Windmill Stoke-On-Trent in Stafford

Food was good and cooked fresh. The chef came out and checked on a couple of items we ordered as she felt it may not be what we expected it to be which was good. Her thinking that was actually correct so instead of waisting food she cooked what we wanted. Brilliant service. Shame they were closing for a refurb so some things had sold out. Hope when they reopen they will still be as good

First time at the Windmill last night in many years and we weren’t disappointed. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by warm, friendly staff. It’s a very busy place and you can see why, the staff were all very attentive and the man that served us was extremely polite and had a great attention to detail. We ordered the Dorito sharing platter for starters, it was supposed to serve two people but there was easily enough for four and it was very tasty. My husband ordered a mixed grill which was cooked to perfection and I had a salad with a veggie buttermilk chicken topper, couldn’t manage a dessert, was way too full. We had a couple of drinks in the lovely beer garden before heading home. I would highly recommend the windmill, a great place to visit after a long week at work. Great staff, good food and a lovely atmosphere. Can’t wait to visit again.

Smash potato. Meat hand carved supposedly tasted I don't know what it tasted of but not meat

After a very long day, we stopped by The Windmill around 7:30pm for food. It was our first time visiting and we are very impressed. It is a beautiful pub with an actual windmill on the grounds dating back almost 250yrs!! The pub itself feels very cosy, homely and comfortable. The locals that were there were also friendly. Upon arrival we were greeted by the gent behind the bar and we were served our drinks then went to our table. We ordered our food at the bar, which didn’t take too long to arrive considering they were quite busy with orders. We ordered an All Day Breakfast, Mixed Grill and the Bombay Burger. We also made amendments to the meals. The food came out exactly how we asked for it, fresh, beautifully cooked and nicely presented. Half way through the meal, we asked for extra toast for the All Day Breakfast and this wasn’t a problem. It came to our table a couple of minutes later freshly cooked. Overall, we really enjoyed our time at The Windmill and would definitely return. Many thanks to Stu (Manager) Dave (Bar/Kitchen) and Phil (Chef) for a lovely, relaxed end to a difficult day! 🙂

Nice pub for a quick drink, good atmosphere, friendly staff and plenty of parking available!!

Was disappointed had lasagne very small portion tiny garlic bread and a bit of salad, good of them to let my 86 year old friend have a child menu very tiny unless you have a very small child wouldn't recommend it.think they should do a lunch time special menu like most places do they would get more custom the place was empty at lunch time.

Went in to watch football match. They have loads of tvs but only one with the match on. Which was right next to a band playing, and we had a dog. Paid for 2 pints of wainwrights and the beer was flat, tasted like it had gone off, wasn't pleasant to drink. To top it off a very loud rude woman shouting the whole time. Blonde girl behind bar wasn't very friendly when she took our order either

nice pub , has a pool table and good selection of beer , the bar staff where very friendly to

Went there with my son and Grandchildren for dinner lovely food.

I gave two stars as my partner really enjoyed his meal of mac n cheese burger but the rest of the experience sadly was negative. I ordered a club sandwich roll, particularly because it said it was served with mayo, I can get a reaction to some tomato based sauces so I stick to mayo just in case. My meal turned up covered in a tomato based sauce/salsa and I apologised but said i couldnt eat it and I ordered it because it said mayo. The waitress stormed away and looked at the menu, but couldn't say anything as I was right. She returned with the meal with mayo, I said thankyou for her trouble. The next thing, she brought the chef out and the two of them watched me eat it, scowling at me. I was made to feel very uncomfortable. Then I realised by the tingling in my mouth that the sandwich was the same one, only they had scraped the salsa off and had reapplied mayo, I could feel it, taste it and see it on the roll. I will not go back and I wouldn't recommend, that is a health and safety issue and they were so rude when i had been as polite as I could possibly be. Also, we were moved to another table by one of the staff who was trying to be nice and give us a quieter area. The same waitress as before then was shouting across the room to our waitress, they've moved. She did this twice as they didn't bring out a portion of chips for my son, his came later than everyone else's. Really not a good experience. At least two very rude members of staff.

Brilliant great food great staff beautiful place to take family and friends 🧡

Staff were rude, spoke down on my friend and i and were just generally rude steer clear

Had to give all 5 stars food hot tasty , great choice and if your a lover of sticky toffee pudding you have got to try there’s …. I had the best one ever . Cosey , lovely ambiance . I Saved the best till last the staff …Darren the chef , Charlotte and Karen made our afternoon ,friendly and welcoming … will definitely recommend to friends and visit again .. Thanks again Mel and Sue

Great little pub, great selection of drinks. Nice and clean warm. Brilliant service, and the food was amazing.

Haven't been here in so long untill tonight.. but i will definitely be returning. I had the smothered steak and it was cooked to Absolute perfection, hardly any fat for a rump which is a bonus! Gutted I didn't try the cheesecake but I'll be back soon for both. Lovely ladies on the bar also. Thankyou for a great meal.

Really nice family pub. Great beer. Food always lovely. Nice friendly staff.

Called in here having not been in for a few years. The food is plentyful for what you pay and decent quality. It's just the decor is in dire need of painting as I feel this reflects on the food prep area and kitchens when you see this 🤷🏼‍♂️

Very average food, the chips weren't great. The service was good but atmosphere ruined by screaming children running around the dining area.

staff were lovely and pleasant. But the lasagne was cold, watery, and tasteless.

Food was nice and hot we really enjoyed our Fish and chips

Googled best roasts in the area and this place popped up so decided to split up a 5 hour drive by coming off the motorway for dinner here. Sunday dinner tasted amazing and very good value especially for such a large portion, I had turkey and was cooked perfectly with all the veg cooked with care, partner had the vegetarian option which was also great, ale tasted good too. Service was fast, chef, waitress and bar lady were all super friendly too and my dog was even made to feel welcome with treats, nice interior and clean pub, would stop off here again.

Didnt have food but enjoyed drinks

Jo and her team provided a buffet for my mother in laws recent funeral. The food was fantastic and plenty of it. She ensured that vegetarians and vegans were equally catered for. I couldn't have asked for more Thank you.

Food cheaper than wetherspoons, can't complain!

Lovely food, and I also tried the coconut bomb and wow 😍 will be visiting again soon.

Loved the place, great atmosphere nice pint, lovely food.

Came in here for lunch with friends over the weekend, and the service was awful . The young lady behind the bar wasn't very welcoming. The food was shocking the burgers we had we're just chucked on the plate with a few chips , I would have thought for the price we paid it would have come with maybe onion rings and coleslaw. Also the coke I had tasted like it had been waterd down. I'm sorry to say we won't be returning.

Great place, great food and great staff. Loved the place but webpage opening times need updating but we loved the place x

Very nice atmosphere. The food was delicious.

Excellent allround, service was great, thanks

Perfect as always. Can't wait to go next Saturday to celebrate my dads birthday all 16 of us.... not going to click all the food options that we would recommend as we've never had a bad meal there....always spot on

Tidy pub, well kept beers, lovely beer garden. Top quality service from Charllotte . Highly recommended 👌

Been coming here for over the last 12 months we are local mainly after car shows / meets last 4 times have been a bit hit and miss and the last 3 times found the chef very rude today was the final straw his attitude stinks came out saw us table of 11 people and said to the girl behind the bar what they doing on that table it’s reserved she said not until 3.30 we arrive at 1pm she said you can gladly have it but I need it bck for 3.30 not the first time he has pulled his face as we always have around 10 to 17 of us going for food n drinks 2/3 times a month the food was shocking again today most of every plate was wrong in some shape or form to day like the last time we just put it down to a one off but today is the final straw he’s rude and the food said it all to day we will not be returning

popped in to use the toilet while waiting for work, the cricket was on the big screen so had to stay and have a coke. Service was good, friendly staff, few people there but atmosphere was fine. Would like to go back for a night out.

Good old fashioned pub with beer garden too.

Lived by the windmill for 17 years always been a good pub attracting both young & old & families food good good selection of beers wines & spirits plenty outdoor seats

Good food next to an interesting old windmill Good if you want to watch the sport and eat a meal

Lovely team, looked after me when I broke down. Thankyou

Spent a lovely couple of hours sitting outside with my partner with a few drinks and a small bowl of chips. It also has a pool 🎱 table.

Called in for quick drink very friendly staff will definitely go back

Great place to eat and drink with the family

The meals were absolutely great, there were 3 adults & 3 children & nothing was too much for the staff. Thank you all. x

Booked a table for 5 for lunch and afternoon natter with family. Table reserved and food ordered, prompt service and good choice. Food all good and hot and then ordered puddings. All told, there from 1:00 pm 'til nearly 4:00 pm! Never chased us to leave and a nice informal meal and natter. Thanks to the staff!

Booked for a family get together for mother's day. Busy, but lovely, friendly staff. Very helpful and attentive. Food arrived quickly. Nice and hot, well presented. Lovely atmosphere. First visit, but would definitely visit again.

Very affordable and tasty food. Ordered the spicy burger and it did not disappoint in flavour or spice. Staff are friendly and it's a very lively environment.

The atmosphere isn’t the same here since the pub had a new Manager. Andy, Sue and the kitchen team continue to make you feel welcome and create a great atmosphere in the pub. Unfortunately the same cannot be said when they aren’t in, and the new members of staff do not share the same commitment to customer service. This is disappointing as this has always been our friendly, local pub which is now sadly lacking those qualities.

Booked for 17 people as a leaving party for our daughter, there were a mixed group from 1yr to 84yrs, and everyone was happy. Ordered from the 2 course for 7.99 menu and it was lovely. There was no wait hardly for the food. And everyone enjoyed themselves. 😊

Good food and beers at great prices.

Had a nice family get together there staff very friendly

Wonderful family meal, food was excellent, we had 2 Sunday dinners that were cooked to perfection. Thank you to all the team. Looking forward to visiting again and trying the rest of the menu. Keep up the great work.

Good food and nicely decorated. Nice relaxed atmosphere

Great desserts! Good for a quick bite on a Sunday. Not too busy when we went and quick service. We will be going again.

Come full of expectation after reviews ...have to say didn't live up to standard i was hoping for ...I has mixed grill .exchanged the chicken for sausage...clearly states Cumberland sausage...it was just A normal pork sausage ...chips were terrible ..just cheap oven chips...wife had created yer own chicken breast ..well the chicken breast was tiny and I mean tiny ..cut it twice it was gone .... Worth the money. ?? No ..1st time going so won't completely destroy the place with a bad review but I won't go agen..

We just had our works Christmas meal here and have to say we were all very pleasantly surprised. Where we have been previously the food always looks and tastes like it has been rushed or sat for hours due to the number of people they are trying to serve in one night over Christmas, but this was very different. Great value for money, the food was excellent and great service, we will definitely be back again

Lunch for hubby/Dad's Birthday, food good, staff lovely as usual, very helpful and cheerful.

Really friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, food very average pub grub. Would come here again but wouldn't expect too much from the food.

Lovely and friendly place,,staff helpful and polite

Good food value for money meals friendly staff

Great service and food was excellent. Very friendly atmosphere.

Nice place and beer well looked after, said to the barman have one your self but said he couldn't as pub policy. Lots having food.

Had an amazing smothered steak here very tender and service was great for arrived nice and hot

Called in for Sunday lunch. Very pleasantly surprised. Food was better than usual pub food and decent serving. Service was fast too. Would recommend booking first tho.

Friendly place,nice staff, food is lovely.

Staff were lovely and friendly, food was amazing

Good food at a good price, staff very welcoming & friendly Plenty of car parking space

First visit, nice to see a busy community pub, very accommodating as we required a table to sit with our dog. Menu very good value. Service great. Plenty of TV screens to watch the sport. Will be using again.

Pubs ok, food not so good. Cheap but not so cheerful.

Fantastic food great experience when we was there. Been back since and first class again

Great food and a great manager. Well done x

Well worth a visit you will not be disappointed

Excellent food at a good price. The service and staff were fabulous. Will definitely visit the Windmill again its a great pub.

Great food in a charming pub. The welcome was very warm and the staff were very friendly. Perfect spot for a meal out. Well done everyone. Thank you for looking after us so well.

Excellent pub very friendly and welcoming lovely food 5 stars

Menu not very interesting, place ok, friendly

To the boss Ben & Lexi are friendly and helpful people. The mixed grills & the pudding's are lovely. From Pete, Michaela, John and Jean. Ps father in law has had a great 70th birthday

Love the Windmill lovely food value for money Staff friendly and helpful

Thank you for having us all on Saturday night x you catered for us all and we had a brilliant night x birthday drinks again next year lol thanks again

Staff are very friendly and attentive. Food on the other hand is just average at best unfortunately. Nothing worth writing home about. Prices are also quite high considering the quality. If you have no where else to go then give it a try. But I wont be going back, and it's nothing against the staff as they were very welcoming. Did have to wait 20 minutes after we finished our mains for our deserts too.

Pints are more expensive than other places food is alright, pub grub. But recently it came to light that tips are taken from the staff.. Which is completey wrong. If you go there and want to tip the staff please make sure it's under a fake pretense. Incredibly dissapointed in my local... Unbelievable. Edit: tips to go into a shared tip jar to be used for staff soft drinks exclusively?

The food was tasty but COLD The staff were too busy moving chairs to attend when I tried to get their attention. I've since had 5 further meals here and they have been progressively worse. Disgusting food and if you can find the manager there's no point in complaining as he's not interested.

Thank you for a very nice meal with polite staff members Geoff

Pleasantly surprised at how nice and friendly the staff were and the value for money food. Always put off going as carpark is nearly always full but talking to staff it's being used by non patrons using it for other shops.

good food at a good price, and a nice place.

Don't waste your money, food aweful!

Went for a Sunday dinner. Atmosphere is good and everyone was having a nice time. The staff were very good and communicated with us very well. Food is average but the price was very reasonable. Home made Yorkshire would improve the Sunday roast massively.

Fantastic highly recommend 👏 great meal with great service. 👍

Great as usual cheers guys new menu is fab

Sat outside for a couple of drinks,the staff are very friendly . A lovely pub

Lovely food, friendly staff 10/10 😊

Been here a few times now. Children love the staff as they are so friendly. Excellent food and great service.

Top notch food, good atmosphere, cheap and above all else very welcoming. Will definitely be coming again.

Lovely evening in the beer garden with a nice pint.

Excellent food, friendly staff, highly recommended 👍

Fantastic food and plenty on the plate beer was nice as well. Will be going again. Well done

Have not been for a long time. But very nice clean looks great staff very helpful certainly went the extra mile very impressed with the food was cook how we liked it because they asked how we would have it at home and it came to us perfect will most definitely be going back again Jan's pudding she said was massive and will always come to mind when we are thinking of somewhere to go for something to eat and not over expensive . Good choice of beers and other drinks all I can say now is thanks we will see you again Jan and Phil

Pop in for a coffee before picking kids up

Great place for all the family.

Me and my family went for a meal this afternoon and it was absolutely fab. To be honest the only reason we went there was because we'd been before. We chose this place again because of how accommodating they are. Our daughter has many special educational needs and finds situations like this stressful and will let everyone in earshot know this too. The Staff here are unbelievable. My daughter loves it here and that is 100% down to the relaxed attitude of the staff. We all love it too, food is beautiful.

Enjoyed a Sunday lunch meal very friendly staff would go back again

Excellent lunchtime meal. Staff very welcoming, nothing too much trouble. I had the 2 course menu which was delicious and very good value for money. The crumble was homemade and a real treat to have such good quality food on offer. Would recommend !
