercooked and all of it was bland. When the table eventually got cleared they didn’t ask how the food was, probably because they could see we hadn’t really touched it. We did tell them it was poor though and didn’t get much of a response. Got the bill but nothing was taken off including the meal I sent back. Spoke to the manager again, he was very rude and dismissive, their wasn’t an apology and he kept interrupting my grandad when he was trying to speak. Only positive of the whole experience was that the food did eventually get taken off the bill.

We had a really lovely meal at the Windmill. My husband had the steak which was perfectly cooked and I had the steak and ale pie - nice crisp pastry and well filled with really fresh peas and beans, mash and gravy. The staff were very welcoming and the atmosphere was family friendly.
