The Windmill

Small pub on the edge of the City .The food is really good,served in generous portions by friendly and welcoming staff.The menu veers towards Italian,and there is a good choice of wines and beers.We had the specials of the day-spaghetti with fresh tomatoes,chili,basil etc served in a huge platter,and some really innovative sandwiches.How does a sandwich of parma ham,mozzarella,mushroom omelette,all on a large slice of mustard crusty bread with large italian fries all for £7 sound?This is all one sandwich by the way .And the portion was huge.

Go try it,you won't be disappointed .

Bijou even by the standards of Shoreditch’s tiny boozers, The Windmill is a newcomer with a slight Italian twist. There’s just one, compact room, deftly smartened up with some splashes of strong colour & furniture that’s classier than the usual gastropub junkshop finds. The menu changes monthly, with sandwiches on rustico or focaccia bread & more substantial mains including polpo alla Sarda – octopus with potatoes, tomatoes & onion salad – or penne alla amatriciana. It’s all pretty simple & affordable, there’s a short list of cocktail standards & the Italian-dominated wine list has plenty of sub-£20 choice, though the selection by the glass is rather limited. Beers on tap include Cruzcampo & Paulaner.
