Windmill Pub in London

6-8 Mill St, London W1S 2AZ

About This Pub

Ah, the Windmill – it's one of those pubs that just feels right from the moment you step in, tucked away in the heart of Mayfair where you can escape the hustle of Regent Street. I've got to say, their pies are a real highlight; they're award-winning for a reason, with fresh, British ingredients that make every bite feel like a treat, and pairing them with a cold ale or a spritz is just the cherry on top. The staff are genuinely lovely, always up for a chat and making sure you're sorted, which adds to that warm, homely feel. On the flip side, though, things can get a tad expensive, especially with the drinks, so it might not be the best spot if you're watching the pennies. Still, for a special outing or a quick lunch, it's spot on – just keep in mind it fills up fast and food service ends a bit early, so plan accordingly if you're popping by with friends.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The pies are absolutely spot on – award-winning and packed with flavour, like the steak and kidney or venison ones that folks rave about.
It's in a brilliant spot in Mayfair, just off Regent Street, making it dead easy to pop in after shopping or a wander around Oxford Circus.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a clean, spacious setup that's perfect for a relaxed meal or catching up with mates over a pint.
They've got a great selection of drinks, from cask ales and craft beers to gins and cocktails, so there's something for everyone.
Service is top-notch, with friendly staff who go the extra mile to make you feel at home.

Cons

Drinks can be a bit pricey, like that double bourbon coming in at nearly £12, which might sting if you're out for a casual night.
Food service wraps up relatively early, around 7pm, so it's not ideal if you're after a late bite.
The place is popular, which means it can get busy, and you might have to book ahead to snag a table without any hassle.

We stopped here for a late lunch, and decided to split a pie in order to have room for dessert. We tried the black pudding Scotch egg which was especially good when paired with the sauce. The yolk was cooked perfectly with a creamy center. We opted for the steak & kidney pie, and it was superb! It was the first time in my life I thought that kidneys were tasty. The kidney bits really complemented the richness of the steak and mushrooms. Then we got a sticky-toffee pudding to share, and it was amazing! The cake was warm and not too sweet, which made it a perfect match for the ice cream and sweet caramel pool beneath it. Definitely one of the best desserts I've ever had. The staff are friendly, and it's a really comfortable, clean space. Highly recommend!!

Super clean and warm pub lots of food spaces to sit and eat/talk. Food is good quality. Everyone on our table enjoyed what they ordered. It was an excellent experience

PHG !

A nice pub in a good location, close to Regent Street and a shoŕt walk ftom Carnaby Street. They had three casks on but I opted for a double Woodford Reserve bourbon at a rather expensive £11.90. The main bar is fairly spacious and the restaurant bar is downstairs, accessed by going down four steps. They also have a restaurant upstairs. I was here at 4.30 on a Monday and it was fairly busy, due in part to a group of a dozen or so tourist. They do offer food with pies being a speciality. One downside for the less mobile is that the toilets are upstairs. I did enjoy my drink here, the bonus being around 20 different whiskies.

Best pies in London! Great midweek treat, tucked away in Mayfair. We had to make a hard choice as all the pies sounded delicious, we ended up with the steak and mushroom. Amazing quality and fantastic service from Danny - very attentive and accommodating. Thank you, we will be back!

It’s a pub with the best pie! If you love pie and mash this place is for you. If I’m in London I go here for pie and mash it’s a simple dish but tastes good and is cooked well. Steak pie is what I usually go for but I’ve also tried the chicken and both just as good as each other. I would recommend this food. Pie is £25 which seems expensive for what it is but you are in Mayfair. Always very busy so you may struggle to get a table. Would I go back? Yes!
