Why should any one employed at the Windmill or the brewary management care about the customers, all there interested in is profit. Due to its location it will always be packed in the summer, it would be interesting to see how it would survive elswhere. If you have a complaint about any aspect of the pub, nobody is really interested in listning to you or for that matter do they really care. If you tell them that you will never use the pub again, they just shrug their shoulders knowing that there will be hundreds more coming through the door, totally ignorant of its attitude to customers. My advise if you must drink there, have one pint and move on and under no circumstances order food.

What a great location but so overpriced!

What a shame.

Last year, this was the place to be in Summer; the location is great, the atmosphere good and nice food.

I don't know if the management has changed, but this year; it's really gone down hill.

The food is terrible and very overpriced. There's just no thought put into it, flavours that don't go together at all which just end up tasting of nothing.
In fact, two of our party were actually ill the day after.

The service is some of the worst I've ever experienced and that's saying a lot. It would be better if they didn't have any and just had an "order at the bar" setup...

In all, if you want a place to drink a cold one with some mates during the summer, then this is still a good place to hang out; but whatever you do, don't eat there!

I really hope they turn this around soon as it really is a sad loss of what was a great all-rounder.

Until then, they should stop trying to pretend to be a serious high quality restaurant and just concentrate on being a good pub.

Very disappointed.

Nice location in the summer but that is about it....Living on goodwill of years gone by.

This pub used to be great, however over the last few years it's acquired more tasteless decor, become increasingly expensive and the standard of food (in particular) and beer has slipped. Many of the staff are rude and unable to serve a full bar quickly and efficiently.

Celebrating a friends 30th recently and the bar maid waited until 10 mins before last orders to come over to our table and ID some of us. One person happened to have no proof (we were all well over age) so she confiscated her drink. No qualms with being ID at the bar at the start of the night and would have taken it as a compliment. So, having asked why the person in question had been allowed to buy drinks at the bar 3 times and nothing had been said when our table had been cleared countless times by this particular barmaid through the night one of her many poor reasons was "you're not wearing make up". Ignorant and rude.

Icing on the cake - we're never going back.
