Windmill in Staffordshire Moorlands

Nice decor, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and the food is great, large portions, great value for money

Lovely place staff friendly would highly recommend

Really great place to have a laugh with friends

Amazing staff and lovely food, always very welcome

Came in today on Thursday 17th for lunch . Lilly was amazing and the food was fantastic

Sadly a family members funeral, love food and was a cold day, beautiful and warm really nice pub 😊

Lovely lunch with my sisters enjoyed very much will definitely return

Very busy I was with my WI club we had a good time, really nice staff there. Food yummy 😋

Lovely food .but If I went with my fussy husband . They wasn't anything he would have eat .

Very nice friendly pub, good food at a good price and an excellent selection of beers that are kept well.

This is the first time I've been in for a couple of years and it's had a refurb and looks unreal! It looks stunning inside and a real cosy pub! The staff were so friendly and service was extremely fast! It was so busy for a Wednesday night and it's nice to see and the kind of atmosphere you want when you nip to the pub for a couple. 100% will be returning soon, really impressed! 👏🏻

Coming from essex for a stay over at alton towers, we decided to venture out for food, to find this absolute hidden Gem.... THE WINDMILL, the atmosphere was so chilled, the food was fantastic I actually got my medium rare stake, down in essex they always get it wrong 😂, to top it of awesome service by the staff, especially MEG she was awesome a real credit to the venue... Thanks, we shall definitely be back 100%..

good food at reasonable prices.

Very good. Friendly, obliging staff

One of my favourite places for food and drink, thank you Zoe and team for always delivering a fantastic service and experience :)

Great food reasonable priced had sneaky lunch sirloin steak chips peas recommend it

Lovely food, decor and service, live local but first visit for food would definitely go again 😁

We went for lunch. Lovely food and great service. Thank you 😊

Came to the windmill and ordered food. We were not given a courtesy check and at the end of the meal when the plates were cleared, still, we were not asked how the meal was at all. Ordered the gammon which came with an egg, the egg was hard and I wanted them to change it to a runny one but as there was no courtesy check I couldn’t ask this. The gammon was white rather than pink and had a funny taste so I only ate the end and left the whole gammon steak, again as there was no courtesy check and no one asked how the meal was at the end, I was unable to explain this to anyone. Overall I am disappointed with this experience and feel as though it was a waste of money. There was no interest from the staff as to if the meals were enjoyed.

Been here several times including a family function and every time it's been great. Friendly staff, brilliant service and food really can't fault it. Definitely will visit again and would recommend it to anyone.

Everything was very good as usual

Great food, price, staff and atmosphere.

Lovely staff. Lovely food. 2 selected meals for £14.99. Proud to call it our local.

8 months passed since my initial review and requires and update. Menu has taken a nose dive, quite limited and portion sizes reduced. Family and friends had a range of dishes and were disappointed. Not in a rush to eat here again

Marvellous place. Lovely food and amazing staff.

We visited The Windmill on 26th April 2024 for lunch. My parents and I had such a lovely time and the food was absolutely yummy! Big compliments to the chef👍🏼; the soup of the day (Winter green veg soup with the foccicia bread) was delicious, the fish and chips was cooked to perfection and the fruit crumble was divine! 😋 Very affordable prices, friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere; we will definitely be returning for lunch at The Windmill.😍 Highly recommended. 🤩

Great family place, friendly staff and great food. Was very busy. Definitely come back

Katsu chicken is the best but no choice to pick here to say how good it is

Lovely food and staff are very friendly, no issues with parking

Stopped off for a quick meal on my way home. It was alright, a little busy but atmosphere was okay.

Go regularly, close to work can get busy.. which is a good thing!

Went to the Windmill for something to eat and tried the new specials. We had the mussels linguine and the marmalade glazed pork steak. Both were really nice and would recommend. Service and everything else was excellent as always.

excellent service and food was amazing

Make you very welcome keep there real ale excellent being a X cellar man when barrels where wooden and 36 gallons.

Great pub with a great selection of beers and it’s always fun to visit in music night

Popped in for a Sunday relax, brilliant, Jake sorted the Christmas meal order, great value offers, all the staff were efficient, helpful and friendly, can't fault it, Tom n Rie

Great service, chef ely was very nice.

Lovely Sunday roast! Food was lovely, quick service with a smile! Will definitely come back! 5 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Popped in for a light lunch. Southern fried chicken bbq wraps all round. Nice pint of tribute too

Last year, my family used The Windmill as the venue for my mum's wake (as she used to work there!). Zoe and Dot provided all the food requests that we asked for, plus many things more. The whole family and everyone who attended commented on the service, professionalism, and atmosphere on the day. Recently, due to a last-minute change to my dad's Christmas plans, I called on Zoe at the 11th hour to help him out with providing a meal. She did so without hesitation and with kindness, showing a true Christmas spirit. I highly recommend this establishment for a meal or drink in general. It is always so clean and the service is friendly. The decor is very appealing too. Well done, and thanks again!

Great pub 👌 and good quality food if needed

Family Christmas meal, 🎄 absolutely amazing best Christmas Day enjoyed everything about our magical day. Truly the best.

Great atmosphere, lovely food, and friendly staff. Would recommend!

Lively local pub with friendly staff, good food and a decent selection of beers on tap.

First visit here. 16 of us for Sunday lunch. Great place, friendly staff & couldn’t fault the food! Would highly recommend

Office Christmas meal. Excellent service. Food was lovely and piping hot on arrival.

Very very busy but managed get a table. Good choice of beers, got served pretty quickly 👍

Nice pub with good food. Bar service a bit slow.

Chose from the seniors menu really good value for money. Small portions but ample.

Really enjoyed lunch here today. Ladies who do lunch x

Regular visitor to the Windmill. Staff always friendly, food is great and the Open mic night is really good. Recommend you book a table. They are always busy, but don't let that put you off. Service and food always 100%.

Great place to go with family and friends. Wonderful place, great atmosphere, lovely staff, good food.

Went here for a family meal, good place keeps several traditional beers - good! Don't be tempted by the ' special ' steak which 3 of us had and were just gristle - not good.

Really enjoyed our first visit to The Windmill, Jake and staff made us very welcome and the meal was delicious, great beer too

Staff are great, good place to come for food and drink

Regular visitor, food and service outstanding as usual. Cannot recommend Windmill highly enough, I always walk away with a happy tummy and feeling valued as a customer.

Great pub with good food and atmosphere... staff are 💯

Came for the Women's world cup (we lost), Came back for the atmosphere.

Good quality at a reasonable price

Well worth a visit. The food is really good with a good choice. Prices are good too.

The food was almost cold.. fish, not much taste, mashed potatoes were far too stiff. Not enough moisture in them, tasted ok . Peas were nice but all the food came almost cold.

Food very average. Fish and chips with scampi. Made pieces of scampi to required amount with chicken nuggets. Didnt fool anyone!!!

Great place chilled atmosphere and the food is very good also

Have recently visited a few times, had several meals, all of which were excellent. Staff are fabulous and very welcoming. Highly recommend The Windmill Pub x

Fantastic friendly staff, lovely food

I was a visitor for a friends 80 lovely place good service full pub will go back.

This is a favourite place I go for a meal and catch-up with my sister's

Friendly staff good food wonderful atmosphere

My boyfriend and I popped in for a bite to eat for lunch on Sunday. The service and food were amazing! Will definitely return

Good service, friendly, enjoyed the food, reasonable and comfortable

All good very polite & friendly

I visited tonight for the first time and the food was delicious, the staff were excellent and the pub was beautiful with a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be visiting again!

Very popular venue. The food is good. Had the Fillet of beef burger, which went down a treat. The good lady had the BBQ burger and throughly enjoyed it. Downside was, she was that full, she didn't want a pudding which meant I couldn't have one either. The service as always spot on. We will be coming back soon

Did not have a meal but the windmill was clean and the people clean and pleasant

A traditional looking pub very much more for older families not to my personal taste found the restaurant tables too close to each other for my comfort and it was uncomfortably warm in the pub. It's not a negative just a personal view as my family loved the pub and this was their second visit. Team was nice who was working my partner family enjoyed their food I didn't eat myself.

Nice place, nice atmosphere, food was average

Nice pub with friendly atmosphere. Attentive staff. Food was ok. Nothing to shout about.

Great local pub, always a warm welcome, good food and great selection of drinks. Would definitely recommend

Didn't think too much of the place when I saw it from outside, but nicely surprised when got inside of the windmill, very nicely decorated & the food was stunning, well worth a visit to the windmill

Staff are very helpful, chefs are brilliant, food fantastic

Traditional pub food reasonably priced...

Fantastic food at the windmill today all freshly cooked warm and very tasty . Coffee and cake delicious. Staff all helpful and friendly good offers and very reasonable prices definitely recommend nice atmosphere

Beer not the best ambience not the best service not the best so a great experience will not be going again just not for us

It seemed a nice place difficult to add a review as was attending a wake .Would like to go again under normal circumstances

Nice atmosphere and one of the nicest Greene King pubs I've been. The food was nice, more impressed with the main than the starter. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Nice friendly atmosphere excellent polite service

great value for money, nice food, great service

Good service we all ordered burgers but they were a little dry seemed quite busy,will not be going back.

Came last night for a meal with my partner. We frequently visit and have never been disappointed before! We both ordered the katsu curry and the rice was cold, I couldn't eat it. The sauce was jelly-like. I left half of my meal and when the waitress came to collect the plates I explained why I had not eaten. She didn't give much or a response and nothing was done to resolve the issue. We were really disappointed as the food is usually always 10/10 😔

We came for my granddaughters birthday ,the food was lovely we all enjoyed it ,will definitely be coming again

This is a really excellent pub. Staff brilliant 👏 Food is very high quality, we have never had a bad meal.

First visit here for a presentation evening, popular busy pub, serving food and live band on. Spacious inside with a big carpark, will revisit in the daylight and try the food.
