The Windmill Pub Dining — Restaurant in London

Really I shouldn't be giving it one star. We had our Grandad's wake in this pub yesterday 9th September 2021. We didn't get in there until 4pm. My grandad has lot's of grandkids and great grandkids so obviously they were all playing together and running around together in the garden. We we're told that they had to all sit down at a table...well when you have kid's as young as 2 you know well they won't sit down for long. Then we we're told the children had to be out by 6...which they didn't tell us when we booked for the wake. They allowed us until 7 but said all kid's under 16 had to be out. They went up to my nan anout 4 time's complaining about the children which she didn't need as she just got back from her husband's funeral. The children weren't running around inside we was all outside together with the children. They did us a hot buffet which was lovely and the kid's had boxes of chicken strips and chip's..but when an adult went to take a box for themselves they we're told that they weren't allowed it...just for kid's only. Seriously we paid for the food so it shouldn't matter who was eating it. They we're very rude and had no empathy or sympathy for anyone. Just moaned about the kid's...even at just gone 7 they we're standing there waiting for us to leave. Seriously why let a family hold a wake when all you wanna do is take their money and get them out. Absolutely...

Just popped in to see GAA game Kerry v Dublin. Got there half way through first half and went to main bar area and was " greeted" by lady directing us to side bar. Wanted to stay in main area but she said game was shown there. The main bar was definitely not full to capacity; far from it?

Went in there and was basically like creche with game on but people having Sunday lunch, sound down and no atmosphere ( which is what area designed for).

We decided to take our drinks next door and found table at the back. Good atmosphere and getting into game and same person came up and said rudely could we not lean back behind us? Was actually not leaning on it but thought maybe screen or something.

Carried on watching the game and 1 minute later came back and rolled up blind that was that covered dart board? Was sooo rude.

By this time people around us were looking at her and laughing and asking" what her problem was" We were all so confused it was funny but we did feel very uncomfortable. She definitely had a bee in her bonnet about something? Do not know if she a had problem with us moving from other bar or what?

Most certainly will NEVER go there again!

If you do happen to go there beware of where...

I went here to meet a friend who was sitting with a group of colleagues. There was a bit of an issue with the table being uneven so there was obviously an issue with it. Later in the evening I put my drink onto the table and the whole thing gave way. The woman who must run the pub was extremely rude saying we broke the table. We were doing nothing to break the table and as it was a large wooden table it would have taken some power to split the leg. The woman wouldn't accept it, would not replace our drinks and when I tried to explain the table was previously broken she said she was going to call the police?! Absolutely atrocious experience.

In response to the owners response below - Your responses are lies. I wasn't drunk and I wasn't rude. I was merely trying to explain the table was obviously previously broken. I'm glad you have CCTV to show you this. I am amazed the response is still that we broke the table. How exactly did we break it when we were just sitting next to it? Also I do not work in a school but do wish I did as would be interested to know how you would take it up with them when your staff were completely...
