The Mill Restaurant — Restaurant in Great Britain

Says it’s a family friendly restaurant, what a load of tosh. We visited 3 days in a row, 6 adults with 5 children (spending a whack of money each time!). First visit the place was completely empty, and the ‘landlord’ asked with a toss of his head whether we had thought to book a table, despite it being empty. Well no, we thought you’d be glad of the custom in an empty pub? I think we’d inconvenienced him as he had to push two tables together. On the third visit, I called ahead to book a table (just in case they had a sudden influx of customers!) to find, surprise surprise, we were the only customers for the restaurant again. The waitress who served us was lovely, very friendly and accommodating. AFTER we paid the bill they sent a very unfriendly member of staff upstairs who asked us to keep the noise down. There were 3 men downstairs in the pub. We weren’t aware of being overly noisy, just an average family. Interesting they got their money before they said anything. Definitely not family friendly. We have been several times before, but won’t be back. The food was average (but handy for us as so local!), and the customer...

We stayed on the campsite next door, lovely place. On the Saturday lunchtime we went to the Mill for a drink and to book a table for the evening. As it was my wife's birthday, I asked the landlord if he could rustle something up for her, like a cake or such like. He said he was flat out and at such short notice he didn't think so. So, we went for our evening meal and it was absolutely amazing. Great quality and far too much for even me to eat!! After our meal, the landlord and his wife came up the stairs with a beautiful chocolate cake singing happy birthday. What a surprise, the cake was fantastic with candles and everything. We were completely blown away that he'd gone to all that trouble just for a cake that he made that very afternoon. I didn't get their names but I just want to thank the husband and wife team at The Mill Pub for making my wife's birthday meal extra special. Thanks guys, we'll be back sometime soon. Anybody wanting to go to The Mill Pub, don't think about it, DO IT, the food and staff are incredible....

Hmm....where do I start. The camping/caravan site is immaculate. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The Mill on the other hand does not meet the same expectations. Food is adequate. The pizza oven used to produce amazing pizzas...I have photos from a year ago. Now...thin, sparsely covered pizzas cooked indoors for the same price..underwhelming is an understatement. It's very quiet...maybe they know something we don't... there is a back door that gives you very quick convenient access to the toilets...but unless it's worth their while they keep it closed forcing everyone to walk all the way around the pub, then up the stairs..passed everyone 'enjoying' their food, to use the single gents and ladies toilet... This place could be amazing..the food is decent, it really is..but there is a palpable lack of attention to detail and a lack of appreciation thar this pubs captive audience literally lives...
