The Windmill on the Common, Clapham Common

There was a time when this was a good pub, with good food, and a nice family-friendly vibe. That was about fifteen years ago. Happy days. Now the beer and food is insanely expensive, the management couldn't give a toss because they're guaranteed business thanks to the location, and the staff are jaw-droppingly rude come throwing-out time. Don't be fooled by the hoardes of punters hanging out of the place on a sunny Sunday lunchtime, or the comfy traditional pub interior. Unlike most restaurants, just because it's busy doesn't mean it's good. They don't deserve your trade. Avoid.
