The Windmill, Acton

The back bit used to be a dark, dingy sort of place with a lot of charm. Now it's bright and clean and more like McDonalds. They've put in a skylight which is fine but there's far too much light coming in to be able to see the TV screen. They need to put in some sort of shutter contraption so they can cover the skylight when there's a match on. I'd only go to see games in the evening now because of this. The staff, pretty Polish girls mainly, are incredibly efficient and friendly. The food is good value. The front bar is fairly small but quite good for watching footy as they can show different games at the same time on various screens.
