Mill Race Restaurant — Restaurant in Northern Ireland

I was part of a group which ate at the Winter Mill restaurant in January 2024, and sadly none of us will be looking to repeat the experience. The soup starter was indifferent, but problems really began with the main courses, which in my case consisted of what was quite-obviously the starter version of the dish I’d ordered.

Our waitress saw nothing wrong with the very-small portion offered, but was eventually prevailed upon to return with the full-size version of the dish. This was thankfully a bit warmer than the original offering, although the “grilled halloumi” centrepiece was actually deep-fried.

We should have probably cut our losses at this point, but instead requested the dessert menu, which was duly presented after an interval of about fifteen minutes. Several of us ordered the sticky toffee pudding, which was tepid and stale to the extent that most of us abandoned our attempts to eat. Our waitress, once again, saw no reason to remark on dishes being returned three-quarters uneaten.

I had a truly wonderful experience at Mill Race Restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was beautifully prepared, and every detail made the evening feel special. What really stood out, though, was the outstanding service.

Elle, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She was attentive, professional, and welcoming from start to finish. Her genuine care for guests shines through, and it really elevated the whole dining experience.

Mill Race is lucky to have Elle leading the team — she made our visit memorable, and I will definitely be returning soon....

Had an amazing festive dinner , everything...
