Hello
Welcome
We took over the wonderful Windmill pub on January 13th 2020 and immediately set about refreshing the pub whilst wholly intending to pick up the baton on The Windmill's award winning past with a top quality range of Cask Ales. Add Sunday Roasts, Gin Menus, Afternoon Tea and we welcome you to your pub!
About The Windmill
Since 1857
Award Winning Cask Ale
Great British Food
Like many Great British Pubs we have a proud and interesting history. First registered as an Ale House on Tuesday 1st September 1857 it was in fact reported, at that licence application, to have been an Ale-House for 11 years already.
In 1869 the pub was a part of a consortium selling Tea in response to Grocers selling beer and wine!

The Windmill features in an 1880 edition of the Kent & Sussex Courier when a P.C. Avery had to attend to some "quarrelsome" brothers going by the names of Richard and William Sutton.
A shed once housed a skittle alley until WW1 when soldiers required the shed to shoe their mules.
In more recent times the pub has had some dramas as a Tied House with high rents, but thankfully proper publicans, Matthew and Emma (who are now at Nelson Arms Tonbridge), took the pub Freehold and made it Award Winning.
Today the pub is in the capable hands of North & South Leisure, a small family led business with a simple but noble mission, to give independent pubs the best chance possible with a refurbishment, Great Beer, Great Food and Great Service. Please come and make your own bit of History with us here at The Windmill, just maybe not in the way the brothers Sutton did!
Memories are made in the Great British Pub.

In the last 8 years The Windmill has won no fewer than 7 Awards for Beer Quality, Range and Service. We are a regular listing in the Great British Beer Guide and in January 2020 we fully refurbished the Cellar, serviced the main cooler and fitted brand new beer lines throughout to bring you your beer at the very best it can be.
WE GUARANTEE LOCAL
You can drink our very own Weald Copper Bitter, a collaboration between The Windmill and the brilliant Battle Brewery. Abbey Pale Ale will also feature regularly from Battle Brewery.
Larkins Beer is a firm favourite and will rightly hold a spot on the bar most of the time (disclaimer; we may need to change the barrel from time to time so if's it's not on that is the reason!). Add to that Beers on rotation from Kent Brewery, Northdown, Pig & Porter, Tonbridge Brewery, Mad Cat, Goachers, Gun Brewery , Whitstable Brewery, Longman, Westerham.
So you really are Guaranteed Local Beer as fresh as the brewers themselves want them to be!
