The Windmill in Dacorum

Update April 2022 :The pub is basically back to normal as a proper pub, with no social distancing restrictions etc. Food is no longer served in the evenings, just lunchtime. The pub cat Windy has sadly since died. Currently, I am trying to persuade Landlord Dave to stock some decent low alcohol bottled bitters e.g. Old Specked Hen 0.5%, which knocks spots off the Heineken lager versions. Last orders are now more strictly enforced at 11.30pm most days.Original review during lockdown :I only came by to photograph the post box for Google Maps and found the pub outside all stripped back to the bare cement colour, so an opertunity for a new suite of pub outside photos for Maps. A new fenced-in outside tables layout has appeared to encourage social distancing during the post COVID-19 virus lockdown, ready for the predicted 4th July 2020 reopening. The outside smokers area with heater and awning is being moved from front roadside to the rear.The landlord Dave said the internal woodwork was in the process of being rubbed down, but I wasn't going in there during lockdown, so we will have to wait with curiosity on the pub's final new look.Please LIKE with a 👍 if you have found this review helpful thank you

Quiet, quaint old style pub. Barmaid was lively and friendly, service good and quick and enjoyed nice home cooked lunch. Great little pub!

Lovely little country pub with a nice and relaxed atmosphere and garden out back. Reasonable drinks prices, parking is no problem as plenty of country roads/car parks to park.Dave the owner is a really nice gentlemenPerfect place for a nice relaxing drink and or meal

The food and service was terrible. We waited 45 minutes for our food which was a selection of deep fried rubbish. Everything looked the same colour. I ordered a burger and chips. I got a burger that was tiny and tasteless in a bun that double as big. The bun was as terrible as everything else and there was nothing else in the burger. Completely dry. I don’t see how anyone would ever go back. The whole place seemed tired and run down.

Very good as usual. Friendly landlord and staff, good drinks and food. A repeat visit any time. It should also be noted that this establishment is renowned for events for charity.

Love this pub service A1. Food delicious atmosphere fantastic xxxx

The picture does not look up to date?.Nice place,needs updating. Meals are good,Sunday lunch.Staff seem a bit all over the place, when I have been there on a Sunday.Could be more efficient.

A beautiful traditional country pub.Old charm and hospitality.Not rushed.. Layed back and very civil..Lovely landlord who is old school and very kind and welcoming..

The staff was friendly but, once seated in the back room we turned on the TV And the ONLY channel available was the one in the picture.The chips we ordered were dreadful and don’t bother to order a pot of tea, it will arrive in a small camping metal pot quite disgusting.Obviously, never again.

Great food. Excellent value. Very authentic village pub.
