  “A ruined 50th wedding anniversary celebration Twelve of us visited The Windrush on Saturday 17 October to celebrate my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. We had been asked to pre-order because of our group size, yet the food and service were incredibly disorganised. Despite the pub being very quiet for 7.30pm on a Saturday, nobody came to take our drinks order. We had to keep going to the bar throughout the evening, and the rosé was served warm. We waited over an hour for starters, which arrived at different times and were extremely disappointing. The nachos appeared to be little more than Doritos. My parents’ sharing Camembert was missing, and when we chased it 20 minutes later, we were told it hadn’t even been started. The couple we were there to celebrate were left watching everyone else eat. The mains arrived in dribs and drabs and were equally poor. The seafood basket was a plate of deep-fried pieces that were difficult to identify and appeared to be mostly scampi. In my opinion, this was the worst restaurant meal I have ever had. Our pre-ordered chips arrived around 30 minutes after the mains. The vegetables were also missing and only appeared after we asked about them around 20 minutes later. The young staff seemed to be trying their best, but the evening was badly managed. Our bill was £400.67, including a £36.42 service charge—an outrageous price for the quality and service we experienced. This should have been a wonderful family celebration. Instead, we spent the evening waiting, chasing orders and eating separately. A deeply disappointing experience that spoiled a milestone occasion.”

  “We have ben here for the last few hours and it’s been great! the service is absolutely amazing, the pub was full of customers which was very reassuring and created a great atmosphere. We have 3 children with us and they were entertained with the kids area and games so us adults could relax! great pub and would highly recommend!”

  “Shocking service with the food. Forgot some of the dishes, with some arriving 20 minutes after the first plates were brought out. Had to chase up the kids menu, which when it did arrive, was wrong and had to be set back to the kitchen. And the poor waitress is left to try and explain where the food is, but no sign of a manager. I would understand more if they were busy, but we ordered our food in advance, and the re was hardly anyone else eating.”

  “We drove over here with our little boy just. As soon as we opened the car door the horrendous stench of rotten off fish filled the air. Other diners seemed to be rushing out of the restaurant with a disgusted look on their faces from the stench! Filled our car as well to the point where we quickly had to make the call and leave and still our car smells of off fish 15 mins later. I hope you aren’t feeding your customers that if the smell alone has nearly made us all sick! 🤢 I tried to call you twice to make you aware but no answer so felt I needed to write a review. Yuck!”

  “The team at the Windrush Pub helped us host a BBQ for 50 people. We wanted the event to feel relaxed and Mia was excellent at understanding what we wanted and making sure the night ran seamlessly. Communications were spot on leading up to the event, we really felt as though everything was under control and we just needed to turn up! The food was great - everyone had lots to eat and enjoyed the outside space. Any issues (such as guests arriving late, surprise dietary requirements etc.) were dealt with as if they were no trouble. I would highly recommend holding an event here, what ever the occasion.”

  “I've been to The Windrush many times and have always enjoyed it, but this is a specific shout-out to Mia after having hosted and catered for my Mum's wake. I really appreciate the effort, and we were able to celebrate Mum's life with our nearest and dearest. The food was lovely, and I felt like we were all well looked after. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Windrush as a venue for such occasions. Thank you <3”

  “Sadly this was a really disappointing experience. When we arrived we had to wait a short while for our table, which we didn’t mind. However, once seated we asked for a drinks menu and were told they don’t have one and were simply asked what we wanted to drink, which felt odd as we couldn’t see prices or options. We were told someone would come over to explain how the carvery works, but when a member of staff did come over we were simply told to go up to the counter. When we reached the carvery we were given the smallest sliver of meat imaginable (see photo). The food overall was very under-seasoned and bland, and there was a disappointing lack of vegetable variety. The Yorkshire puddings also appeared to be packet ones rather than homemade, which was surprising given the price. In the end we left around half of the meal. We were there for roughly 30 minutes before asking for the bill. When the bill arrived, a nearly £7 service charge had been added. While we were still looking at the bill, the staff member returned with the card reader and seemed irritated when we asked for a little more time. We disputed the service charge as we were a table of four and hadn’t really received much service beyond the carvery itself, which already felt overpriced for what was served. Overall, it was a very underwhelming experience, especially for a Mother’s Day meal.”

  “Our first time trying the Sunday Carvery and we already want to re-book! Very pleased after hearing mixed reviews. Staff were very accommodating and was a lovely chilled atmosphere. The food was delicious, meat was cooked perfectly and offered with all the trimmings, the veg and potatoes were piping hot which is fab for a carvery! Gravy spot on.. very happy customers - will be back for sure :) Thank you!”

  “We visited here on 1st January 2026 at lunchtime. We were a large friendly family group of 30. We were sat by windows which made it chilly. Other than us the pub was very quiet. The food I was served was delicious I had baked camembert and shared it with 3 friends it was so huge. I also had pie and mash. Which was tastefully garnished with crispy parsnip. Unfortunately 6 of our guests were asked to sit at another table 😕 This really destroyed the almostphere, this was very disappointing 😞 and could of been handled alot better. It could of been wonderful.”
