Windmill Inn - Harrogate

Went for lunch with an ex work colleague in early July. The menu was quite wide ranging and also provided smaller portions at reduced prices. The service was friendly and very good throughout, whilst the meals were of good quality and provided good value. I personally found the small portion quite adequate. The pub/restaurant is in a rural village setting. The main restaurant is located up some steps although their are some tables at entry level. It has a good sized car park, although access, particularly exiting can be a little narrow.

We’ve been visiting here intermittently for many years. It’s brilliant, great selection of beers and fantastic food at reasonable prices. Lovely beer garden and friendly service too.

Well heard new chef thought I’d give it a whirl a few of us, wow what a shock. Cold burger. ??? How can a burger be cold unless it’s not fresh and reheated. Will I go again no while this chef is here. Wow just wow this must be the worst meal I’ve ever had here ever

Wow came here beginning of June and it was awful no personality the staff was miserable and the beer was dreadful but as we live in the area we had heard a new landlady had moved in so off we went again to see what it was like, I have to eat my word because the staff were great,smiling and professional... A young girl served us in the garden which was packed by the way and she was following a lady,I think the landlady as she was very attentive towards her.but we have to say the food was fantastic and just the whole afternoon was great, will definitely be coming in as our local now.can’t wait to order the new pizzas also.

What is going on at this pub? Theakstons has always been spot on, last few visits not great. At 4.70 it should be sparkling, I know some beers these days are deliberately sold cloudy but Theakstons Best Bitter is not one of them Please try also to provide a wedge of lime/lemon so that it the juice can be squeezed out instead of the tiny sliver provided at the moment.
