Ian Bougen 21 reviews £30–40 Went valentine evening booked in advance to be called following day to bring booking forward as unlike there booking app they stop serving at 20.00, so rather than 20.30 we change to 19.30 on arrival we were told most of the menu was unavailable on having to both choose an alternative we were given miniscule portions and having to wait a an eternity for our sweet. Doubt that we will return. Food: 2/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 3/5

Just had xmas dinner here, who ever is charge of the food needs to do their job properly. The Vegatables are the worse I have ever had. No proper service .cheap bit of paper cloth on table and lack of attention for cutlery. Gents toilet door inside needs a coat of paint. This place is slowly getting a really bad reputation. please do not send a standard reply.just do your job!!!

We have been going to the Windmill Dent on for three months and have no problems with the food at all. But we went on the 10/12/2023 for lunch and were disappointed. The meat was scrag ends the vegetables were cold and the plats were cold. but worst of all was the member of staff serving the food he was well past being hygienic his overall looked like he had been emptying the bins it was filthy.I am not normally a complainer but this needed to be highlighted. it will not stop us using the Windmill nothing can be perfect all the time but hygiene must come first at all times.

Absolutely disgusting, we went here at 5pm and the food was cold on the carvery so was my fish, chips and peas when they arrived. The batter was pale in colour and I could see the fish through the batter, the chips were Lukewarm and the peas were cold and chewy. My husband said the Turkey was ok, the roast potatoes were like rocks and he was unable to cut through them. Everything was lukewarm and unfit for human consumption. I’m surprised the environment agency hasn’t shut this place down.

My wife and I travelled over to Tameside from Skegness for a family funeral. We entered the Windmill at 1130 to be told that breakfast service was over, even though the servery had eggs, sausage, bacon and baked beans still sitting there. We ordered coffee and said we would wait till 12 o clock for a carvery. Ay 12 o clock, we went to queue at the carvery, which still had the remnants of the breakfast service on show. At 1215, we were told by the catering staff, that we count could get our carvery, even though there was no sign of gravy, cranberry sauce etc. being the first two people in the queue, you would expect the food to be red hot! you would be wrong. Mash potatoes, tepid, carrots tepid, sprouts tepid, cauliflower tepid, roasties looked as though they been cooked earlier then warmed up, in fact, the only thing that was at the correct temperature, was the turkey that I chose. My wife and I regularly dine at the Jug and Bottle near Grimsby, which is a Stonehouse pub. We have never ever had to complain about anything, the food and the service are both excellent. As for The Windmill, we will never dine there again and I would suggest you get rid of the area manager for that pub, as the present one isnt doing there job properly.

My daughters and myself wanted a early Christmas meal. We opted for the carvery with pigs n blankets. Ordered on the app with no problems. All three meats were lovely and moist plenty on your plate, all the veg was cooked perfect. Can say we enjoyed the food, The staff were very friendly Craig on the meats was a great guy he was talking to each one of us while he served. Emily who brought our drinks was very helpful. A great experience from this place. 25/11/23

Breakfast 9,30 sorry no bacon,no tomatoes, no mushrooms, delivery has not turned up , wow then you can't possibly open for breakfast full price ? Wasted morning felt sorry for the poor girl behind the bar

Great quality food and amazing service from the manager, it made my experience so much better, had an amazing time.

Visited for lunch and had the Carvery. The food was delicious, good amount of meat and a large variety of vegetables. The building was not crowded and the staff were friendly and interested that you have a great experience. Especially JP on the Carvery who...

Really nice food and the carvery is lovely really recommend the carvery as you have a lot of choice

Thought we would go for a family Sunday carvery and it was chaos. You mainly pay for the meat and the slices were so small it was ridiculous not even a full slice The que for the carvery was so busy and everything was empty...

Lovely carvery and the roast potatoes were particularly extravagant. Good atmosphere with football on and empty plates all round.

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. I ordered through Uber eats, requested no tomato’s as I am allergic. Of course the order came with tomato’s which could have ended very badly for me. The breakfast included 3 rashers of bacon, it came with no bacon at...

ordered off uber eats. asked for no tomatos as boyfriend is allergic came with tomatos. hash browns were mushy. hardly any beans. sausages were awful. french toast was more like a brick couldve honestly knocked someone out with it. they also had no bacon which...

The food was delicious, hot and plenty of choice. Thoroughly enjoyed it, would definitely recommend

Just had a delicious carvery at the Windmill. We were served by Holly who was lovely. Highly recommended.

Was looking very forward to a carvery and all the food looked lovely especially the roast meats but the beef was tough and had a lot of gristle, the roast ham was fatty and the roast potatoes were tough, everthing was only luke warm instead...

The food was ok. It needed flavour. It all was all bland even the gravy. A great selection of vegetables - just no flavour. It’s a shame. We would have loved to have given a good review.

Visited the Windmill with my wife on a Sunday afternoon for some carvery and a few drinks. Will ABSOLUTELY be coming again and making this a regular occurrence. To start the staff were absolutely fantastic, Shaunie the new gm as an absolute star and super...

Went here today after not going for quite a few years,I can’t believe it’s still open,the place was filthy,we got there at exactly 12oclock as they opened and under the table at our feet was food and the carpet was disgusting! Just not good enough,I...

Waited over 50 mins for two burgers none of the staff seemed to care and when approached acted like it was a stress they didn’t want to deal with. Will not be coming again 👍. Manager did apologise but no refund offered

Disgraceful service, no mash, swede mash , peas or gravy, waited over 20 minutes waiting for them to be restocked, gave up in the end. Roast potatoes were soggy, beef was like leather not even sliced just burned chunks. The server made us wait before...

Myself and my daughters called to The windmill for tea time after a busy day at work and school. Although busy Service was prompt and with a smile by the polite and chatty Amanda. The food was fab and did not disappoint.

We go here at least once a month. Always been a good carvery. today, it was terrible. Mash had lumps in it, roast potatoes were anaemic, and worst of all, they were sitting in a LOT of oil. They weren't crispy, there was only a...

We go to the windmill because we enjoy speaking with Maggie when she is free. She is a great asset to you company.

We are regulars at the Windmill and would like to say it is a pleasure to be served by Maggie. She is so friendly and takes the time to chat. She treats you like a person rather than just a customer. She has a good...

Another good meal in the windmill, all of us enjoyed what we ordered,, and great service as always from Holly,

Great food at great prices staff are pleasant very clean and tidy never issues here even on busy times

We come in this morning for breakfast. Food was nice. Gaby and Kertis we’re very friendly and give lovely service x

Friendly staff got us a table for 2 on a busy Saturday evening. We enjoyed excellent burgers, well priced drinks and then...some of the best swing jazz on the Manchester scene. Totally blown away by the Gelatos jazz band. Please come and enjoy!!

As usual Maggie is exceptional at her job and always makes you feel welcome. We would also like to thank Josh for his help when we had a small query, he sorted it out.He is doing an excellent job as supervisor

Went yesterday with my family the food was really great and Maggie the carver is very good always friendly with smiling face and pleasant manners

Just had lovely Sunday dinner here, was waited on by the lovely Amanda who was very helpful, will definitely be returning.

Went here on a Monday lunchtime. Had the carvery. Must say, it was lovely. Roast beef was very lean and tasty. Roast potatoes to die for. Simply a must.!!

No carvery, no fish, no cheese for pizza. Waited an hour for salad. Onion rings never came. Had to ask 3 different servers just to get one apple pie. Altogether took 2 hours for a main and one pudding. Never had such poor service anywhere....

Went windmill with family and was served by the lovely Maggie such a lovely woman and couldn’t do enough for us always has a smile on her face everytime we come. Food was lovely and Will definitely visit again

We arrived and stood by the ‘please wait to be seated’ sign for 5 minutes before asking a member of staff if there were any tables. He was very rude, and just said ‘over there alright?’. We sat down and no one came over to...

This is a friendly pub, part of a chain of pubs. It serves pub grub and specializes in pizza, burghers and a carvery. It's a regular meeting place for me and my friends; the staff are friendly and the food and drink prices are reasonable.

I went in on a Saturday and it was busy. I think that is always a good sign the food was amazing and the staff were absolutely brilliant I couldn't fault anything about it. I love going in the windmill.

Where do i start this pub is has been the heart of the community for many years and usually an enjoyable experiance . The last few months has seen numerous people walk out and refuse to come back in till they change this shambles ....

Lovely friendly staff who treat you like a member of their own family. Great carvery, even ordering the smaller of the options was more than filling enough for me (adult male). Well done to Lizzie the landlady and her team.

Just had the meat feast calzone . The dough was soft and the filling was packed. All I can say is amazing ,loved it. Sorry for the picture but it's in my belly 😆

Popped in with my friend for a glass or two, was served by the lovely Philip very attentive and polite gentleman very friendly to talk to. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants a service with a smile

Came in again on Saturday the carvery was lovely. Laura served us and was very attentive and helpful. My children love her. Look forward to our next visit.
