About This Pub
Oh, The Windmill in Upminster is one of those pubs that just warms you up from the get-go – it's got that classic British charm with well-kept ales and a menu full of hearty favourites that everyone raves about. I love how the staff really make an effort to look after you, turning a simple visit into a proper good time, whether you're popping in for a quick drink or settling in for a meal. The beer garden's a winner for al fresco sessions, and it's ace for families or if you're bringing the dog along. On the downside, it can get a bit manic when crowds build up, and things might drag on service-wise, so I'd suggest going on a quieter day if you're after a relaxed pint. All in all, it's a solid choice for a laugh with friends, as long as you keep those busy evenings in mind – definitely worth a visit for the grub and atmosphere alone.

Came in last night with friends for food and drinks, like usual, did not disappoint! there was quite a few big groups in but we were still looked after really well. I had the salt and pepper chicken which was beautiful, the curry sauce it comes with is by far the best pub curry sauce i have ever tried, definitely recommend!

First visit to the windmill and i have to say im impressed, the staff were incredibly busy and still tended to us. I have to also mention that Caitlyns service is second to none, i will come back again just because of her, she went above and beyond and Scott's cooking is out of this world the sunday burger is spectacular. See you soon 😊
Had a meal with four people on Saturday - the steak meals that we all had were absolutely fine , but the service is achingly slow. The good weather and the weekend seemed to overwhelm the two bar staff - who did their best, but were woefully inadequate to deal with the customers waiting to order. A real shame.
Found this lovely pub 10 mins away from the station, reasonable prices, service was great, beer garden had trees around, away from the road, I have to say the service was friendly and willing to help, the desserts was tastety, melted in your mouth. Would definitely go again. The found was great.
