The Windmill’s pies have been crowned ‘Best Pie in Britain’ three times and that really doesn’t surprise me.
Giles Coren took the words out of my pen by commenting that The Windmill is his “all time favourite pub – in the whole world”.
Whether you pop in for a sausage and mash (or pie), fish and chips (or pie) and if you can manage it, a homemade rhubarb crumble (or, you guessed it, apple pie), one thing you are guaranteed is honest food and jovial service in a haunt where one can imagine Edwardian gentlemen plotting an expedition to unknown lands, the table strewn with maps and notes, pinned by glasses of cognac and stained by the occasional streak of gravy from the preceding pie-fest.
I wasn’t ready to share The Windmill with the rest of the world, but it’s too good to keep a secret and, after all, it’s my job to elucidate these things to our readers.
But before you go gallivanting over there with your expedition maps and demanding the finest pies and ales available to humanity, please take heed; this will become your local pub, no matter where in the world you live.

food busyness location
I found this place on TripAdvisor before I left for London a few weeks ago, liked the reviews and what I saw on their web site, and made a reservation.
We were staying near the Tate, but I wanted something in this part of London for a Sunday lunch and then a walk afterwards which took us to Harrod's and a way to walk off the calories and see London on a busy, sunny day.
I had the Market fish pie: salmon, haddock, crayfish, cheddar mash, buttered seasonal greens and peas for 14.5£, and my other half had the daily special Venison Cottage Pie, also for 14.5£, which was either the Weekly or Sunday special pie!
I would prefer to try one more in the pot pie-type category with a crust next time, but I would definitely return here, but hungrier and ready for a few draughts, the next time I'm in London.
This is going to be on my short list and one that I will recommend to others visiting London!
