Millworks

Great food. We enjoyed our meal before starting river punting even though we were on a tight schedule. Our waitress, Jem, was very helpful and guided us through the menu and proactively ensured that we had the food served on time so that we would not be late for the punting trip even when the restaurant was quite busy. Highly recommend this place.

4 Friendly service with nice grills. Tomahawk is beautiful, tender and flavorful, tasty without any sauces. Chips and onion rings are still soft. Crispy squid only have a few crispy spots, but there’s finally more squid than batter and it doesn’t seem oily, so pretty nice. Would prefer the mayo sauce to be on the side though— it’s quite overpowering. Homemade focaccia is more like normal white toast… and would definitely benefit from a toast to search warm and crispy before serving. Seasonal veggies look simple but is surprisingly seasoned with crispy mint. Quite oily though. — 3 Popped in for lunch with friend’s family. A new menu again, from Mediterranean to British this time. The steak mushroom ale pie is delicious. The filling is flavorful and the crust is crunchy and not too heavy. The whole sea bass is tender and fresh. The pork belly has crispy fatty parts and tender flavorful flesh. Fried chicken wings are also quite nice. The veggies, however, are mainly peas and beans… simply British. Food is still a little slow. -/- 2nd visit Crispy filo shell, warmly spiced chicken filling. The garlicky spicy hummus adds a kick, while the hoisin sauce gives a fun twist, reminding me of Peking duck wraps. The venison steak was cooked perfectly, beautiful and tender. Seasoning-wise, I am not a fan of peppercorn sauce/red wine gravy in general… the tastier, more flavorful chermoula only comes as a few drizzles on the cabbage. Hope the steak can actually get it too! The potato rosti is buttery and herby. So I stack them with the steak. The dessert display right at the entrance looks very attractive, to the extent of evil enticement ;) and I’ve been eyeing the ice creams since last summer. Guess I’ll get a scoop soon. Food came quite fast, but I waited for about an hour for my bill. Next time I’ll bring a reading lamp. My eyes hurt in the romantic flickering of candle flame. I left the restaurant literally minutes before it’s closure. (It’s also fun to eavesdrop scholars from my field of research, though I didn’t dare to turn around lest there are familiar faces.) — Ice cream update: Been thinking about these since last summer and finally give in. Nice selection of flavors from the local ice cream company. The espresso bean is less intense than what the name suggests— more like coffee toffee candy. Had a taste of the ginger root one out of curiosity. Very gingerly indeed. Will probably get this one next time :D — 1st visit Millworks punt was lovely, especially with those fried Halloumi sticks. The rocket leaves make me feel less guilty. The squash hummus is a little too salty and overpowering—more like a spiced dip than hummus or squash. My friend says the pulled pork was far too sweet… Maybe there’s too much ketchup.

Great little find by my boyfriend. We visited MillWorks as a pit stop to a National Trust near by and it was lovely! Great views overlooking the boat trips and the steak pie was amazing! Highly recommend! No parking though so make sure you follow the road round and they’ve got side streets about 10 mins over the bridge.

Had heard so much about this place since arriving in Cambrige so decided to give it a go. Food is super tasty and good brunch drinks as well. The kids menu is small but our little one liked it and ate most of it. The mill is also working which makes it entertaining and fun for kids. Good for quick or long brunch.

We made use of our discount from Granta Moorings, and enjoyed a delicious meal after our fantastic punting trip. The staff were so lovely, and there was plenty of choice to sit inside or out. The waterwheel inside was a fascinating feature. Our meals were quick to be served after ordering and everything was really delicious, and generous too. We also enjoyed ice creams in the sunshine and can really recommend them as well! This was a really lovely find in a beautiful setting.

I had very good time there being myself and chilling. Before I went there, a friend of mine suggested that bar can be also good place where you just do whatever coursework you want to focus on, which was to my surprise, but was exactly what I have been looking for - in Cambridge evenings sometimes I do want quiet study time but also enjoy a beer. This is perfect for my purpose. The waitresses and waiters treated me well. They didn’t discriminate someone simple because one brings laptop and does not plan to have a main dish (but only snacks and drinks). I felt welcomed. No one interrupted me for 2-hour quiet time - in a populous bar - you would not believe it. One of the waiters joked with me and it was happy time. I promised him I’d have main dish next time - to use their student discount, and very importantly, I’d bring someone I like.
