Windmill Inn in Shropshire

Great food, service and the location of the pub is just beautiful. Cosy atmosphere. The gardens at the back of the pub are spectacular with a brilliant view of the windmill. Will definitely be back here again soon 😊

We visited on Sunday 27th October 2024 as a family of 6. There was only a Sunday roast on offer, which was absolutely delicious. One vegitarian, who had a lovely nut roast alternative. Lovely homely feel to the place and to the amazing food. Thank you. We look forward to returning to try the main menu.

Table booked for 15:30 had a long wait for our table, then a long wait for someone to take our order. Food (Sunday Lunch) when it did arrive was not at the level we expected from the reviews and recommendations we'd had.

Perfect late Sunday stop off on the drive back to London. Seated a big group of us. Friendly, attentive staff. Excellent roasts. Nice chat with the owners. Can't recommend enough.

We stopped off on the way back from Wales for Sunday lunch. The owner was very accommodating and found us a table very quickly and the food was fabulous! Thank you!

Fantastic Sunday Lunch with great hand pulled local cask beer. A very friendly pub which I hope to visit again.

Have stopped here a couple of times on the way home. Great food and would highly recommend.

Fabulous food. Lovely friendly staff. Dogs welcome inside.

Fantastic find! Booked a table for two with a baby and dog last minute for Sunday lunch and we were delighted. Brilliant roast and dessert, good portion sizes too and very friendly, hospitable staff

Love this pub. They have a sensible selection of local beers and understand that a shorter menu cooked from scratch with local ingredients is ALWAYS better than a long list of redi-meals sourced from Brakes Brothers! Give it a try.

We called in for a drink in the garden on our way home from a trip to Wales. The views from the garden are beautiful, the staff were very friendly. We didn't eat but the food did look delicious. Would definitely call in again to eat.

Absolutely beautiful food. Got served very quickly and Sunday lunch came out quickly and it to die for.

Really friendly owner and staff. Quality coffee and home made cake with just stunning, tranquil views around the back. Traditional Windmill to walk up to from there too. Just amazing on a sunny day!

tasty, aesthetically presented, fresh dishes. affordable prices. atmospheric place. very nice service

Popped in here for a quick lunch and drink, lovely staff! Lovey draft cider! Welcoming of the dog and we sat outside in the little cottage. Really recommend for anyone in the area. Had cheesy garlic bread which I highly recommend!

Top notch food and choice of drinks I had steak and ale pie freshly made very tasty Wife had lasagne enjoyed that too

Amazing place. Delightful staff, incredible food and a truly wonderful beer garden. Highly recommended 👌

Need a fridge for white wine 4th time now we've had warm wine Fab location great staff spoilt by mean owners not invest in a small fridge

Describes itself perfectly in the website. The staff were so lovly and held the door when my hands where full. Plently of space for us to sit away from others with our reactive dog. Glorious views indeed! Beautifuly decorated. The steak and ale pie and fish pie were very delicious

Historic country pub in spectacular location. Traditional pub menu with GR8 flavours & friendly service. The Windmill has thankfully survived corporate buyouts over the years & been given sympathetic re-decoration only, which makes it's true rustic country pub charms standout. Highly recommended roadtrip stopoff.

A nice selection of beers, very friendly staff and stunning views from the garden

Food very good and plentiful. Excellent menu choice. Lovely all round views from garden. Staff very friendly and efficient.

Lovely walk from Alberbury, through the deer park.. across to Rowton.. lovely well presented pub.. excellent Ploughman's and Guinness.. we'll be back soon x

The was good home cooking, The service was lovely, nice to actually have someone speek to you, rather than is everything alright.

Loved it, very quirky proper pub...food was delicious

Another delicious meal today at The Windmill. Gorgeous Roast Beef Sunday Lunch followed by the most amazing Lemon Tart. Lovely to find such a wonderful place, that is so friendly and accepts dogs. Now planning another visit! Thank you again x

If you love great quality Country pubs then this is your answer. We were visiting for a wedding and have never been to the area. Thus was the warmest welcome we could have hoped for amazing food great beer and most of all extremely attentive staff that waited on us all. I have to mention we have a 1.t year old and a 4 year old and they were lovely with our children, when you have kids you know this really cannot be said for every pub especially at 5pm on a Saturday. Also, its a sunning oldie worldly pub if you like that kind of pub you wont be disappointed. If we are ever in the area again we will be back. The staff serving were an absolute credit to the pub and certainly their manager.

A lovely place to stop for some food. A warm welcome and great food. Great service. Stunning views.

Had an excellent couple of pints and an incredible Sunday roast. Lovely, welcoming pub with great views at rear.

What a lovely lunch we all had today the food was exceptional. I’ll be back next time I’m in the area

Nice place, just a quick stop as we were passing

Lovely pint of bitter and the best ploughman’s in the area.

Smashing spot for a quick stop off when driving by. When the weather is good, make sure you visit the garden seating to enjoy the views. Thank you.

Absolutely delicious. We just made it on time to order food and as you can see it’s superb. Thank you very much

Beautiful cosy inn, can feel the atmosphere of a rural establishment and its lovely. Additionally, has a brilliant beer garden out the back with a beautiful of the woodlands and fields in the distance. Food is hearthy and enjoyable, albeit a bit overdone.

Excellent food, efficient and friendly service. We really enjoyed our lunch at this lovely traditional country pub.

What a lovely place... Our group had the fish & chips and pie. Both were absolutely delicious. Very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely visit again when in the area. Highly recommend it.

Stopped of on way home and the pub was very welcoming. Landlord very knowledgeable on draught and beer garden has vest views of the countryside. Lovely place to stop off at. No food ordered

Amazing views from the beer garden and very yummy food

Nice atmosphere and views .Food portions on the smaller size especially for the price .Deserts expensive for what they are so overall if the meal was 6_8 pounds less it would have been fair priced .Nice but a lot better locally.

A really warm welcome excellent food and views to die for . can't wait to go back xxx

Stopped here on the way back from Wales ,we just wanted a little lunch, so we all had the banquets .They were nice £10 each so OK. The Sunday lunches looked good .Fantastic views from the garden, friendly staff. And a nice pint 👍

Food wonderful, service lovely, views from the beer garden amazing

Food looked good and beer was decent

Both had scampi and chips sat outside looking at amazing vista. Lovely young lady served us.speedy service too and good size portions

BEWARE: Children are not allowed to stand up in the garden or will be told to sit down immediately. If this is really the case then where is the signage stating that kids aren't allowed to walk around in the garden?? If we had seen that then at least we would have known to leave right away. Essentially what could be a lovely pub located on the road with plenty of passing trade and nice views from the garden. Sadly let down by an old man who is presumably the Landlord but clearly should not be in the trade or any customer facing role whatsoever. Everyone has bad days but this was taking the biscuit really. It was not even that busy at the time and I have worked in the trade before. On very busy days it can become stressful but you remember to stay calm. Firstly we moved from the noisy front garden as there was to much traffic passing and we could barely hear ourselves think (BH Monday traffic). I stupidly assumed that it would be ok to move tables and informed them that we had moved to the rear garden and where we were sat. This was met with clear annoyance & disapproval as it meant that he had to press 2 buttons on the till! Bit odd but I let it slide. A short while later the same man came out to bring food out to another table and was literally held up by our three year old who was walking back to our table for all of 2-3 seconds. He was just walking along the path, not saying anything or doing anything wrong. Clearly this was too much to deal with and he was told to 'go and sit down immediately'. This was deliberately said in earshot of us, his parents. How embarrasing for you??! He was simply stretching his legs after being stuck in the car and had been exploring the garden. I wonder if you would have said this if it had been another old person as they also walk a bit slower?? I very much doubt it... Our food was ok in terms of what it was and value for money and no qualms with the other staff who were perfectly polite. However this warrants a one star review and no return. I suggest if you have kids that you steer clear as you will be treated like second class citizens. Oh, and don't forget the put up the signs in the garden. Always good to be clear with people from the outset.

Couldn't fault the Sunday roast.,food was excellent, we were on our way to Shrewsbury and rang for a table they fit us in no problem.,thanks for your hospitality!

Great good, came here with a large group, food came out quickly and was of a really high quality. Lovely beers on tap and polite staff. Parking outside.

Out and about and found the windmill, Lovely country pub. Great food (you must try the whitebiat). Fantastic landlady.. Will return... PS. They are open on Mondays 12 till 3...

Stopped there before This time stopped for a drink and some food Absolutely great. Nice real fire on entrance a really warm welcome. Staff polite and helpful. The landlord a great happy chappy told us some history of the pub. Will definitely stop again 100 out of 10 See you soon

Really nice pub, roast beef was great, exactly what I wanted after my Sunday hike!

Hadn't been to the Windmill in over 20 years since the wonderful Megan was landlady and Andrew was cooking. It was lovely to speak to Megan's daughter. We were a party of 5. The food was exceptional, lots of it and the service spot on. We took our dog in which was a bonus. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

Just stopped off on the way home from Wales for lunch Sarah behind the bar found us a table and welcomed us Food,fish and chips was lovely and the fire was on so it was lovely and warm as the weather was horrible Atmosphere was very friendly would definitely recommend

Enjoyed our drinks and the luvly atmosphere there

Really friendly staff who sorted us a table with a high chair on short notice no problem. Delicious Sunday roast with lovely cauliflower cheese served quickly. Will definitely return!

We selected The Windmill Inn as the destination for our shoot dinner this season and have been thrilled with both the service and food provided by Sarah, Peter and the rest of the team. It's our first year as a syndicate and the social element was really important to us but following a meeting with Peter & Sarah we were left with no doubt that we would be well-looked after. The Windmill Inn were always warm and welcoming, we had a private dining room where the fire was always lit, the drinks service was second to none and the food came out on time every time (and tasted great!). A huge thank you on behalf of all who joined throughout the season and we look forward to seeing you in Autumn. Will

Lovely pub/resturant, owner went out of his way to accommodate us. Although 2 orders were incorrect they were quickly rectified

Not a regular visitor but usually stop for Sunday Lunch when retuning home after visiting relatives in Aberystwyth. Always a friendly welcome. Excellent food and service.

Lovely welcome and chat about the history of the place, seated in front of a roaring fire, delicious food! Definitely recommend!

very nice pub, lovely open fire, great view from the garden

One of our party complained about the main course not being hot and it quickly went cold. The puddings were just mediocre, apple pie over cooked.

Absolutely amazing food , personnal service and felt like being in someone’s home . A unique experience for dining out these days and highly recommended, well worth a stop off .

Excellent food & great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend ⭐🏅

I had the pleasure of eating lunch at the Windmill Inn today. I opted for "Today's Special" a seafood pasta, which featured very generously sized prawns and a gorgeous white wine sauce. The flavours were superb. The charming Country Inn atmosphere added to the overall appeal, making it a memorable visit, thank you. I would definitely recommend the Windmill Inn for a superb meal.

Really nice Sunday roast! I really enjoyed it. I recommend booking in advance.

Had a wonderful meal at the Windmill at Rowton. The Staff were outstanding and helpful, the food was delicious and sensibly priced and the Drinks were great. Well worth a stop for lunch or an evening meal.

Made to feel very welcome. Lovely three bean chilli, most enjoyable.

Delicious meal.Eaten at the Windmill twice.Both times excellent.

Just had Sunday lunch for eight of us. Fantastic food and such friendly service. Couldn't do enough for us. Would recommend all day long.

This truely is a country pub with all the bells and whistles. If you get the chance to eat outside the views are stunning and the food is excellent. Well worth a visit.

Despite online reviews of a ‘grumpy’ owner we found him extremely friendly and helpful! The meal was delicious: I had the chicken and my husband had the sea bass, and the views towards the hills from the garden are superb. One tiny caveat is that I would suggest a proper topping on the apple and plum crumble, rather than a sprinkling of muesli. That said, I would highly recommend the Windmill Inn.

The best burger I have ever had in 60 years. Perfectly cooked in a fresh brioche bun with great fries. 10/10.

Great pub good food beer and stunning garden with great views

Superb service and food! Upon arrival, the pub seemed busy, the owner welcomed us and very quickly arranged a table for us, even extending it to suit our party size. We had a wheelchair user with us and the owner was very accommodating. He showed us the toilets and advised a ramp could be put down to enable access. Food was amazing, home cooked and of a very generous portion. Service was second to none, attentive and quick. Would highly recommend a visit. We will definitely be back!

Good food and pleasant staff, nice relaxed atmosphere.

Had the best Sunday dinner we've had in a very long time, all the staff were so welcoming, and we will definitely be back. It's also worth taking a look out the back. The views of Shropshire are amazing.

Great food , Beer garden has the best views

First time visiting here on a sunny, beautiful Saturday afternoon. It wasn't too busy and has the most amazing beer garden with views! Inside looked nice as well, nice atmosphere and vibe. Service was excellent, very attentive, friendly and prompt. Food was really good, especially the windmill burger, so flavoursome and cooked perfectly. Would definitely recommend visiting here.

Very nice service. It is a place with an atmosphere and very good food.

Very helpful staff with my gluten intolerance even chef came and spoke to me.

A very nice country pub, the staff are friendly and very welcoming.

Best Sunday dinner I've had for a long time

Lovely staff extremely friendly

Amazing place 10/10 would visit again every ones so nice down to the waiters and even the customers gardens are beautiful if you pass definitely visit if I could I would give 10 stars amazing place

We were driving back from Wales looking at somewhere to stop for lunch. We nearly overshot this gem of a pub. Great location, views over the Shropshire countryside. These are not the best bits though, they are the food, staff and atmosphere. All excellent. I had the steak and ale pie. Wonderful. Will definitely stop again.

Amazing food at a great price point. The staff were all very accommodating to our group dispute arriving at staggered time for our booking.

Bloody brilliant place. Called for second visit on Wednesday night, just me and my wife and granddaughter. I had the ham and eggs. Stunning. Utterly brilliant. Service first class, food first class and views from rear garden unbelievable. Highly recommended.

Had a lovely family meal for everyone to meet up .
