This was quite a last minute booking for my hubbies birthday As the restaurant we usually visit is closed on a Tuesday. I booked it after reading reviews on here. Also very close to home. We had a lovely evening. Great friendly service and the rack of lamb ( although does 2 count as a rack) were delicious also the... More

I am always amazed at the rather snobby value in these reviews....are people really that concerned whether they get Crabtree and Evelyn or Avon. It is a sad world!! Anyway enough. Great place...great food...lovely rooms. Only improvement could be the poached eggs.....the vinegar quiff would be an improvement plus scrambled eggs overcooked....should be slightly runny. Sorry...had a good stay.

Called at the Millstone by chance as we were passing, we got the " have you booked " question as always, and laughed when they said they could squeeze us in, because the place was empty apart from a few people at the bar, this was approx 12.30pm, however by 1.30pm the place was nearly full !! so I would...

Came to the millstone for our wedding meal. Just fantastic. What could have been such a stressful process was made so easy by all the wonderful staff and Anton himself. On the day all our party had a wonderful time no one had a single quibble about anything and the food was excellent. We cant stop talking about it and... More

We have stayed at the Millsone three times now and have only glowing reports about it. There is a VERY happy and efficient feeling about this hotel and the chef patron Anson Bolton is always 'out and about' in the hotel checking that his customers are happy with everything. Anson bears a striking resemblance to Heston Blumenthal but I believe... More

Many thanks for your kind feedback, we do like to think we're a happy team and such feedback really spurs us on. Anson's resemlance to Heston is the butt of many a joke and I believe when he first came to the Millstone he had a full head of hair! On a serious note we'd like to think our pub... More

We tend to visit the millstone at least once a month whenever we can and called on the way home without pre booking on the off chance they could squeeze us in late afternoon before the Saturday evening rush began. I had the small fish & chips-the batter is so light and tasty. Hubby had the special chicken with chorizo... More

Many thanks for your review. Our repeat visitors are really important to us as it shows that we are getting things right! Our Sticky Toffee Pudding is a Millstone classic but if you fancy a change next time I can suggest the Rhubarb and Ginger sponge that is new to our Spring menu. It's proving to be a big seller....

Nice clean room, lovely food and great service from all the staff. Great value for money as we had a special deal for a March stay. Not too sure I would pay full rate for an overnight stay however would definitely come back here again on a similar offer.

Many thanks for your feedback. I apologise for the grit and the size of the Scallops, we only use fresh Scallops and as a result their sizes do tend to vary. We've also changed the Scallop offering on our new Inn season and now offer the Scallop with a spring onion and Smoked Haddock risotto, which is proving very popular.... More
