Windmill in City of London, Westminster

Magda is a superstar!! Made our evening 🫶🏼

Very good food and service from Magdalena

You should try stake and mushroom pie 🤩

Unfortunately the experience has been awful. We arrived and the restaurant was empty. They gave us a table in the middle and really noisy and asked to be moved to another table. They told us no even if some tables were left empty for the rest of our lunch. The food took more than an hour to arrive, and when it arrived half of the food on the plate was cold. The steak & stilton pie did not have any stilton (no taste of it!) Never again

[edited] came back on Sunday lunch for their pies. we were seated in the same ground floor restaurant room as the previous time. upon arrival at 1pm, it was already unbearably noisy despite being half empty. we asked to be moved to the pub/bar area, but were told it wasn't possible. it took 1h15' minutes for our pies to arrive!!! after 1h we asked if anything was wrong, to which we were told they had a private gathering upstairs that was taking precedence! abysmal. then the food: venison pies were great, but roasted vegetables and Yorkshire puddings were cold! the beef and stilton had no stilton. once again, we paid the bill and left without dessert as we couldn't bear the noise anymore. alas, for us it's now a write-off [original] went for lunch on a Sunday. it was very quiet on arrival (12:45) but, less than half an hour in, and the room we were in was jam packed, with tables very close to one another. food was good (fish pie, Wales pie, venison pie) as was service, but decided to leave without ordering dessert or extra drinks as we were tired of screaming just to hold a nice conversation. as we were leaving, we passed through the bar area and that was much more relaxed and quiet.

Ana was an amazing server who went above and beyond to help us! She was very attentive and made us feel like we had everything we needed! Food was amazing! Definitely get a pie! 😊

Ana was great to serve us, she made our night very pleasant and took care of us well

Excellent service and food from Ana

Fantastic meal and too notch service from Magdalena who kept a smile on our Son’s face all night! Thanks for the wonderful Elevening

Magdelena was excellent in looking after us!

Greatest pie in the area, and a reasonable price. Danny was a very helpful server today.

Not sure what to say, it was just all perfect! Great atmosphere, good selection of beers, fantastic food. Thanks to Ana Maria for the impeccable service! EDIT: it was so good that we decided to go back 2 days after to try some other plates, we were not disappointed!

The food here was okay but we waited forever for our food after ordering. Atmosphere was great and our server was very nice. Everything was just slow.

Fantastic pies ..I hade the chicken, leek, bacon....WOW! Also Ana (our waitress) was so sweet

The best meat pies in the city. Ana was our server and she was delightful and smiley the whole time. We are from the US and we googled “best meat pies” in the city. And it was spot on.

Took the 20 people here for a work event. Great food and vibes!

Brought my mom to London for her first trip to England and she had proper Sunday roast experience at Windmill. Fantastic. Service from Marie was lovely.

Had the pleasure of being served by Danny, quick and neat service, burger was excellent, thanks a lot will be back soon!

Had a great chicken, bacon and leek pie and partner had the beef roast. Such a lovely Sunday meal.

Great pies and friendly service! We recommend the chicken & bacon pie.

Food was great. Marie was an outstanding host, always smiling and making sure we have a good experience at the Pub.

Nice pub in the heart of the city, Famous for their pie 🥧 I took the steak and Stilton pie it’s was nice but maybe just for my taste not so good maybe the mushroom can be better? but all my friends were happy with their pie they said was really good The dessert nothing special we could have avoided them The service tho is nice and friendly It was really busy on a Friday night if you want to eat you need to book and I find it a bit expensive 25£ for a pie but I understand they are famous for that and they are in the city centre Anyway you can try and give it a go ! I don’t think you gonna be disappointed Thanks!

This place was fabulous! The pies were amazing and the service was very attentive, Ana was great. Would definitely recommend!

The service was a little slow in general, we ordered the meat pie that the waitress recommended with meat and mushrooms and it was a success, it was delicious!!

If you like English pub atmosphere, this place is perfect. You can drink a good beer there or sit down for a good British meal. The pies were very good and the typical desserts were up to par. We had a great time, thanks in particular to Ana who was very warm. Be careful not to expect to be quiet, it remains a bar.

Danny was fabulous. What a friendly guy! It was a pleasure meeting him!

Good atmosphere, great food and friendly helpful staff (Danny and Ana)

Great place! We arrived without a reservation and Anna did her best to set a table for us. Homemade cooking! Rare…and particularly tasty. Welcome, advice, smiles, good food, good beer and an extra dose of humor..superb family evening with our 2 boys. A good memory!

Great pub, the staff are very friendly, the food is good (lovely pies) and the Guinness was just right.

Quintessential London Pub dining experience! Quick and friendly service, delicious pie at a reasonable cost. Comfortable dining in pleasant surroundings. Recommended.

Humble pies were redefined by the Windmill's team. Steak & stilton classic ticked all the boxes. Top marks for the food and service.

Danny went out of his way to give us a brilliant birthday lunch complete with candles on my pie!!

Delicious food, amazing atmosphere and the best service I've ever had! Great place for dinner with friends and family. Maggie who served us was so kind, helpful and professional. Thanks to her we have spent a splendid time in this gorgeous place 😍

Spent a thoroughly lovely afternoon at The Windmill for a colleagues birthday. Food was excellent (chicken pie followed by bread and butter pudding), and Danny our host was a total, total star (10 stars for him especially!). Excellent wine and food recommendations, a touching birthday pie with candles, and a delight to chat with. We all had a fantastic afternoon! Huge thanks!

Lovely place, cosy atmosphere, great service

What a lovely pub really good food good beer excellent service and really clean all around , I highly recommend it and we will definitely be back. Thank you guys.

Ama, our server was delightful and the pies, as usual, were delicious. Thank you.

Went here for a reunion with former colleagues and friends. Started with a busy Friday night on the street, but we were lucky enough to get a table at the roof terrace. Danny who served us, exceeded our expectations by miles! He recommended great drinks and served them timely, gave honest and genuine food suggestions, loved the scotch eggs. Loved loved loved our time here, definitely recommend visiting here.

Danny was a great employee who was really friendly and helpful with our orders. The food was overall delicious. It was a traditional British pie restaurant.

Danny was our server and he did a great job. Very knowledgeable of the menu and gave great recommendations

Absolutely outstanding lunch. The food - pies are simply the best around. The setting and atmosphere is just what you want it to be - cozy, comfortable, informal and welcoming. But Dannys service was a wonderful icing on the cake - from great beer and pie recommendations, to attentive and friendly service and the occasional unexpected surprise. Will definitely return👍👍

Third time in London, third time visiting the Windmill. If you are reading this, get the Shepherd’s Pie. Don’t even consider anything else on the menu. Don’t pass Go. Just order it. You won’t be disappointed.

Danny, our waiter, is friendly and made wonderful suggestions. Awesome scotch egg and Sheppard pie

An excellent meal with colleagues and well looked after by Danny. Still have fond memories of The Windmill from hosting our engagement drinks here 24 years ago.

Danny T was a gentleman scholar and made the evening. Came here for the pie stayed for Danny T. 10/10 would come again for a lovely evening

Danny was such an incredible, kind and funny server! He really made this dinner so extra special for us- what an absolutely delightful gem of a spot! The food was spot on, highly recommend the steak and mushroom pie!

Best pie in London. Amazing service too, thanks to Ana.

Very good pie. Traditional pub👍

Had a pre-theatre lunch here yesterday. The service was pleasant and friendly. The atmosphere was initially quiet (we were quite early) but picked up and was fairly buzzy by about 1pm. Good selection of drinks available. Came specifically for the pie and mash and we were not disappointed. Beautiful hand made pies (we had steak/mush and steak/stilton) were served with lovely mash and veg. Looked fantastic, perfect crust and gorgeous meaty filling with LARGE pieces of steak. Smelled and tasted brilliant. Chef knows his pies. Already booked in to come back to this well-run trad pub. Thanks!

Amazing food, the steak and mushroom pie is to die for. The sticky toffee was incredible, staff were friendly and helpful! Special thanks to Kasia for the great service!

Amazing food and service! Can’t recommend it enough!

Best pies and sticky toffee in London! This place is amazing for a chill Sunday lunch and Kasia the waitress was awesome. Highly recommend.

Had a fantastic late lunch with my friends. Had some beautiful pies and sticky toffee as well. Kasia looked after us on a next level! She was absolutely lovely and super helpful! Big well done to her! Can’t wait to come back to try some more!

The food, the staff and the vibe were all perfect. We brought our 15 month old here and had a great time. The pies were incredible as well as the fish and chips. Thank you Danny and Zoe for an awesome experience.

Danny was a great host. Especially enjoyed when pretended there was no sticky toffee pudding for me! He brought out a cheese boards as a joke. Next thing you know there is the magical sticky toffee pudding!

Danny smashed it! Gave us some top recommendations and swayed our friend from ordering the most expensive bottle of wine on the list!

Danny was brilliant, his service was excellent the entire night and he was constantly ensuring we had drinks and food. He was also adding his personally touch by letting us know his personal favourites on the menu!

Venue and food was lovely. Big shout out to Adi for looking after us

We came here for lunch on a Sunday. We have been welcomed from Luke that found us a comfortable table for us (we had a buggy too). Izzy, our server was lovely and very professional. I had a roast beef and my partner a pie. Both dishes were delicious. We will definitely be back. Thank you

Great venue and service. The team were on hand to help every step of the way. The food was great! This will be our new go to place for work gatherings. Thank you!

I went to this pub with a friend who had never tried British pub food and wanted to impress him. I must say I completely achieved my goal!The food was outstanding,we tried their famous pies and did not regret it. The service we received from Danny was kind and professional and he gave us great recommendations.

Amazing experience! Had the best pie ever. I Have to recommend the venison pie, wonderful favours and good potion size. But the best part was the staff. Super friendly, especially Danny who toyed with my emotions and mash, and who was so helpfully and make this experience even better

Had an incredible time at the Windmill. Came highly recommended and it didn’t disappoint. Try the scotch egg, sausage roll and/or pies, all top notch. Also, consider yourself lucky if Danny is manning the bar. Can’t wait to come back!

Ana the server started the superb experience off the minute we walk in the door. She was wonderful and made us feel right from home even tho we were on her side of the Pond from the USA. She was helpful with what to ordered and getting the homemade Pie (Steak and Mushroom) was outstanding. We enjoyed her conversation telling us the local story. Food was great, service was second to none and pricing was fair, How could you go wrong.

Danny served us Was profetional and perfect!!!!

Visiting from NYC and walked in for lunch— stellar experience, particularly thanks to Danny for the hospitality and excellent beer and food recommendations. Top notch and highly recommend!

Scotch eggs and shepherd's pie are delicious

Had a great pie. Highlight was Danny our waiter.

Went for sunday roast and had a bit of everything. Respectfully: For british food it was pretty good. Star of the dish was the gravy.

Danny was amazing, he recommended food, which was delicious. Pub is clean and well kept, a great spot to spend an evening after work, highly recommend a stop at this beautiful London city pub.

The best meat pie I’ve ever had in my life.

Danny was fantastic. Food was excellent.

Great service from Danny. Delicious food too! Thank you

INCREDIBLE all around! Danny was such a great server as well. We can’t wait to come back here. The service, the vibes, the food 11/10!!!!

Danny was so personable and kind , great service

It's been a while since I've been back to the windmill, I liked the relaxed atmosphere and especially their pies, always delicious. I found a noisy, crowded place, without table service, and above all the pies are no longer what they used to be: they were raw underneath, the meat was dry, very little puree... what a disappointment!

Probably one the worst british foods tried in Central London

Unfortunately for The Windmill, the front of house has been taken a real downward turn. For the three hours we were there, none of the surrounding tables were cleaned, with two being left full of dirty plates and glasses the whole time. Glasses were rarely collected, and instead had to be placed on surrounding tables by my party to clear space on our table. Though some of the staff were welcoming, others spoke to you as if asking for something was a serious inconvenience for them. Have been going to The Windmill for many many years, and have eaten over ten times there. Sadly, I am not sure that I will be going back anytime soon. I would suggest that the front of house staff need some considered focus to better align with the standards that used to come from The Windmill.

Looked up the best pies in Mayfair on Yelp!

Went for dinner here tonight. Delicious pies and desserts, and exceptional service by Arna. Thanks to all at the Windmill for a great dinner!

Great pub and the pies are the best. Thanks Arna for the lovely service.

Danny is amazing - what great food and service.. highly recommend both pub and Danny

Nice sunday Roast! The beef was really succulent, one of the best i had. My mate got the pie.. she was over the moon. Lovely staff!

The Pie we had tasted good. Several were already sold out, so the choice was limited.

Served by Danny, super nice service. Great traditional British food👍🏻

Thanks for a great event. The staff at the Windmill are great, scotch eggs amazing! always a good evening

Great staff and food is scrumptious as always! We pop in here every time we visit London

Extremely disappointed! We were here one year ago and decided it was the best meal of our time in London. So we booked a reservation for my birthday on this trip. They were out of multiple items, some of which we were going to order. Okay, that happens. So I order the seafood pie, which I had last year and it was amazing last year. My husband ordered a pulled pork and apple pie. The verdict: scotch egg was top tier; peas were very good, both pies and mash must have been overcooked and sitting a long time prior to us being served. Almost no seafood or sauce in the pie. Not like prior year. Has now moved to the bottom of our London dining experiences. Also has heavy cigarette smoke in the building. Apparently wafting in from outside. Such a disappointment when it had been so good. Server never asked about the meal. Maybe he knew something.

Great pies, lovely atmosphere and attentive service staff. Just not the friendliest, which I am not used to.

UPDATE: I have been back a couple times a d the service is truly poor. Food is also not as good as it used to be. The chips are solid. Pies used to be amazing. Now average at best. I know now this was my last visit. There is simply better food in London that is worth your hard earned money. Had a reservation and I was promptly seated by a very helpful hostess. Waiter completely ignored me for about 15 mins. Made eye contact but never came over to take an oder. Once he did take my order, he seemed shocked that I also wanted food. I was holding the food menu in my hand. He was more interested in setting the table behind me and the gentlemen next to me. I’ve been here several times over the years and the pies are excellent. The service is normally quite good but today this waiter didn’t seem at all interested. A simple hello or be right with you was all I needed. Instead I was pretty much ignored. Very sad and makes me wonder about if I will ever go back.

Great pub in the heart of the city. Decent Guiness and a nice roof terrace

Great service from our waiter upstairs on the terrace and amazing pies!

Great discovery, we had a great time. Our waitress Anna was perfect. I recommend for the pies but everything was delicious

Brilliant pie restaurant! Really nice authentic establishment that has everything you look for in a good British restaurant. In addition to excellent pies, good service and delicious beer, there is also a small garden on the first floor where you can sit comfortably. Highly recommended.

Decent pub in the centre of London. Friendly bar staff.

Typical English pub where you eat and enjoy very well. Courteous and professional staff, in particular India who was very attentive to our needs/intolerances, advising us on the best.

Tipico pub inglese in cui si mangia e si bene benissimo. Personale cortese e professionale, in particolare India che è stata molto attenta alle nostre esigenze/ intolleranze, consigliandoci per il meglio.

Everything was great! Including Marie, who served us! The pies, fish and chips, drinks, and sticky date pudding were 100percent!

Nice pub of a “fancier type” with excellent pies!

Restaurant très correct Pie de qualité par rapport à d'autres restaurant de Londres Service très bien J'y serait bien retourné
