Had a lovely lunchtime meal here for my mums birthday, they even left a birthday card on the table which was a nice touch! Their 2 course bottomless prosecco lunch was great, kept topping up our glasses throughout the meal. Enjoyed the battered fish and chips for main course, lovely piece of fresh fish, only wish they'd put a few more chips on the plate. They had a fabulous choice of deserts, wanted all of them, the vanilla and raspberry cheesecake with clotted cream ice cream was delicious! All the food was presented well and you could tell the chef had great attention to detail. The renovation from the flour mill into a restaurant has been done very well, keeping original features such as wheels that have been highlighted nicely. Wasn't much of an atmosphere for lunchtime, I imagine it's better for dinner. The toilets need a mention, the female had birds singing while using it, with faux foliage on the ceiling and bird wallpaper, quirky environment! And apparently the male was a bond theme with the soundtrack playing while you're in there. Another nice touch was when the bill came in a small envelope with the words 'The Damage' written on it, which gave us a giggle at the end!

Couple weeks ago me and my fiancé popped to Old Mill Restaurant totally unexpectedly and what a nice place we found! The service was just spot on, the nice gentleman that welcomed us was really attentive and we can't fault him at all, sane with ladies that worked there at the same time but he was really great. Haven't been served so well in so long! The food was delicious (we both went for different variations of ciabatta, I have loved every bite of my falafel and sweet potato one!), we didn't have to wait long between meals either and there was no disappointment at all. We loved it there and we will be back soon! Oh did I mentioned the dessert? Anyone have to go for dessert especially lemon marangue tart/pie...🤤

Had a ‘significant’ birthday celebration here, could not fault the service from the initial greeting to a fantastic meal. Gluten free options available and all eight diners enjoyed their meal. The young server was polite and attentive without being intrusive. We were warmly greeted with a complimentary glass for birthday lady, whole dining experience was exceptional.

We had our Family Christmas Lunch here on 11th December 2022. It was a truly fantastic afternoon. The food, ambiance and Chris and his staff were excellent, thank you very much, we will be back very soon!

Some of the nicest food I've had. Went mid afternoon for Sunday lunch, the Pork Belly and accompaniments were cooked to perfection, couldn't fault it.

The Venu is lovely to and warm and obviously very authentic especially being an Old Mill dating back 100,s of years. Tastefully modernised with a old feel. Very warm welcome from staff and made to feel at home. We had a great time and the staff were attentive,kind and happy to indulge our quirky party. The Evening menu was lovely but surprising not vast in its starters or mains choices, however that should not always be the case.....more is not a plumb line to make a judgement on the food,menu etc. The starters were well presented and we all had something different. Which served our tastes buds..the mushroom stuffed with goats cheese was very tasty but was only just warm to eat ...and the mushroom was not huge compared to the £8.95 ......the mains was a selection of different cuts of pork served with a selection of vegetables and a roasted fondant potatoe....(see foto) What I do need to say is the Pork selection was tender,well cooked and tasty and I could have done with two portions. (That isn't to say the portions were meager) they were just right but I could have easily ate 2 as it was so good....🤪 However the one upright half of a carrot and 2 baby broccoli stems and a half of a potatoe less than the size of my credit card that wasn't roasted was very disappointing. I knew the restaurant had a great reputation and the fine diner comes with cost and limited portions but I had to chuckle inside at the seasonal vegetables served with such succulent meats. I would definitely come again but the straw that broke the camel's back with a restaurant with such a great menu pleasant and helpful staff....and great food apart from my own personal observations was you had to pay for parking for the privilege of eating there. The prices you have to pay I do not feel (even if they incorporated parking into the cost of good,service etc) warranty the patron to pay to park the car and eat....just imagine if they did that at the Golden Arches!!!!🤣

Had a amazing meal here. Service was relaxed, but at the same time totally on point! Nice to get real customer service. However it was the food that makes this place stand out. Well presented and very tasty. We will be going back very soon. If you are visiting for the first time, car parking is free but you do need to give your number plate when you enter. Don’t spend the time buying a ticket via the app!

Excellent food and prepared very efficiently for us! Great portion sizes, and pretty good price for what you get. Most of us had the Sunday mixed meat roast which I can definitely recommend!

Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Food is fabulous (and large!), staff and so nice without being overbearing and well priced. If nothing else, go for the decor in the toilets!

We were treated to an excellent meal at The Old Mill Botley, the food was amazing, service was very good. As it was our wedding anniversary we received 2 glasses of fizz and even an anniversary card from the restaurant team (which we accidentally left behind) that was a very nice touch.
