As the Warwickshire Regional Lead for the no fuss networking brand I should like to say a BIG thank you to Gemma & Andy, the new landlords as the Windmill Inn in Rugby. The Windmill Inn is our partner venue for our monthly Rugby Buzz event. Gemma & Andy make Buzz super welcome each month. We love you pub, which is clean & fresh. The coffee is good too. It is a pleasure to partner with you.

Another great visit to The Windmill. The Licencees were on duty and were very very helpful this visit I was with my disabled friend who is in a wheelchair ♿️ and we needed the doors to the smoking area holding open so I could push the wheelchair ♿️ outside, the only drawback was the smoking shelter was not wheelchair friendly as there was a really big step up to get into it. But we managed to shelter from the rain under a table umbrella 🌂 so all was good. We were also helped with the doors when we left overall 9 stars out of 10.

Visited this pub for a couple of pints while shopping and the service was fantastic. The barman could not do enough for me as I'm a bit wobbly on my feet he brought my drinks over to the table, which was very kind. Bonus was the football was on a large screen TV overall 10 out of 10 will definitely return again.

Today was the worst ever I came across to see my drink was disappeared and the pub claimed did not see, and refused to provide any alternative. It was disappointing, disgraceful, shameful and disgusting thing to do with a regular customer. I have never seen any pub in the whole England, UK and world did stupid and awful act of cheapness, uncivilised and backward behaviour, of this nature. They deserve the worst rating for what they have done!!!!

We have been coming here for the past couple of weeks and the atmosphere is perfect! The Landlord is a very nice guy who always tries to have a joke and a chat. The beer is perfect, with the ales and ciders they have on tap are a fab selection. If you want to try a new ale or cider, just ask and they are happy to oblige by giving you a taster glass. Prices are competitive in my opinion with £3.80 for an ale and £4.20 for a cider. The left of the picture is Lilleys Mango 4% and on the right is Oakham pale ale 3.8%. Both an exceptional pint! Snack prices are good too with Real brand crisps at £1.50 approx and cobs made to order which ever filling you like for £2.50. We will continue to come back as the atmosphere with the not too loud music and the customers the pub does get is not full of youngsters. Perfect little pub and I am glad it is restored to what it is! Thanks again!

My first ever visit (2/23) to this pub with a couple of friends. A bit disappointing tbh. The range of beers was not as good as other real ale pubs, with several pale ales but only one true bitter - which was unavailable anyway (new barrel). It also took the barmaid a long time to serve us despite the place not being that busy. In addition they had run out of their limited food offering (filled rolls) by 1.00. Will give it another chance but rather underwhelming.

Very disappointed on a visit to the Windmill Pub. The landlord is aggressive and rude. After a lovely day socialising at Rugby Bikefest, we decided to go and have two soft drinks at The Windmill Pub Rugby. I order two ginger ales and was astounded that the cost was £4.80 I told the bar staff it was ridiculous price for two soft drinks and order two halves of cider. The landlord became aware of my unhappiness and became aggressive and said I quote ‘if we could not afford the prices we should not come out’ and refused to serve the cider which I presume was cheaper and proceeded to pour all four drinks away!! Very disappointed how this was dealt with and it just shows how this penalises people that want to balance their alcohol intake with these inflated prices.

I was really looking forward to eating here as I am a celiac, and it had multiple gluten-free options on the menu. However, once I arrived, I was notified that they don't use a dedicated gluten-free fryer. This then made most of the gluten-free options not actually gluten-free. I just wish there was more transparency.

My partner and I had to be at Wolfhampcote church (nearby) for a rehearsal at 1pm last Sunday, so I rang up the Old Olive Bush to ask if they could fit us in for lunch. They wouldn't normally have opened before 12.30, but Linda was determined that we wouldn't be late for our rehearsal, and offered to open up at midday. She also described the steak pie in such alluring terms that we placed an order for it immediately...and it lived up to the billing. Thank you, Linda, for a delicious lunch, and for being so helpful. We hope to come again!
