Contribute FeedbackThe Windmill Inn, a quaint pub on the A1079 near York, has seen a shift in patron perception since new management took over. While some guests have praised the refreshed ambiance, reasonable prices, and attentive staff, others have raised concerns about inconsistent service and food quality. Complaints include cold meals and a lack of responsiveness to feedback, with a few unfortunate diners reporting food-related illnesses. Despite mixed reviews, many regulars appreciate the charming atmosphere and good standards, indicating that with improved management practices, The Windmill Inn could regain its former glory as a local favorite.
Lovely food, brilliant service. Will visit again soon
Good food , friendly greeting and waiting staff but service from the kitchen very slow despite there being few customers dining.
We visited this pub many times before and always received a warm friendly welcome and the food and service were excellent! However, Its seems this place now, with new management struggles with a negative review, and decides to announce on trip advisor you are not welcome anymore comfortingly I am not the only one....it seems if you the management don't agree they report or ban you. Claims were made about our behaviour to a member of staff, my partner spoke to the aspiring manager at the end of the bar out of ear shot, not in front of other customers and I have 4 witnesses to this. The aspiring manager was left on her own to deal with not only my complaints but from several other visitors. When we asked for a manager they were not around, but quick to check trip advisor. The food was cold on arrival after an hours wait and we were told several times before it was coming! I think the manager needs to accept bad reviews and maybe put it right? I'm not welcome any more but I never had any intention of returning!
Food was good, gravy for Sunday roast was excellent, good amount, Yorkshire puds disappointing. Waiter polite, friendly and attentive.
We meet here quite frequently and even though it has changed hands the staff and food is still as good. We would prefer our veg to be served separately like it used to be so you can help yourself and get as much or little as you want. The veg was lovely but hadn't been drained fully so there was a pool of water on our plate, but it didn't spoil anything else on the plate. Pudding was fab! Will be back soon!
