Windmill Inn in Sefton

Came for tea for my mum’s birthday and wasn’t disappointed. Visited before for drinks but this was my first for food. The price of the food is extremely reasonable but certainly no reflection in the quality of the food. All meals were excellent. Very tasty and fresh. We had home made chicken and black pudding pie, chicken tikka masala and fish and chips. All delicious. The bar is well staffed and staff are pleasant and helpful. The place was very busy so that speaks for itself. Didn’t have to wait long for our food. Would definitely return again.

Absolutely beautiful meal, very friendly staff and hilarious! Amazing experience. Very festive for Xmas. Brilliant

Second time here this month and we really enjoyed our food again The salt n pepper chicken is delicious and I could literally live on that alone Emma is a fantastic barmaid and very attentive Best of all its dog friendly and our Timmy loves the dog menu

Very disappointing visit to this pub, especially after reading the fabulous reviews. Went with a friend for an early tea. To start we had the bacon & black pudding stack & the garlic & stilton mushrooms.....both not good, very thin sliced black pudding & not a great sauce either, you couldn't taste any Stilton in the mushrooms & think they forgot to toast the ciabatta. For mains we chose pie of the day & We were told they'd only got 4 portions of the "pie of the day" left so we thought it must be good. How wrong were we, it was supposed to be steak & kidney, but it was filled mainly with kidney & a few pieces of steak, all of which were tough. We did eat it, but it was so chewy & wasn't nice. When the barman came to clear our plates we told him that the steak really needed longer cooking, a very rude reply back "I don't cook it, & I'll pass the message on, no apology, or I'm sorry to hear that, basically he wasn't bothered. So as my title says......go somewhere else

Absolutely lovely food and very friendly staff such a warm welcome from the start.. the food was the best pub grub I’ve ever tasted great atmosphere and lovely pub

Popped into The Windmill last Friday evening with my partner to meet a few friends. We wasn't planning on staying long but the overall vibe, having the open mic and the people was so friendly. I also need to give you credit on your staff as we was looked after with a friendly smile all night by Mark (and i think her name was Katie). From being a meeting point to spending our night here says it all. Will most definitely be back! Mark & Joan x

Had a Sunday dinner here. Pre-booked as requested and suggested but not compulsory. No long wait for food.Hot food and sizeable portion excellent price. Home made Yorkshire puds very tasty. Super dog friendly. Independent pub and unique feel.Would recommend,will visit again.

My wife and myself ate here for the duration of our five day stay in Southport.We started on Sunday with their Sunday lunch, wow what a meal. I had the roast beef and my wife had the chicken, both meals were faultless and very filling.Over the following four days we tried the beefburgers, the steaks. the pie and the chilli con carnie. Not one meal was disappointing, from the taste to the presentation and the portions. My only personal tiny complaint is the chips were a little to crispy for my taste. My wife thought that they were perfect. The beer was excellent and the staff were great very friendly.

Absolutely gorgeous the steak was cooked perfect and the chicken panini was loverly and deep filled would definitely come again the staff are really friendly

Ordered a large and medium roast beef Sunday lunch. Absolutely beautiful and reasonably priced. The staff are very welcoming and can have a laugh with them. Felt very comfortable.

We headed in for some lunch to get out of the cold. I had a fantastic spaghetti bolognese. It was good to hear the meat came from the local butchers, it was clear from the taste it was quality. The coffee was excellent, rich and aromatic, perfect for a delightful pick-me-up in the colder weather. It was good to see they have been working on the disabled toilet, they've done a great job. Look forward to returning soon.

Called in for Sunday lunch before leaving for the railway station during our weekend trip to Southport. The Windmill is a traditional , friendly and spacious pub with a warm and attentive manager. Ordered the large Sunday lunches and they were superb. Fresh, plentiful and well cooked with brilliant service. It seems the pub cater for festive events, including Carol singing, wreath making and brass band which seems innovative and family friendly for the Christmas run up. Great prices and comfortable inside. Would recommend to all.

We were a large group and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. The service was great and the food was beautiful. The portions were generous and everyone cleared their plates!

Friendly welcome again here I love this place, lovely barmaid friendly and welcome . If I wasn't on my own I would of eaten here as I enjoyed the meal last time . Lovely to sit outside or inside

We took a group of thirty from our Friendship group, to The Windmill in Southport today, and it was worthwhile braving the rain for. Food was perfect, and the staff went above and beyond for us. To quote Arnie, "We'll be back.

Great pub with excellent food and service. Very friendly staff, food came out quickly, and a very good menu. Great outdoor space and lovely inside.

Enjoyable meal and drink. Very reasonable prices, and reduced prices for regulars. Last orders before 7.30pm though, Popular place

Great pub lunch enjoyed by all of us. We went as a party of 3, along with our dog. Excellent food and service from Emma, and a cheeky cocktail! Will definitely return when we're in Southport again.
