Initially I was planning to give this place 4 stars as it is not the kind of entertainment that I enjoy tremendously; however, if I consider what others may like who search for windmill soho nightclub, I decide to give it 5 stars. The performers were clearly very talented. The performances were excellent and entertaining. I was impressed especially by the hoop and pole performers. Food was fairly good. And the service was efficiently and friendly. If you’re living in London and like burlesque, I would give this experience a go!
HONEST REVIEW - SPENT £340 FOR TWO! - ARRIVAL- Upon arrival was greeted by nonchalant security as well as non-bothered/non-attentive hostess who couldn’t even smile and greet us when we arrived. She was busy sorting something out on a WhatsApp group chat - Usually, I don’t care but considering that this is supposed to be an immersive show dinner experience I’d expect the first “impression” to be on job. [1/5] - SEATS - We booked the platinum seats and were seated right next to the stage which was great. Would recommend getting these. The chairs were uncomfortable but I guess it’s because they need light chairs because the restaurant transforms into a nightclub on the weekend. For the price I’d expect better quality. - SHOWS - The artists were really great but in my opinion too little shows within the time frame. INCA similar restaurant concept in Soho have a show every 15 minutes and they are longer than the ones at The Windmill and a bit more engaging. - SERVICE - The service was friendly BUT we were rushed from one dish to another. A second bottle of Sparkling water was added to our table and bill which we didn’t ask for. I’d like to be in charge of what I want to order - not the other way around. Bill was dashed onto our table without asking and in general everything seemed rushed. - FOOD - Mediocre food, it was okay but not amazing for this price point. Also way too dark in there, people were using torches to eat. - VALUE FOR MONEY- They add a charge for the Show of £20 as well as 15% service charge. I was a bit surprised as it wasn’t really stated anywhere clearly on the website?! I doubt that I’ll go again - it was nice to experience something “different” but all in one wasn’t worth the money. Thanks!
We booked 3-course dinner and early show on Friday night for just £29 per person. We really enjoyed the show, and the host was quite engaging. The food was okay considering the price.
We came to London from Germany for one evening to see the revue at the Windmill Soho, especially to see Clea de Velours. We chose the late show and bought the tickets online in advance. When we were in London that day, we checked where the windmill is and took photos in front of it. There was no information anywhere on the outside of the store. A lady was just setting up the entrance. She didn't tell us that times have changed. We went to the hotel and changed. Then we're off to the windmill. On site we found out that instead of two performances there was only one performance that evening and instead of 9:30 p.m. it started at 8 p.m. I've never experienced that in my life, that a show starts before it says on the ticket. I also follow the Windmill Soho on Instagram. There was also no story about the time changes. I received the tickets by email and a request for a rating. However, it was not possible to send an email about the time change. On site it was said that the guests were informed by SMS. Due to the different country code, we did not receive any SMS. There wasn't even an apology. Just saying that it shouldn't have happened. There wasn't even an invitation for a free drink or an offer to come back another evening. We missed half of the revue. Came all the way from Germany for this. The disappointment was great and the evening was ruined for us. I just think it's a shame that the guests are treated like this. We saw 2 of the four show blocks. There were 3 short acts in a row and then a long break in between. I hope that this review will help to make such short-term changes more public.
I had a 3 course dinner here and a show.. I absolutely loved the show.. my face in d video proofs it, the only downer was we were not allowed to record any of the shows so now it’s a memory stuck in my brain that I have to explain to friends by word of mouth but can’t show, i must however commend that even though it was an evening show and I was alone, I felt really safe and taken care of. I was harassed by a man and his friends at the restaurant and the manager or so noticed and after warning him off and he didn’t listen, they were kicked out. As a black girl having someone actually protect u.. I was supper impressed and would recommend visiting here any day to anyone
My friends and I visited for a Saturday night performance on the platinum menu. We had an amazing time. The service cannot be faulted, the staff were so attentive and every member of staff we came into contact with was professional and welcoming. The food was very enjoyable too and filling. The performances were outstanding from a singer performing upside down, fire shows and acrobatics. The venue was unique and intimate. We will be back as it was great value for money
OK I will try to give The Windmill a fair review ... there were some positives ... but sadly overall it was a very poor experience. I had made a booking for a platinum dining experience reservation and the table was in a prime spot but we'll come back to that later. No queuing at all as we had made a reservation ... we were shown to the bar as the table wasn't ready no problem and we order a couple of very nice cocktails ... expensive yes ... but I wouldn't expect anything else all I'd say is be prepared After about 20 mins we were shown to our table and it was just down from the stage so we though we were in for a brilliant show. Now to the show ... well 5 mins of acts or so with a 15 mins break in between each act is what you'll get ... do not expect 'The Windmill' to compare with some other venues in London offering similar theatrical dining. The apéritifs came and were stunning ... top notch cuisine ... The starters came quickly and were equally stunning ... very nice. The same cannot be said for the main course ... we waited and waited and watched people who has sat down after us get the main course. The show continued and our table was asked to be moved backwards due to one very talented act performing on the main floor of the theatre ... no problem despite not yet having our main course. I was also told I would have to stand for this section of the show which seemed very strange The host, who can only be described a foul mouthed drag queen who's every other word was 'mother-f.....' assisted with 'moving' the table then knocked over my wife's full glass of wine. Whilst appearing to be slightly apologetic nothing else was done by either the staff or management. My wife then had to sit in a wine soaked skirt for the rest of the evening and also has a dry cleaning bill for her new corset bought for the occasion. There was no offer to replace the glass of wine and no offer of assistance. Eventually the main course of breaded chicken arrived however they had forgotten the side vegetable dish we had ordered. The breaded chicken was dry and overcooked and like others have said very sub standard and after reminding them of the broccoli side dish, that eventually arrived and somehow managed to be raw and burnt at the same time. The BANG London crew were in venue and it seemed that the host was only concerned about impressing them. All the table and bar staff were fantastic. We won't be returning and I couldn't possibly recommend going here ... save your money for somewhere that deserves it more. The Windmill is purely trading on it's history and name.
Extremely disappointed & mislead! After careful consideration we made a booking at Windmill for a hens do on a Saturday night. We chose to book at Windmill as we were told there was a cabaret show and reserved a table for £1000 originally quoted £1500. There was no mention of entry fees when we made the booking and at other clubs when you reserve a table you are not charged fees on top. The credit card charge was for almost £1,500 due to entry fees which the club did not disclose at the time and there was NO show. They also limited the minimum spend to be only bottle service, where the cheapest item on the menu was £500 the bottle of gin was embarrassingly overpriced. Would never return and wouldn’t recommend!
We had a lovely time at the windmill. Whilst the drinks are pricey, the food was good - we especially enjoyed the steak. The show was good, it was interactive. We had a good time. Thank you
This place is a scam - avoid at all costs! We booked a table here for my friends Hens party, were told that there would be cabaret shows and agreed that it would be a £1,000 minimum spend to reserve the table for our group. After arriving and being told we had to do bottle service or leave the cheapest was £500 for a bottle of Tanqueray that costs £30 at a shop, we then found out afterwards they had also charged an additional £400 for entry fees to our credit card, which we were not previously advised of. To make matters worse, they didn't even have cabaret shows on this evening, despite what they had previously told us. When we queried this, multiple people in our group were told by staff that the shows would be starting soon, obviously an absolute lie as there was only a DJ playing all night. Rude staff, who obviously have no issue with taking your money on false pretences, and are now ignoring all calls / emails regarding these charges. Not surprising to read that one of the co-proprietors was convicted of a criminal offence in 2023 and has been jailed…
