The Windmill Tavern is a traditional independent pub on Shrubbery Road in the Windmill Hill area of Gravesend, about ten minutes' walk from the railway station, occupying an early-18th-century building reportedly converted from a former farmhouse to a tavern around 1780. It serves real ale, bar snacks and home-cooked food including a popular Sunday roast, and offers a large garden adjoining a park with a bowling green and tennis courts, plus a cosy interior with a log fire, darts, TV and live music.
Facilities include outside seating, a covered smoking area and function hire, and it is family-friendly. On Tripadvisor it holds roughly 4.2 out of 5 from around 90 reviews, with customers regularly praising the Sunday roast, friendly staff and garden, though some more recent reviews note service inconsistency and lapses in garden upkeep.
