The Windmill, Cricklewood, NW2

I visited here on Sunday evening and have to say that it was one of the busier establishments in the area, but it was still lacking atmosphere as it has recently been refurbished to resemble a hotel bar. This is not surprising as the building is actually a hotel with rooms available from £45 a night. There is a real ale pump that was drawing Old Speckled Hen and a selection of standard and premium draught products are also available. I found the service to be polite and the Guinness was the best I had on a very disappointing crawl of Cricklewood. There is a happy hour(s) from 16:00 until 19:00 on Mondays to Fridays where the cocktails are two for one. Sky sports is shown and there is a plasma screen in the bar area as well as in the nice sized garden that has a shelter at the rear that is adorned with fairy lights. This is not the cheapest place in the area, but I found it to be one of the better ones even though I wouldn’t go out of my way to drink here again.

No, I'm not a member of staff, nor a friend of the owner,I'm only a regular customer who pays good money for great food & excellent beer - and why not - I'm really lucky to have such a great local pub practically on my doorstep.
