What Paradise778598 doesn't like about The Windmill Inn:
The enjoyment of our meal was completely disrupted by patrons standing at the bar vaping. We were forced to leave before finishing our meal due to my elderly father's asthma being aggravated by the noxious smell and fumes. The staff were pleasant and the food was tasty. However, the overpowering scent from the vaping customers, who were openly smoking at the bar, was a major drawback. View all feedback. What twatofalad likes about The Windmill Inn:
Always enjoyable to visit this pub the staff are all usually very pleasant and helpful The menu is very limited but what is available is usually pretty good. The ales and lagers are kept well with guest ales to try there is a large outdoor area to enjoy View all feedback.

Nice staff and nice drinks. Quiet but pleasant atmosphere, and a very warm and welcoming little pub to spend a chilled Friday night.

Welcoming and friendly staff with a great choice of drinks but due to unforeseen circumstances food not available for walk in customers, perhaps next time.

Located in Derby, The Windmill Inn offers a blend of charming hospitality and a cozy pub atmosphere. Though some patrons found the ambiance lacking and experienced delays during busy hours, many praised the friendly staff, particularly Yvonne, for their attentive service. The food, featuring well-presented dishes like meatball sub and hearty roast lunches, received positive feedback, showcasing a commitment to quality. Recent improvements under new management have revitalized the space, drawing back familiar faces while creating a welcoming environment for newcomers. Despite some logistical challenges, delightful dining experiences await those willing to visit.
