Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Windmill (JD Wetherspoon)

It's a Wetherspoons... It's in an airport... You know what to expect... (However, to be fair, it easily the best place for a pint at Stansted Airport and there are usually a few beers of interest from the various handpumps on the bars counters on two levels - with guest ales such as Ghost Ship, Exmoor Gold (£5.15) and Titanic's Plum Porter in addition to the standard Greene King IPA, Doom Bar and Abbot). Other feature of modest interest: the mid section of a replica brick windmill tower oddly suspended above the ground-floor atrium seating area.

The Windmill is the Wetherspoons offering airside at Stansted. The long bar runs down the left-hand wall and open plan seating is found throughout. An open kitchen is located at the rear and steps to the right rear lead up to a second bar where there is a TV. Six Nations Flags were on display so I imagine the rugby was shown during the competition.
A premium and standard keg range is available, and I counted twelve hand pumps on the downstairs bar and five more upstairs. I opted for a Stella which was £5.05. The standard JDW food menu is available; the burgers start at £9.70.
I found the service to be very friendly, but none of the staff could explain how the centrepiece in the centre of the pub resembles a Windmill. Answers on a postcard please!
I rated this as the second-best airside drinking venue out of the five available.

A standard airport pub, Ten handpumps all featuring the usual standard beers as mentioned by quinno below, I didn't spot anything guest wise of any interest so went for a bottle of Brewdog Dead Pony Club. Always likely to be rammed due to the captive audience and serves it's purpose.
