Review of The Windmill on the common - Hotel

3 years ago

Disappointed.

Disappointed.
Saturday. I drove 90 minutes to get to this place which someone recommend as brunch worthy.

My chicken with a savoury waffle was confused with the desert option.
The staff lack basic table waiting skills, perhaps a morning being trained.
A simple drinks order came by installments.
Items ordered on a tablet were missed when our food came along.

A huge contrast to the experience I enjoyed at the Bell Inn in Outwood (Surrey) 18hrs ago.

So I'm going to avoid this place in future because it's just a trap exploiting its enviable location or they cannot be bothered to provide a decent dining experience.

The only person who enjoyed her meal appears to be my daughter but you can't really call the kids option your star dish and I don't know if she was just really hungry.
