The Windmill on the common - Hotel Review

Service was terrible... so much so that we left! Pregnant lady at dining room didn't crack a smile until I asked, on my way to the bar i might add, to get my drink as no table service was provided (despite seeing staff just standing around or needlessly busying themselves on empty tables) if we could move to one of the numerous, empty tables in the brighter part of dining room!? To which she seemed to take pleasure in telling, with a smile, all the tables were reserved!
My advise... go to the Abbeville, it's cheaper with great food... and great service!

Great location and good spacious room with view. Reasonably priced if book in advance. Just a shame that non hotel guests can join for breakfast.

Decent covid table service with the app... Amazing food

Lovely vibe, great beer garden, long toilet queues though

Really nice Sunday Roast, very well priced, great location for a weekend cider in the sun

Clapham Common is a lovely place to visit as is the pub The Windmill

Was taken here by my son for our last day in London.
My experience was disappointing, the service was poor and the food wasn't great.

visiting friends nice traditional English B&B good food.

Why would you pay for, and then advertise that you show sky sports when you refuse to put the commentary on? Absurd.

Enjoyable, roasts excellent, including vegetarian options, al fresco, relaxed, Izzy the dog welcomed!

Great location for a few drinks on a sunny day by the Common. Food is mediocre. Great selection of beers and fun communal atmosphere.

Nice pub in the common. The night we went there, the pub was very quiet.

It had a great aesthetic, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I would strongly recommend

Great Staff can t compensate for rubbish food. We went for lunch on a Thursday and it was very quiet. The food was very poor. Triple cooked chips are nothing of the sort. They are frozen fried once and not good at that. You can tell a lot about a place by how they do the simple things.
On the plus side the staff are super friendly and helpful.
If you are gluten free they have a very helpful allergen card that tells you that you can eat only four options.

Good beer, but the length of the queues was ridiculous.

Nice and very laid back place. Good coffees. Owners dog is really nice. Cost atmosphere.

We used the Windmill Pub for my mother s wake. I can honestly say that it was the best decision we made , as not only was the service fantastic but also the food was great. The staff attitude was excellent even though the pub was very busy their service was excellent. They even topped up the food if they saw it diminishing. Wow ! Highly recommend well done

We had a great day today at the windmill .
The food was very nice , and the bar staff was very helpful and polite .
Lovely to sit out side in the sunshine with all of the other customers who had dogs .
Well worth a visit if your ever in the area .

Well after writing 2 emails with no response from windmill ill write a review here instead.

We visited the restaurant as a group of 6 from an initial booking of 3 increased over the phone. We were made to wait an hour, for the table as they had told us a spot for 3 was allocated- not 6. This was clearly a lie as we all saw the booking sheet with my name and the number 6 next to it.. After getting food, the waitress brought out the wrong dish for the vegetarian and said "they prob ran out of what you wanted and gave you this instead..." when we asked her to check before deciding what my friend would eat, she came back with the right dish- no apology.

Would never recommend this restaurant. bad customer service, not great food, disappointing they are not interested in keeping locals..

A good vibe, friendly staff and affordable drinks. In a nice location as well

Great local pub, and beer garden is good. Wish they Served breakfast

Very impressed with how cool and diverse the staff are. Give you hiring manager a raise lads.

Great place to stay in South London. Food is very good and overall very hospitable

There for a party in one of the rooms was good but busy

Good outdoor pub if you love dogs! So clearly it's a winner

Cosy Quaint hotel not too far from downtown London. It's approximately 8 min walk from Clapham Common station which is on the Northern Line.
The service team was very friendly and helpful as we arrived a day later.
The Room has a nice, simple deco, sheets and bathroom clean! Overall, very homely and cozy.
Love the bathroom amenities which were provided in the bath room.
The breakfast was heavenly, I had 'The Fry Up' and 'The Veg Fry Up'.. delicious!
Theres a beautiful resident pub dog called Max, he's a famous mountain bernese, very gentle and happy boy!
I'll definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a truly local English experience.

We always go there after social volleyball... Love this place

Lovely pub, drinks and atmosphere and we come often. Ate here for the first time today. I can't say we will eat here again. The food was average. Nice chips but soggy batter on fish. Vegan menu options limited to processed replacements ie More

Good place to go for a drink. Decent selection of drinks. Friendly staff and nice ambiance.

Nice boozer. Staff is getting better. They used to have substandard people but it s improving nicely.

The pub has a decent selection of beers. The chips were cold and veggie burger just average. The sausage and mash was good. We waited over 40 minutes for our pudding. It still isn't here so I can not tell you if it is worth the wait. I have my doubts. Just came, too sweet for my tastes, unfortunately.

Arrogant rude staff.
Avoid! avoid!

Did not expect to find this quality of room this close to the centre at this price , we ate out but breakfast was superb very attentive staff and great value

A really nice place with lovely food and friendly staff

It was very nice. Very lovely atmosphere and location and served delicious drinks.

Lovely traditional pub in a fantastic park side location. Rooms / food and drink for every individual / family and the beautiful Clapham Common as its front garden. Parking is very limited mind, but it's very accessible by public transport being very well connected to both bus and train networks. If you're in the area pop in and check it out!

Good beer and venue but horrendously over priced food

drinks were over priced . I guessed we ate in London centre . Otherwise is OK

We stayed for two nights. The room was of a good size and the Decor was delightful. The room was cleaned beautifully and in all the room and cleanliness were first class.
The pub is brilliant with a great atmosphere and it is nice to see a "dog-friendly" pub. Free biscuits are supplied for the dogs as well as iced water on tap for them when they also need a drink!!
The bar food was excellent but when you venture into the restaurant this is when the standard drops. On both days breakfast was not up to standard. We were warned that the plates were hot but it is such a pity that the food was only tepid at best. Perhaps we should have left it on the plate longer so that it heated up?
When we had lunch I ordered the Turkey and I assumed it would have been carved from the bone but t was served up in two circular pieces. I have never seen a circular turkey so I can only assume that it was processed or something similar At Christmas time surely it is not too much to expect fresh turkey?
The location is great and there are lots of good places to eat within a 5 minute walk so do not let the restaurant put you off staying in a very charming and delightful hotel.

Really great beer selection, plenty of space for dining and the biggest dog. Also spacious outside space

The place is cute but...

Again the place is cute which is what it gets its 1 star for but Clapham has SOOOO much better places to eat that doesn't require a loan.

It's just a typical pub nothing special about it. Not been in the hotel bit so couldn't comment.

Much nicer than I anticipated. Good service (a busy hot Monday evening) amd nice beer.
Maybe a little expensive though.

Nice pub w/ good food and an outdoor seating area, right beside Clapham Common - this place is also a hotel, but we only visited the pub so can't comment on this.

Lovely place to eat and have drinks! Great location and lovely staff! We had a Christmas dinner and the food was delicious! Thank you!

Spacious traditional pub and dining room with comfy sofas and attractive outdoor area.

Great location to meet people for group drinks, especially on a nice day when you can go onto the Common first. Can get a bit busy, especially when the Rugby is on.

Very stylish pub with wide variety of craft beers. It's close to Clapham Common park - so it's nice place for refresh ment. In summer time you can sit outside.

Food was awful. Burger was poorest quality I've ever had. Nice outdoor seating and dog friendly.

Nice pub on the common, burger shack is great. Friendly staff and good menu.

Love the decor, little expensive but good atmosphere and friendly bar staff.

Nice place on Clapham Common. Great ale selection, nicely done up and dog friendly. It was nicely busy when I went (a cloudy Saturday in April). Looked like the food selection was good too.

Just came to the restaurant- good food but the service wasn't as good.

Cracking pub. Decent food, great spot on a sunny day. Nicely decorated inside. Good atmosphere

Horrible. Ordered calf liver main course. Past off pigs liver as calfs liver. So badly cooked, so tough, a knife would not cut it. When pointed out, the waiting staff said it was calf, when liver was obviously not. 3.5cm to 4cm tall. No apology. Be very careful what you order. Personally would give it a miss, unless totally desperate.

Excellent place with excellent service !!! To enjoy it

Always a pleasant experience. Nice staff and great atmosphere. Great place to go with friends, prefer going to The Windmill in the summertime because of the lovely beer garden.

Massive pub with good food and beers and an interesting interior

One of my favourite pubs in London, very cosy and excelent to have a pint with friends and chill.

Great environment but service gets slow when it's a busy(ish) day
