Visited on Saturday night with friends to celebrate the hubbys 60th birthday...we had a magician come to the table (
Not planned) who was very entertaining and good...the meal was lovely, couldn't finish the main course cos the starter was so big! Overall we had a great evening, definitely a place we'll be going back to..
We go to the Old Mill quite a bit for a drink. In the summer it is a great place to sit out and enjoy the nice weather. We have been for food with family and also just us two. The food is excellent. There may be a wait at busy times, but that happens anywhere. The food is well worth the wait.
The staff are what makes it for me, though. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Good for disabled access as well.
Went on a busy night. Food was gorgeous, every mouth full. Servers were friendly and polite but the wait after the meal was so slow we didn't bother with dessert. Will be going back to try again, give it another go on a quieter evening. I do love a pudding.
The whole family went out for Sunday lunch and each and every one of us really enjoyed it. We will definitely return. We turned up without booking at 2pm and had a ten minute wait to be seated and then it took about 10 minutes for all of the meals to arrive once we had chosen. I thought this was very reasonable considering we turned up without a booking. The staff kept us informed of waiting times and food preparation times. The service was excellent and all of the staff were all very professional and each and every one of them smiled every time they spoke to us even though it was obvious it was extremely busy.
Delicious food. Always completely stuffed even without a starter or dessert. Attentive friendly staff. Quite expensive but it's not your average basic pub meal. Food is amazing. The fish and chips is better than any chip shop! Even if you order off the smaller menu - panninis, hot baguettes etc it's a huge plateful and very filling. Sunday dinner is lovely too.
Tucked off the roundabout, I wasn't even aware this place existed. Building is clean and well presented though location and style make it very dark inside on the whole. Just had a drink this time which was lovely. Staff were the highlight. Great banter and exceptionally friendly. I'm told the food here is decent so will be back to have a meal in the next few weeks.
We stayed here for three nights. The food is gorgeous! We both had the steak and ale pie. I can honestly say this was the best pie I have ever had! Large amount of tender beef, totally delicious! The full English breakfast was great too.
Friendly and helpful staff.
My only negative comment is the mattress was a little too hard for me (I have arthritis in my lower back) which gave me back ache.
Overall totally recommend this pub.
I just noticed another reviewer has given a horrible review. This is completely unjustified in my opinion. If you want to stay somewhere with good transport links stay in a city. Every night the pub had loads of people eating there - this speaks for itself as to the quality of the food, extremely competitive prices. We had the full English 3 mornings and it was huge and yummy.
Many staff were young but they were all friendly, helpful and efficient.
Would definitely stay there again if we go up near Durham (we are in Somerset so a long way away).
Very comfortable hotel, lovely food.. good choice of drinks, reasonable prices.. attentive staff.
However, we were a party of 5, and were told "no need" to book a table.. come the evening.. we had to wait for a table.. about 20 minutes.. then at the table we were told our food would take about an HOUR to come!!
Why aren't hotel guests allowed to reserve tables?
Why weren't we "warned" if the possible food delay when we checked into the hotel?
Like I say, the resulting food was very tasty and well presented.. just disappointed that as hotel guests we were not able to be prioritised.. it would be better if residents are treated better... lots of other hotels do this as part of the customer service package.
First time visit for food following recommendation from work colleague.
Absolutely lovely! Everyone else's food looked amazing too. No complaints at all. Will definitely be back.
Seriously nice food, party of 8 and most having different meals and every single person loved there meal, mine was steak and ale pie, plenty of beef and it melted in my mouth, well recommended a visit, service excellent and quick. Didn't see or use rooms, but still gave 5 stars so as not to affect overall rating.
The bar has lots of personality. Very nice helpful staff. Food was good and there was plenty of it. Price very reasonable. I would make a point of staying here if I were in the area again. It's a bit romantic, too.
