The Miller's Tearoom

What an absolute gem of a place this is. Nestled by the River Lea, it is not huge, but it is lovingly preserved and maintained by the wonderful team who run it. Very family oriented with some outstandingly imaginative activities on school holidays, it combines genuinely interesting history (the mill machinery dates from the 1760s and is still in use today) with a small but fascinating museum, interwoven with games, dress up, trails and a lovely outdoor space with cafe. If you live within a reasonable radius of WGC, this is a must visit destination with or without kids in tow. Superb!

Very interesting visit. The miller was great he gave us a good talk on the history, answered all our questions demonstrated the workings of the mill and the water wheel. He gave us so much time and was such a friendly chap. There's a small art exhibition in one of the first rooms, live music outside. They are running murder mystery escape room adventures around the mill at the moment which looked like a lot of fun. We had a lovely cream tea in the he gardens. The scones are made with the flour from the mill. They are lovely. It's a great place for a few hours out. Car park, toilets and friendly staff.

There are plenty of restored mills around, but very few are still actively milling corn to produce flour you can then purchase. This place is a rare treasure. Excellent from every aspect, but the warmth and enthusiasm of their team was memorable. Plentiful free parking, clean loos, superbly restored and lovingly maintained ancient fully working technology is presented in context and clearly seen and presented. Initial warm greeting from reception lady, tour conducted by the miller, and charisma of the catering lady with her perfect cream teas made our long trip to visit fully worthwhile. If you think you might find this place interesting, be assured you will. Highly recommended! Our dog enjoyed visiting too. Tea and coffee cafetières are “bottomless”, and it’s also worth visiting just to enjoy their cafe.
