The Old Windmill

Chelmsford

Welcome

The Old Windmill has been serving food and ale to locals since at least 1799, we came across it in 2011 and right from the off we fell in love with the character and feel of the pub, and have taken great pains to preserve and enhance the atmosphere of the Windmill.

Wood fires, flagstone floors and oak beams abound, the Old Windmill is a classic English country pub to its roots, with the bar at the heart of the building. Although it's not for us to say, we think our pub is an absolute gem.

We look forward to welcoming you,
Nick and the Old Windmill team.
