Windmill Inn in Ashford

Went there expecting to get food and decent beer. NO Food. Looks like pub is up for sale with little interest. Beer was OK, but pub noisy due to football. Definitely one to avoid. Went to Eureka for a nice curry instead,

Pub with no food, very empty lack of any atmosphere. Apparently have music nights but that's an acquired taste!. Who chooses them do they really fulfil customer expectations of the regulars. Tatty beer garden and small kids play area with few battered toys so definitely not for families. No consistency of bar staff hence no commitment to customer service. Landlady seems disinterested and that does not seem to promote staff motivation. Probably a pub on its last legs in an area where others have much more to offer. Could be a nice family pub with the right management but currently I would suggest don't bother when better local alternatives with food good customer service, management and staff who care. There is clearly no leadership, team motivation or desire to improve which is a shame as it seems former landlord made the effort. Give it a miss I won't be going back.

It's local so convenient but in future I'll travel a bit further. The place is just a drinking room, with no atmosphere. No food board any more. Seeing the state of the chef I'd be reluctant to eat there anyway. Where is the new owner ?

My Wife, myself and a good friend paid a visit to this Pub this afternoon a thoroughly enjoyed it.The Real Ale on tap was well kept and went down a treat. I also thought that the food was tasty, of good portion size and served nice a hot, even the landlady was very attentive and friendly - what's not to like.In my opinion great value for money and certainly worth a visit.

Popped in for lunch today and had a lovely meal with a nice pint of real ale. Most of the food is home-cooked and the prices are very reasonable. Good service and definitely somewhere I shall go again.

Curt very short And unfriendly to talk to.Have been going to the Windmill for several years Now under Neil the Previous landlord who is no longer part of the Pub for Great food and Live Music.

I have only been to the Windmill inn at the weekends to see the bands on Saturday nights so I am not reviewing the food or anything during the day only my experience Saturday nights, but to be honest l never overly feel welcome there l find the landlord and the bar staff a bit unfriendly and it would be nice if they said thank you sometimes when you order and pay for your drinks , after all l am a customer who is spending money and bringing some profit to this pub .

Fantastic food, great atmosphere, awesome team behind the bar and in the kitchen, and regular live music at weekends. Couldn't ask for a better local!

El edificio no parece ser mucho desde el exterior, pero muy acogedor, el mismo, como el propietario. Llamamos a la oportunidad de una mesa. Aunque completamente lleno, nos dieron una mesa que estaba reservado para un momento posterior. Estuvimos de acuerdo en que dejar (en menos de una hora) el domingo asados tenía una buena selección de carnes y verduras y la miel eran deliciosos. Patacas Chirivías Yo podía comer un plato de ellos por su cuenta. Todo el tiempo que estuvimos allí el agradable propietario comprometido con sus clientes sabiendo que muchos de ellos por su nombre. Altamente recomendado. Este lugar lo tiene muchos pubs modernos han perdido. El ambiente de un local agradable. Excelente relación calidad-precio.

He oído cosas buenas sobre el molino, así que nos fuimos a lo largo de sábado por la noche y comida para después de mi primera elección cervezas locales estaba cerrado por un incendio. El menú es staples, pero nada especial pub bien ejecutados y muy buena relación calidad-precio. Elección de la cerveza es limitada y los precios parecían un poco caro. Completamente relajado y sin pretensiones, con música en vivo, es un sitio de gente. No es un "destino" de ninguna manera, pero una apuesta segura si estás en la zona y me alegraría volver otra vez.

Brilliant live music venue attracting some really top European bands. Sunday Carvery was amazing. Real friendly pub feel and great value for money. Noticed a cracking menu also available Mon-Sat. Would advise to boom for Sunday lunch

Visitamos hoy con un amigo después de un año desde nuestra última visita y puedo decir honestamente que tan bueno como siempre y un verdadero lujo a precios muy razonables y de buena calidad. Muy buen servicio con precios acordes. Amplia variedad de platos y de ver el bistec gkad stilton tarta y todavía en el menú. Vale la pena visitar y bueno para todas las ocasiones, música en vivo los fines de semana.

Qué banda buzz gran el sábado por la noche realmente enorme multitud como bash de cumpleaños para nuestro amigo rock ~ elegante en su tiempo! Conocer al dueño, fue muy amable, buenas bebidas a un precio demasiado caro comprar ot un partido. Limpiar vasos vacíos toda la noche lejos, tan limpia y tan clara! Llegamos con hambre tenía los budines riquísimos el ruibarbo era divina durante las bandas de descanso lo recomiendo encarecidamente una noche super!

Dropped by the Windmill again, third time I've been. The owner is a really nice guy and there is always live music on a Friday and Saturday, which is why I went. It's a real live music venue. I travel some distance to support it. Great food till 8 ish... The band I saw this time were Rockstox - a tidy five piece fun band, great song choice and not too loud..

The Windmill Inn has become our local even though it is over twenty miles away. The Family that run it are the best, always a warm welcome. The live music on Friday and Saturdays is always of a very high standard, some of the very best local bands around.We often pop in for lunch when passing, great menu and very good value. Particularly love the homemade burgers. Today we had the Carvery for the first time and really enjoyed it, freshly cooked, lots of it and very good value. Good choice of deserts too.

Both myself & my wife enjoyed the carvery, at "The Windmill Inn", in Ashford.We found it by accident, as we were out on a drive, so we're thought, that we would just pop in, for a drink, but as soon as we saw, the carvery sign outside, we thought, that we would have a carvery, as it is a few minutes drive, from where we live.We are glad, that we did, as the food, was lovely, as you are served with plenty of meat, they have a good choice of vegetables to choose from, to which you help yourself to.Once, we had got our food, and we sat down to enjoy our food, both myself and my wife could not believe, how friendly the staff of the windmill inn, were and that they could not do enough for you.As I am disabled, with being on a crutch, we thought that was really nice.We will definitely be back, for more of their carvery, and there desserts, were excellent, you certainly get a big enough dessert.

We went for a roast after helping an elderly friend move into the area. We were tired and still in moving clothes so the locals did look at ya strangely - but we went ahead had our roast and leftWe will try again some other time as the food was good reasonably priced joystick let down by the atmosphere a little

We used to go on the Sunday quite a lot . The carvery is by far the best. All fresh and just the right amount of food .staff are great . I love the little garden at the back , kids like to play . It's all safe and clean .great location if your are local .

We went with a large party of people so we had ordered in advance everyone's meal choice. We had a carvery for mains which was well cooked, plenty of choice of vegetables. Desserts were good but very slow being served. Reasonable prices.Only comment is that only one person serving desserts, there was 40 of us.

Great quality food, at a sensible price, excellent portion size. Staff are friendly and welcoming great atmosphere, would recommend.

A nice town pub, clean and tidy, but I think it's been modernised a bit too much. It's one of those pubs which you can tell used to be two bars, and has been knocked into one. Consequently it is spacious and airy but not all that cosy. The food was very good, not overcooked or greasy, and a nice gesture to our darts team, provided free of charge. The beers provided are well kept, and a good choice is offered but like so many places, re-mortgage the house before buying one, as a Caffrey's bitter will cost you £3.95 and that's probably cheaper than the Stella. The bar staff are very attractive, keep some Brut handy. ;-) The garden is well kept and smart, and it's very clever how the bench under the willow tree is fitted exactly round the trunk. Overall I would definitely recommend this pub but bring a heavy wallet.

The Windmill is a real gem of a pub, with a good selection of beer, and good value home-cooked food (The Sunday carvery is particularly good!).Most importantly, The Windmill plays host to the best live music acts from across the county - and sometimes beyond!Father-Son landlord team Neil and Liam really know their stuff when it comes to booking bands, and have an uncanny knack of knowing what's going to go down well. And they don't stick with the usual middle-of-the-road pub rock - Expect to see anything from 80s pop to post-punk to acoustic blues to retro rock & metal!

We visited the Windmill Inn as a band we wanted to check out were playing there, after looking up the menu on their website we also booked a table, the staff were friendly and helpful especially as we had to alter our time and table size. I can recommend the homemade quiche and for pudding homemade rhubarb and blueberry crumble. The band playing were called Total Mayhem, we enjoyed an evening of classic rock which left my ears ringing lol.

A great little pub restaurant with fantastic value for money. Kids eat free with any adult meal purchase (drinks are extra). Little garden for them to play in. Great atmosphere and good food. Will be making this a regular stop with my friends and our children

Needed cheering up after not getting on Eurotunnel. So found this place on trip advisor and thought we'd give it a try. The young lady behind the bar was a gem. Food was excellent and fantastic value for money. The beer garden was lovely, clean, tidy and spacious. Will certainly pop in again.

just got back from a birthday dinner time lunch, was fab ! definitely worth another visit or 3! excellent food, welcoming landlord !

If the sun is shining (the garden is great) this is excellent value for Money. 4 meats and usual fare.. Kids under eat free. Excellent family run pub and homemade grub.

The carvery is second to none. The selection of meats is good and the food is coned well. Good deal on the childrens meals also. Only minor negative point is the outdated decor. Would recommend Sunday lunch here!

The food is really nice. Service is friendly and quick. However, as this is a pub you need to time your visit accordingly as they only serve food after a certain time (I think it is 6 but may be wrong) and it can be noisy due to the fact that it is a really good pub and full of locals

Came here for the carvery with my daughter and friends, never beenSo thought I'd try it as had heard good things, food was nice andNice size enclosed garden for the kids to play, very smallEating area but it's fine, just needed a lick of paint, a bit of updating in the decor but apart from that lovely.

I live 2 minutes from a renowned pub cum bistro who charge £15 a head for a 2 course Sunday roast. With 2 kids and the fact they don't reduce the price much, we wanted to have a look around. We've done the usual carveries and "fashionable" places to eat but wanted to try something different.I was told that the Windmill served a "decent roast dinner" but without the fuss of typical resto/bistro pubs. I rang the Windmill, made the reservation and turned up slightly early. Not a problem and was sat at a reserved table. With carveries, you normally get a choice of 2 or 3 meats. They had 4 and every one was delicious. The dinner was in my opinion was first class, correctly cooked, tasty and HOT!! The dinner passed the taste test for my 2 children who are at best extremely fussy and that says something. We don't normally eat puddings as the costs are normally very high and with drinks, you can be very easily into £70. The Spotted Dick (homemade) was cracking, the homemade cheesecake is a must ( about 3 inches high and lots of IT!!!) and my daughter really fancied banana custard. When asked, they did it and as my little girl is under 5, she wasn't charged. Total bill for 4 dinners, 4 puddings and 8 drinks??£40!!!! The best value in Ashford. One thing though please guys at the Windmill...... Don't change the winning formula you have. Thank you. We'll definitely book again

Went in with my wife for lunch over Christmas and enjoyed it so much we took our four kids back on Christmas Eve. The Menu is traditional from 'Scampi and Chips' to 'Jam Sponge and Custard'. The family had the kids' meals and my wife had a very tasty prawn sandwich. The beer was great too and a good selection of wine and soft drinks for the kids. If you want a good old fashioned pub experience then The Windmill Inn is worth a visit

Came in just for drinks, but liked the look of the menu as well so might be back in the future to give it a try! As a pub it's quite small, but it's got a good atmosphere and has some great live music acts on at weekends.

It does not look much from the outside and the inside décor is old fashion pub style but don’t be put off as they serve typical pub grub at its best. The food was freshly cooked and excellent quality and very good value.

Visited the Windmill Inn after being recommended by a family member and we are very pleased we did. We booked a table for 5 adults and 2 children, for the Sunday carvery. On arrival we were welcomed and shown to our table and drink orders were taken. We selected our meals from the chef, good choice of meat i.e. chicken/turkey, beef, lamb and pork, and good choice of vegetables. The food tasted lovely, we were very impressed and all cleared our plates.The desserts did not disappoint either, there are hot and cold options.The service we received from all the staff was excellent, they were very friendly, welcoming and polite. A great pub to have in Ashford, wish there were more like this one.The pub has a lovely garden at the side and rear, which was great for the children and on a nice day would be ideal to sit outside to have a drink and relax.The atmosphere of the pub was warm and welcoming. We will definitely return .

Just popped on here today for lunch before going to work, we loved it, our meals were tasty and freshly cooked. We have also been here for the Sunday carvery, bring your appetite and you won't be disappointed only make sure to book as its extremely popular. Five stars from us

Popped in for lunch which we do on regular basis. Great homecooked food and well priced, the text for free sweet on main course monday to Thursday well worth visit.

Booked a table for eight people for my birthday family meal. Booked for Sunday as heard they do a good Sunday carvery. Good is an understatement. Fantastic dinner with great service and friendly staff who couldn't do enough to make you feel welcome. Husband went there the day before to drop off some flowers, balloons and cake to surprise me with on the day. Brilliant meal, great portions with the added bonus of being able to go up as often as you like but to be honest once was filling enough! More than enough options on meat and vegetables and everything was hot. Had pudding which again was a generous helping and delicious. Brilliant value for money. Will definitely be going again

Visited several times, went with some friends last week who were visiting us. They could not believe value or quality of food being served. Good for us and the staff. Can recommend the steak and ale pie but the steak and stilton is to die for when on menu. Also do some really good deals at lunch time. Well worth visit.
