Brampton Mill Huntingdon in Huntingdonshire

Had a really nice meal. Unfortunately the car park is in a terrible state, full of huge potholes and with no lighting I stepped in one and ended up with wet feet.

Went to celebrate our Mum's 70th Birthday, the food and atmosphere was awesome, we had pre booked the table as it was for 10 people and it was really nicely presented when we got to the room. We were allowed to order from both the Main Menu and the Festive menu, both were exceptional, the Turkey dinner was fantastic and the gravy was another level, this is definitely a great festive dinner that lots of restaurants get wrong, not the Brampton they use quality products and it shows. Thank you for a lovely Birthday Dinner.

A lovely pub with a great atmosphere and cozy log fire. Great service from Max. Sausage and mash was amazing! Can't wait to go back.

First time customer and came for a Sunday lunch as we had a voucher to use. Such a beautiful building in a lovely location. The parking was difficult as it was so busy so be prepared for that. We both had roast beef with all the trimmings and it was delicious! Highly recommend! Our servers were lovely and we had a lovely experience. We were put in an area with a large party so it was noisy but apart from that a great place to come for food!

Excellent pub, food and service. No pressure to leave. Max was amazing! Will definitely be back.

The food was cold, but okay. We think the portion should be bigger for a Sunday roast for two, considering the price of it.

Decent, well presented food though a tad on the pricey side. Pleasant decor and friendly staff.

Good service. Good food. Good location. Good value for money. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for looking after us.

Wonderful setting and service and food are just great.

Fantastic food, wonder, friendly staff.

Caught with friends & had 40% off mains voucher

Fantastic service from Lauren and Chris for our festive meal. Really went above and beyond and couldn’t have asked for more

Excellent service and Chloe was exceptional and couldn't do more for us.

Really nice . Been a few times and always enjoyed it as does my partner and company. On this visit young Max looked after us and was the perfect host,thank you Max

Chloe was lovely! Even making sure we had coconut milk for lattes! A lovely evening

Quick and attentive service , both our roast meals had good features ; Eg the chicken was tasty and cooked just right whilst the sirloin slid down beautifully . Pork Crackling likewise was done just right. Whilst I accept that the Pork Belly by its very nature is going to be fatter than most meat ,the portion served to my wife was practically all fat with a tiny speck of lean, rendering it inedible. As for the veg, the roast potatoes were mostly cooked just right but one of mine was practically raw and indedible. The roast carrots and parsnips were just right ,but the " sauteed greens " were largely crude offcuts with dry stumps and not very appetizing although the nicely cooked leeks that were mixed in with them helped somewhat .

Great Sunday roast, good wine list, and friendly service. Will definitely return.

Excellent Roast Dinner and great service from Lauren. Highly recommend

Great location, good food, extensive & varied menu, fast, efficient service.

Always a great night for dates or with the girls - Rachel was a particularly good host!

Really lovely food and service fab. Definitely be back thanks x

So close yet so far. The location and design of the restaurant is lovely and the overall menu is very good, but there were many things that we wanted to feedback to the staff. Firstly, from the moment we entered the staff were very pushy about getting us to order despite use saying that we were waiting for others but they kepts saying "the kitchen is busy so best order soon". So much for a relaxed setting. For starter i had the jacquin buchette goats cheese, which was lovely and came with poached pears, but the bread was rock solid. I couldn't bite into it and when I tried to cut it with a knife it shattered into a million pieces all over the table. So i enjoyed my cheese and pears with breadcrumbs (as did everyone else on the table as it had gone everywhere). My parntner had the soup which they said was lovely. For main I had the battered cod which was limp and aneimic. Oil clearly not hot enough as I had just about cooked cod wrapped in batter with the consistency of wet napkins, which had been dumped on my, at best, warm chips, but neither had been drained properly and so we're soggy and in a pool of oil on the plate. My partner however had the "celeriac steak", and this ultimately is the reason I took to writing this review. £17 for 2 chunks of celeriac (definitely not steaks) that were basically raw, to the point we struggled to even cut them, and yet somehow dry, with some shavings of carrot and a spoonful of cold shallots, and a few mushrooms (4 halved button mushrooms doesnt seem very "exotic"). No gravy, no sides, no veg, nothing. The "house pesto" was nowhere to be seen. It was actually smaller than my starter, and we had to ask for some gravy just to make it palatable. Very disappointing dish overall, felt like the chef just plonked some of the leftovers on a plate and called it a "vegetarian dish". Think the chef doesn't care about veggie stuff. Why have banana blossom, a classic veggie/vegan alternative, and then stick eggs in it? Surely it makes sense to use Eggless batter so all veggies and vegans can eat it? Lastly was desert. "Callebaut creme brulee" you would expect to be chocolate flavoured as callebaut make some lovely milk and dark chocolates, but out come 4 bog standard creme brulees. Not a hint of chocolate. We thought maybe they were white chocolate, but if they were, none of the 8 of us could tell. So either the chef hoped we wouldnt notice, or theyre using so little white chocolate its unnoticeable (more to the point why call it a chocolate brulee you're not going to make it with cacao, seems redundant). My sticky toffee and rum pudding had zero rum flavour, but the pudding itself had a good texture. Overall disappointed by the poor quality of all our courses, and by a confusing menu with things that seem out of place and unnecessary (unless you know of them, saying valrhona and callebaut chocolate adds nothing other than confusion for many people) in a classic pub style venue.

Unfortunately you had run out of cauliflower cheese for the roast sharing platter and the meal was barely warm. The gravy was the same. No one came to check how everything was us so we couldn’t tell anyone. Then the chocolate sauce for the poached pear actually burnt my mouth! Didn’t expect that!! A real shame as the food tasted nice and atmosphere was good but a roast dinner needs to be hot! Told the waitress when she cleared our plates who wasn’t that bothered.a trio of meat roast would be better value for money rather than the sharing platter as not enough meat to share.

First the setting was lovely. However, the building needs attention, the windows are dirty, needs some painting and decorating, and parts inside look tired and unloved, example, ladies and gents restrooms. The waiting staff were all lovely. However, there was over an hour delay between starter and main course, of which the waiting staff kept us informed., considering we were the first in the room, everybody else had been served before we were even told there was a delay for us, and some people had even had their food and paid and leaving before we got our main courses, which was unacceptable. The main courses were disappointing, one of the diners, never got his salad with his vegan lasagne, the lasagne was luke warm, and had obviously been standing around for some time. One of the roast dinners, had 'two' pea, and a teaspoon full of leak, 1 small roast potato, and the majority of veg was carrot and roast parsnip, one of the other roast dinners, had no potato at all. The puddings were disappointing, the puff pastry apple pie, looked like a flat pizza base with sliced apple on top., the base was hard and almost inedible. For the price points for these meals which is higher than most, for what we got, frankly we would have done better at Wetherspoons was the comment of 3 of the diners. Whilst the delay was acknowledged and a discount off the bill was given, and that we had travelled an hour an half to get to you, we were very very disappointed.

I went out for lunch yesterday with a couple of friends and I would like to say that our experiences were absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was warm welcoming, the service was great, the food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and welcoming towards us. The pub is located on a perfect spot by the river too! We will definitely be coming back there again! Thank you to the staff their amazing hospitality and jolly good service!

Lovely roast Sunday lunch and excellent service from Leah ! Couldn't have been more obliging and a friendly smiley face !

Popped in for a Sunday afternoon cup of tea. Our server Max made an effort to offer options which were not on the menu.

Great place to get food and a pint. Max was a great server and our food and drinks came out extremely fast. Would highly recommend!

Max provided great service and recommendations. Food was great.

What a wonderful place, a roaring fire on a chilly night, such a great cosy atmosphere. Thanks Nathan for your wonderful food & Max for superb service. Will definately revisit K & D Renney

Lovely place, great foods and ambience.

Lovely place, always come here - excellent menu, great food and service!

Lovely atmosphere. Max was good in serving and making coffee.

Just popped in for a beer today. The two cask ales were doom bar and hop head. Both were fresh and tasty!

Extremely friendly and helpful staff, amazing venue with a lovely old town house feel. Lilly our sever made sure we were well looked after.

Brilliant, food and fantastic service from Freya and George! Food was cooked by Chef Nathan and it was brilliant.

The restaurant has so much variation, and Lilly, who served us tonight was kind and accommodating to our requests. Fantastic to relax and enjoy a whole hearted meal with an atmosphere that’s not only relaxing but warm and friendly too. Thank you Lilly.

Leah was the best So amazing and friendly She has been my server a few times and is always excellent Food also perfect thank you Christina/nathan Amazing

It was a nice atmosphere with a nice meal

Excellent staff, great food. Had a lovely time. Will definitely visit again!

What a great time we have at Brampton mill. Every visit just gets better! Can’t wait to come again for Christmas :)

We happened to be in the area and visited after many years since the last. It's nicely decorated and a good place for a special night out. Worth making for journey. The food was good, didn't have to wait too long, service was ok but we did have to ask for napkins a few times as they either didn't provide any or enough. Prices were fair particularly for the quality. Free WiFi, free parking

Food was average but service was very slow , 3hrs for 2 course meal. Spending in excess of £400 for 12 people. Only 7 desserts came out, others had finished dessert when other 4 came out. Had to ask for milk and sugar twice before it came after about 10 minutes. Very disappointed

Nice dishes, professional service, great atmosphere

We have been coming here for 6 years and the place holds dear memories for us. The last time we visited before today was in July and nothing like what we experienced today. We ordered our usual, a dirty burger, and waited quite a long time. What we recieved was not the definition of a dirty burger. This burger and chips costs £22.45 each. A dirty burger is usually loaded up with lots of sauce, an onion nest, pulled beef. After checking the menu, they had changed the whole burger, but the price increased. It seems its something we will now have to accept and just cherish the memories we had of visiting here in the past. It is not the same and seems to be declining each time we visit. The one positive was the cappuccinos were nice.

Food tasted even better than it looked. Would recommend. Very dog friendly bar areas tables. Staff very considerate. Bit of a wait to order at the bar though.

Worst risotto i ever had. Dried rice from the bottom of a pan with the ingredients on top. I have been before, and food is usually good, but this time, awful experience.

What a wonderful place for coeliacs! They truly understand what it means to be gluten-free and were very thorough when taking my order. The atmosphere is wonderful, too, with a roaring fire, low beams and quirky decor. Come here for a lovely treat and you won't be disappointed.

Great Service and Food as always. An absolute gem in the local area

Excellent service from all the team, but especially Freya. She looked after us the whole night and ensured all of our needs were met. Quality server on a busy evening!

Had a lovely evening, beautiful surroundings and the service was excellent. Will definitely return

nice scenery, good food, lovely staff

A very enjoyable evening, the food was lovely and the staff were extremely attentive.

Amazing food, great atmosphere and superb and friendly service. We will definitely come back

Great find. I am not the easiest customer as am Pescatarian, but Lauren was great and gave me various options to amend the fish dishes with meat added in the menu. The food was excellent, along with the service and Marius obviously knows his stuff in the kitchen!

Great recommendations given and swift service. Food was very tasty and new menu items available too.

Best meal out for ages, fresh, hot, and beautifully cooked and presented, friendly staff, picturesque location.

I had a veggie dish which was very nice and tasty, although a bit small. Our waiter was a young man who was lovely and really looked after us. It was £33 a head with no starter and a coffee and small desert and no alcohol so a bit pricey, nice for a celebration. We went in Oct so it was a bit dark but I can imagine in the summer it's gorgeous.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere

Beautiful cozy setting with a coal fire. Staff are friendly and polite. They always apologise if they're unable to serve us straight away ..nice menu offering a wide range of dishes. I had monkfish today and it was a bit chewy but I guess monkfish can be a bit chewy at times but I still enjoyed it..my husband s fish and chips was really good. Overall a lovely cozy experience.. Nice place to finish off the work week 😊also digs allowed in Bar area and thry have free dog treats 🐶

Enjoyed our meal - service was quick and attentive and the food good. We had lamb rump & sea bass fillets - enjoyed them both but they are not on the list of dishes to recommend

Excellent team of staff, great atmosphere, service and food is amazing!

We visited Brampton Mill for lunch on Monday. We were late for our original booking as taxi was late. Our table was given to someone else (okay, fair enough) but the hostess didn’t make us feel welcomed in any way. We ordered cheese fondue as a starter and it was served with three pieces of bread which was not fresh (I can smell it would go mouldy soon). It was two of us so we asked for more bread as we had some cheese left. We got one extra piece for two people 😂so overall the service was poor. I also ordered prawn linguine. The description was yummy, unfortunately the actual meal was very plain - couldn’t taste any sauce. My partner didn’t like fish & chips either - potatoes were burned and fish was tasteless. So we were not impressed by the food, or service - will not be coming back.

Very delicious food that is value for money but not cheap. You get what you pay for and this definitely a place that prides itself on service and great cuisine.

Been a while since I've been, took parents for a meal and the food was excellent. Service was brilliant and love the setting. Thankyou for a fab evening

We had a Christmas party here a couple of years ago, it was nice, food was good and the room we were given was good and staff were really great. The reason I put 4 stars is, there were issues with allergens, we called months in advance to let them know that we had one person allergic to milk and soy who couldn't eat any of the desserts on the Xmas menu. I was told the chef would cook her something different on the night. Then on the night we were told that we hadn't ordered a dessert for someone so I was like "yes, I told you this, she can't eat any of them she has allergies, i told you this on the phone, you have a list of her allergies" then they wanted to know who I spoke to because nobody had put the note in, so make sure you get the name of the person you're speaking to if you for warn them of allergies. They managed to resolve it though and made her something from the normal menu, the girl was really good about it and I guess she gets this a lot, but she shouldn't have to worry about it at her Xmas party. wouldn't do a Christmas party there again if I was still with my coworkers who had allergies. Other than that, it was really good, staff were great, room was great and the food was good.

Very nice place would recommend

Had a wonderful meal last Friday night at Brampton Mill. We were staying in the touring caravan site The Willows, which was close by and within walking distance. We had our 2 cocker spaniels with us and sat in the High Table area, where they were most welcome. Great service, great food and a super atmosphere. Will definitely be back when we stay at the caravan site again.

As our new local pub, we visited Brampton Mill for a Sunday roast with friends. The food was good however, the service was extremely poor. The staff were not attentive and instead standing round talking, and we had to ask to place our drinks order and was waiting a long time for food to come out. Plates were not cleared in between courses. Overall very poor service and would not be happy to return as it is now, especially for the price you pay.

Lovely meal and stunning setting

Great food and service! As a family of 4, we're regular visitors and never disappointed.

Found this gem of a place on our way back to the Midlands from Stansted Airport. Great atmosphere, quaint and rustic. Compliments to the chef 'Charlie', our food was delicious. Our servers, Caitlin and Freya were fabulous and provided a great service. Definitely would revisit if in the area again. Thank you.

Charlie's food was amazing!! Freya and Caitilin were lovely. I couldn't recommend this place more!

Great service and food and atmosphere

Always great food and great service. Fantastic location with great outdoor seating. The dirty burger is always a favourite. Seafood pasta was on point.

Really welcoming and the food was fab! Would definitely recommend.

Excellent service and the food was delicious. Hood size portions

The old mill atmosphere was good however, the car park had no spaces mainly due to several contractors’ vans in customer spaces. Long wait to be attended when we arrived and slow service once seated. 3 meals ordered - Sea Bass, Rib eye steak and fillet. Sea Bass was reported as good, Fillet cooked to medium rare as ordered but lack of flavour. Rib eye was ordered as medium rare and came well done. Expensive for a basic meal.

We’ve loved the Brampton Mill for many years but slowly watched it deteriorate of recent months, we’ve noticed the lady that appeared to run the place hasn’t been seen for some time & now all of the staff are unrecognisable, such a shame, the food is rough, the service is slow, tables are left uncleared, we’ve had 3 or 4 visits praying it’s not true, clinging on to memories past that they’re just having an off day but today was confirmation the Brampton Mill is dead!

Our go to place for food and drinks! Service couldn’t be better and atmosphere is amazing. Recommend for anyone wanting a lovely evening or daytime trip!

Amazing rustic setting. Good food and fun gin and tonics.

We enjoyed our meal today, the staff were lovely and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was relaxing and would definitely recommend.

Lovely old watermill with caravan sites right next to the river

Booking was easy and service from the start was second to none. Various roast options, the duo of beef was fantastic.. I ordered extra veg as prefer the non roasted. Would highly recommend

Fantastic service from Lauren. Food beautifully cooked and presented by Cristi. Thank you for make my birthday lunch so special and enjoyable.

Sorry to say we were very disappointed with our visit to Brampton Hill. We were shown to our table and most of the side plates were dirty ! The table was sticky. When we said to the waitress she said they came out of the dish washer like that! The plates had dirt on them. The food wasn't great. One had the duck and noodles, the meat was fatty and couldn't be cut with a knife. The beef wasn't great either ! The Yorkshire pudding was like trying to eat cardboard. The fish was lovely but 3 tiny potatoes and a teaspoon of spinach, left one feeling hungry. Beer was all but £6 pint. Whole experience was over priced !

Great service and fantastic personal service. Roast was amazing with large portions of meat. Great location and perfect end to our weekend away. Thanks. Jamie and Nigel xx

Lovely meal and service was really good. Harriet and Amie were very attentive. Check Cristian and Marius cooked delicious food.

The food was outstanding and the servers, Amie & Harriet were lovely and very attentive 👍♥️

Always such a lovely place to come and eat. Brilliant service as always! Highly recommend!

harriet and amies service was incredible. food was delicious! would definitely recommend

We had exceptionally good meals from starter to dessert, including drinks. The service was perfect. I highly recommend Brampton Mill

Lovely service, Rachel very attentive and friendly, food was delicious! Thanks Rachel and cristi!

Really lovely little pub with very tasty food and great service. Would recommend this if out with family or as a couple. Lovely outdoor seating area too

Incredible food cooked by Christi and Nathan, Tegan our waitress was lovely. Can't wait to come again. Great first experience visiting.

Love, love, love!! From the food to the service, we really loved our experience at The Brampton Mill. We came on a Sunday evening and opted for the beef Sunday roasts and a dirty burger…. Amazing! The roast meat was perfectly cooked, and the dirty burger was exactly what it should be, tasty and satisfying. We also went for a chocolate brownie and chocolate bomb for dessert, and omg the bomb especially was spectacular! The berries inside were refreshing and a nice touch to the presentation. The service was attentive and extremely friendly. And the atmosphere inside the venue was vibrant yet not too loud. We would love to come back again for lunch to experience the outdoor setting which I’m sure would be amazing. Our only ‘negative’ would be there isn’t a lot of car parking out the back. We waited a little bit until someone vacated, so not a huge issue, but just something to be conscious of, allow a bit more time in case you need to wait for a spot.

Exceptional service, food choices and flavours outstanding. Looking forward to our next visit

Had lunch and it was lovely. Good service (shoutout to amie and harriet) and the food didnt take too long to be served. And it was delicious too (shoutout to chef cristi). Will definitely come back and highly recommended.

Absolutely a hidden gem . The active mill is picture perfect .

Just absolutely gorgeous. The setting is beautiful, food was delicious and service was first class. Brilliant. Will definitely be back!
