We had the most lovely meal here. Food was fab, staff couldn't have been more helpful and we had a really authentic Italian feel, the family behind the restaurant were so welcoming and chef came out for a chat. It's dog friendly (they have their own cat too who's unbelievably cute!) And overall we just thought it was a shame there weren't more customers in this lovely place! Definitely recommend wholeheartedly!!
I honestly cannot understand the positive reviews! Firstly it’s severely lacking atmosphere - we went on a Saturday night and it was empty bar a couple of tables, toys were strewn about the place from earlier in the day and there was no background music or candle light. As for the food - the menu is longer than an Argos catalogue and that should have been the first warning sign! We ordered the focaccia to share and it was in fact a pita bread with some semi raw onions in the middle of it! We sent it back and were just told ‘okay.’ At this point we really should have just left! We persevered for our mains and honestly they were so disappointing for the price - I ordered the rigatoni (which was £17!) and am convinced it was a jar of sauce with some pasta heated through in the microwave. My friends’ dishes were equally bland. My friend politely fed back to the waitress that the food was disappointing and was simply told “well other people seem to like it.” We were inclined to disagree given its near emptiness on a Saturday night the week before Christmas! In summary - a very poor pub charging high end gastro pub prices and offering none of the charm, service or food quality.
If you haven't been yet, you need to go! The food was delicious and speaking to the head chef and owner, it is amazing what preparation and fresh ingredients go into the food (fish fresh from London fish market and mozzarella from Naples). There are not many restaurants left like this place. Free samples of homemade lemoncello at the end of the meal. So welcoming and enjoyable.
Lovely homemade pizza. Best I have eaten in town. Fresh ingredients. No nasty additives. I can't eat sulphates which is often found in processed foods which chain restaurants use to ensure all the food is exactly the same. Atmosphere I scored lower as all the place needs us more people to enjoy the good food and drink.
We have visited this lovely place several times and we never got out disappointed. The service is always excellent and the food mouth watering. All made fresh hence why you wait a little longer but we were never disappointed. The chef takes pride with hie cooking and also with presentation. We had few celebrations here the last was my mother’s birthday. The staff helped with decorating the area and the chef personally came out to give his best wishes to my mum. Food was delicious. We were given home made fresh bread with an olive dip to start by the chef himself. We then tried the special menu, the steak and Guinness pie was to die for with some delicious home made pastry and genuinely full of big chunks of meat. Very generous portion that did not go to waste !! The homemade ravioli were absolutely amazing huge and full of ricotta and spinach. We ended our night with the delicious pudding from the specials which was kindly presented with a candle and served well presented to my mum. Thank you to Margo at the Old Mill for their hospitality and their amazing service. Compliments to the chef for his attention to detail and to Yasmin for being such a good host. I look forward for more celebrations at this fantastic place.
