Hornsbury mill Restaurant in South Somerset

We had a fantastic meal at Hornsbury Mill. We arrived quite late on a Monday evening after getting stuck in roadworks but we were made so welcome and had a lovely relaxing meal. There's an excellent range of menu choices, and all the food we had was superb. We were so impressed. We'll definitely be back soon.

The restaurant, surroundings and service was great. However, the Sunday lunch was not enjoyable. I had Turkey which was not fresh Turkey seemed like a processed meat. Roast potatoes were more like boiled. I would give a 4/10 For Sunday Lunch.

A fabulous lunch after a meeting in their coach room. Attentive to my needs - great wifi connection and well lit , sunny room. Always a pleasure to dine here and the staff are very attentive.

Lovely setting, extremely professional, friendly, polite staff. Food was outstanding. Would recommend taking a few containers to bring home excess food.

Came here for a birthday meal with my family. I have a very long list of food intolerances but the chef was amazing and finally I have found someone who I can trust to cook for me that listens and gives me confidence about eating out in the absolute knowledge that I won't be poorly. The staff are all really friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The setting is beautiful even in February with the lake, waterfalls, fountain and river. The waterwheel is still in situ and the history still in evidence. All of our meals were delicious and desserts were a little bit naughty but oh so good! Will definitely be back.

I came here this afternoon with my mum and my auntie for a cream tea. We were lucky enough to have sunny weather and be able to sit outside and enjoy the absolutely beautiful views. We were extra lucky to see the peacock and peahen too! The scones were delicious, very light and fluffy and baked to perfection! The accompanying jam & cream were yummy too. A truly fabulous location. The staff were very helpful, smiley and friendly as well as being really attentive. Thank you very much to all the staff at Hornsby Mill for a perfect afternoon! 😊

My husband booked a suprise valentines meal & we were highly disappointed.!! It was very cold most of the night i was wearing my coat .I ordered the pork fillet in parma ham ---- the pork was tough & dry & the parma ham snapped into pieces it was so dry .!! I hardly had anything to eat . The service was very slow inbetween courses . Let's just say we won't be eating here again.!!!!

I had pancakes oh wow very nice, hubby had a cooked breakfast said it was a bit greasy for his liking. Also had ceral and toast, there is plenty to chose from

Following a wedding in Yeovil , we dropped down to Hornsbury Mill Hotel and we were so lucky pair . Rooms , comfy and both slept well ,restaurant good meals breakfast and dinner . After our days out , the bar was a lovely chilled out expereience The manager she was so lovely and had a lot of local information

This is a lovely hotel & restaurant. we stayed in the millwheel suite , very spacious & a lovely bathroom . Great food & an excellent selection . Very enjoyable stay , due to Jane who deals with everything . Would stay again like a shot . Regards, Aston Parker

We had chosen to go to Hornsbury Mill for Sunday lunch as it was my birthday and my daughter and husband had been married there ten years ago. It was lovely for our granddaughters to see where their parents were married. We had a lovely lunch and the service was great.

Visited today for a couple of cream teas. The scones were freshly made and still warm and very tasty. The service was excellent and there was good evidence of safe Covid procedures being in place. We look forward to visiting again soon and sample the full menu.

Food was very good and very hot, but it was all piled up on the plate making the plate look overloaded and not very appetising it was off putting seeing so much food onone plate. would have been better if put in serving dishes.

Very nice meal, pleasant service. Lovely singer to set the mood, but could have been a little quieter as was hard to hear each other talk sometimes. All in all a lovely place.

Stopped here for lunch Went for the burger and banoffee pie Burger was quite basic to what I have had here before. Think it all depends on who is chef on the day here. Long wait as well for food.....don't know why as there was only 1 other table eating. Shame because this place has been nice before

Group afternoon tea. Sandwiches were ok, scones lovely, good selection of other cakes also provided. Had to wait for more tea, as no staff around to ask for re-fills, had to go and found someone each time. Perhaps more teapots would have been better.

We were invited to a 65th wedding celebration and had a wonderful tea which included sandwiches, cream tea with home cooked scones, then a plate of 7, yes seven, bits of various cakes. I dont usually eat cake but I did on this occasion and was disappointed - it was a great tea, in a wonderful location.

We recently had our wedding at Hornsbury Mill and have to say we wouldn’t changed a thing. Lyndsay, our coordinator was brilliant throughout the planning and the day itself and catered to all our wishes. She was so helpful, reassuring and professional, which means a lot when you’re planning the most important of your life ! The setting was beautiful and our guests loved the peacocks. The cornloft where we had our ceremony is so pretty and the orangery where are reception was is a lovely bright room. The food was absolutely delicious and the best we have had in a long time. The portions were great too!! All our guests commented on how lovely it was. I would highly recommend Hornsbury Mill. A big thank you to Lyndsay,Jane,Chloe and the chef and all the other staff for making our special day extra special !

Really nice place. Lovely setting with a couple of peacocks and geese around a lake.They have wedding receptions here as it's a nice setting. They also have the large water wheel here that is still turning The staff are young but really polite and friendly. The roast was really nice. I had the beef with a large Yorkshire...plenty of meat and separate bowls with veg and roast potatoes .Sticky toffee pudding with ice cream was really good too.You can have starters if required.All in all nice place nice food

Lots of character, especially the old mill in the middle of the building. We went for Sunday lunch & although menu was not extensive the food was delicious including the vegetarian option. Friendly & efficient service with no long waits,

Decided to go here for lunch recently. Friendly welcome and asked if we'd like to sit in the lounge to look at the menus or go straight through to the dining room - we opted for the later.Left to decide on our menu choices and then orders were take. Food arrived and was okay, although we both found slimy elements among the salad leaves served as garnish, so presumably not exactly fresh.The dining room was very cold and I was pleased to get in the car to warm up. Given that this is winter, may be they need to think about the heating used for this area. Also think it is perhaps time this venue was updated, as it is definitely beginning to look quite dated and tired in places.To summarise, the service is definitely better than the food and overall the dining experience here was disappointing.

Hornsbury Mill is somewhere you must visit for its wonderful features and excellent quality food at reasonable prices.

We booked a table in the evening on the 9th November for 4 in the restaurant to celebrate my birthday. It was a Friday evening so we expected a busy and lively atmosphere, but the restaurant and bar were almost empty and there was absolutely no atmosphere. Maybe the heavy rain that evening mean't there had been a number of last minute cancellations? The bar had run out of bitter from the pump and everywhere just felt cold and uninviting. The staff were pleasant and attentive so no issues there, but the food was a real disappointment. The lamb rump was fine but the sea bass three of us ordered was not good. We were each given one small thin fillet with very little meat on it. A big bowl of steamed and boiled vegetables arrived a little later and was a reminder of 80's pub grub and so boring no one wanted them. The puddings were dull by today's standards and the Raspberry Crème Brulee was served in a tiny espresso cup...one of the meanest portions I have ever seen for £5.95. We left feeling very disappointed with a restaurant and food that was well below par for the area and for the money we paid. Maybe we were just unlucky with our choice of evening?

Lots of choice and large specials menu, huge portions, and not bad prices, about average. Also do a two course lunch menu for £13.95 but we never ate at lunch as too full from breakfast! Highly recommended.

Four of us ate here in the Spring. What a lovely riverside venue, with waterfowl in the grounds, and the mill workings still in evidence inside. We ate well – two starters of walnut and pear salad, and one prawn cocktail. No one was disappointed! Then turkey kourma with rice and pappadoms; monkfish with seasonal vegetables; a turkey and chorizo pie with seasonal vegetables and new potatoes; and finally aubergine cannelloni.

Lovely wedding venue with beautiful gardens and a lake with peacocks walking around the grounds. Weather permitting you are able to be married outside beside the lake. The meal was very nice and all the staff were very friendly and helpful.

I spent last Saturday night here attending a Murder Mystery evening and 4 course meal. The food was delicious (apart from a side of slightly overcooked vegetables) and the evening's entertainment was BRILLIANT! I would highly recommend it.

We got married here 14yrs ago so we had wanted to go back for a meal on our wedding anniversary given that it holds special memories for us. The grounds are beautiful, the staff friendly and the food is fine - for an average pub meal. We do eat out quite a lot and I work in the speciality food industry so we are quite fussy and we do expect fairly high standards - just to put this reveiw into perspective for others. If you are looking for low-key establishment, no atmosphere and basic pub food, then this will be a delight as there was absolutely nothing wrong with the food and the staff were all courteous and pleasant but for us it is just average - especially as the prices are average to high I would suggest for what you get in terms of quality cuisine and service. I would pay those prices elsewhere and get much better quality and better presented food with much better service. The interior of Hornsbury Mill desperately needs some money being spent on it - and some loving attention to detail would not go a miss! I honestly believe that all the furniture is still the same furniture they had when we got married 14yrs ago!!! They have a lovey area in the bar with sofas but they are all so old and lacking in any support whatsoever! They had local radio on in the background to keep you company with adverts being played - not my idea of a nice evening out at all!!! When our meals were ready we were taken through to the restaurant where we were the only diners! We had noticed whilst walking the grounds before entering, that there had been another couple sitting at this same table prior to us - so they obviously just redress the one table! Candles on each table but never lit - that would have been a nice romantic gesture for our wedding anniversary hey?! Fresh carnations in the vase on the table although totally void of any water! Menu's are basic in both their offering and in their presentation. We asked for a bottle of Rioja - but there were 2 on the wine list but we didn't get the chance to advise which bottle of Rioja we wanted as the waitress had already disappeared as soon as we said a bottle of Rioja! A glass was brought - which was filthy! It was very evidently red in colour with lip 'grease' marks around the rim - it had obvioulsy not been washed and they were probably recycling the wine glasses from the previous diners as well as the same table!!! They did bring us a clean glass when we pointed this out. We were brought the bottle of wine and a bottle of water but neither were opened for us (let alone poured!!) - and just plonked on the table. In fact, we had trouble opening the bottle of wine so we had to call the waitress to open it for us. The waitress was in the the midst of bringing out our main meals to us when she was loudly called back by the chef as he had forgotten to put the mushrooms on the plates! A similar thing happened at dessert time - we heard the chef loudly announce to the waitress that he couldn't find the Baileys ice cream so they decided between them in the kitchen just to give us another scoop of another flavour - without even asking us!!!! It was just brought to the table and we were told they didn't have any baileys ice cream so they had given us another scoop of salted caramel icecream instead!!! We weren't asked if we needed any sauces with our meals so we had to ask for ourselves and at no point were coffees offered. Once the chef left for the evening upon serving up our desserts, the music went with him - so whilst they did have music playing in the restaurant rather than the local radio station (!) that had been in the bar, once he had gone, there was no music either! So the atmosphere was even more deathly quiet than before! In fact we wondered if we would just be forgotten about and locked in for the evening!!! We were just getting up from our table to go and pay at the bar when the waitress finally came out to us to confirm, that yes, we can pay at the bar on our way out. It was all quite funny to be honest but such poor service - so lacking in any 'polish'. What a shame! We probably wouldn't return to this restaurant again. We have been back 2 or 3 times since we got married 14yrs ago and each time we leave disappointed by total lack of atmosphere / ambiance (always pretty much the only ones dining - other diners have all obviously learnt the lesson that we haven't!!) and the food is really nothing special or out of the ordinary and the service definitely isn't! There is absolutely no attention to detail and yet, spend that (£88 for 2) in other places and the service and attention to detail is impeccable. We will go to those establishments going forward! We keep hoping that some money has been spent on sprucing up this restaurant and there may therefore be more people present, more atmosphere, a different chef, different owners, better menu, better service, etc etc but unfortunately it just isn't the case so it is probably time for us to call a day on this lovely venue steeped in memories for us......

We've been here a few times now for special occasions and have only had 1 experience where we weren't happy and so complained and it was dealt with very well.

We had the most perfect mothers day meal!! Not only was the food and service incredible but the magician who had been hired going round the tables really made it something special - especially for the children! This is always a more than friendly venue with a beautiful setting. Have never been disappointed with a meal here!! Highly recommended and a big thank you especially to Jane, Megan and Grant for making it a mothers day to remember! We week be back soon! :-)

Best ever.The food was out of this world.What cracking chefs work there,not to many left now adays.Thankyou so very much.

Greated by very friendly staff member who offered us drinks straight away. The specials board was filled with options for everyone. Definetly recommend the brie to start and the homemade cheese burger.

A pleasant setting but not a great deal of atmosphere due to the rest of the Hotel being empty apart from our party sat in the conservatory. The salmon starter arrived as a small portion on a very large slate plate. It tasted o.k. but there was very little of it. The turkey dinner was o.k. though the vegetables looked overcooked and many of our party complained that the plates upon which it was served were cold. I didn't taste the christmas pudding but I've never seen a slice of pudding before (!) and my friends complained it was dry and like a hard cake not a pudding at all. So sadly the experience was disappointing and therefore unlikely to attract our party to revisit.

We dined here with a friend, from the Christmas menu. The gravlax starter promised good things to come but the turkey was rather disappointing. Were we actually eating turkey, we wondered – it was difficult to tell from the taste. The root vegetables were generally good but the Brussel sprouts were under-cooked and the Savoy cabbage was over-cooked. We’ve tasted better Christmas pudding and the crème brûlée was a very poor example of the genre – far too ‘set’ and lacking creaminess. This place has a somewhat unprepossessing entrance, although the lounge is cosy enough. However, the restaurant is largely devoid of cosiness and the absence of table cloths makes for a rather ‘basic’, sterile look. In our view this is not ‘fine dining’ and although Hornsbury Mill is certainly smarter than The Cotley Arms at Wambrook (see out review of that pub) it lacks the food quality and presentational finesse which The Cotley has achieved so splendidly. We would not dine here again.

Starter goats cheese tart. Was very nice, pudding very good but question the amount of alchol as was driving. But main course. Beef good. Sprouts were harder than bullets. I am alm for an dante. But they were impossible to eat broccoli was a little better to eat, yorkshire pudding was burnt an only colour was 1 small baton if carrot. Very dissapointed for the money....

This is a beautiful old building with lots of character .

This review is well overdue. Me and my wife were lucky enough to get married at hornsbury mill on a fantastic sunny day. We got married out by the lake and it was the best day we could have wished for! Jane and Lyndsay and the team are fantastic, once they have met you, it’s like you’re family to them! Nothing is too much trouble. The food is great and the range is drinks is ample. Great for afternoon tea or a full meal. We will always have a soft spot for hornsbury.

In response to the boards on the roadside grass offering food/lunch we called in. On each two of the three...

myself, husband and 3 year old had an amazing lunch here today, by far the best Sunday lunch around, excellent...

Nephews wedding day was spent here. Drinks on arrival were much appreciated, both alcoholic and non. the bar was open with very friendly, attentive staff on hand.

We were the first people to arrive and were welcomed into the bar area by a lovely chatty lady. The parsnip soup was delicious, freshly baked bread to go with. Steak sandwich was given 10 out of 10!Highly recommend for superb food at a very reasonable price and great hostess!Will be returning!

Enjoyed dinner here (from the bar menu) whilst staying at the hotel. Both the bar menu and the restaurant menu offer a reasonable selection of good food at prices that are not too high.Good value.

I wasn't feeling hungry enough for a main meal, so thought I'd opt for the soup as my dinner so I could fit in a dessert too :)The serving of soup was huge and the tastiest veg soup I've had. My colleague's main dish looked just as good.We were torn on what to choose for the desserts and again they didn't disappoint. The menu was very reasonably priced.

Used to come here quite a lot with my parents. Popped back today as happened to be in the area. Not sure anything has actually changed! For the pretty millpond, that's a good thing. For the bar and toilets, it is not!The staff seemed busy preparing for a wedding, so we were completely ignored. Therefore, can't vouch for the food.The restaurant looked slightly more modern and there is now a wedding function room which looks out over the pond.For a wedding, this place might be okay, but as a casual diner not sure you're really that welcome.Plenty of parking. Pretty, but small grounds.

Met a friend for lunch today in thr beautiful sunshine. There is no where else I would rather go! The lake and grounds are just stunning and the peacocks are so lovely! Had a beautiful lunch tempura prawns and then a cheesecake for dessert - perfect! Service was amazing as usual - friendly and attentive. Would recommend everyone to go and enjoy the food, service and grounds. The perfect place to eat !

Excellent food & fabulous venue,I can't thank hornsbury mill enough for everything they did for my sisters wedding including catering for 40 of us the night before. High quality food in high quality surroundings.

My daughter attended a Christmas office party here and was so impressed that we decided to visit for a family birthday celebration.I booked online for Sunday lunch for nine of us including three children.Initially, I was extremely impressed when I received prompt, courteous email confirmation and was asked if we needed any high chairs.Regrettably, it was all downhill from here.We arrived on the day and had drinks at the bar before being escorted to our table.Three of the party had a starter and then we waited.....................and waited. We saw food leaving the kitchen for other parties that had arrived after us and then through the open doors saw that the kitchen appeared to be being cleared and tidied as though they were finished. We even joked that the staff would all be going home!We waited a little longer......Eventually, after over 45 minutes, our waitress emerged, apologetic for the wait, but with some food! Thank goodness! The children were absolutely ravenous by now!The food was cold.The vegetables were so al dente that they were cold and crunchy and definitely, not appropriate to accompany roast beef, even if it was barely warm.We had obviously been completely forgotten and instead of an explanation and appropriate apology, they tried to carry on as if nothing was wrong.This was bitterly disappointing, particularly as they were aware that it was a family celebration .Needless to say, they were not at all surprised when we complained.I have to admit that our complaint was dealt with sympathetically and fairly (I think the lady's name was Jane who dealt with us), we were only charged for our drinks and they were most apologetic.Unfortunately, it didn't make up for a precious family celebration being ruined.

Very delicious breakfasts and a 3 course meal enjoyed here last weekend. I would highly recommend the beef!

Having been for Sunday lunch a couple of months ago, we decided to return on Easter Sunday with visiting family.We had enthused about our previous visit so were bitterly disappointed by the serving staff and the food.None of us appreciated being served by by young girls, dressed in jeggings and obviously not knowing what they were doing - we were brought food ordered by a different table! When our order did arrive the roast pork was tough, the roast lamb was dry and the vegetables cold, either under or over cooked and meagre - enough for three but not for four

pop in for a quick bite, stunning grounds, food was very good, lovely seating in the well keep garden,

5th April wedding anniversary meal with grandchildren absolutely gorgeous meal food cooked to perfection could not fault in any way will be going again soon many thanks to the staff who made us feel very welcome thank you for a very relaxed evening

Went for a mothers day meal today and was truly horrified by service and food standards. The staff were not welcoming or attentive. There was 9 of us and to start our ticket was apparently misplaced then we were served cold soup and one starter was forgotten, for mains we had roasts and the veg was luke warm and under cooked so still crunchy and for pudding they served us frozen yoghurt trying to pass it off as ice-cream. Also staff weren't polite and didn't know the first thing about table etticate. However they tried to apologise by dumping a bottle of wine on our table when none of us were drinking wine.Overall it wasn't a enjoyable experience and I wouldn't recommend.

The Hornsbury Mill Restaurant is on the A358 on the road from Chard towards Ilminster. It is in a distinctly rural location, with fairly large grounds with a little river running though and containing and a small lake/pond c/w ducks and peafowl! Widely used for Wedding receptions and similar functions, it is a really "comfortable" place to take Lunch or Dine of an evening. While it is well placed for people from as far away as Yeovil to the East and Exeter to the West, it is also a really good place to stop if you are heading for The West Country from London or the East, being only about 3 miles off the A303.The food is good, the staff are very pleasant, and give a gentle unobtrusive service. There is a typical "English Country Hotel" atmosphere about the place that makes you feel "at home" and yet "on holiday" at the same time! There is never a feeling that you are "being rushed", yet there is never a long wait for ones meal.The food menu is varied, and they have a reasonable but not extensive wine list.From Monday to Fridays they offer a Special Lunch, which offers 2 courses from most of the menu (but not all) at a very competitive priceThe bar itself is small, but the room that it serves is not. We like to sit in the well stuffed chairs while we chose our food and again afterwards while we take our coffee. We just love it!If you are coming a long distance, it is probably best to ring to make sure of a table. Tel/FAX: 01460 63317 or email: info@hornsburymill.co.uk

We held a Dinner for 111 people on Saturday & it was a very successful evening. We had many very positive comments & everyone that we spoke to thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The food was delicious as it always is. We requested more vegetables for our table & it was not a problem & they were delivered a short while later. Jane as usual gave 110% to ensure that the evening went as smoothly as possible. We are aware that a member of staff suffering an accidental injury in the kitchen, which caused a difficulty with the service but Jane dealt with this in a very professional manner & the guests were unaware that this had even happened. This is the 4th year that we have held our Annual Squadron Dinner at Hornsbury Mill and we return each year because of the delicious food, beautiful setting & excellent service by Jane & her team. Thank you for another wonderful evening. We will be returning!

120 of us booked in for a dinner function. Greeted by 1 person serving at the bar. Then ran out of change, so had to wait. It was not as if it was a surprise.Starter of pate was served with what seemed like 2 day old bread. Not particularly appetising.Main course served with enough veg to satisfy the hunger of a small rodent, not adult persons. Not much in the way of gravy either.For desert, the locally sourced cheeses seemed to have been sourced from the local Tesco along with the tired dry sticks of celery. Biscuits were abundant, but 1 small rectangle of butter was not enough to cover 1 small hovis biscuit, let alone 2 cream crackers.Our table was missed for coffee, so we had to ask.Overall, poor service, meagre portions, lack of bar staff made this a night to forget. We won't be back in a hurry.

The restaurant we intended eating at was closed and on our way back to Taunton we spotted the Hornsbury Mill and decided to visit and have a Sunday roast. Ashleigh and her colleague were excellent hosts and cleared a large table with an excellent outside view of wildlife including peacocks just for the two of us. The roast pork and topside were both exceedingly tasteful coupled with a generous helping of well cooked vegetables and the deserts were of the same high standard. Ashleigh and her friend displayed a great sense of humour and instead of eating at our regular restaurant close by in Devon, we will definitely be returning to the Hornsbury Mill for another meal. Well done.

gastro pub is a joke. the beef was tough, coffee cold and service slow although friendly. The settting was magical shame about the food.

I hadn't eaten here for over forty years and was delighted to be invited to a function here. We arrived at the main bar and ordered drinks when a waitress told us we were in the wrong place and we had to go to The Orangery which had its own bar! We were directed to The Orangery, but there was no one serving at the bar! After a while someone came and we ordered our drinks. Not a good start. We had pre-ordered our food which was served at the agreed time. I had ordered Pate (no problems there), Rump of Beef (a steak knife would have been handy) and a selection of Ice Creams (which were among the nicest that I had ever eaten). I learned later that the Ice Cream was made at the Mill. Some people mentioned that their food was cold, but I didn't have a problem with this.

A local friend recommended and took us to this place for lunch. A lovely setting, and a great relaxed atmosphere made us feel very welcome. The food was very good and reasonably priced.We'll definitely come again, the next time we visit our friends.

Absolutely gorgeous, great selection and lovely service.treated my daughter for her 21st birthday and will come again

We popped in on the off chance on Sunday evening we have eaten here many times over the years and with different owners. The restaurant had 12 covers that night and 3 waitresses. I was disappointed to arrive to find an uncleared table that remained that way the whole time we were eating :( starters were prompt but hot food took an hour although really good so no complaints on that score. We were a little peeved that others who arrived after us were served before us and to compound things when the waitress kept apologising to the table to the side of us for their wait and not us we felt forgotten and then she offered them a free glass of wine and 10% off the bill! Guess mine is in the post. So £87 later what would I say great food chef is doing well just needs either to speed up or get help. Presentation was very good. Staff were pleasant although not attentive to the restaurant or guests. We were not given an opportunity to order more drinks. So little things that made it not 5 excellent but things can be turned around and addressed going forward.

Trying to book a table here is near impossible, as they only seem to have one phone and it's rarely manned. On this occasion we just turned up hoping for a free table. Luckily we were told they could fit us in. The food was tasty and menu fairly good. Could be a little longer. The only negatives were the lack of sauce on the mixed grill which made it dry, and it only came with 5 chips!!! Our first choice pub (The Cotley) was fully booked, but this restaurant was very quiet, which I can only guess is because they never answer the phone? We will return and hopefully the chef puts a few more chips on, as they were delicious.

We went to a wonderful wedding. This venue is beautiful, with a pretty lake to wander around. The food was excellent. We enjoyed the day. But just a warning for the ladies!! Leave your designer heels behind. The gravel will ruin them !!

We had the "two courses for £12.95" lunch on a Tuesday. It was very quiet and we ate in the bar (they did offer to open the restaurant but there was only one other couple eating). Very friendly staff. Limited menu. The food was OK - hot and well cooked but "pub grub" rather than restaurant level. Don't expect much in the beer department! Had a quick look round afterwards - lovely garden with millpond and lots of space for large parties.

Visited the Mill for a day trip with a group of friends, some of who were quite elderly.Lovely setting. Great facility for a Group event. Lovely new extension which enabled us to all be together for lunch.The food at lunch was very good. Quite a limited choice because we were a party of over 20, but the food was very good. Well served by friendly and helpful staff.Would definitely recommend it.

We visited the restaurant for a family meal prior to a wedding. The meals had to be preordered as we were a large party. The service was swift, and the meals well presented. Not a massive selection of meals available, but should suit most tastes.

Very pretty setting on a small river-lots of space outside with seating--but watch the kids--open water and streams .Lovely building-but thought the food was very average plus a bit over-priced--all of our party thought it was not very "special". Will not go there again--other much better choices in the area.

We went here for cream tea as part of the celebrations for Hubbys parents Diamond Wedding Anniversary. What a lovely afternoon. The cream tea was gorgeous with lots of lovely cream and jam. The surroundings are also very beautiful and the band stand had garlands around it, as it is a wedding venue. This was great for a few pictures for the scrap book.

Small intimate restaurant with views of the old water mill wheel. Locally sourced food, cooked fresh, presentation outstanding, and tasted delicious. Home made beefburgers a dream so was the mouth watering fish with chunky chips. Deserts also tasted so delicious.

First time I have visited and possibly the last. Location was very attractive so can see why a popular wedding venue, but the food was very average.

Fabulous food, and place in all aspects. Well recommended.called in for morning coffee. And booked Sunday lunch which was excellent. The grounds are wonderful, with the beautiful Peacocks an added attraction.

Having tried most places in the area, this place is one of the best. The food was excellent quality and very good value for money. It's a shame when we visited we were the only ones there, which was a bit of a surprise considering how Good the food was and how friendly the staff were.

Recommended by a neighbour. Our first visit since moving to the area and we weren't disappointed with the Sunday Lunch. Beautiful location with a warm welcome. Comfortable lounge for a pre-dinner drink whilst making selections from a limited but balanced menu. Waiting staff very polite and attentive without being annoying. The food was fresh from local producers, the roast beef beautifully rare, thickly sliced but tender and full of flavour. Our only critism was that the menu stated that gravy was served on the plate but a separate jug could be requested. This we duly did but still had to remind the waiting staff!Will be returning shortly and frequently!

I visited for a weekday lunch. I ate chicken stuffed with brie, with sweet potato and vegetables. For dessert I went for sticky toffee pudding with banana ice cream. It was all delicious. The vegetables were cooked just right, not a hint of the softness of overcooking. I'm not sure I'd ever have put chicken and brie together but it was an interesting taste. The sweet potato stack was delicious. Everything was well-presented and I found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. We will absolutely back. We haven't visited for four or five years following a very disappointing visit so we were delighted at this meal. The ducks and geese, as ever, are delightful.

We visited today for Sunday lunch and again,were not disappointed. The service is second to none and the staff very attentive. It has such a relaxing atmosphere and is lovely to relax in the lounge with a nice cup of coffee. Beautiful surrounding with peacocks strutting around. Nice venue for an occasion, I would imagine as well.

We have always experienced good food and a very friendly reception from the owner and her staff. The Peacocks,geese and ducks are a bonus! Beautiful location.

We were married here in September 2014 and our family treated us to a night in the same room last night, 31st January 2016, as a birthday present for me. This included an evening meal and breakfast.I had a Tiger prawn starter, a steak main course and THE best cheese board I have ever had, as the third course. The food could not have been better. Everything was perfectly cooked with top quality ingredients, beautiful flavours and hot to the end. We were served by a lovely waitress who was attentive and very helpful. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and the whole place is like a lovely country cottage.The room was lovely with everything you need and the bathroom was spotlessly clean.We had breakfast this morning which was equally as good. Help your self to cereal, yoghurt, toast, fruit juice etc while the chef cooks your full English. It states on the breakfast menu that breakfast is cooked to order and may take up to 20 minutes but ours was less than 10 minutes and I cannot remember ever having such a nice breakfast in any hotel, anywhere.Book your stay here, or just an evening meal and you will not be disappointed.We will definitely return.

We went back to visit this place as our daughter got married there six years ago. We had a lovely Sunday lunch with friends the food was lovely and nothing was too much trouble for the staff we were shown around with our friends to see the changes made since last there. A lovely place to stay or to have lunch. Will definitely go again

A friendly venue for a cup of coffee or a wedding. Accommodation available too with management offering personal service and attention to detail.

We went in to meet with our wedding coordinator on Sunday to discuss some details about our 2016 wedding. afterwards we had Sunday lunch, it was so good! The meat was so tender, huge bit of beef cooked to perfection, perhaps slightly too pink for my fiancé but i thought it was perfect, the Turkey was lovely & moist, not at all dry, could have perhaps done with more gravy but I'm sure if we asked we could have had some, the roast potatoes were crispy on the outside & fluffy inside! we were really pleased with the quality of the food, best roast dinner I've had for a while, would definitely go back for a roast again. The staff were all really lovely & friendly too, great service!

Saw advertising sign from the road and decided to call in for lunch. Overwhelmed by friendly and helpful reception we received Comfortable surroundings made you feel at home. Prompt unobtrusive service. Food excellent. Well cooked, well balanced, great flavour, and well presented. Thank you. Will be back again next time we are in the area

First visit for Sunday Lunch having previously tried the Steak Night.Did not disappoint, warm welcome, lovely food good choice of menu we had beef and turkey and both were delicious, portions very good. Cannot fault this place it is really lovely and water wheel makes it a nice place to bring friends. Having just moved to the area we will definitely be coming back. Service excellent.

Our group of 4 were able to have a table in view of the Water Wheel. A great talking point for us. Somewhat slow getting to table. Very quiet that night, no-one rushed to greet us, but eventually it ' all came together'. Our meals were ' delicious' and timely considering we had 4 different entrees. Table service was attentive and we were given time to sit and chat over coffees and desserts. A very pleasant environment.

This, if you are of a certain age, will most definitely conjure up images of that classic series. We've only been once, for lunch, and the food was fine but nothing special, and it was a bit like eating in a big lounge. The hotel gentle bustles around you, which I quite liked, and I'd imagine a wedding here would be a hoot, but there are better lunchtime eateries to be had these days.

Went for a 80th Birthday party here in October. Lovely place and excellent staff. Food recommended.The building is an old mill which still works and through the built in windows you can see the old workings.

We went to the Tuesday Steak night for the first time on Tuesday.Delicious food cooked as requested and a very reasonable price. The steak was lovely and tender a bonus was the wine in the deal a red with depth and oak after tastes. The water wheel was turning while we were there which all added to the atmosphere. Most enjoyable will go again.

We stayed at the Mill and ate in the restaurant in the evening, The staff were very polite and attentive and the food was excellent and very hot.

Restaurant great. We had a steak night here on 22nd September, following our wedding on the 18th at same venue as we just can't seem to keep away now. Steak night was great value for money, cooked and served beautifully, good service too.

We have just celebrated our son's wedding at this delightful venue. Everything was perfect. Thank you to everyone involved in making it a day to remember.

We got married here at honsbury mill. Food was great and the day flowed lovely. Staff espec one but unfortunately couldn't remember her name was lovely and helped us so so much. Rooms clean and presented nice. The grounds kept smart and wonderful in photos. May have been slightly over priced but that's Devon/Somerset weddings for you! Looking forward to going back for a meal in the near future

Things didn't get off to a good start when we arrived. We didn't know exactly where the restaurant was, so we walked into the bar, and the one bar lady was busy with a few people. We saw and followed the sign to the restaurant, where there were two occupied tables, but no sign of any staff.After a couple of minutes one did appear and said to go to the bar, to where we returned. I ordered drinks and said we wanted a table in the restaurant, but as soon as she served our drinks she moved to another part of the bar to serve someone else. We wandered back to the restaurant and about 30 seconds later the same waitress asked if we'd been sorted out with a table. I said no, so she said they weren't busy and could sit at any of the vacant tables.Once we'd sat down I couldn't really fault the service, although there was no specials menu as they were between menus (something I only found out when I asked). The normal menu was interesting, and quite reasonably priced for this kind of venue.I opted for a starter: "Spicy breaded chicken wings, julienne of cucumber, celery & red pepper with a blue cheese dip", it was sizeable in portion, but maybe a little over cooked as the outside was getting rather dark and quite crispy.For main course I opted for "Pork Tenderloin: Passanda, roasted almonds and orzo served with char-grilled flatbread, mooli and red onion relish", which was delicious, and again of generous proportion. From the bar menu dad selected "Tempura Cod: Fillet wrapped in Parma ham & lightly battered, mushy peas, triple cooked chips & tartar sauce" which he also thoroughly enjoyed.The delightful Wheelroom Restaurant has a fine view through a glass panel of the massive old water wheel, but you can also choose to eat in the bar or outside by the lakeside.Overall this was a very pleasant lunch, and somewhere I'd like to return to.

Omg if you want to visit a place from yesteryear you've found it........it's like stepping into a museum......we will not be going back here......the staff are so young they haven't a clue about customer service.

Ten years after getting married here, we decided to return to reminisce, this time with two kids in tow! My how those years have flown by.We treated ourselves to afternoon tea. Sitting in the restaurant, with views of the garden & the old water wheel turning slowly.What a selection of savoury treats, salmon, coronation chicken. What a selection of sweets, cream teas, lemon posset, eclairs, mini meringues, cakes, champagne, it just kept on coming ! Wonderful. Our ever attentive front of house staff, always on hand, boxing up the left overs, for later. A nice indulgent afternoon.

Visited the Mill for Sunday lunch, our party all had roasts of ether lamb, beef or pork all very well cooked. Deserts were well presented and tasty, staff friendly and the service was good. Excellent venue and worth having a walk around the grounds

A nice varied menu, spoilt for choice and liberal portions. There was a large choice of desserts but we didn`t have room!

Lovely olde worlde place to eat stunning gardens and ponds nicely presented food and good range of menu

Decided on their fixed lunch menuExcellent value Service not to be faulted although fairly busy not kept waiting to place orders for drink and meal and these were served well within an acceptable period Would not hesitate in recommending or returning

My husband took me here for my birthday and we had a lovely evening. The staff were pleasant and attentive and the food was really good. Would definately recommend for a romantic couples night out but also great for big events especially as they have a gorgeous newly built orangery

Abbastanza tipico, sirloin steak nella media ma ben cucinata, starters come da copione in GB. Servizio adeguato.Tipico ristorante di tipico hotel inglese...

Lovely ambience and lovely food.I am a regular diner here as they offer fantastic value for Two course meal at lunchtime from Monday to Friday for £12.95.Staff very friendly and welcoming. Give it a try.
