About The Windmill

The Windmill Hotel opened in 1794, before George III had fallen to his madness and when a Horatio Nelson was working his way through the ranks of the Royal Navy, on his way to seriously annoying the French at the battles of the Nile and Trafalgar.

The pub’s construction was timed to take advantage of the opening of the early sections of the Leeds to Liverpool canal, as well as to service thirsty farmers depositing their grain at the neighbouring windmill.

Villagers seeking the conviviality of great ale, superb food, flowing conversation and a roaring fire made up the numbers and not a lot has changed since.

The Windmill team have stuck to the principles of a great English country pub.
