| Sadly this pub has not learnt any previous lessons .The lager still remains flat as a pancake just like its customers lifeless .The pub in general is poorly run and like thier glasses dirty to say the least. Overall very very poor,maybe its time to either call it a day or get a proper publican to run it headonpint - 16 Jul 2011 11:56 |
| Quick, friendly service and a very nice pint of Old Speckled Hen too. Even the amateur musicians were good! Overall very civilised on my Friday night visit. ace1973 - 31 Jul 2010 08:54 |
| the windmill used to be a good pub.untill a recent visit .the bitters were to say the least poor.as for the service .only one bar person seemed to be working,whilst the others including the manager sitting around reading books/mags talking to their friends most of the evening.hardly the best example to give to your staff,or customers.i recommend you give this pub a miss unless of course you have alot of patience. headonpint - 13 Oct 2009 11:50 |
| H (below) has called it right - this is an unexpected gem. Bar staff happy and joking, regulars friendly, GK IPA exceptional - you wouldn't believe this was ex-Spoons. Never going to get the serious real ale crowd, but a gem all the same. mtaylor40 - 5 Jan 2009 22:05 |
| Used to be my local 2002-2005 and still pop in when I visit London. Bar staff always helpful and seem happy in their work. Beers always crystal clear and nicely cool, but not chilled too much. Never had a bad pint of bitter in there. Can't say the same for the many new gastro pubs in the SE23/SE22/SE15 area who usually sell bitter, but don't keep it well. They renewed the tired upholstery in 2005 and looking a bit better now, even if the pattern is a bit loud for my taste. Lots of old boys supping ale all afternoon watching Countdown, but the bar staff won't need asking twice to turn it down as drives then nuts too. If you catch the 176, 187 or 122 it will drop you precisely outside the door. Just 4 steps and you are inside :-) Food its traditional tasty English grub that leaves me well satisfied. The most expensive on the menu is the 8oz steak at £6. Highly refreshing compared to the upmarket gastro pub prices, where you cannot get soup of under a fiver. There is a food/restaurant area towards the back of the pub and perfect for families and children ok till six. Decked area out the back ok for a breath of air, but not a place I stay for long. Its tidy and well maintained, but prefer inside.Toilets clean and to high standard too. JustCallMeH - 15 Jul 2007 12:07 |
