The Windmill Inn in Leeds

Beautiful 460+ year old pub. Great food.

I have to say, the food was lovely. However we did wait over an hour for our food, which was fine, it was busy. We managed to ordered dessert but before we had even finished were told by the waitress that she needed the table back in 10 minutes, which as we had waited patiently for over an hour for our food, kind of left a bad taste. I'm sure this is not the norm, overall the place seems lovely.

We love the windmill and decided to book to eat there for the first time since been taken over. We rang twice around 6 ish and got no reply so went into the online booking which said no availability. We decided we’d call by on the off chance and were pleased to be told they weren’t busy. My husband asked for a beer, the young girl didn’t know her beers from lagers and after going to check said they only had Theakstons so he went with that. We ordered starters and mains but the mains came out first and after taking them back we were told the starters wouldn’t be long. Having checked with the waitress that it wouldn’t be the same mains we’d get later and having had that confirmed we sadly feel we did; the cold piped potato round my chicken was swimming in watery juice from the meat and the chicken and black pudding were dry. My husbands veg were luke warm and his cottage pie too hot to eat and, he felt, zapped in the microwave! So disappointed but we paid up as we don’t like making a scene. We won’t be going back to eat which is a real shame.

We had a lovely family af the Windmill Inn. The service was good and the meal was delicious

Customers friendly, old lady behind not so much! American warewolf in London comes to mind.

Visited in September. The cottage pie was tasty and clearly made with good quality beef. Suggest chef adds some gravy or a small jug offered, as a tad dry for me. Pinched some of my wife's as it came with the belly pork. The mini bread loaf was fresh and appeared home made. Needs some butter or olive oil though. Beer good as always. Often pop in for a pint when walking. Glass of rioja went well with the pie.

We recently had Sunday lunch here with our 2 children, grandparents and aunt and uncle. Beautiful pub with a great atmosphere. We were all very impressed with the food. We've had Sunday roasts in all the pubs in the surrounding areas, and this was by far the best. Perfect portion sizes and excellent value for money. The food quality was a step above the usual pub food. The staff were very friendly and they put a birthday candle on our daughter's dessert and sang happy birthday. Well worth a visit, we'll certainly be back

We visited for Sunday dinner, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. The service was painfully slow from start to finish. It took almost 45 minutes just to get someone to come to take our drinks order and then another 15 minutes for the drinks to arrive. When our food finally arrived, 90 minutes after arrival, we had to wait another 15 minutes for a missing meal. On top of the slow service and missing order, it felt like an absolute burden for the chef to swap mash for fries for two children’s meals. Whilst the young waitresses were pleasant, it was clear they lacked proper leadership and direction. Everything from service speed to handling simple requests was chaotic and disorganised. Overall, the slow service and mishandling of our order really ruined what should have been a relaxing Sunday dinner. Definitely not worth the wait or frustration.

We heard some really great things about the pub and the new management. Not been for a while as we had a bad experience previously however we thought we would try again and had booked in. Was so surprised to see how busy the pub was, and on arrival we were greeted by the team and shown to our table. To say that the restaurant was full we did expect the service to take a bit longer and was really impressed that we weren’t waiting that long. The food quality is most definitely better and the roast beef was cooked to perfection. Well done The Windmill Inn. We can’t wait to return,

This is an excellent venue in a lovely village setting. High degree of friendly atmosphere, good range of beers and nice staff. Busy early doors but quietened later in the (Friday) evening. I'll be back

Overpriced food for what it is. Steak was average, and the sauce ordered with it was supposed to be blue cheese but tasted like bechamel sauce we had to season everything. My friend got the cottage pie, which was dry and again lacking flavour she had to ask for gravy as it was so dry and tasteless. The staff didn't have a clue what they were serving they could not tell the difference between a fillet steak or ribeye when serving. They didn't ask when ordering how we liked it and obviously were young and under trained. Will not be visiting again 😒

A real English pub as we imagine it. We only ate here. Three rooms, a bar, a dining room and a kind of cafe where you could eat, as well as a meeting room (not applicable to us). Very nice service, the food was delicious! Very well prepared and beautifully laid out.

Called late afternoon for early dinner. Excellent quality food from a varied menu. The belly pork was the best I have tasted followed by a delicious apple pie. Recently changed hands and clearly making an effort to succeed.

Came here after a horrible experience prior (at a different pub) Food was INSANE!! Ordered the pork belly and it came with the most delicious strip of crackling on top. Veg was all well cooked & seasoned & fresh, roasties were crispy and the gravy was literally probably the nicest gravy i’ve had. 10/10 would recommend.

Food was delicious, we had Sunday roast and for afters sticky toffee pudding and custard 🍮 yummy yummy 😋

After spending over an hour trying to escape the disorganised Caravan/Campervan show in Harrogate, we stopped at one of our favourite pass-through pubs. We missed food serving hours but they kindly offered weary, hangry, travellers a choice of tasty sandwiches, which were exceptional! Atmosphere, wine, location and service all deserve 5 stars. Can’t wait to come back.

Lovey country pub with beautiful garden. Unfortunately, let down by poor service. No smile from behind the bar, seemed too much trouble to handle cash, and no thank you. There was no ,'service with a smile' on a great sunny afternoon 😎

Stop two on the pub crawl. Food is pricey, but you're in Linton! Great beer garden and a good selection of drinks.

Had amazing fish and chips. The quality was outstanding. Hats off to the new owners. Great start!

fantastic beer garden, great selection and a very relaxed atmosphere 👍

Visited here for the first time and wow! The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. The rooms were clean and spacious and the atmosphere was lovely. Will definitely be returning here again

Fantastic atmosphere, service was great from the staff. Overall great experience

Food was great, servicewas fantastic

Excellent food for 4 hungry golfers 🏌️ lovely pub and staff 👍

Just had evening meal, lovely and good value.

Just a quick pint when passing. Looks nice so hopefully will be passing again. A bit too far to make it a local.

Popped in here unplanned towards the end of our dog walk. Not been here before or heard of it. Very impressed with the pub it looked great lovely beer garden so we decided to stay for tea. As we had two dogs we decided to eat in the beer garden. I went out n to get get a couple of drinks and menu. Locals a bit rude as they didn’t even let me get to the bar to order. I went back to the bar to order food. I was told the beef and pork used for Sunday dinner could also be served in a sandwich. I was thinking big crispy baguette or think bloomer bread with think sliced beef with chunky chips and Gravy. So me and my wife both ordered the beef sandwich and chips and gravy. Well I was soooo disappointed when the sandwich turned up in what looked like cheap white sliced bread. I was gutted. For £10 I expected more. The £10 was just for the sandwich !!! I must point out though the beef in the sandwich was amazing although didn’t rescue it from the floppy sliced bread. Chips were nice. Service not great we were paying inside restaurant prices but the waitress brought the meals out and asked us to get our own cutlery and condiments even though she walked past them twice. No one came back out to check everything was ok . Went in to pay, we could have probably walked off without paying as we’d been forgotten about. When paying landlady made a sarcastic comment that we’d only had one drink each and that wasn’t very good business. £34 for two beef sandwiches in white sliced bread one portion of chips and 2 pints really good for business. We did look on the menu online after and the hot beef sandwich on there says it comes in a baguette!! Was really excited when we walked in but left a bit flat

It's just changed hands and it wasn't as good as usual. Might be better in time

Had a lovely lunch, scampi and chips. Excellent. Great ale also

Such a gorgeous little village. And the beer garden is fab!

Very friendly and efficient service and good food in a really nice location. Very old pub with quirky inside.

Had a lovely lunch here with family. Under no pressure to leave. Super food, wonderful staff.

Stopped for a drink whilst out for a walk, didn't eat on this occasion but the food looked lovely. Nice seating area outside.

Shame Janet is retiring, but a great pub all the same

Absolutely lovely nice atmosphere and friendly staff, food was amazing and plenty of it.

Attended a family get together here recently, great food, excellent service and a decent pint of Guinness too!

Great Monday night quiz, starts at 07.30, free entry. Comfortable pub, log fire, good food available, and well kept beer. Large car park.

What a lovely little pub and restaurant. Fantastic atmosphere. Very family friendly. We had a fantastic meal all thoroughly enjoyed our food. And the service was lovely and smiley. Definitely recommend if looking for a warm, welcoming, good hearty food and parking on site is a massive bonus.

Review of testaurant. Excellent food, wasn't too hungry so took advantage of the small portions they do and had pie of the day (chicken and leek) . Perfect portion size. Excellent service and friendly staff, the young lad and lass couldn't have been more available. 2 bar rooms (separate from the much quiter restaurant), each with the fire going. Perfect visit, would definitely return if in the area.

Cost. Real fires. Warm atmosphere. Good quiz.

Cracking Sunday lunch. Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely atmosphere.

Nice country pub. Lovely staff and nice food.

I had their Christmas Menu today Salmon and beetroot starter Turkey dinner as main Chocolate ganache for sweet The whole meal was delicious The Turkey Christmas Dinner was the best I have ever had

Good food and service but certainly not warm enough to sit and eat your food

Great atmosphere ! Excellent service and food! There were twenty of us. We had a warm welcome. The service and food were excellent from start t fnish.The food was hot and delicious,everyone enjoyed their choices. The service was amazing. The Inn was busy with other diners and everyone was happy. Thank you to all at the Windmill Inn.

Beautiful pub in Linton near wetherby serving very nice pub food. Staff were very friendly serving with a smile. Will definitely return to try something different from the menu. Lovely outdoor seating area which would be perfect in the summer.

Good food, atmosphere and service.

Wanted to bring my mother-in-law to a nicer place than your typical pub for Sunday dinner, and The Windmill didn't disappoint. Husband and his mum are hard to please, but they both raved about their lamb dinner. The atmosphere was gorgeous and service wonderful .

Lovely country pub with real atmosphere.

Lovely old inn with a huge garden surrounded by woods. Very good modern menu, better than normal pub grub, but still not to expensive. Selection of ales. Good sized car park.

Gorgeous garden, friendly great staff. Beer was good and a lovely burger. At a reasonable price Highly commend

Absolutely fantastic pub ,food,ale,hospitality. Definitely my favourite establishment where I live around.

Great atmosphere, very good food and the service was exceptional with staff extremely friendly and knowledgeable, we traveled from Barnsley to come here and will definitely be back

Large car park. Wide selection for lunch. Good, friendly service. Not wheelchair friendly, several sets of steps, some very steep but it's an old building. Might be a level way in through the garden. Surely the friendliest most helpful staff in the area.

We attended a wedding and reception nearby so The Windmill was a superb first choice. The room in the courtyard exceeded expectations along with the fabulous fresh ingredient breakfast. Strongly recommend if you are staying in the area. Pleasant and friendly staff rounded off an excellent overnight stay

Had a great meal. Warm, welcoming with top service in lively old English pub in beautiful location. It was very well recommended to us - and it was better than we expected. We will go back. And very dog friendly too.

Great place Friendly staff will definitely go back

Love this place. Food, very good value. Service, steady and never rushed. Garden, on a day like today, peaceful.

Lovely village pub serving good food and drink. Highly recommend.

Our server was delightful, attentive, helpful and informative. She recommended the Special seafood chowder. Very tasty and a good portion at £13.50. Sadly I didn’t take any pictures! The general decor is looking a big tired but the food and service are great!

Cracking pub wirh a fantastic beee garden for sitting our.

Very nice pub excellent food in a nice location

Great food, great location and really friendly staff - highly recommended.

Excellent service and food options, didn't stay here.

Lovely classic pub with good food and drink.

Very nice restaurant. Staff very friendly and helpful. The surroundings are beautiful and the food (burgers) was very tasty. We were very satisfied and will definitely come back.

A delightful place with courteous and welcoming managers, pleasant surroundings, excellent food and super music 👍😊😁

Our server Kristie was the epitome of class and decorum. Can't wait to visit again.

Lovely roast dinner (and puddings!) and great service.

Had a lovely beer in the garden on the warmest day of the year so far.

Ate dinner there this evening at this village pub. Good choice of menu, generous portions, pleasant surroundings and helpful staff. Plenty of parking, but a steady hand required to exit through the narrow opening back onto the road! Well recommended

Wonderful picturesque village pub with many fine ales, excellent food lovely outdoor area and a real welcoming atmosphere,, got to give it a try uou wont be dissapointed,

Friendly good attentive service and good choice of quality pub food.

Like stepping back in time, a real old fashioned pub! I think it will be like Marmite, you will either love or hate it! We only used the car park entrance and it could present some hazards, if you have any mobility issues.

Lovely food in a lovely village pub.

Great place and good hot food friendly staff

Lovely Sunday lunch, good value, good service clean and tidy, whats not to like.

Short notice decision to book for lunch on a midweek. Pleasingly busy given the current financial climate. Nice menu, great staff. Mum loved being able to have a smaller portion from main menu. Steak pie was excellent. Couldn't find a single piece of fat or gristle if I tried. Would be back more often if lived locally.

Wonderful Sunday lunch. Attentive staff and nothing was too much trouble.

Wonderful atmosphere and good food. I will be back 👍👍

Lovey pub, friendly atmosphere and excellent food to match

Had a very nice meal and time with some friends. Only downside was the plates were cold which I did mention to the staff.

Great atmosphere and lovely staff. We go regularly for drinks, but I wouldn't recommend the food.

Great accommodation / Great food / and great hosts - what more can you ask for !

It’s a lovely and very atmospheric old village pub

Absolutely fantastic service from arriving to leaving, the lady on charge can't do enough. The meals are really great value for money and the rooms are spotless and spacious. The locals even make you welcome in the bar, just stopped off to go to a funeral nearby but will definitely return, Thanks for your fantastic service. 5 stars no problem 😊

Beautiful moment sharing with my friend, I had some good apple beers

Lovley food basic menu landlady very nice will be back

Nice place and pleasant atmosphere, like a French person imagines an English pub

Excellent food and good service!

Great place good food well kept beer and lovely atmosphere

Nice location and tasty food (we only had bar snacks) worth a visit if you’re travelling up the motorway

Lovely experience good food and hospitality

Lovely pub. Good meals. We all ate well. Grown ups. Kids. For me I wish they served breakfast all day. More veggie options would be nice though my haloumi burger was very good. Staff very friendly and helpful. A good place to stop for a meal. Garden out the back.

we had a brilliant time earlier this afternoon called by chance for lunch after a driving for hours the welcome we got was just lovely more to do with our 17 week old Border Terrier Stella i think but all the staff were fabulous and spoilt her we were well looked after and the food and service were 5 stars the inn and gardens are charming definitely will return thank you all

Friendly service. Lovely village location. Great parking area. Food was beautiful.

Great place to stop...unless Your using the pub as a pub stop in your campervan. You have a dog..only 3 tables in the bar for people with dogs and no where else to.sit other than the beer garden..not good in bad weather or when its cold. You want breakfast after using as a pub stop...although there is a menu..it only applies to customers paying £100 a night in the b&b. We Will not be returning....or reccomending!!!! And not to mention...Karen and her amazing chandeleirs!! The entire pub does not want to hear it!!!

Pub stop in my campervan. Dog friendly if your not having a meal..make sure you bring your own breakfast. breakfasts are for b&b guests only ... go figure ??? 🤔

Absolutely fantastic staff and food! Not had a bad meal here! Will definitely be coming back on my next trip over from down under!!

The staff here are absolutely amazing, Hannah and Olivia were lovely and made this a great dining experience! The food was tasty and great portion sizes. If you're looking for a meal at a quintessential English pub you can't go past The Windmill Inn! Thanks guys 😊
