The Windmill - Maidstone

We visited in Nov 2023 for a friend's birthday meal. All the food was excellently presented and tasted delicious. The staff were first class too. Service: 5

Do they taste the food?! What a shame. Lovely night out because of the company. The serving staff were friendly and pretty attentive, but the food was not good. My friend and I ordered muscles as a main. The muscles themselves were cleaned and cooked well, and they were nice big muscles. But the whole dish completely lacked flavour. There was hardly any sauce, and what was there appeared to be simply made of unsalted butter and water with some boiled onions thrown in. It was very odd! The muscles were nearly £20 and it was an eye watering £5 for a side of chips. Because dinner was so disappointing (for most one friend enjoyed a nice meal), we opted to finish the meal on high other dessert. I had gyspy tart. The tart itself was yummy, but again, the ice cream completely lacked flavour. It was like they hadn't tasted it. It was so strange. For a place with a typical price point of £30 for a maim course, I'd expect a lot better. I won't be returning. At a final bill of £60 per head (with alcohol), it was vastly overpriced and completely disappointing. Service: 5

An all round very pleasant experience. Service: 4 Location: 4

My husband and I came to The Windmill on Sunday, 12th November. I decided on a whim that I didn't want to cook dinner, and as we were already out, we decided to pull into the next village and check out the local pub. What a find!! The car park, to the rear, was almost full. Good sign of a mich loved establishment bit not good if you've not made a reservation. Still, we thought we would chance it and go and investigate. We would have an hours wait, but we thought it would be worth the wait and so we did. With a glass of wine and an Ale. Less than an hour we were take. To our table. We decided on small plates for starters, I had the baked camembert Nd he the scotch egg. Both were delicious. We both decided on the roast, mine was beef, his beef and lamb. The food was amazing and we were totally stuffed. Would we go back? Absolutely. 10/ 10 Service: 5 Location: 5

We've been to The Windmill twice now over the last couple of months and it's been lovely. Great food and service, can definitely recommend the Wellington Wednesday! Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5
