Windmill Pub, Kirkdale
Anyone noticed the 'For Sale' notice outside the Windmill pub? Hope it doesn't go the same way as the Woodman!

To be honest I wouldn't be sad to see it go. Over the past few months it has got worse and worse in there and chucking out time has got noisier and noisier. On Wednesday there was a massive fight outside - I saw one poor guy getting kicked in the head. The police came along and I hope they gave them a warning about the future conduct of their customers. This is not something you want on your doorstep!
There prices although cheaper than many pubs are more expensive than The Capitol and I suspect the esquite Bird in The Hand ( but I am not going in to check ).
They were trying to attract the meal trade and had a good chef and they were serving food on more and more occasions. The Sunday roast I had couple of weeks ago was really very good. Pity so few in there eating.
There beers were and hopefully still are in excellent condition. They deserve to succeed.

My feeling is that this is the second worst pub in Sydenham/Forest Hill (after the other Wetherspoons in FH). It is a badly lit, dirty and soul less huge space hoping to "pack them in" with cheap prices and mass produced rubbish food. It's this type of approach which has put proper pubs like the Woodman out of business. Let's hope the dump does get closed sooner rather than later
I have only been to The Windmill 4 or 5 times in the last few weeks and certainly not packing them in. The food was better than Wetherspoon and beer excellent.They know how to keep the real ale.
Woodman beer rubbish.
Problems in Winmill only since Woodman closed. Think some of the old Woodman regulars moving down there.
Fairlawn Resident I think your commenst are very unfair.

90% of the trouble is usually caused by the same group of people (mainly all ex Fox and Hound Drinkers) ............. most of them have not grown up yet, most of these people are in their 30's/40's/50's and yes a couple of them are in their 60's. They still think to have a great night it must involve a punch up.
Personally I would avoid the place on a Friday/Saturday/Sundat as there are some well known bully boys there who have the backing of their mates if the going gets tough!
