The Shepherds pie was amazing, very rich with lamb meat and truly fulfilling, accompanied with an exquisite beer
This place is a pie place. I'd leave it at that, but I've got to write at least 1400 words for Zomato to let me publish so...read on.
They have a pie club which I'm sadly not part of, but they change their pie menu often and it's always got a couple of revisited classics and more creative pies. The servings are generous but, this being central London, expect to pay about 14 pounds.
The pub itself is cozy and nice and it's got a cute small terrace which is fantastic and sunny in summer. Grab a jug of Pimm's and enjoy with friends.
I don't think I've really walked through Mayfair before. So many times I've been close along Regent or Oxford Streets, but that corner I've always associated with the last blue tile for $400 on the Monopoly board. Not to mention afterwards I wandered down Saville Row knowing I can't afford anything there.
Best pie in town! Loved the chicken,bacon and leek...puff pastry is nice and fragrant,really rich filling. The atmosphere is super English,wide selection of beer,service is great. A meal for two is £35.00.
Great Pies. I had a chance to go eat here for dinner in April! This food was all really good and the service was fantastic. I had the Steak & Mushroom Pie, with Peas and Home Made Chips. I would recommend this place to anyone, but make sure you make a reservation since the "Pie Room" is small and might be hard to get in.

It's national pie week as I write, so it seems I went here a week earlier than I should have, as we went here for their famed pies last Tuesday. My friend had been with workmates and had loved it, taking all her visitors there since. Soon, it was my turn.
We were there for one thing only - the pies. We'd made a reservation as the Pie Room is only small and gets full quickly. Once there, deciding which of the pies to choose was tricky but we soon narrowed it down by excluding those with a potato topping (fish and cottage pie) and then choosing to go for a proper crust, not filo (goodbye butternut squash and halloumi pie).
I had the chicken and leek, my friend had the steak and ale, although we sort of shared. With it we ordered some mashed potato and some beans. As well as sharing a bottle of wine of course. Th e pies were really good - there's a reason they've made it onto everyone's 'where to eat pies' list this week.
Lovely upmarket pub, customer service was excellent, very accomodating to our early reservation arrival. I ordered fish pie and it was delicious, good size portions. The group I dined with all had different flavoured pies, everyone said their pie was the best!!
A nice place to just chill for a bit. They have a few different NA Beers which is nice. The pizza and chips were fantastic. Great place for a bite to eat if you are staying at one of the surrounding hotels which don’t have many options.
2nd time to come to the Windmill and the service is amazing. The atmosphere is fantastic and is your typical English pub. Each time I come to London, I always end up coming here for their delicious pie. I highly, recommend their Steak and Kidney Pie. This time the pie was a bit overcooked and it wasn't melting in my mouth like last time but the food tasted amazing regardless.
Fair warning to first-timers coming here. If you plan to eat here, make a reservation otherwise good luck getting a table. This pub is smack in the middle of Mayfair, it does get busy. So busy people are pouring out onto the street and drinking on the side and across the road. (This tells you how busy and how popular this pub is)
We visit the 'Windmill' every time we're in the city and love the authentic English restaurant with traditional cosy decor and - if I can judge as a German - the best pie and mash in London.
But also the burger and the sheppards pie tasted absolutely delicious.
The ambience is great and the service was very friendly! Even though the waiter was from Italy and the communication (Italians and Germans with appropriate language skills meeting in London) wasn't that easy, we made the best of it and laughed a lot.
I will surely recommend and visit my absolute favourite spot for a tasty pub lunch again!
Our server Marwow (sp?) was wonderful, the staff is friendly and welcoming. Delicious food! We had fish and chips and also the seafood potted pie. Delicious - enjoyed Hells and Guinness beer . So delighted we visited
One of the best restaurants for authentic English food. Perhaps the best Shepherd's Pie that you can find in UK. The food, service and ambience was great. Friendly and warm staff. Loved each of the dishes we ordered. Enjoyed their Ale. Will surely recommend.
Highly recommend The Windmill!! Excellent place with great people! Jas waited on us and was incredibly kind and professional!! He patiently explained some of the menu options; we had the fish & chips and steak & mushroom pie. Thanks for London hospitality!!
A very lively British pub in the heart of Mayfair that specialises in Pies! I had the fish and chips which was a huge portion, fish is coated in a light crispy batter but I found it a bit oily. Super enjoyed the mashed peas and the thick cut fries was yummy. The burger and shepherds pie was also very delicious. However the soup, was too thick and hard to swallow, could not finish.
Overall a decent place to hang out and chug down some pints! Fast, friendly and efficient service!

Visited here last year for a wedding, the groom an Englishman recommended we visit place “ for its excellent English menu, great beer selection & wonderful staff. He wasn’t wrong. So this year we’ve come back to visit it again & we are not disappointed. It’s still fantastic!
Hands down the best pie & mash in London. FACT! I visit every time I’m in the city, it’s my absolute fave spot for a tasty pub lunch. Or a Sunday roast if that’s your thing. I can also vouch for those! Great beer selection too and a traditional cosy decor. Hard to beat, a must try!
