Had a delicious brunch of French toast with tasty back bacon and maple syrup with a cappuccino. Excellent quality and lovely atmosphere, not rushed either. Will definitely be back! Thank you for a delightful experience!

I love Mill Farm and the staff are great. However, when I went with a friend yesterday for coffee and cake...a slice of lemon drizzle cake was £7!!! Her bill was £10.40 for coffee and cake! (Mine was £10.10 for coffee and a slice of rhubarb tart...). I could buy a whole cake for that!! While it was nice, I wouldn't be rushing back at over £20 for coffee and cake x2...please Mill Farm charge realistic prices as you are putting off your regular customers and any new ones too....

Well sign posted and easy to find. Lovely lunch and beautiful setting. However the full meals are over priced by £2.50 to £3 per meal.

Our family visited for lunch, we were unsure what we wanted and the waitress was kind enough to provide some recommendations based on what I said I liked. The food was served quite quickly, it was fresh and clearly homemade. My husband ordered a scone with Jam and cream, after seeing it, I had to take one home. I ended up not eating it until the next day and it was still unbelievably fresh. The meal was lovely, I would highly recommend visiting. I have now been a few times and I've never had any complaints. The food is to the highest quality and the staff are very friendly, what more could you want!

I was in two minds whether to submit a review however having read some of the third rate responses by the owner to previous negative reviews submitted by others , not I) I felt compelled to do so. Two weeks ago my wife and I visited for lunch. My wife is vegan, we ordered a vegan main accordingly (no problems so far) along with the main we also ordered a portion of fries after enquiring whether they were vegan ... cooked in vegetable oil and not used for non vegan dishes. The reply was no problem, all is good, Two days ago we revisited and fries were once agin ordered however on this occasion the employee taking the order took the time to explain that yes, vegetable oil is used but it is also used to fry non vegan dishes ... same chef on both occasions. When pressed as to whether the vegan requirement was overlooked or maybe misunderstood on the previous occasion the reply was that potatoes are vegan (get away who would have figured) and that vegetable oil was used. Enjoyed visiting this place but will not be doing so again. Is it too much to expect that professionals understand what a vegan lifestyle requires, obviously so. To close, in order to preempt any reply to this post, none is expected, appreciated or more so required. Lju Cosic

Never knew this place existed until today! What a hidden gem 😍 Beautiful surroundings and plenty of parking available with self catering accommodation too. The tables inside their lovely deli are well spaced out with additional outdoor seating in the courtyard (dog friendly too)🐾🐶 I opted for the Sriracha Eggs which consisted of 2 slices of toasted sourdough, marinara sauce, chilli oil, fried eggs and sriracha hot sauce 🔥 I did add on some bacon and a sausage as an optional extra at £1 each. Beautiful food. Lovely staff. Will most definitely be returning.

First visit and it didn’t disappoint , came recommended from friends and business colleagues, perfect after a walk in the forest . Lovely decorated and curry was delicious, excellent sized portion and not too long to wait . Used the bathrooms with my baby and found them very clean and was happy to use them , usually I prefer to change her in the car as most baby facilities aren’t the cleanest when out but couldn’t fault these at all . Ample space inside and not crowded in compared to some of the other venues in Hillsborough !

Great venue, neat as a pin, good staff, but I won't be back. Firstly, as with any cavernous all wooden/glass space we found the deli very noisy, so anyone sensitive to sound or using hearing aids would be uncomfortable. Unfortunately the background piano music soundtrack merely added to the cacophony. Secondly, I thought the menu was expensive for what it was. and expensive in comparison to other cafes in the village. We had one scone with butter and jam, 2 teas and one piece of cake which came to £15.10. Lastly, the food itself. The scone was dry and overmixed, lacking in flavour. The jam portion was tiny. Luckily the tea was good (teabag, hot water.. what could go wrong?) but you needed it with every mouthful of that dry scone. The cake was good, (again small portion) but at that price? Not good value for money. Sorry to say but with so much competition nearby I won't be returning any time soon. Pity, as parking is good and the grounds are lovely.

As a long-time customer of Mill Farm, I had an issue on a recent visit and wrote to the Manager to outline my concerns- but was not even afforded the courtesy of a response. Very poor altogether- so won't be returning.

My wife and I have been here three times and to be honest we enjoyed the food that we have had,my thoughts and reasoning for this review is that I feel it is very mean and petty to be charged 60p more because I have asked for extra satay sauce as I know from experience that the chips can be quite dry. I am aware that we are living in difficult times but I have to speak as I find.

Disappointing for a place well reviewed in the past. Menu’s good and the building and surroundings excellent. Alas the ingredients are very very cheap, hardly quality and some of the food dried out and clearly pre prepared and left to patch under a heat lamp. Staff aren’t familiar with please or thank you but to be fair it’s a warm day. Although the gentleman server clearly doesn’t want to be here or communicate - food is laid down and he walks away. All in all I would come back but work to do..

Visited here for Friday night dinner with friends. Hadn't been for a while and was delighted with the meal we were served. Really tasty and a nice selection on the menu to choose from. My husband and I shared the Nacho platter as a starter, our friends had Salted Chilli Squid and a Goat's Cheese fritter. The four of us settled on the Chef's recommendation for Mains which was fresh tender handmade Chicken Goujons served on a bed of Noodles and Vegetables with a Satay broth. No room for dessert this time! Really really good. The BYO is a bonus . Will definitely return soon. The place was buzzing and had a nice ambiance.

Was so disappointed that Mill Farm have decided to withdraw their vegetarian Friday night menu. Not sure what they are thinking. The 2 veg options they have on the menu are obscure to say the least. We won't be back until there is better veg options.

We visited family and they have told us about the Deli but we never had time to go try it, but this time we managed to fit it in. Well worth the wait. I highly recommend the Wheaten bread, scrambled egg and smoked salmon. Huge portions and very good quality. The teapot did me 3 big cups which in this day and age is very generous. The staff were very efficient as we were in a very large party and all go served at the same time with hot food. Ideal for families, elderly and disabled as really good access and parking for all.

Went to this restaurant a few days ago and the vegetarian/vegan menu has been withdrawn! This restaurant was one of the few places I loved. There were two options put on to the main menu for vegetarians, such a let down. Worse was the service when I tried to tell the waiter that I could nor eat either of the options, one was a blue cheese salad which I did not want in the middle of winter and I do not like blue cheese, the other was a chilli which I am intolerant to due to medication I take. When I explained this to the waiter he just grunted and asked if we wanted to see a manager. He offered no alternative nor did he offer any help. I am a wheelchair user and he seemed to have issue with me wanting to sit at the back of the table - I do this to stop folks tripping over the little wheels that protrude from the back of my chair. I asked to speak to the manager, and this is the only reason I gave 3 stars. She was great, upbeat, nothing was too much trouble. She organised some plain nachos with basic tomato sauce. Not ideal but better than nothing. I was told nobody complained about the menu, but people just don’t return if there is nothing on the menu they can eat! That is what I usually do, but the service I received from the first waiter is what has prompted this post. Dietary issues should be easy enough for any restaurant to cope with, particularly one with an in-house chef! Well done to the lady manager, she did say she would see about getting some veggie burgers back on the menu...a real specialty from the previous menu. I live on the same road as this restaurant.....it’s a real shame that they now offer nothing on their standard menu that I can eat. By the way I am not ranting about vegetarianism, I have been veggie for 36 years so I am used to just a few choices, it was more the attitude of the first waiter. The manageress was a gem and saved the day

This is a lovely and quiet place that is out of the way which makes it lovely and quiet and a pleasurable to place to be. There is allocated parking for customers and disabled parking is available. The coffee shop is unexpectedly big with plenty of available seating. It has a modern and contemporary design and the atmosphere is warm and relaxed. The staff are friendly and welcoming and greet you as you arrive. The menu offers a decent amount to choose from, however the breakfast menu is slightly limited. Staff were understanding and accommodated to our needs. I ordered the French toast with fruit and cream which was lovely, if a little creamy. On the whole, it’s a really lovely place with a great atmosphere and lovely staff. Would recommend taking a visit here.

Arrived and found the place after getting a bit lost. Got seated ok and looked forward to grabbing a small bite to eat. We plumped for a scone and coffee rather than anything heavy. Scones today mars or plain. Coffee came lovely and hot, scones arrived but were cold, cream was not fresh cream and jam was in a small reused pot and butter was a small square in a silver pot. I’m not normally one to gripe but when you go out it’s the small details that count. I did say to the gent that served us that it was disappointing that in such a lovely venue that things were scrimped on like the butter, cream and jam and he did say he would inform the chef and he did warm the scone on request. I do detest squirty bottle cream and this let the rest of the coffee date with mum down as the venue is so lovely and staff were so friendly. Think there’s room for improvement on those little details!

Called in with my elderly parents and my daughter. Beautiful setting. Deli is very clean and spacious. It was very busy for a Saturday afternoon and had to wait for about 10 mins but moved very quickly. Tables just a little close together in certain areas. Great Deli menus with a wide selection of mains and smaller dishes. The pie of the day was lovely and the burger was very tasty with good quality meat. Chips were class!!! My daughter had the Mexican wrap. Good flavours but perhaps a little soured cream would be a nice addition. All in all a lovely meal and would definitely go back again. It was very busy and the table service was initially a little rushed and rather brusque but perhaps understandable given the crowds.

Visiting an artist in the area and he recommended Mill Farm. We did drive passed twice as the sign is small (What3Words address is little.corkscrew.paddlers). Lovely food and a more unusual selection than I was expecting. Korean pulled pork in a beautiful brioche bun with sweet potato chips. The spicing was perfect; tingling lips but tasty rather than blistering hot. I would highly recommend and I will be going back.

Delicious lunch as always at Mill Farm. Highly recommend this spot - great food, clean and super parking. Perfect meet up for parents with tiny people. However, it'd be really helpful for this place to get a couple of Ikea high chairs. It would have made lunch today and last month a lot easier. The ones they have may look pretty and blend in with the great decor, but are not suitable for younger babies. The support with the strap in between the legs isn't good enough and my little one banged his head off the table a couple of times at lunch and the gorgeous (and expensive) voyage cushions kindly offered by the staff don't really do the job and are far too nice to be smeared with mucky hands. Do yourself a favour and purchase the Ikea high chair for customers with young babies. Hope when I'm back next month you have one for us!

The deli is in a great location and tasty food is served by friendly staff. Unfortunately it is let down by the noise - it sounds like a school canteen. The floors are tiled, walls are concrete and bare and there are no soft furnishings. This means noise echoes and amplifies around the room. Put some rugs on floor- even one on a wall, plants, picture canvases, table cloths , soft chairs and solve the problem!

The scones are delicious,freshly made & very moreish. The coffee is lovely, served hot & in proper crockery, not 'trendy' jam jars, we have also enjoyed tasty breakfast on other occasions. The staff are efficient, knowledgeable & very helpful. Prices are reasonable for home cooking, decor is tasteful, I love the cow sculpture! Being in a wheelchair there is plenty of room to manoeuvre and access & parking is excellent.

Went for breakfast last week. Nice place although very echoey, they could maybe put a few more tables in. I had waffles which were just ok, I believe they are bought in, my dad had the French toast which looked lovely though he couldn’t finish it, as he said it was far too sweet.

Call in here weekly especially for a tasty soup lunch with two generous slices of delicious bread. There isnt a lot of choice on the menu, but one can generally find something they will enjoy. Also a small selection of scones & pastries are available. Some ready made meals,curries,etc can be purchased or home. Everything is very new, & modern. Spotlessly clean, with table service by lovely staff. Seating inside or if the weather permits, outdoors in a pleasant rural setting, makes it a very relaxing location.

Mill farm service a beautiful lunch in a lovely setting. The portions are very generous. There is some lovely outdoor seating for a nice summers day.

We would be regular visitors for breakfast, and this is the second time we have been for The Mill’s “Friday evening meals” - absolutely superb. The food and staff are truly brilliant, and frankly some of the more pretentious restaurants in Hillsborough could learn a thing or two from this place.

Finally got to visit and was def worth the waited. Group of friends nipped out for lunch from work. We had a mixture of coronation salads, lasagne & Cajun wraps and all of us loved the food. Food is quality produce, well presented and very tasty

Lovely location, spacious seating area, excellent parking. Not far from Hillsborough in the countryside. A hidden gem, waiting to be discovered. I've visited it a few times now - all winter visits. The wood burner in the corner is very welcoming. It wasn't that busy on any occasion, but the service was good, and the food was great. Freshly baked warm scones with well made coffee - delicious! Soup (artichoke that time, it varies) and traditional wheaten bread also very tasty. Keep up the good work!

Been twice now and it’s a pleasant spot for lunch. This time I had the stew which was a bit soupy instead. Staff are nice and it’s clean and warm. Will I go back? Yes probably.

My wife and I have visited Mill Farm on a number of occasions since it opened. We often take our 94 years old Mum with us, who is confined to a wheelchair, as well as with other family and friends.

What a fantastic little gem just off the A1 from Hillsborough to Banbridge (on the route to Dromara). 3 mins off the A1 and you feel in the middle of the countryside at converted stables. This would be perfect for the Belfast-Dublin commuters too!!!

My friend and I went for lunch and we were not disappointed. Friendly staff and the service was excellent. A great choice on offer to please everyone. The chicken caeser salad was very tasty and a good portion. Lovely coffee and tray bakes to follow. A nice venue in the country side but close to Hillsborough.

Did not know this place was even here. Not overly publicised. Seated quickly and attentive staff. Very accommodating. Food was generous portions and delicious. Good selection of food. Price wise - reasonable for portion sizes. This was a lunch visit. Toilets were clean. Tables clean. Small play area. Seems child friendly. Will I go back - yes.

Really enjoyed our meal here last night! The service was excellent & the food was spot-on. My husband has a steak & I had the chicken fillet and we were both very satisfied We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere as well.. we were also very comfortable being there with our 10month old baby who makes his presence known .. looking forward to a return visit!

Had a very enjoyable lunch in pleasant surroundings. Meal was served without delay by attentive staff....I thoroughly enjoyed the 'pulled pork'. The overall atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed, and is certainly well worth another visit.

Visited Mill Farm on a busy Saturday morning and it was very nice. We 3 ordered off breakfast menu - scrambled eggs and smoked salmon and 2 baps filled with sausage, egg and bacon . Very reasonably priced with very pleasant and efficient staff . Great play area for kids . The style of this Deli - not sure if that is the correct description ? Is a lovely olde world style barn - very clean and contemporary - plenty of other similar places would have crammed in lots more tables due to the space - personally I'm glad Mill Farm Deli haven't done this instead they do what they do very well . We have visited a few times now and food and service is always consistently good - well done guys keep up the good work.

I visited The Mill Farm Deli (Restaurant) for the first time this morning - following a recommendation by a friend.

I and some of my family enjoyed afternoon tea in this restaurant. It was very busy but the service was good as was the selection of sandwiches and cakes. The waitresses were very attentive and the children with us were well catered for.

Four of us went for coffee. Absolutely no complaints about the coffee and scones which were excellent. Some soft furnishings would help to soften the echo sounds but it was well occupied which says a lot about the service and food.

Over-priced Christmas menu with no other option available. If other menus not available update your website! Sorry but I don't want a Christmas menu on 24 November?! Decidedly average service - at times constantly asking questions but then staff disappear when needed. No atmosphere and very average food - overcooked dry burger. Won't be back.

We loved the decor and atmosphere of this restaurant as soon as we walked in. Tables were widely spaced and layouts were arranged differently to meet the needs of groups or couples. It was lovely being able to watch the chef and his staff at work. Staff in the restaurant were lovely and chatty making customers feel at home. We opted for the tasting menu but portions were more akin to a la carte size! Be warned the ‘snacks’ alone equate to a main course especially if you eat all the lovely bread! Our favourite course was the monkfish, closely followed by the raviolo and dessert. Venison was well cooked but a bit full of gristle as it was haunch. Everything was beautifully presented. As I was driving I enjoyed a great mock tail with 0% gin and Armagh Apple. Definitely will return to try the a la carte menu.
