    As always was amazing food and great service, bar is always full so it's a bit of a wait there, but overall great experience.

    It's a great place on the edge of Cambridge, great for watching Sports.. the vibe is there on good days and the security is top too. Just another good spot for hanging out with friends and chilling, rarely gets super full

    Won't be back. Ordered Sunday lunch. It was absolutely nothing like what they advertised. On my plate along with other items not advertised were a beef stew and cold beetroot salad. I messaged the establishment on FB to let them know and no response.

    Wow! Such an upper-class, classy place in an unexpected area. Service was quick; food (particularly the gravy) was delicious and reasonably priced. Steak was slightly under done but great.

  • 3/5 Johan van der W. 4 years ago on Google
    Great service and food was quick. My steak was a bit tough and the chips not fully fried. Overall a nice experience although I thought the steak was a bit over priced, but the liquor prices made up for it. Worth a visit.

👍👍 Great tasting burgers. Fast very fast service. Would have loved a basket on the vehicle window instead of a box but that's just me. They say you haven't experienced East London if you haven't tried a Windmill Burger and chips and now I now why. Will be back! Awesome experience

👍👍 Great burgers at reasonable price. Service a bit slow as all waiters are either talking with each other at the entrance or playing on their cellphones. Nice view from the deck.
