"Restaurant was inviting, festive and warm. The online booking hadn 't worked so they didn 't know we were coming, but found us a table anyway. Saturday lunch, so it was quite busy, but I suspect a second drinks order was forgotten until we reminded them. First glass was (when finished) found to be covered in old fingerprint smears and lipstick marks. Food was generally good, the family enjoyed theirs. I had a wagyu burger which admittedly in a British pub is probably expecting a little much, but it was just a burger, and overcooked. It was tasty, but I wasn 't asked how I 'd like it cooked (which I often have elsewhere and seems to be the norm these days) and it was quite dry. Presumably they can 't say it 's Wagyu unless it actually is, but I think the term is used often casually to mean 'super extra special massaged beer-fed cow meat ' whereas in actual fact it 's just a breed of cattle. So it was just a burger. IT came with bacon which was nicely cooked and actually tasted of smoked bacon (rare these days), and sweet potato fries which were really delicious, crispy and HOT (which is how chips should arrive). Condiments are good quality too. The mains took longer than we would have liked to arrive. All in all, I 'd go back because it 's a nice place, the food is good but needs more attention, and the price is on the high side but still okay. Staff are courteous. more aloof than I would prefer, but probably just right for a lot of people who don 't favour staff interaction much."

"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."
