Windmill Inn

The Windmill Inn is a relaxed pub restaurant on Blossom Street, a short walk from the River Ouse in York. It suits a range of occasions, from a casual drink and informal meal to an evening built around live sport or one of the pub’s regular events. The atmosphere is sociable and community-minded, with live music nights, quiz nights and a pool table adding reasons to stay beyond the meal.

The food focuses on familiar pub classics alongside smaller plates designed for sharing. A Sunday roast is also part of the offering, giving the menu a traditional option for a longer weekend meal. The drinks selection includes beers and spirits, with the pub format making it suitable for everything from a quick pint to a catch-up over food.

Sport is a major part of the Windmill Inn’s character. Sky Sports and TNT Sports are shown on screens, covering football, rugby, F1, darts and other televised fixtures. Advance table bookings are available for sporting occasions, while the events programme provides further options for an evening out.

Outside, the beer garden offers an alternative place to sit when the weather allows. The pub is dog-friendly and family-friendly, making it suitable for mixed groups as well as smaller gatherings. Disabled facilities, free Wi-Fi and a cashless setup are available, and the venue can also accommodate functions and coaches.

The Windmill Inn works best for diners seeking straightforward pub food, groups meeting for drinks, families looking for an informal meal and sports followers wanting a social place to watch a fixture. With food service running alongside a full pub day, it can work for lunch, dinner or an evening that combines food, drinks and entertainment.
