Windmill in City of London, Westminster

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👍👍

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Had a great pie. Highlight was Danny our waiter.

Scotch eggs and shepherd's pie are delicious

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!

Danny served us Was profetional and perfect!!!!

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 fantastic. Food was excellent.

Great service from Danny. Delicious food too! Thank you

Danny was so personable and kind , great service

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.

Probably one the worst british foods tried in Central London

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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Always love The Windmill for a pie and a pint. Young’s mix for an authentic beer and great service. We never feel rushed here and make a point to come every time we are in the UK.

Nice pub with a roof terrace, which is rare in this part of London. Pie wasn't as good as the reputation suggests, but my friend enjoyed theirs.

We’ve had the loveliest of times at the Windmill. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and food was absolutely delicious. Deserves all the awards it’s gotten!

We rece try celebrated a birthday at the Windmill Pub. Izzy our Waitress recommend the fish pie and she was right is was delicious. Great atmosphere and friendly knowledgeable service from Izzy Thank you we will return

The food was just so-so. We had to wait on our meals and they were over priced for a Sunday Roast. We may have done better by just ordering bar food. The staff was nice but the long wait and so-so food put a damper on the meal.

We came specifically to this place in the center for the pies. It did not disappoint our expectations, spectacular pies and very kind staff. Luke gave us excellent advice. Try the sticky toffee pudding!

The food is delicious and friendly excellence services.

We went to this pub and it was amazing. Service was brilliant and kasha and Adi did made our stay fantastic! Thank you guys we will be back

Come here for the pies, they're great! The beer isn't bad either.

Anna was extremely nice and shared her lovely perfume with me.

Rej was great and attentive. The fairy lights were cute!

Today I had the best Sunday roast I have ever had! The atmosphere is so nice, the staff is friendly. I'd recommend this place if you want to experience British culture.

Very good atmosphere and beers 😊

If ya like meat pie , this is the best place to eat it !!!

Consistently delicious, generous pies and great service. I love the pies at the Windmill and will always come back for more!

Admittedly, I came here for the fish and chips and that's all I ate. It was heavenly. Lightly battered, perfectly fried, and the chips were out of this world. Would come back again and again.

Great pie and a solid variety of tasty beers, very impressed. Marie’s service was excellent.

A place that I 100% recommend if you need to eat in London. Special mention for the “shepherds pie” which gave us a delicious insight into English cuisine! Their wine collection was great, not to mention the service which was top notch, don’t hesitate!

I went to the windmill with friends for a meal on a Saturday and got great service from Luke and amazing steak and mushroom pies and guiness. We will be back!

Delicious pies and lovely service. Will return!

Had the Steak and Kidney pie with mash and if I’m being honest, the pie was average at best, Kidney was rubbery (Could and did bounce) and the steak was more like mince meat with a couple pieces of steak. Pasty was a little dry and mash you could tell was old and also not enough. The gravy while the most flavourful thing about the dish (Yes I did pour the gravy in the pie) was thin. I don’t thinks it’s worth the price and I’ve had better. £25 for pie mash and greens.

Was recommended by a local to come here for delicious pub food. It did not disappoint! The fried haddock melted in your mouth and the chicken, bacon, and leek pie was hot and fresh. Marie was a friendly and helpful server. Come here for a great experience!

Great pub to watch the game and mingle

They say it’s one of the best places in London to have the pies. Perfect place to bring friends who came to visit London. The pies are very delicious and the choice is rather big so you could find the one you like. Polite and kind service. The place itself is very good as well: good location, everything is clean and the atmosphere is great(especially if there’s a football match(obviously)). Highly recommend to visit this place and try their pies. (Pardon me for such a variety of media, but hey on one of them you can see how you are supposed to eat the pie. ;) )

Absolutely delicious Dorset lamb shepherd’s pie and pork sausage roll! The dining area was nicely decorated and the waitress was very nice and friendly too. This is a pub where I’ll definitely return in near future!

Outstanding food and outstanding service from Ana, our waitress.

Friendly and helpful staff. Great place to go if you want some British pub food in particular pastry pies. I ordered a pulled pork and Bradley apple pie with mash and it was really filling. Couldn’t resist the pastry but the pulled pork would be perfect if it’s a bit more juicy! Our party of 5 people were all happy with the meal.

The friendly waiter explained the menu and made recommendations. It was a very successful choice. Highly recommended.

Very good pub for lunch, very good beef pie, super friendly service. A good time, I recommend!

Popped in en route from London Pride parade before heading to soho, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Had a couple of drinks and some chips to line the stomach! Will definitely revist for a meal soon.

Rohit was amazing. Very attentive. Great service

Our server Ana was amazing and so was the food. The entire experience would be 5 stars except when we entered the bar we were greeted by a Blonde lady who was incredibly rude to us. Thankfully Ana seen this and apologised.

Excellent pies and good beer. Highly recommended.

Excellent pies one of the best places for a pie in London. Great service from Marie. Cask ale is on tap but today only Young's London Original, ideally three should be at least 3 quality cask ales on tap so please take a look into this and improve the selection.

We all munched on a pie!!! you were great!!

Business lunch. All enjoyed the food and Maria looked after us very well. Good portions and tasty .

Luke was exceptional! Really pleasant and attentive 👍

I had mushroom pie and tomato salad. Since the portions are large, I think it would be best to split one portion between two or three people. It is a popular restaurant and can get quite crowded, so we recommend making reservations in advance.

Lovely pub. Workers are friendly. Shepherds pie was pretty good and fish and chips were well fried. Everything was under seasoned for our taste though.

I went to the Windmill on Friday having not been for a while. I brought with me some very fussy and demanding colleagues and all of us could not have been more happy with the food and the amazing level of service that they gave us. So lovely to see happy, smiling and accommodating people from the moment we entered the pub until we had finished our delicious lunch. I will be back and I will recommend on. Thank you!

Had an exceptional experience at The Windmill Pub in Mayfair. Marie was a fantastic server, providing great service and making sure we were well looked after. The wine selection was excellent, and the overall atmosphere was perfect. Highly recommend!

Great location, amazing food and thoughtful service. Recommended!

A nice pub and we had a lovely evening. We had tartare, Scotch eggs and pie as the main course. Our service was also very friendly and cordial. This pup can be recommended.

The best pies in the West End. Issy was so welcoming and delivered a great level of service.

Great service Have to have one of their pies

Izzy and Luke are great! Highly recommend!

Great service and atmosphere. Izzy was amazing

Best pub I have ever been. Amazing food and really kind staff I can't wait to come back soon

Incredible food Steak and Mushroom pie and roast dinner with a massive Yorkshire Pudding. The service from Issy and Luke was top notch. Will visit again when back!

My friend had a very good recommendation on this place so we gave it a try. I had the scotch eggs and shared a mushroom and steak pie with my friend - both were very delicious. Lovely and attentive staff as well. Highly recommend

This place is legit! I’ve lived in London 10 years and yet to find a decent Sheppards Pie till today. The hostess Ana was amazing and took great care of my group. I would definitely recommend if you’re in the area, such luck we happened upon this place.

Good food, good felloship, great atmosphere and service!!

A traditional pub with excellent pies—wonderful inside and out. Nice casual atmosphere.

We had the private room upstairs for an event and it was absolutely perfect! Staff were great and the food was really nice! I highly recommend if you ever in need if a private space. The pub downstairs was also vibey

Lovely pulled pork pie and Guinness for Saturday dinner,partner had venison pie stuffed full of meat with delicious pastry.Staff very friendly and helpful

Great food! Great service, Izzy was particularly wonderful! We’ll be back.

Your typical British Pub in the middle of posh Mayfair.....supposed to be famous for its award winning Pies. Frankly, overall, the 'pub-grub' were just borderline good and acceptable, IMO, over-rated. The overly dry Scotch eggs were a disappointment. The fish components of the Fish & Chips were over cooked. The batter is too excessively thick. The Pies were ho-hum...nothing stood out. Turned out, the star of the evening was the ' Sticky Toffee Pudding ' dessert!! Not too sweet, moist and addictively tasty!
