And the price is reasonable. However we found service is quite poor, we had to wait a substantial amount of time for the starters, and between courses. We were not offered a dessert menu and after asking for one no one came to take our order. Considering we were the only table in the restraunt and three staff were waiting on it was a poor showing. In the whole not a bad place to eat but be prepared to wait!

Good quality food and an ever-changing range of well kept cask ales with local beers from George Wright and Southport Brewery appearing regularly. In addition there is a wide selection of lagers and an impressive wine list. (Champagne is also sold by the glass). This is a popular destination or pit-stop for walkers, cyclists and barge enthusiasts including ex-prime minister John Major whose photograph looks down on customers from the dining room wall. Staff are friendly and helpful but make sure you book in advance if you want to eat at the weekend. A seating terrace to the front is ideal to watch the world go by and a stone paved beer garden to the rear is ideal for warm evenings. In winter a log fire adds to the charm.Well worth a visit as is the village!

They also walked away randomly when we were asking questions about the menu. Don't know why they were so unfriendly, but there are better pubs in Parbold. The Wayfarer, for example, has lovely staff and the food is great. Shame about the Windmill, I was excited about trying it out for a long time.
