The Mill was born in September 2013 around the idea that food should be simple, fresh and local.

Following a devastating fire, The Mill has been lovingly restored to reflect the charm of our local community. Over the past decade, we have sought to create a social hub for locals and a welcoming home from home for visitors.

Our menus are expertly crafted but refreshingly unfussy. Our dedicated team always on hand but never intrusive. We strictly use Fairtrade tea and coffee and ensure that our menus embrace the freshest produce from local suppliers.

Whether it is to enjoy a light snack, a special lunch or to simply spend a lazy afternoon with friends and a cuppa – our friendly staff will ensure you are well looked after.

    The Mill was faultless as usual. Opentable was a disaster. I gave my guest details to Openable. She clicked on the message they sent and she got bombarded with messages. On the day OpenTable set my phone to "do not disturb" without my permission (presumably this is hidden in the small print somewhere). It meant that I my guest could not phone me when she got lost. It got worse. A business contact from 400 miles away got her phoned phone blocked by Openable. THEY ARE NOT WORTH ALL THE TROUBLE THEY CAUSED!

    I met a friend for lunch and we both had the goats cheese salad which was excellent! The service was superb and we did not feel rushed at all. We will definitely be back! Thank you.

    Arrived on time, but only two of us, third person couldn’t make it, table was reserved so we sat down, despite telling the person we first spoke to there was only two of us, we sat for a short while and warmed the chairs, then someone came and asked us if we mined but could he split the tables so we were moved, money is more a consideration here than customers, we ordered and our meal of macaroni was delivered very quickly as was the side order of chips! The food was hot and the chips were delicious, as we were eating and chatting a waiter came to our table and almost rushed us to finish, which I did even though I was still eating, we were asked if we wanted coffee, we said no and then we both felt very uncomfortable, it was like you’ve eaten now leave, we want your table, not good customer experience, although the food was good unfortunately we won’t be back due to being rushed at our meal and table and the way we were treated, sorry 😢

    It was amazing! Lovely place. The service was a tad on the slow side, when you're dining with a toddler isn't great. However the food was very nice cooked and presented well, I had a steak ciabatta and the only thing is it came medium rare where I would of asked for ot well done but was still really good

    The Mill is the ideal place to visit on a chilly winter afternoon…. the cosy wood burner, original beams and stone walls of the granary give the restaurant a welcoming ambience. The staff were attentive and delightful and the food from the small, but nicely varied menu delicious. We will definitely return soon!

    Great food as always, only issue was being greeted with “we’ll need the table back in an hour, as we are busy”. Hardly my fault the place has been overbooked and it did make for a rushed lunch. Shame.
