| If this place wasn't on the only pub directly on the Common it would have closed down years ago. Badly served terrible food, just about average beer, nasty decor and seemingly constantly soaring prices make this place one to avoid. theoneandonlyjoe - 12 Apr 2011 18:17 |
| I visited The Windmill to eat twice last year and I thought it was fine for somewhere to eat. I'm surprised to see every recent comment about the food below is negative - the roast dinner I had the first time was nice - admittedly £14 is top-whack for a pub roast. No-one I was with on either occasion had any complaints about the 2/3 courses they had anyway. On a Sunday afternoon without a booking they did say they needed us done by a certain time (90 minutes or so away) so they could reserve it for someone else - this was fine for us at the time but I this could have been inconvenient in some situations. The beer was certainly expensive and on both visits was constantly being sent back to be topped up (whether at the bar or in the restaurant) - I wondered whether this was a deliberate ploy to squeeze a few extra pennies out of people who they guess don't notice or care? It's certainly not aiming to catering for the traditional ale drinker - but luckily there are other Young's pubs in the area that still do (The Nightingale, The Grove). Whale_Jnr - 1 Mar 2011 13:45 |

| Friday night it was pretty empty, totally overpriced drinks, £20 8oz steak was as tough as the sole of my shoe, terrible waiting staff, our server nipped out for a fag between serving our courses, I had to go outside to find her to complain! AVOID at all costs - and judging by the amount of people there on a friday night you already have! Gordie1973 - 29 Nov 2010 10:15 |
| If only the photo at the top of this page was correct. It shows a nice quiet looking pub. I arrived yesterday evening to what seemed like a rave, with a DJ and his decks at the front, a merry throng and a guy selling sausages. I decided to enter into the comparative tranquility of the inside. After finally getting to the bar, I had the choice of Youngs Ordinary, Special, London Gold or Sambrooks Wandle for beers or Addlestones for cider. Low and behold, my cider came in a plastic glass. What is it with Clapham pubs that means they have to use plastic glasses? The interior is fairly cavernous with several large drinking areas. I sat in a rather pleasant one with wood panelling, a piano and a TV showing World Cup Football. This pub has a wonderful location and an attractive interior. I'm sure they're making lots of money. But unfortunately it's not for me. On exiting, I had a little accident with my plastic glass. It seems plastic can't take too strong a grip - oh dear! blue_scrumpy - 27 Jun 2010 13:05 |
