I recently celebrated my 40th birthday at Little Pickle at the Mill and it was absolutely perfect. Karen, Andrew, and the team were warm, relaxed, and made everything feel effortless.
The BBQ was delicious, with locally sourced beef, and I was able to bring my own prosecco with a small corkage fee—such a lovely touch.

A lovely relaxing place, you won't be...
