The Windmill by Richard Phillips in Maidstone

Really happy with this choice in Maidstone. Quaint pub feel with upscale menu and wonderful bar and service. Fireplace; lots of ambience. Thanks for your very good service. Oh! Want surf and turf? Order in advance if you can for Thermidor Thursdays! It worked out for us which we were happy about. The menu can change and they explain that on their website. They also serve local winery; Balfour Wines, which were lovely (try a flight!). Husband was very happy with his Guinness. Great local spot.

We came in late but got a warm welcome and nice food and beverages! So perfect lunch . We got nice sandwiches but also warm dish for’our son and a very good cheese burger for our daughter.

My wife and i had Sunday Lunch today. The staff were welcoming and friendly. However the food was not what I had expected. My wife's starter, whitebait, was acceptable but mine, scallops, was miniscule. The two miniature scallops the size of my thumbnail were overcooked and served with burnt bacon at the inflated price of £14. My wife's main, monkfish was acceptable but very pricy at £28. My lamb shoulder was overcooked, but the vegetables were OK. The portion of extra cauliflower cheese was very small. The dining experience as a whole was underwhelming and expensive. On this experience I will give any further visits to Balfour restaurants a miss.

We were gifted a voucher by our daughter and had not previously visited The Windmill, despite it being not too far away. The reviews we had seen were mixed but we had nothing to lose so wanted to try it for ourselves and comment accordingly. We were greeted warmly by a member of the team who showed us to our table and was our waiter for the duration of our visit. He was friendly and attentive without being intrusive and looked after us well. We considered the express menu, which offers very good value for money, but as this was a treat decided to go for options from the a la carte menu. We shared some plump queen olives and a portion of squid to start then both chose the monkfish with mushroom risotto as our main course. This was a great choice, beautifully presented, flavousome and satisfying. We managed to squeeze in a shared dessert of sticky toffee pudding with ice cream which again was delicious and just rounded the meal off on a sweet note. We liked the quirky surroundings and the overall experience was very pleasant. We will definitely be visiting again.

Wonderful country village pub, well appointed rooms, stunning food and wine, very warm welcome. Genuinely can’t complain, had a wonderful two night stay. On the Thursday night even when left short of staff Jack was pleasant, and efficient and attentive. Can’t wait to try the rest of the group

So disappointing. Was really looking forward to the meal here as previously had good experience. I normally cook for Easter and so this was a treat to go out . Started well with the calamari which was super fresh and hot . However after that it was honestly the worst roast I’ve ever had . The lamb was burnt as were the potatoes. Normally gravy is supplied on the side and you can add as you wish . This was not the case. It was covered in a really rich bitter jus .. it came out like that and everything was covered in it . There was a mouthful of shredded cabbage and an eighth of a carrot covered in the congealed jus . The menu had suggested cauliflower cheese with bacon which sounded lovely but alas it did not materialize. When we politely asked if it was coming, the waitress said no because it was extra although the menu clearly stated it was part of the roast. By This point, I still wanted to desperately believe that mine was just a bad one out of a good batch , but sadly everyone else’s roasts were also lacking. My young daughter, who normally eats anything also didn’t eat her meatballs, so I tried them, and they were just inedible.rock hard and tasteless . Sorely disappointed overall xx

Went to windmill on a weds and had the beef Wellington deal for two. It was absolutely delicious cooked to perfection and more than plenty for two , came with veggies and mash. Best meal . Great atmosphere in pub sat by open fire, love this place .

Really nice meal and service was really friendly and polite We all had starters and main course Good quality food The fish and chips was massive my wife had the venison which was like butter that melted like butter

Having lived in the surrounding area for a number of years and dined in most of the venues, we decided to go to the Windmill for the first time . Its reputation historically has been very good and I was expecting a fine dining experience, which was our fault for not checking . I was expecting an exciting menu , but really it was pretty average and limited. Whilst what was served was nice the portions were very small , three bites of the braised beef and it was gone as the rest was fat . Same applied to starters and desert . Service was fine and our waitress was very pleasant . All in all bit of a let down , we came away disappointed with the experience, which maybe to be fare we should have researched first rather that relying on previous recommendations

We came here with some close friends for a Sunday lunch, as we have been many times before and always had a lovely time. As usual the food was stunning, we always go for the roast dinners as they are delicious and a great price. We were served by very nice brunette lady and were having a lovely time for our friends birthday. However after our mains were cleared away we were told by, quite a rude gentlemen, that we needed to leave the table as the next sitting was here. We had not been informed that there was a time limit on our table and it seemed very abrupt that we were suddenly asked to leave. I queried this and said that we were keen to have desserts, to which I was told, by the rude gentleman again, that we couldn’t as we needed to vacate the table. We gathered that he was the manager and so asked for the bill, which was presented by the brunette lady, who did say that if we wanted desserts/coffees we could move to the bar area, which was very lovely of her, however our experience had already been soured by the manager so we chose to leave. It’s quite a shame as this was always our place of choice to bring our friends, however if this is the way the management is going then we certainly won’t be back anytime soon and will not recommend any of our friends to go here either!

We booked Winter break package including B&B and 3 course meal with fizzy flight. Room was lovely however noisy from pub downstairs and cleaner started mopping just after 7am following morning which felt too early with guests sleeping above in rooms we were in Leslie Reserve plus noise from traffic but i get this is an old pub. However, food was delicious 😋 we had the Thermidor Thursday definitely recommended and Phil our waiter really looked after us thank you! And guy at Breakfast was also very attentive! Only staff member we felt was slightly rude was brown haired lady think possibly the manager when I asked to take bottle of tap water to our room she said you already have some provided in room which we'd already drunk earlier! We were only asking for tap water!!!Apart from this small points we would return but not stay.

The cosy atmosphere with smell of the real fire is what captures you straight away. The food was amazing and the staff were all friendly and very attentive.

Visited here on Tuesday for some lunch, booked online but didn’t need to as was empty. Was seated at a table for two but one of the chairs wasn’t a chair was more like a sofa which is fine but then you have to sit on your coat which can be uncomfortable when eating. I have visited here on many occasions so know the menu and know the food is going to be good which it was. The pub was all christmassy in decorations but no music until we nearly left? Needs music for a bit of atmosphere. All round good pub lunch

Was looking forward to breakfast at the windmill but was disappointed to say the least the bacon was so burnt an dry it was like eating wood chips an I believe garlic on mushroom doesn’t belong on a full English was a shame as I had heard good things about the place

Excellent food and service. Quality of the food was outstanding (we had duck breast and plaice). Service was attentive but not pushy and the waitress was knowledgable about both the wines and food. Not cheap but reasonable for the quality and service (£130 + tip for two people two courses, a beer, glass of wine, excellent coffees and 2x tawny ports). Nice log fire, fairly crowded but not excessively noisy. Highly recommended.

Do not go here if you have any allergies, or are vegetarian or vegan. Was assured three times the vegan egg was vegan. Spent the weekend being sick, and now, 9 days later, I'm still waiting for them to call me back despite many assurances they will. Given the Government rules around allergens, this business obviously does not care.

We decided to try the windmill, we arrived and was put in the corner as there was two of us, it was by a closed window and all i could see was the fly's and cobwebs, i do feel that if anyone is sitting there then this could be cleaned, the Meal we both had was a roast and this was small portions, and was warm and a lot of gravy, i would have had a gravy Jug, we had to ask for another drink as we were waiting for over half hour for our Dinner and the they charged me for a pint and i only requested Half.

We visited for an early evening meal after this restaurant was recommended by some local people and we were not disappointed. The only trouble could have been that there was only one veggie meal. I chose this risotto (as the only choice!) and it was really lovely. My friend's lamb was amazing, she said. Then ... the peanut butter ice cream to die for. Attentive staff, pleasant surroundings. Not cheap but well worth it for a holiday meal.

I agree with the reviewer who thinks the brunette is in the wrong job; I think her name is Katherine - she is miserable, disinterested and she doesn’t hide it. Food ok, overpriced but not bad. It’s the staff who ruin it; the brunette either needs substantial training in customer service or to leave the industry altogether. It’s blatant that she hates customers; she made us feel most unwelcome.

Dropped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Good selection on their menu and low carb options without needing to order off piste. Not great that they missed a side off the order, but enjoyable and really good quality. Will come back.

My wife and I were really looking forward to our stay at The Windmill, on one of our frequent visits to my wife’s parents. The pub is a gorgeous Grade Two listed building, located in a lovely village. We stayed in room 1 (Leslie’s Reserve). The room including the toilet and shower was clean and had a comfy bed and quality linen. We loved the exposed beams in the bedroom and the clearly original flooring. The toilet seat handle was broken – if you’re claiming ‘boutique’ this should have been fixed. However, it doesn’t take much of a scratch below the surface to find multiple issues. Please take this feedback as constructive as if you check my reviews, it takes a lot to give a negative one. There is a sizable hygiene issue at The Windmill! Had I not paid upfront, I would have only paid a portion and let you chase me for any balance in the civil court! When we got to the room, the provided bottle of water was half full and the 2 glasses were dirty and clearly had been used. When we raised this, the replacement glasses had multiple fingerprints and still weren’t clean (see the photos). We bought our own bottled water. There was only one coffee cup. When we asked for a second one, the When I raised this, the lady who seemed to be in charged, questioned my provided mug clearly hadn’t been cleaned as there was coffee stains in it. The 2 teaspoons still had sticky remanent of coffee in the spoon. view, saying “one of the cups is clean”. I said if one cup and both spoons are dirty, I’m going to assume all of it is unclean! There was no soap in the bathroom for washing hands. When we asked about this, we were told by the lady with brunette hair and a sleeveless top, that they didn’t provide soap for the sink. Upon realising what she was saying, quickly corrected herself and blamed the supplier. Surely, if that was the truth, they could nip to a local shop for soap. It seems we had to wash our hands by stepping in the shower to use the shower gel that was bolted to the shower wall. And this is a ‘boutique’ hotel?? While having a drink in the bar, we overheard the staff slagging off customers at a table. Totally unprofessional. By the way, the lady behind the bar with braids was fantastic. We chose to eat dinner elsewhere after our check-in experience. That brings us to breakfast. The same young lady with brunette had and the same sleeveless top from the day before served breakfast. She is clearly in the wrong job! There was a total lack of engagement. There was no ask to check if our food was OK. Zero engagement. That lady is in the wrong job. She looked miserable and disenfranchised. My wife had poached eggs and the chef clearly can’t cook an egg! They were hard boiled, so my wife left them and effectively paid a full breakfast fee for a slice of dry toast and a coffee. We waited for the brunette lady with the sleeveless top to collect the plates, but this clearly wasn’t happening, so as we left, my wife fed back to the server, while she was near the kitchen, that she left the poached eggs as the yolks were solid. There was a faux apology and she cared so much that as we lingered, she didn’t feed this back to the chef. The chef should be ashamed for delivering poached eggs like that. The above issues are easily fixable. The pub needs strong leadership which the interim manager isn’t doing or doesn’t know how. During the evening, someone asked the interim manager if there was car park spaces out the back and he simply raised his arms and said, “I don’t know, I can’t see from here”. Totally unprofessional. This pub will not survive with the standing interim manager or some of the staff. You need to replace them, especially the brunette lady that wore the sleeveless top and the interim manager. They are damaging your business. We both really wanted to like The Windmill and make it our place to stay when visiting my wife’s parents, but we will not be back.

Newly created guest rooms. Delightful, comfortable and clean though design a little bit too "contemporary designer ". Food fantastic. Menu confident and well presented. Beef Wellington for 2 for £58…. What can’t be right about that? The hospitality team is A1. Would highly recommend but beware, it is a country pub and not the Ritz. Happy to stay there anytime.

This was a Birthday Dinner for my Wife and the Windmill Team came up trumps in all respects! The Ambience was just right. Quite busy for a Thursday evening. The wait staff were all lovely, friendly and yet professional. The food was perfect! We were there on the lobster Thursday and we both had Salmon as the starter and we both had the lobster as our main. Yum Yum. For desert, my Wife had the Sticky Toffee and I had the Peanut Parfait. All of which were simply delicious. Loved it. And we had a bottle of Balfour Rose 2018. Thankyou the Windmill team for making my Wife's Dinner just perfect.

Mussels dry and smelly. Paid £10 for a small bowl of melon with a bulsamic dressing. It tasted like regular vinegar with a few bits of feta. Roast lamb wasn’t sliced it was processed school dinner meat. Nut roast tasted like it had come out of a packet The puddings were ok but a lack of meringue in the Eton mess was laughable The bar staff were stressed and fed up. It makes me sad when staff aren’t valued or looked after We won’t be returning or recommending

Not impressed with the food. Double whammy as it was over priced. Expected better steak for £35 and the £30 halibut was also another dissappointment. Service was very poor. It started off good as the starter spicy squid was very good, but all went downhill after that. Table next to us had it worse. It took 25 mins before anyone came over to get their drinks order. No one asked if we wanted more drinks or if we wanted dessert. Experience ruined our Sat evening out.

Had an amazing lunch at The Windmill today. Went to celebrate my husbands birthday and had the Beef Wellington to share - was a special for the day and my husbands all time favourite meal. The service was excellent and food truly delicious. Would 100% recommend for a lovey pub visit and lunch/dinner

They now have rooms so we had stayed overnight. The room was lovely, spacious and comfortable with quality furniture, bed linen and a very good shower. The breakfast was very good.

With my wife for lunch, for starters I had the scallops and my wife had the baked Camembert. Both great but although delicious I would say that for £14 it would have been nice to have been served three scallops. The sauce overwhelmed the two that were served. The Seabass was amazing as was the accompanying tomato and butter bean ragu but I had to order a side dish of Nicola potatoes because the dish didn’t come with any and to be honest it did need a potato dish. My wife had the duck which looked amazing. We both plumped for the white chocolate cheesecake which tasted lovely but it had an unusual light and fluffy mousse like texture and not a more solid cheesecake texture. All in all very good but a couple of niggles.

We went for a meal with our 86 year old relative who is very infirm and has a throat problem, so can’t eat large amounts of food. He found something on the kids menu that would have been perfect, but when it came to ordering we were told that he would be charged double the price (£20) for a kids meal, as he was an adult! When we pointed out that he’d be eating the same amount of food as a child, we were told ‘that was the managers decision as it’s meant for kids’. So we ended up ordering a soup for £7, when the kids meal would have been £10. I pointed out that they would actually be taking less money from us because of their stupid decision to charge double, and was told again it was ‘the managers decision’ Based on observation it emerged that the manager was a guy-chewing female who was sat at one of the dining tables with a laptop whilst there were customers present. At no point did this individual make any effort to engage with us or explain her ridiculous decision. She left her staff to give us the bad news, who I actually felt sorry for as it clearly wasn’t their fault. The only interaction we had with the manager was when she deigned to clear some of our plates without saying a word and leant right over me to pick up the plate. No apology for her decision, no explanation, just silence. The other staff made a lot of effort and salvaged the situation from being a total disaster, but the manager clearly has no people skills, no regard for disabled/elderly customers and has no place working in the hospitality industry. We will never visit the Windmill or any Hush Heath establishment again following the disgraceful treatment of our elderly relative.

The quality of the food here is good but it lacks a generosity of quantity for the price. Admittedly, we had the "small plates" but maybe they should rename them "extremely small plates?" "Chickpea Chips" - like eating pleasant tasting light air, but with only...

Such a good Sunday lunch. We had the roast dinner and the duck, both were incredible! Great attentive service from lovely staff.

My friend and I visited for a spot of lunch, we were sat next to the large open fire which is always a favourite of mine to see when visiting pubs/restaurants. My friend had the fish and chips it was a large piece of fish...

Another excellent Express lunch (set menu) 3 courses. Sat by the open fire and enjoyed catching up with friends, so easy to get here just off the M20. Waitress was very efficient and friendly. We will be back soon.

Booked a table of 8 for Sunday lunch online for mums birthday. Called a few days later to confirm. No record of the booking on turning up. Really disappointing considering we’ve been coming here for years.

We visited this lovely pub as it was halfway distance between our friends and ourselves. The food was excellent and service second - to - none! Admittedly prices are above the usual pub food, but well worth it and you certainly get what you pay...

Really love this authentic old pub with fab fire. Food really pricey and small portions but very delicious, tasty and nice selection. Well presented Good service

We had the beef wellington. It was perfect. Amazing food! Really attentive staff, and very professional. We had a slight issue with the bill, mentioned it and it was sorted right away. Great wine selection. Highly recommend. We will be back with friends and family.

I was really disappointed. The starter was nice, but the main food was cold. The burger was cold. The cheese was not melted in it, the bacon was missing from the burger. The roast turkey was cold and dry. The steak like a shoes.

We arrived at just after 5pm on a Saturday and the pub was packed, a great sign in itself! We didn’t have starters but our mains (pork and fish) were absolutely delicious, couldn’t fault the food at all! The downside with this pub for us...

When we arrived I was sat next to the fire which was nice it was lovely and warm, I was greeted by a couple of lovely young lady’s. I was served a lovely scotch egg and for a main a great burger which I used...

Overpriced for poor Quality food. Several had the roast lamb and it was so salty one couldn’t taste the lamb. The salty gravy was going dry around the edge which suggests it was wrong kept warm. We had a large? Glass of wine and an...

Ate last night with friends. Excellent and friendly service, food very good, well presented, but £15 for two, yes two scallops, is outrageous, no matter how nice they tasted. Advice is all the dishes are nice, some are just not value for money.

Dropped by today on the off chance there was a table free. Staff were really friendly and accommodating. Menu extensive with plenty of choice. We went for the chorizo scotch egg and squid to start, then the beef and the pork belly for mains. Everything...

Went for a quick lunch as my husband was working. It was packed and thought it was going to be a long wait. Not at all. The staff were very friendly, food was delicious and didn't have much of a wait. Set menu was great...

Positives - cosy environment, lovely open fire burning, really good staff who were friendly welcoming and helpful. A proper looking traditional pub. Vegetables well cooked Negatives - over salted food generally, old uncomfortable chairs Summary. A lovely traditional pub. Would go again but for a...

4th time at the Windmill for dinner and the food is consistently superb. Tonight was ‘Thermidor Thursday’ and we both had Surf & Turf (succulent sirloin and perfectly cooked and tasty fresh half a large Norwegian lobster; there are other lobster options), accompanied by an...

Disappointed.Had fish and chips. Chips were over cooked and tasted burnt and the fish was tiny. All batter and hardly any fish . Shame as I thought this might be an alternative to the increasingly expensive “gastro pubs” in Kent now.

Visited last night and had a top notch meal. Food was a very high standard and service was friendly, polite and attentive. Would thoroughly recommend.

I have no words to express how delicious the food was. I ordered the steak and due to my dietary requirements, the Chef kindly accommodated the changes. The dish was very well presented and of a good portion. My boyfriend had the burger. It was...

Always a good Meal at the Windmill. Not the cheapest, but good food. The pub is old, but with modern decoration, lovely beer garden and covered area. The pub is owned by Balfour winery and their beer and wine is stocked. We went for Wellington...

Made a trip here for a quick bite to eat at lunch time. Were greeted by a very friendly gentleman who seated us in the main area of the restaurant and provided us with menus to peruse whilst he got our drinks order. We both...

The Windmill is probably our favourite family treat restaurant. There’s always a warm welcome, inside, garden or deck are all really good. We had the lobster linguine (a very special special), duck breast, fish & chips, and a baked cod dish which were all amazing....

We visited for lunch while we were staying in the local area and were absolutely blown away by the food and the service. It was a quiet Tuesday afternoon but we received a lovely friendly welcome and had a drink in the bar area before...

First visit, had been recommended by a friend, did not disappoint. 4 stand out dishes - whitebait, shepherd's pie, duck and sea bass (described by our fish eater as best she'd ever tasted). Spoilt for choice for desserts - I struggled to choose between 3...

Our Sunday lunch started off badly. Original table we were sat at was very uncomfortable as banquet seat had no filling so moved tables to one near a doorway by the fire it was a bit better than original one but not great. Then my...

This was my first visit back to The Windmill for 50yrs. Oh what a treat . From entering the bar we both got a huge welcome , all the staff were amazing and the lunch was the best food we had enjoyed for some time...

Booked a table for 6pm, turned up a little earlier but were shown to our table straight away. Drinks were ordered and delivered straight away. Told about the specials there was 4 and we picked the chateaubriand sharer. When the food came it was beautiful...

Visited for a pre-valentines day meal out. I had the watermelon for a starter which was really fresh and different to anything I have tried before. My partner had the tuna which he said was great. I then had the nut roast and my partner...

A pleasant dining area on two levels on the ground floor. A cosy atmosphere generated by two wood fires. It was quite busy , but not noisy, when we visited on a Friday lunchtime. All dishes were well prepared and presented. We shared a starter...

There’s not much to say other than wow!!! I am not one to be impressed so easily but if I were a baseball, I’d be knocked out of the park! I am annoyed that I haven’t found this restaurant sooner. It’s local to Maidstone and...

I work in hospitality so I read many a review and so I never feel compelled to write one! Today on a cold Sunday in January after a visit for lunch to The Windmill I just have to leave one. We walked in to a...

Brilliant lunch stop after a long walk around the fields! Highly recommend. Food was incredible & the staff were all very accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Had the pan roast cod and a couple of deserts and all was very tasty. Good and relaxed atmosphere and enjoyable rare sense of normality. The only thing I’d say is that the Express Set Lunch was not available; the website clearly says it wasn’t...

Good Food. Excellent Staff. Our party of 6 enjoyed a relaxed and memorable evening in very pleasant surroundings.

One of the best meals I have had for a very long time! We arrived for a 6pm booking in the week before Christmas 2021. The welcome was warm, the service especially from Phil was superb and Thermidor Thursday did not disappoint. Food quality exceptional...

Me and my partner visited The Windmill for the first time and it definitely won’t be the last time. We had a Camembert and the chorizo scotch egg which was so tasty! For our main we went for the beef Wellington to share, all of...

Thermidor Thursday.....just wow! The food was absolutely amazing! Cooked to perfection and the presentation was beautiful. A little pricey but it's not something I would pay for on a regular basis so a little treat doesn't hurt. The restaurant was buzzing and even so we...

Having been to The Windmill many years ago and had an enjoyable meal, we thought that it was about time to go there again. Apart from the old boot no longer hanging in the fireplace, everything else seemed the same. I saw recent reviews on...

Visited The Windmill on two occasions while staying at Leeds Castle. The food is beautifully presented and delicious. The Chef and his team should be awarded 5 stars for the dishes they create.

Good was fantastic along with great service. Fish was fresh with a nice crispy batter, chips are more like roast potatoes they’re so big!!.. could not fault the food, not sure about £4.80 for a pint of coke from the tap though!!

We picked The Windmill for a midweek anniversary romantic meal. Like an old friend that we haven’t seen in a while, it was great to be back and it felt just like old times. There are a few subtle changes that you would expect and...

Eight of us met for an evening meal to celebrate a special birthday. The pub was cosy and welcoming, and despite our varied tastes (ranging from carnivorous to strictly veggie), all thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. The staff were exceptionally pleasant and attentive.

Last night’s Game Night was my fourth visit in 3 months to The Windmill and each time has been a pleasure. My friends and I had only been in the previous week to celebrate two of our wives’ birthdays and we thought that was a...

Family Sunday lunch...service was good on a busy day. Attentive and helpful staff. Beef was lovely...tender and tasty but the roasties were pants...either yesterday's or left on a hot plate far too long...knife could not cut them! Did tell staff at end of meal but...

Amazing Sunday lunch and really warm service from the team. Everything was delicious and was worried about portion sizes from earlier reviews but no need to worry as everything was spot on. Looking forward to returning

Hadn’t visited for a good few years but went back to see how it was under new ownership. Staff were very attentive, food was great! Their lunch special menu I thought was great value for money. The garden is lovely with plenty of shade and...

Visited today, my mistake should have met friends there on Friday, two of us had lunch, can’t wait to revisit Friday again with friends, eaten in top restaurants and this was up with the best, first class service and tremendous food

Probably the poorest Sunday roast we've ever had........no Oysters available as a starter which didn't help..............dinner looked like a children's portion, barely enough meat to make half a sandwich, was luke warm and pretty tasteless Left feeling very disappointed, hungry, and ripped off!

Yes! They did it again! We have once again dined at the Windmill and eaten an exceptional lunch. We shared the love this time by bringing close friends with us. All four of us were totally blown away by our food choices. The scallops are...

Booked for my father-in-law's birthday and the meals were amazing. They were extremely tasty and well presented. Although there were a couple of mishaps with staff slipping and dropping our meals (not their fault) all the staff were very friendly and pleasant and made us...

Beef wellington was delicious on a Wednesday its definitely worth a visit for! We pre booked and really enjoyed our meal, covid safe and delicious! Pudding menu isn’t great for chocolate lovers though!

Meet with friends for a fab night at the windmill...Many thanks to our great host Di and her team for excellent service...amazing food..the whole night was lovely..decided as a group to meet once a month and the Windmill is definitely on our list 👏

We had dinner with friends a couple of weeks ago. Our first outing since the last Lockdown and our first choice. Diana was not there but we were looked after by Tom. Excellent service from all the staff. The food as expected was top notch...

Great service and Covid secure. Good selection of food, I had mussels and a proper burger with a delicious bottle of Balfour rose. Finished with Kent cheese. Well priced with a relaxed atmosphere

Enjoyed a lovely lunch at the windmill today ! We both had the set lunch menu and choose the chicken Supreme which was just fantastic ! Followed by sticky toffee pudding and lemon posset and at £15 for two courses it was such a bargain...

We love this beautiful wooden beamed pub. Today was an unexpected day off so the booking was made around an hour before we wanted to be seated. A Monday afternoon so we thought it would be reasonably quiet. The friendly front of house staff found...

We’ve lived nearby (Borden) for years but only discovered this gem last night. It was our anniversary so I thought we’d have a treat and found the Windmill on the viaMichelin website. It’s a lovely, old (mind your head on the beams) pub which serves...

We haven’t been to the Windmill for several years and popped in for an impromptu lunch after a funeral today. From start to finish I was impressed and it was a joy to be inside a pub after lockdown. The decor has been beautifully updated,...

This was followed by pan-roasted sea bass, lobster bisque, mussels, tomato, baby leeks, kale, sautéed-potato and pan-roasted cod, sautéed courgette, beetroot, new potato, samphire, tomato, shallots, anchovy, paprika dressing. We had the...

£32 for two Risotto, which were served warm, badly let it down. Waiter offered to “take it back and heat it up”, which we declined as it would have then been overcooked. It was very tasty however so we decided to make the best of...

We really recommend this pub for a meal. The staff was very friendly especially our waitress Diana! The food was very nice. Hands down to the head chef! Will definitely come back for your Wellington Wednesday!! Keep up the great work!

This was our first meal at a restaurant for a long time and we were both looking forward to it, as it was also our birthdays earlier in the week. Unfortunately we both left disappointed. For starters we ordered the salmon (£9.50) and the scallops...

Can't fault the night in anyway what so ever, food was incredible. Thank you for a fantastic night. See you again soon.
