| Popped in for lunch on a saturday last year. They had 7 ales on all from the local crouch vale brewery. Food was tasty though expensive. we moved into the bar area after the meal and sat in some comfy leather sofas and had an enjoyable afternoon. legionuk - 27 Mar 2011 12:16 |
| I must say that Paul's posting sounds like those description's you read in Holiday brochures, which bear little resemblance to reality. Still, the Old Windmill is quite a pleasant pub. My wife and I went there last Sunday and sat in the garden at the front. We went there because we literally could not get a table at the Cafe on the Water by the reservoir - they had not put enough tables outside. There is a nice selection of ales. I plumped for the Adnams, which was well kept. The food looks nice, if a little expensive. My wife had a small bowl of chips which cost nearly £3. It is popular with diners and the staff were efficient and friendly. HornchurchJohn - 21 Apr 2010 16:23 |
| he Old Windmill in South Hanningfield was originally built in 1702 and has proved to be one the most popular pubs in this pretty part of the Essex countryside . It's situated very close to the well known Hanningfield Reservoir, famed for it's Trout, and is a popular venue not only for Fisherman but Twitchers and Ramblers alike who take advantage of some of the lovely countryside surrounding the pub in pursuit of their pastimes. It's a traditional pub in every way with exposed oak beams throughout the premises. It is beautifully kept and an excellent place to come to relax in delightful surroundings. The well furnished bar has an elegant timeless feel about it and shows unusually dedicated attention to detail. Paul - 1 Nov 2005 14:40 |
