Reviews
We visited the Mill wheel for a Sunday lunch as we were staying locally. What a fantastic place, the carvery was the best we have ever had. There was an array of vegetables, the meats were succulent and very tasty.
The staff were welcoming and more than happy to help especially our waitress Mollie. We will be sure to visit again as not only was the food and service amazing the pub it's self has a mill wheel fully visible that is fascinating to watch
Thank you for making my birthday so special! The food was absolutely amazing; I will definitely be back for pie and pint night. Amazing staff, beautiful room, and value for money. Thank you again!
Re-review
Massive appreciation to the manager Cheryl showing me concerns of the quality of my stay, testament to her dedication to the trade! To clarify my original post - the bedding and room had definately been cleaned and changed but the steamer was broken so the wrinkles were not ironed out. Totally understandable and Cheryl considered perhaps tucking the sheets in for a neater look. The faint smell couldn't really be explained, could only put it to being a people smell? But not a reflection of cleanliness of the place. The tea tray was intact super brand new that the residue I found was in fact the glue tack thing for labels(?)
Bed and bedding SUPER comfortable.
Bottles of water provided as a considerate extra, greatly appreciated
Great choice of food from the restaurant and cozy atmosphere with the open fireplace.
Overall I chose to change my review from 3 stars to 5 as Cheryl showed me genuine care of my thoughts. It's all about hospitality! Definitely recommend visiting and staying.
Original post:
Pros:
Bed had a nice mattress topper, felt very comfortable. All basic amenities provided. Very friendly staff
Cons:
I don't think my bedding was changed since the last guest - there was a very slight lingering smell of a person on the pillows, once flipped, it sort of eased. The duvet cover was not ironed or tucked in - making it look used. The tea coffee facility - a little dusty, no real attention to detail there almost bordering on neglectful.
The Mill Wheel is my second visit to this pub and so far has not been disappointing. The atmosphere is one of welcoming and wonderful bar staff. Food was excellent although only complaint was we were expecting to have the amazing carvery cobs, but unfortunately they changed the menu. But what we had was amazing I had ordered the Fish Goujons with salad and tartar sauce on Ciabatta, my brother in law had the Stilton and Steak on Ciabatta bread, and my sister had the Cheese and ham. Very tasty and certainly worth the money. Staff were professional and courteous in the service, and such a wonderful place. I give it a full rating.
