The Windmill - Dacorum

Now been sitting here for 1 hour still awaiting the lunch to turn up. Would understand if it was busy. The pub it self is nice. But the landlord seems to be the only one keeping the place working well. He was out today. And it showed!!!

We took some friends from abroad to this pub as they wanted to visit a typical old English pub and to eat a typical meal and a pint of beer. Unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience. We had to wait an hour for the food to be served, the garlic mushrooms were full of liquid, looked like they had been frozen and not thawed properly, the chips were flavourless and gave the impression they had been reheated. The beer Doombar quickly lost its flavour and became warm while we were waiting so long. My steak and kidney pie was inedible apart from the meat. It appears that day the pub was having an unannounced hygiene inspection which caused the delay. The lady serving us apologised and gave us a small deduction off the bill. Very disappointing introduction to English food and beer for our friends, especially as previous visits to this pub had been fine.

Good value Sunday lunch in a comfortable old fashioned environment. Good food service. A leisurely family lunch experience with a nice garden too.

My spouse and I used to frequent this pub many years ago for a drive before getting married. Now that we live closer, we decided to revisit for a meal. The quaint village pub has remained unchanged, serving proper pub grub in generous portions. Dave, the owner, is exceptionally friendly and we reminisced about the old times and past staff members. We are glad we decided to return to this charming spot.

Nice quaint pub, away from the traffic of the common down the road. Service was really lovely and friendly the man behind the bar was an absolute delight! Good prices around £9 for a pint of Thatchers and a pint of Strongbow. Lovely beer garden area to enjoy the drinks in, as well as a gorgeous building to snoop around. Sadly, food seemed limited to certain time frames which meant we couldn't eat when we visited, which was a shame as would love to have tried their meals. Maybe next time!
