The Windmill Inn in Hinckley and Bosworth

Soooo tasty. Lovely staff and great service. Feast menu soooooo good, lots of choice, worst thing is trying to choose what to order!!!! Take away pie too - what more could you want

Qué fantástica comida de domingo. Fuimos con amigos en una recomendación y no nos decepcionó. Llegué a las 2 , se muestra a nuestra mesa, un lugar bastante luminoso y luminoso, mesa estaba casi lo suficientemente limpia. Pedido de bebidas, buena selección de cervezas. La elección del menú fue a través de una tabla de tiza, también tienen especiales, fuimos por el cordero, carne mixta y cerdo. No tuvimos que esperar mucho a que llegara la red, todas se veían fabulosas, sobre todo mi cordero, 3 cortes estupendos, muy sabrosos de hecho, la verdura llegó al mismo tiempo, mi único crítico fue que las verduras estaban un poco del lado al dente, otros 2 o 3 minutos hubieran sido geniales. No pensé que tendríamos espacio para un pud pero sonaban genial, yo tenía el pudín de toffee pegajoso con helado de vainilla, sin duda dio en el punto. El servicio era muy elegante, no sentarse allí durante 10 minutos con platos vacíos. ¿Precio? 22 libras por mi cordero y 7 libras. 50 para un pudín, te dejaré decidir si eso es bueno. No soy el mayor fan de un asado dominical, mi pareja y mamá hacen un trabajo tan fabuloso por qué iba a comer fuera, pero en este caso, volvería la próxima semana.

Gran comida, gran servicio con un ambiente encantador. Recomendaría encarecidamente el festín de tapas seguido de uno de sus sabrosos postres

What an amazing find! Absolutely incredible food, the best meal I've had for years, id highly recommend the Windmill, will definitely be back!!! Thank you so much for a wonderful evening xx

Great food, friendly staff, good beers. Love the tapas style menu, great for sharing with friends

Popped in for a drink and all the staff are so friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable about the history, we will definitely be back for some food and it's a lovely relaxed venue.

Nuestro objetivo es cenar allí 2 - 3 veces al mes y sin excepción, la comida siempre ha sido excepcional. Steve, Sophie y el equipo son anfitriones de primer nivel, si usted es habitual o nuevo en el lugar. Ya reservado para el almuerzo de Navidad y mi libro de consejos temprano para evitar la decepción.

Qué suerte tuvimos de tropezar con este lugar. Encantadora cálida bienvenida de Sophie, que continuó durante todo nuestro tiempo allí. Excelente servicio y la comida era simplemente excelente, con las porciones son tan grandes como los menús 🤣 Un pub encantador con muchos clientes habituales y si viviéramos más cerca, sería nuestro también. Además, admite perros en la zona del bar, siempre un bono.

What a frantastic place, the food is second to none. The best sit down meal I've had in many years. Highly recommend. And we were welcome to stay over in the carpark in our campers. Faultless!

Stopped off for a drink on the way home, hadn't been in before, but everybody we encountered, customers and staff, were really friendly and polite. We were only visiting briefly, and primarily this inn is an eatery, but the lady dealing with food went on the system to get us a vacant table we could sit at while we just had a drink. We're looking at moving to this area, and if we do, we'll definitely be visiting more often! Thank you for being so friendly & welcoming.

10 of us ate at the Windmill last night. Most commented that it was the best food that they had had in ages. Good atmosphere. Attentive staff (without being in your face). Would definitely recommend.

The Food was great , The staff was smily / very helpful . This was our first visit but will definitely be back for more . All in all a very nice experience. Many Thanks . Stewart & Joe . X

Fantastic food and service. Very warming local pub with a brilliant choice of food and drink.

Excellent good. Very impressed

Food was amazing, we had the Sunday lunch. Ambience was good, decor bet nice inside and outside. Only thing that lets this place down is the toilets. Very shabby and don’t smell very clean. I’m talking about ladies loo. Not sure on the gents. Otherwise a fantastic place

We really enjoyed our first visit here. The food was delicious , lots of choice , good service , staff very friendly and just a lovely place. Will definitely be returning.

Excellent value for money. Food plentiful and delicious. Service with a smile and nothing to much trouble. I live near Burford in Oxfordshire. Nicest Sunday lunch I've had in this area.

Amazing food, great service…warm friendly atmosphere! Food is always top quality and the ice cream is amazing!!

We chose a family get together here due to its location between Yorkshire and Wales, and also as a lot of the dishes on their menu were gluten free. From arrival the staff were really welcoming and sat us by the fire whilst we all arrived. The restaurant is nicely laid out, the menu had almost too much choice. We had starters which were huge, especially the cheesy garlic bread! The mains and sides were all excellent, everyone really enjoyed the food and wanted to taste each others. Respect to the staff who were super patient and endlessly cheery as we were there for 4 hours in the end (we don’t get to see each other that often) and the restaurant were happy for us to stay which really meant a lot to us. A 5 star lunch experience and would definitely recommend!

Absolutely fantastic food. Great service from a lovely young lady. Fabulous from start to finish.

Excellent food definitely worth a try, might be worth booking first

We have lived in the area for almost 3 years, not sure how we have missed this!! The food was amazing, service incredible and had the most comforting, warm atmosphere. We will be making this our regular place for meals out.

Our family went to the Windmill last night for my daughter's 21st birthday. It was fabulous. The welcome was warm, the beer was lovely and the food was absolutely unbelievable. We stuffed our faces with plenty of the small dishes, the beef brisket was the star! Anyway can't recommend the place enough, we'll be back soon thanks!

Warm and friendly greeting, excellent Sunday roasts and starters, what more could you want? The lamb was probably the best Sunday roast I have ever had! They even served up a birthday cake we had bought ourselves!

We have visited this venue many times. The food quality and choice is amazing! We have held a good few family celebrations - big and small; the owners, chef and staff are very accommodating and helpful. We can highly recommend this wonderful, friendly Inn.

First time visit and it was fantastic! The food was delicious 😋

Superb Sunday Lunch, excellent dessert

Beautiful Sunday Roast. Excellent Service 👍🔥🔥

Excellent place lovely staff 5 stars a great place.

Christmas dinner today with my family and honestly the food and the service were1st class, I can't recommend this place enough......Will definitely go back.......Fabulous!!!!!

Once again a fantastic meal. Really friendly owners and lovely pub and restaurant

Fabulous Bistro Pub and amazing pies

1st time here on a dull Saturday afternoon with my partner, son, his daughter (3 yrs)and partner. On arrival, greeted and had a few drinks whilst waiting for our table (we arrived early). The place has a wonderful laid back atmosphere. Shown to our lovely table by the log fire and shown the menus. This is great, 2 large blackboards with all the food listed. There is a great selection of dishes here. It was hard to decide what to have but had some great advice from the staff. The food was totally superb. I chose this place due to the variety of the menu and the pics of the food. Often, reality doesn't quite match the photos but I've enclosed mine here because reality did live up to what's on the pub website. We had a fab time, really enjoyed it and will be back again. A real gem this one.

The best place to eat in Leicestershire with a wide range of home made food. Have been several times and never been disappointed.

First visit, will definitely be returning and will recommend to friends and family, great food, lovely service and good value for money

Moroccan Lamb was just fantastic

The food is excellent, and the staff are so helpful. This is a lovely pub . We stayed overnight in our campervan only six miles from Hinckley Triumph experience. Brilliant

Great sunday lunch. Happy staff.

I had heard The Windmill did a nice Sunday lunch. I wasn't prepared for what we got - absolute perfection from the second we walked through the doors. The service was second to none, despite it being clearly very busy, ad we were chatting and forgot to look at the menu, the waiting staff remained good humoured, polite, professional and downright friendly throughout. The came the food. For starters my husband had what he described as 'The freshest prawns he has ever tasted', while my garlic mushrooms were to die for. On to the mains, and our group had a variety of Sunday roasts. All were really well cooked, the slow roasted meats simply fell apart, and were completely delicious. And there was so much! Everything on our plates was cooked to perfection, there was literally nothing you could have wished to be any different. The setting is glorious, the ambience in The Windmill is welcoming, relaxed, and there is a feeling of space, despite there being a lot of people there eating while we were there, there were no difficulties with bumping into other people etc. We will definately be going back, The Windmill is totally amazing.

Sunday roast was amazing the beef just melted in your mouth The potatoes and the veg were pretty amazing too Would 100% advise to try the Sunday roast

I have been meaning to rave about this Pub since we were lucky enough to have a post IRC Triathlon meet at Mallory Park in early September. The food was great, particularly the Pie of the day, and the chips were fantastic too. No mean feat to get me to single out these but the quality was so good. Top ingredients and a very proud owner partnership. If you want good good food you will not be disappointed based on our visit. Well done guys.

Had dinner with a mate. Both had pizzas. Both really, really nice. The Calzone was paticularly good. Nice beers Excellent service. Great little pub with a lovely restaurant.

Excellent little pub with great food. Really nice atmosphere, good service and lots of great choice for food, all of which was delicious and portions very generous.

Absolutely brilliant service and food. Would highly recommend the Sunday lunch choices. Pleasant ambiance, music at good volume which allowed us to talk

We were taken to this restaurant by family. The choice on the menu was varied from traditional to Asian & Moroccan. Our food was cooked to perfection, piping hot and served quickly. The homemade ice cream is delicious. This has spoilt me now for visits to my local eateries that don't come close.

Lovely clean restaurant and plentiful hot food

My wife and I went to the Windmill to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Given the reviews I had high hopes for this place. The first table we were seated at was next to the kitchen entrance and the pots & pans clanging made it hard to hear conversation with my wife so we asked asked a staff member to be reseated which they duly did without hesitation. Unfortunately that meant we were moved nearer the the bustling bar area with its accompanying hubbub of others' conversations. The real problem however was a customer's dog (border collie sized) that would bark quite loud and suddenly at regular intervals (maybe one or twice a minute) so we could never really relax. The Windmill advertises its main dining area as a restaurant, but I would suggest its more of an extended bar area. As for the food.. we enjoyed it, and the portions were generous. We found the "tapas" concept as described to us confusing, and the menu even more confusing. Typically with a tapas style restaurant the dishes would be smaller and cheaper than an entree and one would order 4-6 dishes for two people. But these dishes were entree sized and entree priced (£11-14) so we just ordered 2 dishes and two sides (rice & veggies) and that was more than enough. The menu was confusing in that its not clear what the theme is.. its not "pub food", its not fine dining, there were pizzas but there was also lamb tagine and thai prawn salad and beef stroganoff.. such a mismatch of food that would make any "tapas style" sharing a very odd experience. I'll reiterate, we did enjoy the food, but the dining experience was left wanting

Lovely pub with an amazing Feast Tapas menu. Their portion sizes are very generous to say the least. Over ordered massively (my fault) but still very good value for money. Will definitely be headed back for more.

Return visit to this gem of a restaurant. Such an unassuming pub but so friendly and welcoming. The chef is amazing. 6 of us enjoying all our dishes which is unusual as we are different generations and tastes. Head waitress is lovely. Well done to the whole team.

I have to say we have never had food like this, not your typical pub food, it was out of this world, the pub is lovely, clean and cosy, the staff were fabulous and attentive. The food was 1st class, and was reasonably priced. The landlord was happy for us to stay in our motorhome on the carpark, he was more than accompanying. Overall a fantastic little find and we will definitely be back x

Everything about this place is excellent! Top class food and service

Wonderful food, drinks, service and atmosphere. Second visit and I really like this place. The chickpea Korma was fantastic and the guest ale was spot on.

A wonderful evening, the food perfect, the service polite and friendly.

Popped in by chance, warm welcome and fabulous food. Highly recommended

From the warm welcome to the polite and friendly service and excellent food, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. We’ll certainly be back.

Friday 9th August 2024. My husband and I travelled up to Newbold Verdun in Leicestershire to go out to lunch with Mark’s cousin Roger and his wife Janine. We went to a lovely country pub called ‘The Windmill’ just ten minutes from where Roger lives in Brascote. We arrived for 12.30 pm and were shown to a nice table for four in the restaurant. The pub itself is light, bright and airy with a lovely restaurant dining area, where we were seated on this lovely sunny afternoon. The place was nice and cool and the staff was bright and welcoming. We shared starters, Roger and Janine had halloumi fries with a sweet chilli dip. My husband and I had bread and olives with olive oil and balsamic dip, the bread was soft and warm and the starters were just the perfect size to get the palate started. For our main courses; Roger beef brisket with gorgonzola with kalimchi fries. Janine had chicken ‘Korma’ curry with green vegetables, which she said was delicious. My husband had the Moroccan lamb with pliau rice; he said the lamb just melted in the mouth. I had the mushroom stroganoff with garlic and herb potatoes, which was delicious. The dishes all arrived together and were very hot and well presented. We washed all this lovely food down with two pints ‘Scorcher’ bitter for Roger, two pints of ‘Codswallop’ bitter for My husband, a large glass of rose wine for me. Janine had chilled sparkling water as she does not drink alcohol. We all had desserts, as the chef did his own home-made ice creams and these we all could not resist. Roger had rum and raisin ice cream. Janine had peanut butter ice cream. My husband had lemon curd meringue ice cream and I had the hazelnut praline ice cream, which was delicious. We all had after dinner drinks. Roger and My husband had black Americano coffees. Janine had a cappuccino coffee and I had a lemoncello and ice as I did not want a coffee. The bill for the meal was very reasonable. We will definitely be returning to this lovely place.

From the moment you step into the windmill there is a buzz, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Cool music, happy clients and more important happy staff. This husband and wife team have got it sorted. Their son was also behind the bar. The other waitress was just delightful. It was a Thursday night and full, they do a kind of tapas menus full of enticing flavours, we had many dishes each one exceptional. For pudding affogato! Amazing! If you’re in the area please go here it’s amazing!

Once again a fabulous meal at the Windmill Inn Brascote Newbold Verdon Food excellent , Staff outstanding cannot wait to go again Music provided some evening in August Pies to die for

For starters the food was fantastic So compliments to the chef 👍 the staff are very Friendly and the atmosphere in the place is so good. I can't recommend this place enough I will definitely be dining here agin thanks for a wonderful evening.

Absolutely gorgeous food, tapas style or just a meal. I buy the award winning pies when leaving. Can't recommend enough 😕

Such a great place!!! With an ever rotating menu the food is a playful mix of different cultures and flavours. The service was relaxed and fun...all in all a great place to have a meal.

We were 4 adults (inc 2 veggies), a 2 year old and a dog. We sat in the bar area. The couple running the place were super friendly and took us through the menu which is made up of loads of starters, mains (which can be shared “tapas style”) and pizzas. We ordered a mix of the mains, a couple of sides and a couple of pizzas. Everything was delicious (the crispy, chilli beef was soooooo good!) and, despite possibly slightly over ordering, we polished off everything - unfortunately leaving no room for dessert (which was a shame as the dessert menu looked amazing and included lots of homemade ice creams :-)) Would highly recommend!

Couldn't fault a thing! Excellent menu, a real change from the the usual 'pub grub. Amazing food and service!

Excellent food and service would highly recommend and will be back thanks for a great evening

We have been here on a number of occasions now. Today was our second Sunday lunch. Cost £20 but you know this is a true reflection on the phrase. You get what you pay for. An absolute gorgeous meal. We have tried all over Leicestershire, claims of best meals and pie Wednesday. But none can come even close to this place. We class this place as a real treat place to eat. I struggle to find the words to give it the praise it truly deserves

Simply stunning. Amazing welcome, service and food. Literally one of the best countryside meals we have had. Thank you!

Excellent food and service very friendly staff

The staff never stop and always on the go. The food is really diverse and if you can't find something you'd like to eat then stay at home. It's well cooked, service is fast and staff are on the ball.

Food is fantastic, so are the staff and would recommend to anyone

1st visit interesting concept good selection of food options. Madri and Peroni on tap always a winner. Friendly and helpful staff quirky decor will be back for 2nds 👍😋

Stumbled upon this local pub and it’s a surprising find - the dishes here are exquisite! All of them were meticulously designed with creative use of both Asian & Western flavours and spices. The slow roast beef brisket is a must-try, it’s so tender and literally melts in the mouth. The pulled pork pancakes are also amazing, sliced duck is usually the go-to in Asia with these pancakes, but the flavours of the pulled pork also works well with the pancakes.

We thought we would give this place a go as the reviews on here are excellent , we were greeted by Steve who made us feel very welcome and then were seated in the restaurant.Lovely atmosphere and great menu which was explained to us by the lovely waitress the crispy beef was amazing and the portions were very good .We will definitely be back to try the Sunday lunch as we really enjoyed our meal , Thank you

Lovely evening out with my friend, we had food off the feast menu (tapas style) and it didn’t disappoint. It all tasted so fresh and came out beautifully presented. All servers were really friendly and made sure we were happy with our food and were attentive when it came to drinks too. But the best thing for me was the homemade ice-cream, it was delicious and so creamy.. I had the lemon curd and meringue and it was honestly the best ice cream I have ever tastes. Will definitely be back, even if it’s just to eat that!!

Brilliant food and excellent service, great time with the family 😄 Couldn’t recommend this place enough, very impressed

Visited for my daughters birthday and had an excellent time. The varied menu makes it easy to find something that everyone will enjoy, and the drinks were great too. The service sealed the 5 star review for me - operating well above its price point in this regard. We were greeted with a warm welcome, and attentive slick service throughout. Really impressive!

Amazing Food! Dog friendly and really people friendly too. You always get a lovely welcome and whether it’s Sunday lunch, pie night, pizza or a feast menu you are in for something special. Great to go for a special night out as a couple or as a big group of friends with there being so much choice on the menu and all of spectacular Quality. Cant wait to go back.

This is a wonderful place for food and drinks. The food is unbelievably delicious, the service is beyond excellent and the owners create ana amazing atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and like a local.

A real find with an eclectic menu that has something for everyone

Superb food and excellent friendly service. Good sized sharing portions, excellent value. Dog friendly and very clean

The perfect place for a double date night! The food was sublime, we practically ordered the whole menu as we couldn't decide! Each dish was as delicious as the next. There wasn't one meal or side which disappointed, it was all equally as amazing as the last. The service was incredible, we were made to feel at home and the atmosphere was buzzing. They even have quiz cards on the table which we played all night. It's thoughtful touches like that which really make The Windmill Inn stand out. By far, our new favourite place to be.

What a gem ! We had seen great reviews of the Windmill, so decided to give it a go and it definitely did not disappoint! As a group of 4 we spent hours playing the quiz cards they have out on the table, eating amazing food and laughing, not once did we feel rushed or like we were taking up space. 5 star service and food! The menu will make you want to order one of everything but you definitely need to leave space for the homemade ice cream and desserts, delicious. We will absolutely be back very soon to try pie night and Sunday dinner.

Amazing Sunday dinner first time we had gone to the windmill,everything was perfect will definitely be going again soon

We booked very last minute (a table of 8), expecting to be turned away but that was not the case! The food was delicious. Generous portion sizes, lots of variety and all homemade. All the staff were extremely accommodating, 10/10 for customer service (with a smile!) Would highly recommend - don’t think, just book and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Really nice food great selection with friendly staff Will definitely return

We called in 'on spec'. Not an issue. We were greeted cordially and given a pleasantly positioned table. The menu is very varied, with food to suit all tastes, it appears. The service was excellent and the food was superb. We shall certainly return, though next time I shall book to avoid disappointment, as it can be very busy.

Good honest pub grub done well.

Incredible food, everything was home made and such high quality. We had pies and pizzas and it was really good value for money. Would 100% recommend

This place is all about the quality of the food. From the moment our starters touched our tongues to the time our desert spoons were empty we were blown away by the superiority of the cuisine. The location is fine, the staff are lovely and the decor is good - but it wouldn't matter if they were not because once you're eating that's all you're interested in - company aside that is! If you love food prepared with a knowing hand then I recommend you try it for yourself and get blown away too.

Excellent food, good bar service, a lovely warm and cosy atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. Will certainly be going again.

We came to visit this restaurant and the food was so good as normal we both had pizzas, however the tapas never fails to disappoint! Drinks came quick and the waitress was really friendly couldn’t fault any of the staff working.

Excellent Sunday Lunch. Staff were so busy but still super smily and helpful Food was great including veggie pie roast option. Couldn't fault any of our 3 courses, all very made and we thought good value for money

Fabulous Sunday lunch at the Windmill ..great food, nice environment and brilliant staff… would highly recommend

Just back from the Windmill, amazing GF tapas, crispy beef, mushrooms stroganoff, bbq pork belly, potas bravas and slaw. For dessert we had lemon posset and poached pineapple with sorbet. Served by the lovely Millie. We also took away 4 pies for the family to try. A really lovely lunch. Thank you.

The best food me and my partner have had in a while. Very friendly staff and location are easy to find. Decor was stunning, and the inside joke on toilet doors to refer to men's and women made me chuckle.

Very nice clean place, very nice enviroment, very polite staff, awesome food, service and excellent ale! Exceptional in all counts 👏 Would definitely recommend "Mad Doug" ale and the "salt and Chillie chips" as they were unexpectedly insanely good, along with the rest of the dishes we tried. Credit to the chef A***** and the Gent who served me.

Came in on a Friday afternoon with my fiancé for lunch and we were not disappointed. Greeted by the lovely Millie who talked us through the menu and what they recommend. The menu was quite large with different inspirations from British cuisine to Japanese inspired dishes. We went for 3 large plates and 2 sides between the two of us and walked out very pleased. The brisket fell apart beautifully, the Spanish prawns were flavourful, the teriyaki chicken strips were perfect with such an intense flavour, the kimchi loaded fries were such an incredible combination, however my fiancé said his only criticism food wise was there wasn’t enough kimchi) and the halloumi fries were the best we’ve ever tasted. Everything was so fresh and absolutely perfect! The only thing I will say is that the service was slow but that was clearly due to lack of staff. There were only 2 servers working and doing an amazing job however another pair of hands would’ve helped as we were waiting quite a while to order. Overall a wonderful experience and we most definitely be back again!

My husband and I went for Wednesday pie night. The food was amazing, and the service was fantastic. The trivia cards on the table are a great touch as we laughed so much. But the food…. Delicious

Excellent food, attentative staff couldn't fault the place in anyway.

Had an absolutely amazing Sunday lunch here. I do go as regular as possible because this place is just amazing. It’s like a little gem and Sophie and Steve who run the place absolutely amazing, very attentive along with all of their team and we will always come back

Lively bar and restaurant with a good atmosphere. We chose our dinner from the FEAST menu - larger portions of tapas style food. We went for Chinese dishes and loved them all. Highly recommended
