"One redeeming feature was the service, waiter attentive and friendly, food delivered to us promptly. Unfortunately I cannot say such nice things about the food. Starters were the Doughballs and Calamari, both of which were pretty average. The 'herb butter ' (or whatever the dip for the Doughballs is called) was very bland, only serving to give the Doughballs a greasy texture. No complaints about the Calamari, but I won 't be rushing to recommend it to anyone. The mains however, were bad. We ordered the Beef Burger and the Italian Hot Pizza. The Burger was dripping in mayo, and I mean properly dripping think of a Christmas pudding with icing dribbling down the sides, that 's what this burger looked like. Fries served with the Burger were noticeably microwaved, but the Patty and Veg were passable. The Italian Hot is visually appealing, and the pizza base is okay, but my god were the toppings bland. If it wasn 't for my eyesight and a vague taste of cheddar cheese or monterey Jack, I would not be able to tell if I was eating warm soggy cardboard or a Pizza. I should note that the pizza is only topped by mozzarella, according to the menu. Thoroughly dull food, and quite overpriced for the quality. Why am I writing this? What did I expect, from a chain restaurant? Well, a lot more than this. I 'm by no means a fussy eater and certainly not one to leave 1/5 review for a soggy pizza base in Frankie and Benny 's. The real sin of this meal is what it does to the gut my partner and I feel physically ill after eating here, like we want to go home and eat lettuce for the rest of our lives to detox our bodies. It 's bad, and absolutely not worth the money. If you 're hungry, go to Tescos and get a meal deal, it 's much tastier, healthier, and reasonably priced. It 's not worth it."

"Edit Oct 2020: customer service and food quality have taken a dive off a cliff. In 2 orders, I was served rock hard frozen cakes, the wrong cake, the wrong pizza toppings, sauce on a burger that wasn’t asked for and staff ignoring my in person request to not put peppers on my food. Go to Veggie Lounge around the corner. It’s superior in every aspect. Original review below. Veggie Supreme have a good thing going and they know it. There are a few pizza places nearby, all of them really good to be honest but there are a couple of things offered here you won’t find at those other places including.... Jerk chicken. Vegan mock meat pizza toppings are usually limited to pepperoni, chicken (tikka or otherwise), sausage and ham in my experience. Jerk chicken has a really nice zing to it and livens up the pizza in a different way to the usual offerings. It tastes really good and you need to try it out if you’re a pizza lover. Stuffed crust for vegans. This is a bit of a holy grail as it’s usually the 1 thing missing when you go out for vegan pizza but here it is in all its cheesy glory. Couple these with a HUGE menu, including lots of desserts both hot and cold and this adds up to a great eating experience. So why not 5* just personal preference as I prefer my pizza to have a slightly thinner thin crust than you get here but make no mistake, this is some fantastic pizza that you should try out if you’re in the area."

"--- First of all, this is the best place I’ve been to with my best friend. For some reason, we often find ourselves at restaurants where the quality of food doesn't match the price, but that was not the case here. I’ll break my review down into sections, starting with the quality of the food. **Quality of Food:** I couldn’t fault it at all. Everything was absolutely delicious, and we both agreed on that. The fish and burger were particularly memorable; neither of them left us feeling sluggish or unwell because they were cooked to perfection. They had a homemade feel and were healthy yet filling—way better than a greasy fish and chips joint or a typical burger place. Everything was served hot and met very high standards. For starters, we shared some garlic bread, which was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. It was a generous portion for two, and it came with a sharp knife, allowing us to cut it into eight pieces—four satisfying pieces each. For dessert, they had some great options, like honeycomb milkshakes and other unique offerings that you don’t often see, but sadly, they ran out of what my friend wanted. We ended up going for the classic vanilla milkshake and fudge cake, which I can confidently say was amazing. It was the best dessert I’ve had in a long time! It was so creamy, and the vanilla ice cream was anything but boring; it tasted exactly like proper vanilla should. **Price of Food:** We were pleasantly surprised when our bill came to just £37, especially considering the generous portions we received. It was absolutely worth the price. Just a note about leaving tips: if you want to tip by card, you need to ask the staff to add it into the card machine because they have to input the amount manually. **Staff:** The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Even the bartenders noticed my friend’s shopping bag and kindly found a plastic bag for them. **Service:** The service was prompt, and if we needed more time before ordering dessert, they happily accommodated us. Since we visited on a Monday, it wasn’t too busy, which meant we could enjoy our meal at a comfortable pace. **Variety of Menu:** They offered an extensive menu with so many options. Even as someone who can be quite picky, I found plenty of choices to satisfy my cravings. There wasn’t a huge variety of desserts, but the options they had were excellent. **Cleanliness:** Everywhere seemed immaculate, including the cutlery. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant!"

"Booked a table on line, which was easy enough. Arrived at the Windmill, the lady logged in to find our booking, which took a little while as the app kept logging her out, and it had ‘the longest ever password’ to log in her words not mine. Took our seats, and ordered our drinks via the app. After about 10 mins, the same lady asked if we were ok, we said we were waiting for drinks, she went back to the bar and retrieved our order and brought our drinks to us. Next round of drinks which again were order via the app arrived promptly. Next we ordered our mains. Medium rare 10oz stake, and a lasagna. Food arrived. Lasagna was very good. Not overpowered with tomato or garlic, very tasty. Hubby’s medium rare stake was overcooked making it a bit dry and lacking taste, but he didn’t want to wait for another to be cooked. Not once did anyone check with us how the meal was. During the meal we ordered another round of drinks, and waited patiently. The lack of drinks made a dry steak even less palatable. We finished the meals (well left half the steak) yet still no drinks. After 25 minutes I went to the bar to cancel the drinks and ask for a refund. After tapping many buttons, hey presto the order was located. There was much confusion over how to do a refund, and at one stage it was suggested that we may have to have cash and the staff member sort it later, but eventually it got sorted as a refund to the card. STILL NO ENQUIRY AS TO HOW THE MEALS WERE!!!!!! As much as I enjoyed the lasagna, I don’t think we will visit again. One member of staff was spending more time having a chat with the locals than checking on things. There were a lot of food orders being collected for delivery, I felt that these were being prioritised above the seated diners. I wish I could say the pub was busy, but it really wasn’t so there was no excuse."
