The Windmill Brighton — Restaurant in Great Britain

While they might still bill themselves as a backstreet pub, the current team are putting The windmill on the map and making sure Brightonians take a very necessary diversion here.

Their current popularity can be somewhat connected to the very hyped kitchen run by Albertas Food. The cuisine is billed as ‘Hot Sandos’ and combines Japanese and Italian-American cuisine in the format of sub rolls filled with a tempting combination of fillings.

It was really great to see a row of craft taps on the back wall as well as the typical mainstream options. A really enthusiastic and chatty barman did a great job at drawing my attention to the taps. The Windmill Brighton serve a really good and reasonably priced Negroni and also Margaritas on tap.

From the social media posts music is a big part of the pub's character, and they are the only place I know who book live Daytime DJs to entertain on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

We arrives Sunday , my birthday after doing an escape hunt over the Road , we had geen told that with the escape hunt ticket if you went to this public house you got a free drink per couple , And they did food . Great this was a great bonus. After we finished our escape game we went in to the pub as suggested , asked about thevoffer , they cleaned a table we sat , asked if they had food , they said they had finished serving 6pm . So we said about the free drinks , the young lady tried to be of help saying oh I will check on this , she then returned saying that this was specific drinks and told us which . So we chose from this list , the manager came and put the charge through . We went to pay and it was full price , we explained . He then said oh no its only 20% off today !!!! .

Obviously we just left .

No idea what is going on there but will...

The pub itself is lovely and the staff very attentive, however the food, although passable, does not quite match the menu description.

The baked Camembert with garlic and rosemary was dull. It was just a baked round of cheese with a couple of cloves of fried garlic and some burnt rosemary thrown on top. Even at home you slot the garlic and rosemary into the cheese and top with a little white wine as it bakes. Dull, dull, dull.

The Salmon pasta was lovely, no complaints whatsoever. It was very tasty with lots of salmon.

The biggest issue was the Korean burger with Asian slaw. Whilst the chicken was nicely cooked and coated in panko breadcrumbs, I couldn’t see in any way what made in Korean. The teaspoon of “Asian slaw” I had in the burger certainly didn’t and the burger sauce was also in no way Asian.

A nice pub but the food...
