What Our Diners Think

“I had a lovely and wonderful time”

The food in the restaurant was excellent and first class and full marks and credit must be given to the chef and all the kitchen staff. Also all the staff who served the meals at the tables were very efficient, kind and helpful.
A letter received by from a Guest.

We would like to thank you and all the staff for a lovely meal and evening, it is always most welcoming at the Mill, and the service makes you feel very special.
Irene, A thank you card

” impressed with the whole dinning experience”

…we have eaten in some of the best restaurants in the world and we were both  impressed with the whole dinning experience- all the staff were knowledgeable, friendly and attentive – the decor was relaxed on a venetian theme and it was well lit – the seating was comfortable and table placings were well above what we expected for the price – the menu is not extensive but large enough to make a selection enjoyable – we ate from the vegetarian set dinner menu as well as the standard dinner menu and the overall quality of food was again a very pleasant surprise – well presented delicious fresh soup and a goats cheese tartlet starters were followed by stuffed peppers with couscous and perfectly cooked lamb chump both dishes served with suitably intense sauces and a lightly cooked but flavoursome selection of vegetables . Dessert was elegantly served being a light but well flavoured lemon sponge and a poached pear. There is an extensive and reasonable priced wine list which conveniently included some 50 cl bottles…. an extract from a tripadvisor review
