About Windmill

Lively pub with theatrical decor & clientele, serving classic English food, cask ale & craft beer.

Two bar pub handy for the Old Vic and Young Vic theatres. Interior has traditional wood panelling and flooring. Walls are adorned with lots of theatre celebrity photographs reflecting past players at the local theatres. Regular live music on Saturdays with a variety of styles. One bar can be hired for functions. Board games available at weekends. There is 1 handpump in the front bar and 3 more almost hidden behind a pillar between the 2 bars.

    Popped in on a Saturday evening for a drink. Busy traditional pub with a nice atmosphere. Outside a selection of tables and lots of small cute tables inside. Efficient bar staff. Our table had a handbag / jacket hook, very handy. Clean toilets.

    Very pleasant pub, conveniently located close to Waterloo and Southwark Stations. Service is friendly. The food was good.

    Stopped off for a bite to eat...long day walking and sightseeing...my haddock and chips was nice- hubby enjoyed his burger and chips. The atmosphere pleasant- think there was a group celebrating a birthday-also a live singer which he was good, all in all okay.

    Called in for a late lunch after a morning at the Oval Test. We found out later that the chef was about to go off duty when we called in but stayed on to prepare what I can honestly state was the best fish and chips I've ever had. Piping hot, freshly cooked haddock, perfect crispy chips. Really good service from bar staff too. I need to find a reason to go back. Not many in when we arrived but place was buzzing when we left.

    Popular pub, nice atmosphere. Good selection of lagers but only Fuller's Pride bitter available and poorly drawn. As a brewery owned (although they have sold brewery I think?) pub it should have more bitters.
