The Windmill in Shropshire

Food was lovely - great home made onion chutney with liver pate starter. We had the ham and eggs and home made pie both were very good

Stopped off on our journey back home to Sussex, after a wonderful 5 nights in Wales. What a fabulous little find this place was. All of us had fish n chips with the homemade tartare sauce, and none of us were disappointed. The portions were huge, so huge that we were still full when we got home 4.5 hrs later. Will definitely be returning next year on our next Welsh adventure!

Fabulous beef sirloin Sunday lunch, the beef was a good thick slice which was cooked to perfection and accompanied with a great selection of tasty vegetables. The starters were also delicious and just the right portion size. We were pleased we managed to leave room for the desserts which were homemade and the bread n butter pudding was like my Gran used to make.

Windmill Inn..Delicious top quality food 👌..Amazing views from the gardens. Welcomed by friendly staff . Dog friendly. Highly recommended.

The Windmill at Rowton - Shropshire I had need to go on a little trip to Welshpool this past Sunday, and being quite a drive from England over the border into Wales, went with a friend to keep me company 'and fully alert' on what was a six hour round trip. On the way to our destination, we spotted The Windmill at Rowton, the beautifully decorated building catching our eye because it was so colourfully festooned with flowering plants. It looked stunning. We immediately hatched a plan to stop on the way back. We are glad that we did-what a great find. We were not to be disappointed - this is a gem of a place: wonderfully tended, super friendly owners and staff, delicious food and superb gardens and views. We found it to be, quite literally, superb in every way! If you are ever in the area, do be sure to call in because if your experience is as good as ours, you will definitely not be disappointed. To be honest, I have become a tad disillusioned with pubs in my own area of late with so many offering poor service, filthy interiors, indifferent staff members and substandard food, which is why I am raving about this one. Thank you, Peter and Jane, shame you are not closer, for if you were, I could frequent your gem of an establishment more often. So, in a word, Superb - our visit made our trip out on Sunday all the more special, our Sunday lunch, complete with the best sherry trifle that I have tasted in a long while, made by Jane, was a treat of treats.

What a beautiful spot. You can't tell how lovely it is from the outside, but is has a lovely garden with great views. The food is really tasty - I had a lasagna and it is probably the best pub lasagna that I've had for many years. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. Would highly recommend it.

A very friendly and welcoming pub The food was excellent and big portions Definitely recommend this delightful country pub Would highly recommend some of Jane's homemade desserts there where delicious

Four of us met for Sunday lunch and were not disappointed! Excellent food and desserts served in a relaxing and welcoming environment enhanced by the attentive owner, clearly proud of the family connection with the pub, over decades. Spectacular views from the gardens. Would highly recommend .

Wow!!! We stubbled across this amazing pub after a day out and what a find!!! The service was impeccable from the moment we stepped through the door. So incredibly friendly and super accommodating perfect for us with a toddler! We ordered roast dinners all round and were so impressed by the quality and standard the perfect roast and although totally stuffed we still shared a home made pud and washed down with a great standard of wines! Already planning our next trip The Windmill is about 40 mins from us but 100% worth the drive for such a fab pub and experience x

Delightful service, delicious menu and a genuine warm welcome. The is quintessential British food and hospitality at its low key best.

Thank you to the staff because we were really well looked after on our recent trip here. We went with our 18-month old son and they had helpfully sorted the high chair and some little cutlery. The staff were friendly to all of us and very sweet with our son. We both had the roast beef which was excellent and they brought a few bits and some gravy for our boy so he shared some of ours, and he had some ice cream when we had dessert and at no charge. It just made us feel really welcome there. The roast beef was excellent and the veg perfectly cooked and tasty. We will definitely return.

Driven past this eatery many time and often said we should give it a try!! Well we called in for Sunday lunch on our way to Powys! Didn’t book but the friendly staff set up a table for us! And the food! Yum not disappointed Infact it was delicious and much more so than we expected! My husband had the tomato and wild garlic soup to start and I had the Goats cheese and pesto stuffed mushroom 😋 delicious! To follow we chose the beef and wow! What a great choice! It was absolutely delicious! No room for pud but we will definitely be returning

Peter and his team provide a warm and welcoming environment, with fabulous food and great service. We had to add to our booking at short notice and nothing was too much trouble. We had a lovely Sunday lunch and we were really looked after. The Sunday lunches here are always the best which is why we always make a point to visit here if passing through as sadly we are not local. Highly recommend and can’t wait until our next visit!

Such a lovely family ran pub! Had a gorgeous evening meal by the fire, even returned the next day for some cake! Will definitely be coming back to Shropshire and back to The windmill for some more delicious food and stunning views. Thank you

As we have been before and had an excellent meal, we thought we would go again. Meal was ok wouldn't say brilliant. As advertise it said lamb and mint sauce which we had to ask for. Pork and apple sauce like before we had to ask for. Don't really cater for children other than the set Sunday roast menu. Not all children eat a roast dinner. So my son got himself upset because of this, every place we eat do cater for a wide range of choice of meals for a child first place not too. The Yorkshire pudding where frozen ones not homemade. The red cabbage that was under the meat we had to ask if it had onions in s my husband has a fodmap diet and can't eat onion the young waitress couldn't answer because the boss that cook it wasnt there today so nobody knew. My husband is also lactose intolerant so we asked for lactose free cream or ice cream but they don't have it according to the waitress that served us. I had a tradional sherry trifle there was no sherry in my trifle, it was more like bananas,cake and carton custard. I did eat it yes. But was left very disappointed. As a chef myself didn't impress me at all. I also thought all eateries had to ask about dietary requirements when showing us to the table. They certainly weren't on the menu or even offered

A Basil Fawlty moment to start with when Mine Host questioned our request to replace an unopened bottle of wine that was distinctly warm to the touch. After deciding to stay the food was good if a bit pricey. Service was variable. Most of the waitresses looked as if they would rather be somewhere else.

Pet friendly and a lovely place to enjoy a relaxed lunch. A bit pricey especially the wine , but generous portions and attentive staff.

Absolutely fantastic service, surroundings and food. We booked in for Sunday lunch, great choice of meats and friend requested a starter which wasn’t on the menu but was accommodated

Had a delicious gluten free turkey meal last night at The Windmill. Staff very friendly and helpful.

7 of us had lunch here today. From the moment we entered the property the Host welcomed us at the door, knew who we were although our first visit, made us so welcome and he and his wife gave us the best service we have received for a long time together with every one of the waitresses. The food was home cooked beautiful Sunday roast and the vegetables enough to feed 20,people for 7 of us. The wife made all the deserts of which we were spoilt for choice, superb. Likewise the starters. Defiantly recommend and can’t wait to return when next time I need a huge hungry appetite before arriving. Well,done to host and hostess and all your team.

Called in on a Sunday afternoon for lunch . A very friendly welcome And we were shown to our table . The food was absolutely amazing. I had roast turkey and my other half had roast beef . Everything was cooked to perfection . Pudding choice was plentiful and our choices of cheesecake and meringue were both delicious . We will definitely be back !

Myself and my husband booked the windmill inn for Sunday lunch, as we have never been here before. On arrival we were greeted and seated at our pre booked table. The surroundings were homely and immaculately clean. All of the food that we ordered was above expectations and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back in the future!

Enjoy the roaring log fire, sit down in a superb dining area with contemporary decor that matches the historic features of The Windmill and relax in a lovely country inn. It was the perfect venue on a damp mizzling day. Choose from a truly tempting menu and then look forward to the professional care of attentive but discreet waitresses. All these ‘ingredients’ were just waiting for the ‘icing on the cake’ which was the impressive food that followed - with our guests starters ranging from Butternut Squash and Garlic Mushrooms to Smoked Salmon & Prawns. Mmm. Succulent Roast Beef and a delicious Bream we’re two of the delights before choosing Rowton Mess and Traditional Sherry Trifle- from a fairly extensive list of delicious delights! A lovely experience! Great value for money- tasty top quality food in a comfortable venue.

We love to have Sunday lunch at the Windmill Inn. The slow cooked beef is to die for! The lunch and dinner menu are equally as good and prepared with attention to detail. It’s wonderful place to also pop in for a drink and admire the amazing views at the rear towards Nesscliffe. The staff are always friendly and happy to have a sociable chat.

Ten of us dined here this evening. The meals were excellent; delicious home cooked food, beautifully presented. The Staff are so friendly, the service excellent. As for the ice cream, it was to die for.

Called in ,in passing for Sunday lunch. Nice lady said yes we can squeeze us in so long as we were away in time for the next people. Went to the bar to be told by the manager if he’d had his way we wouldn’t have been served! He then proceeded to get impatient with a couple and their dogs The young serving staff and meal were very good however

Excellent service and food in the evening. Homemade pie and chunky chips. Pub very clean and tidy. Plenty of room and dog friendly

Stopped in today with my family and two pet dogs, as we walked in we asked the lady behind the bar if dogs were allowed inside and she said yes and took us to a table to be seated. Then the rude and aggressive manager came marching in shouting at us that dogs can’t be in that room and to get out!!! We tried to explain that the lady behind the bar had told us to sit there but he just apologised to the other guests and told us to get out! I will never be returning and I think you should train your staff on manners and where dogs can and can’t go in your pub! we spent our money at another pub that was welcoming and friendly.

Very warm welcome, excellent steak & ale pies and fantastic draught ales. Definitely worth a stop, stop, start stopping, STOP!

Phoned to check The Windmill was dog friendly, all good to reserved a table. Arrived and beer was local and good. Sunday lunch was succulent and hot, a proper roast dinner, not a car very. Had rhubarb Crumble for desert, excellent.

Really good Sunday Lunch on a Sunday evening. Great veggies and choice of meats. All the usual trimmings cooked just like your Granny would make it. Even though we were later eating it was all still very fresh and tasty. The pub has an old fashioned feel inside with plenty of space and traditional furniture. It really felt like eating with family. Staff and landlord were all great. What a pleasant stop, highly recommended.

Fine pub: excellent beer, good food, particularly the enormous and delicious pork chops on the Specials. Attractive beer garden too, but sadly we visited on a rainy day, but then it is always good to have a reason to return.

We stopped at this busy pub hoping to get lunch and were delighted with the warm welcome and how they managed to squeeze us in on a Sunday at 13.30! Lovely sirloin beef with fat and served pink. My husband enjoyed the salmon. We had starters and main but couldn’t manage a pud, but they did look good. Definitely will return!!

Stopped for Sunday lunch. £18.95 for one slice of fatty beef, 3 hard roast potatoes and some veg was extremely expensive. £12.50 for a kids meal for a 3 year old was extortionate but no other options available. Either price or portion size needs to be reconsidered. We cooked a meal on arrival back home as we left the restaurant still hungry. Children's meals on average are priced at £6-9, the quality and portion size did not reflect the £12.50 price tag. We left wishing we had gone elsewhere. Staff and setting pleasant.

What a wonderful little find, a proper country pub that hasn't been over developed and isn't disappearing up its own a**e. Staff are lovely, food is good honest pub fayre, and they're very dog friendly to cap it all, definitely a five star.

Stopped here whilst passing through. Lovely attentive staff, great atmosphere and decor. Homemade soup and cheesy garlic bread was very good. Mains we had fish and chips- massive! Also had baked ham, egg and chips. Again great potion size. No room for the homemade dessert! Good cask ales and selection of wines. Will visit again if in the area.

Booked for lunch. Warm welcome. Good food. Attentive friendly staff. I had the nut roast - can be a bit hit and miss but it was very tasty. With new potatoes, green veg and a delicious sauce, cooked to perfection. Portion size about right. Not...

Food is always great and all the staff very welcoming. We keep coming back because of the all round experience of visiting, whether it be for a few drinks or a lovely meal!

We read the reviews before we booked this pub on our way to Wales. The Windmill inn did not disappoint, one of the best Roast dinners we have eaten in a pub. The owners were lovely so friendly. Very quick service as well

Came here for Sunday lunch. One of most delicious we ever had. Generous portions, plenty of choice of meats, 6 different vegetables. Friendly staff and our dog was welcome inside too.

Came here before my friends wedding. The location is nice and welcoming and the staff very friendly. The food wasn’t too memorable but it wasn’t awful either. I had the halloumi fries to start then a vegetable pie followed by cheese for pudding (the chutney...

Stumbled upon this lovely pub upon taking the wrong turning on our travels from west wales to Manchester and we are glad we did! We didn’t eat here but had a lovely glass of wine and a pint of hedgehog grog. The landlord and staff...

Disappointed today 😞 Have been for Sunday lunch on a few occasions but with a new chef (I believe) this was considerably average. Beef was very fatty, mash was lumpy and I would seriously question whether the Yorkshires are homemade, as everyone’s was uniform in...

On holiday in the area and booked for Sunday lunch and weren't disappointed ... food was delicious and service was second to none ... from the very amiable landlord to the waiting staff. It was perhaps a little more expensive than we would ordinarily pay,...

On a staycation to the area we looked up places for a Sunday Roast which is where our choice for here came up. We had a nice choice of roast meats, plenty of food on the plate. Polite staff, a very nice venue and.

Chance visit on the way out to Wales. Enjoyed the garden and the excellent sandwiches so much that we stopped on the way back 2 days later for a Sunday lunch - which was exceptional. Full Roast Beef and Turkey dinners, high quality and lots...

Excellent food, friendly service, from this family run pub . Reasonable prices .I had the haddock and it was very tasty in beer batter. I've never tasted better. It was also massive so a big appetite is required😁😁

We are visiting the area and came here for a late Sunday lunch -it was just too hot earlier on- as it was dog friendly. We had to sit inside as they don’t serve Sunday lunch outside and were able to choose where to sit....

We travelled from Wrexham after friends recommended to go. The food was amazing to say the least and service second to none. Well done Windmill Inn…we will be back! Thanks ladies 👌🏻

Haven’t been for quite some so thought we’d pop in with friends for a bite. A short menu, which is fine by us as it usually ensures freshness of fare offered. We ordered patè to start. Really not good, more akin to a sliced game...

We visited the Windmill Inn in May 2022 it was a very last minute booking and there was 23 of us, The food was absolutely incredible the service was even better and every aspect of our visit was perfect. we were staying at the campsite...

A lovely pub with nice food, good beer and very friendly staff. Rather expensive Sunday roast at nearly £18 a head is the reason for the lost star.

For what I received,I thought the meal was of Medium Quality and Expensive. Nice atmosphere. But I will not be going back, due to it being costly and not that great. Lease either so cheap food or better quality gourmet food . But middle quality...

Booked last minute and the staff were very accommodating. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and lovely food.Would definitely recommend a visit. The garden has fantastic views too which are beautiful and definitely not to be missed.

Such a lovely pub! beautiful views, friendly staff and amazing home cooked food. We had the Easter Sunday lunch and it was devine. Huge portions, well worth the money. We will definitely be back to visit 😊
