  “I visited this pub recently for their Bonsai pop up. The area we sat in was cozy. The service was extremely fast. The staff was friendly and the food was tasty.”

  “Very hipster-esque pub that always seems to be busy on the weekend. A great DJ on 5 June playing motown, soul and funk. Good selection of beers and cider (Orbit!) at the bar.”

  “My partner and I visited to try Tony’s roast after seeing it on social media, we were firstly quite disappointed by where we were sat, right in the back and it was extremely dark. We ordered a Porchetta and a Chicken roast and were very disappointed as soon as it arrived at our table, it was served on a large metal tray, which was giving prison, the mac and cheese looks straight out of a can and the gravy was extremely greasy. The whole meal was too greasy to eat and extremely disappointing, we were also not asked how are food was during or after the meal. I never write reviews but I saw the hype on social media and wanted to give it a go, would not recommend.”

  “I went to The Windmill for the first time to try the roast after seeing it advertised on Instagram. I got the veggie roast, which I will say tasted amazing, but it didn’t quite live up to the pic on the gram! You only get one piece of celeriac instead of the two advertised and I thought it would come with mac and cheese on the plate like in the pic, but that’s a £5 extra. The celeriac tasted delicious and smoky and the veggies and yorkie were great, so I’ll give them that. The mac n cheese was also super yummy, but sadly it came out quite late and so we didn't get to enjoy it till the end. I would say serving it on a pizza plate felt like a strange choice, especially as the gravy was pouring off the plate onto my partner while it was being served to us, lol. The food also wasn’t hot, which was a shame. Overall, I’d give it a solid 6/10. If the service had been quicker and the food hot and served on a different plate, it would have definitely been an 8.”

  “Lovely roast by Barbino from Cin Cin and big chance since last time I had a roast there. Beef was delicious; cooked to perfection as well as the vegetables . Great roast potatoes! I am personally not so keen on the creamy leeks but nothing wrong with them if that’s your taste. I needed some parsnips though! Gravy was delicious and I loved that the roast wasn’t floating on it! Just enough on the plate and extra on the side to top it up as you want. The service was friendly and very attentive. Staff was around checking we were served well and on time. Overall, a very pleasant experience. I would like to go again and try the pork next time. But for now, if beef is your thing, I can happily recommend you to try it at the Windmill. Thumbs up! Ps: book in advance”

  “Honestly the worst roast I've had. We chose The Windmill on good recommendation from some friends, who had assured us this was one of the top spots in Brighton. Unfortunately, it looks like the kitchen has changed because what we received was atrocious. Portions were pitiful, and none of our party felt satisfied with what we'd paid for. On top of this, between booking and dining, the menu had increased every main by roughly £4, taking a roast beef dish (with 1 carrot quartered, roughly 1/8th a leek, 4 small mediocre roast potato's and a tiny Yorkshire pudding) to £24. We appreciated the understanding of the staff, who were happy to take on feedback and apologised for our experience and explained they were getting to grips with their new menu. I get the sense our feedback had common amongst most diners that had visited. Ultimately an incredibly disappointing experience and one that I've had to relay to friends who had been planning to visit. I hope they're able to resolve their issues. We won't be visiting again. (for context, the photo is attached is the Vegetarian Pie at £19. Pie-lid was solid.)”

  “From the ambience to the service - to the food, 10/10! My quest to find a decent roast outside of my Mum's house has been ongoing for years - Alberta's food at The Windmill delivered. A really lovely meal with thoughtful & delicious touches. Particularly impressed with the input from the chef, the pride in their work shines through. Particular highlights; pickles, beef, cauliflower cheese! Highly recommend.”

  “We sat outside in the sun and had a wonderful start to our Saturday. The food catered by Alberta’s is great, maybe the best chicken sandwich I’ve had in Brighton. That being said, it is expensive. £16 for a single sandwich isn’t something I’m gonna make a habit out of but don’t mind for a one-off. Drinks also pricey but that’s not uncommon in Brighton these days.”

  “Saw the roast on Instagram. 4 us went for our wedding anniversary and had the legendary deep fried roast with all the trimmings. Definitely worth a try! Starters where great. Left stuffed 🤣🤣”
