New look for Windmill

The Windmill Inn, Ormskirk, has been given a modern makeover by a group of four friends. The two married couples took over the pub on Wigan Road after the last manager was ill.

“We had always drunk in the pub ourselves and the handover went through a couple of weeks ago,” Alun Comer said. He owns the pub with wife Carolyn and their friends Diane and Anthony Seddon.

“It looks very different from how it did. It is brighter and cleaner with traditional good food and we hope to start serving real ale. We are working on renovating the beer garden as well.”

The pub, now known as The Mill, holds its official opening this weekend, with a comedy night on Friday and live music on Saturday, both with a hot and cold Chinese buffet available. They are trying to get away from the Mill’s Old Man image.
