Mill Inn in Mid Suffolk

We stopped here for a meal on holiday and were very lucky to go on steak night. My husband can be very particular re his steak, but he needn't have worried as it was cooked to perfection and very reasonably priced. Friendly service and we felt very safe.

As group of 5 we went for lunch on a Saturday.The Inn itself is dated but clean.The women on the bar was quite gruff including making a bit of a fuss that we didn't want to pay all together; card payments seemed a bit of a trial too! A wide selection of food was available and good prices; all mains were under £10.When the food arrived it was clear it was freshly made including homemade chips which was nice. In summary good value and reasonable quality but the attitude towards customers needs a fair bit of work.

Initial reception could have been better left waiting, and then not the best welcome from the first member of staff who spoke to us, there was no engagement of conversation and we didn't feel valued as a customers.We were served very quickly and we agree that the food was very good. the waitresses who served us were very pleasant and said all the right things, which made the experience for our first visit to the Inn better. The food was good value for the money. Despite our initial concerns we would make a return visit.

Just had a group meeting in the restaurant. Chips Scampi and sandwiches where served. Disgusting. Chips and scampi tasted like old oil, sandwiches made with paste, I went home hungry and will never return. These people do not have any idea of catering. Forget the notion of home made food that other reviewers promote. Just plain bad. They need to employ a chef, not some ametuer cook from a local village. Really annoyed.

My wife and I visited the mill for the steak night,we both had the ribeye m/r,it came with fresh chips, mushrooms,griddled tomato and peas.we ordered fresh onion rings and pepper sauce each.OMG.It was fantastic,the steak was cooked to perfection all the way through,the fresh onion rings were to die for.our only gripe was the chips needed another 2 minutes in the fryer.pleasant staff and a nice atmosphere.The 2 steaks plus the extras and a pint of Guinness and a decent size glass of dry white wine came to £32-80.we will definitely go again.Thats a comment from a former chef of 40 years.

My partner and I visited with our Labrador on a Friday evening. We were all made very welcome in the bar, which is a traditional style pub. There was an extensive selection of homemade meals, all extremely reasonably priced at ~£7.50! Nothing fancy, just really good grub, in a relaxed pub setting, at great prices. I’m struggling to think of many other pubs that remain in this traditional sense - most have either closed or become more gastro-orientated. There’s also a lovely quaint garden at the back and a large private car park.

This is one of our favourite almost hidden gems.No signage outside to say that food is available but oh my word everything is homemade at great prices but have to say that the fisherman’s is the best I have ever had !!!

My wife and I visited this Public House for lunch. We called in for an unbooked meal. I had had a recommendation by a local resident.The specials board was good and we has Rabbit casserole and chicken casserole £7.50 each. It service was very fast (5-10 minutes). My rabbit casserole had very little rabbit but was otherwise tasty.However the Mincemeat, banana and almond tart was scrumptious, £3.60 each.Service was quiet and efficient, fast service as we did not want to take a long leisurely meal.Total bill just over £25 - very generous for 2x two courses plus 2 portions of seasonal veg, plus two J2O's.Pleasant enough decor, but rather tired.We would be very happy to eat there again if we were passing through and personally would have a different main course but would hope the desert was available again.

Had meal here with friends the food was great , also people were there playing music and singing a very good entertaining evening will definitely be going again .

Took friends for a meal food as good as ever was enjoyed with quality home cooked food hot and fresh

Great atmosphere, large menu with specials board, home cooked food, dog friendly in bar area, nice range of beers etc. Staff very friendly, that’s why it is our local pub. No gaming machines or loud pop music, pensioners menu on Thursday lunch time two courses under £7 each.

Went her last year. What a lovely menu; I was spoiled for choice. When the food came it was hot, tasty and really good. Very good prices too. Would recommend it to anyone

Have been here numerous numerous times...delicious home cooked food and the best fisherman’s pie in the world! Thank you!!!

Enjoyed another excellent evening at The Mill last night. Food was delicious as usual. Service was very good. The price excellent, best value for money around here.

Called at this wonderful pub to celebrate my birthday. A really extensive menu with most dishes under £8. Delicious home made sweets for £3.50. Amazing value and a very friendly place to visit. Hope to make it a regular haunt.

Second time here and it was just as good !! Food is so enjoyable and not pushed out , can’t believe the price , will definitely return

Been here several times both in summer & winter so have sat inside & out. We’ve had lunch & dinner & never been disappointed.

My partner and I both had beef hotpot, new potatoes and vegetables, with 3 drinks and the bill was under £20.

Have been to this pub several times for meals and have never had any complaints, good sized meals and what a choice and so reasonable

Este lugar es verdaderamente en su propia clase cuando se trata de un servicio realmente pobre (muy como un pub local para gente de Royston Vasey! ! ). Comida basura (directamente desde el congelador, en el microondas y a la mesa) y una falta total de cualquier ambiente. Sólo recomiendo una visita si quieres ver qué pub país parecía hace 40 años.

Visited for lunch. Car park adequate, very different inside to the outside! Very much an "old pub" style. Blackboard of food, and list of snacks gave lots of choice. The food arrived in good time, hot and tasty, a good sized portion.

Quizás tuvimos mala suerte, pero cuando visitamos el molino, la comida era nada como que afirmaba en otros comentarios en esta página. Las tiras de pollo cajún parecía que habían comprado en el centro congelador local y frito. La única cosa que rescató el arranque en todo era la ensalada, que era fresco, con buena variedad. El 'Caribbean cerdo consistía en piezas de carne hervidos flotando en un líquido acuoso, gris. La cosa extraña era, el t cnico de sabor era hinojo. Yo hubiera esperado un plato caribeño ser picante! Absolutamente repugnante. El salteado de patatas eran más patatas fritas gruesas que obviamente ha mantenido el calentamiento por un largo, largo tiempo. El acompañamiento de verduras - que no hacía nada para complementar la era cocinado y parecía comprimido, como si otros platos habían sido apiladas en la parte superior.

Fuimos a visitar a unos amigos que han ido a en su nueva casa en el mercado de Weston y fuimos al pub para el almuerzo. Nos habían dicho que no era muy sofisticado, pero la comida buena y abundante que entramos con abrir las mentes.

El Mill Inn es un poco de un paso atrás en el tiempo a un 70 / 80's Pub, reflejado en la decoración interior y la comida sólo pedir en el bar. Habiendo dicho eso, la comida es casera, abundante y buena relación calidad-precio. Comimos pan de ajo para empezar (para mantener con el tema 70) seguido de una cazuela, salmón y curry tailandés de muy buena carne, seguido de postres. El personal y clientes habituales eran todos amables y volvería de nuevo.

Hemos estado aquí para el almuerzo varias veces. Todo es casero y realmente delicioso!! Normalmente me la bourginon stroganoff o divino! Y mi marido normalmente tiene el pastel de pescado magnífico! Normalmente una persona nunca desierto, normalmente no puedo contenerme! Extremadamente razonable, nos encanta este lugar :-)

Salto en el tiempo Pub - probablemente las mejor - la comida es muy buena y de precio razonable para arrancar, la cerveza está bien cuidado, con una buena selección, porque es independiente y un éxito como los años puedo atestiguar la pena .

The Mill turned out to be a little gem, Despite the grim exterior, once through the door we found a pub with friendly staff good food and lots of it, and extensive choices on menu. We we will be going back soon.

This pub is amazing. It really is like stepping back in time when you walk in. It is a really traditional pub and I doubt if the decor has been changed for decades. But if you can ignore that you can be guaranteed of a good pint and traditional home cooked pub food. And excellent value too.

Excellent home cooked food nice atmosphere and friendly staff plenty of parking and country side views

Called in for a Thursday lunch. A 2 course meal was on offer at a very reasonable price. Food was excellent, home made & service very good. Would certainly return next time we are in area.

We all had a lovely meal, the food was very good and the service was excellent, we were made most welcome, it was a comfortable, homely environment, and we would definitely return.

Our B&B Host Paul booked us a meal on steak night.We were made very welcome by the staff and locals.The ostrich steak was superb.Highly recommended

Each time we go back we wonder why we do not go more often. Helpful and friendly staff, very reasonably priced, home cooked, food and very good beer. Impossible to fault.

Lovely range of cooked meals to suit any budget or taste. Nice country warm pub with local food served. Well worth a stop!

Revisited today for a birthday lunch with our best friends and following a superb meal and service last visit. Certainly not disappointed. My choice as birthday boy was Game Pie and it was "out of this world", the others in the party had either Pork Crumble or Beef Cobbler, again top marks to the chef for superb meals that were plentiful and very tasty and accompanied by local vegetables. Have not tasted better food anywhere and this establishment comes very highly recommended. Sue made sure we enjoyed our experience and I even had 'Happy Birthday' sung to me by the staff with a candle on my icecream. Again many thanks for a smashing meal The Mill Inn.

Enjoyable evening with lovely food, a great open fire, and a cozy atmosphere. A free house with a fine selection of beers. Who could ask for more.

Visited today with friends for the first time and now certainly not the last time. Typical cosy village pub, roaring log fire and very friendly staff, Sue was brilliant. The menu was varied and suited all tastes, and their Thursday special of 2 courses for less than £6 was amazing. I had steak and kidney pie (all home-made with local sourced ingredients) with vegetables and I can honestly say it was the best I have ever tasted. The portion was so large that I had to change my second course selection from treacle tart to ice-cream! The local beer was excellent and complimented the food, so in all, a superb lunch with good friends and in a real British pub. Certainly a Pub that the owners can be proud of. Finally my thanks to Vicky for cooking a delicious meal.

Busy,lively pub as is usual on our frequent 35 mile round trip to the Mill Inn. 5 real ales on pump including 2 Old Chimneys,supplemented by Leslies brilliant home cooked food. This time ,the Fish Pie with sauteed potatoes,--where else can you get them? Surely the best quality and best value for money pub in the county. All put together and served by friendly and efficient staff who all know what they are doing,even though the lovely Sue had a night off.

Live in the area and have always driven pass but have never gone in. So we gave it a go.Very friendly welcome and the bar area is very cosy with a nice real fire.Made our choice on menu and went through to dinning area. This area did not have any heating in it and I'm glad I had warm cloths on. I had ordered salmon on wild rice and mushrooms, I thought this would be a good healthy options, no, everything was covered in cooking oil and that's what all I could taste. The fish was over cooked as well. My husband had steak and ale pie with chips and he said it was ok.I would say to anyone it is a nice country pub with a warm welcome but I think the food could be a bit hit and miss, would go back but only for a drink. I should also say the food prices are very reasonable

On several occasions we have held family birthdays or get together's at the Mill Inn,.They offer a buffet lunch of gigantic proportions, all home made and every dish is delicious. The cost yesterday for a buffet lunch for 15 people was only the cost of a meal for two in London. We were given the whole restaurant and use of the room for over three hours. Tea and coffee was served after lunch and they even provided candles for our cake! Lesley heads up a friendly team who were only to anxious to provide every assistance. Thank you for such a wonderful venue and lunch, it made for a very special day

This pub is outstanding as the delicious food is all home cooked and served with a smile. Nothing is too much trouble. We have taken other restauranteurs there for a meal and they have been astounded at the standard of fayre and service given for such a small local public house.

Food was very good , extensive menu and very good prices, food was very tasty and was really very good value for money, Staff very friendly too.

We were 14 for lunch and the pub supplied a varied and interesting menu on a chalk board. All the meals arrived quickly and were delicious, served by a lovely friendly waitress. The meals were generous portions and I can recommend this pub as a good place to eat.

We have often passed this on our way home. It is a friendly pub, very good value and good size portions. Worth a visit.

The food here is like old fashioned home cooked food which is very tasty and good, the prices are very cheap too.

I waited a year to arrange my holiday in Stanton near by I was not expecting such good service although my friend said it would be. He has been calling in most days, for a long time. The food is so good I put on 5lbs in 2 weeks.

Nothing to dislike. This is a friendly rural pub where one always receives a welcome from those sitting at the bar. Extensive daily menu, all home cooked and the desserts are a dream

A friendly welcome from the local clientele and the landlady, not so many of these old pubs left. I popped in for an evening meal and the service was great. I was told the restaurant was not open until 7pm but they took my order 10 minutes early. By 10 past my meal was on the table, the food was exactly as described and tasted lovely

This is first time my wife & myself have been here for a meal,i can say this is the best meal we have ever had in a restaurant.The lady behind the bar was very friendly & the service was top notch.If you haven't been here i suggest you do as you won't get a better meal anywhere.Great value & the food is freshly cooked to order & all fresh.Will be going back very soon,the portions are very big so make sure you are hungry.Would like to say to the staff thank you very much you are all great...

On entering,no one said hello....the staff just gave us a blank look! My draught cider was sour,but I didn't complain...there was a lovely open fire to sit by. Our Sunday lunch was average but the roast beef was tough( the knives were blunt too) My daughter & I chose the homemade treacle tart with custard for dessert,we couldn't eat it! There was loads of coconut & brown lumps in it? We didn't make a big fuss,the miserable woman behind the bar said the tart was over done in the microwave & didn't charge us. We left without an apology,no goodbye or thank you!! ( I am a retired licensee/chef & I was frankly appalled)....

We often frequent the Mill at the end of the week, but we decided to avail ourselves of the steak night. The 16oz Rump that I had was excellent and the "Surf and Turf" also looked good. To add to this the ale was excellent being West Berkshire Brewery Dr Hexter's Healer. Great evening had by all.

We went to this pub on a fri night and were on the last available table so pre-booking is recommended. The menu was mouth-watering and varied with extensive specials on offer.Be warned of the large starters which can fill you up. They were delicious though so worth having if you've got a big appetite. The desserts are in a class of their own, pecan pie to die for.The staff were welcoming and genuinely happy. The young lady who served us was exceptionally friendly. A highly recommended eatery.

The Mill Inn was the location for a Funeral Lunch. The staff & management were both helpful and friendly. The Food & Drinks were to a very high standard and I'd have no hesitation in recommending this establishment for other functions.

Comprehensive menus, friendly service and great value home made food. Worth a visit just for the desserts which never disappoint.

Don't be deceived by the outside appearance. The food, the welcome and the prices are all excellent. There is game pie on the menu this week. We will be there again today!

I went with a friend for lunch during the week. We had something from the OAP's special board (choice of 3 starters, main courses and puddings) and I had the breaded plaice, chips and peas followed by mincemeat tart and cream. The plaice was perfect, the chips were home made and the pudding was like something my grandmother would make and with fresh whipped cream. Good home cooked food - no frozen or pre cooked stuff. Generous portions. 2 courses for £5.70 and I've got another 20 years before I become an OAP but still could have the OAP's special! Highly recommend.

We took some family members here for meal. The menu was good with plenty to choose from. The quality of the food was really very good with plentiful portions . Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were also able to recommend some dishes to us. The price for six of us was under eighty pounds including a bottle of wine. Excellent value would not hesitate to return or recommend .

What a lovely find ! Good home cooked food at very reasonable prices and friendly staff too. Prices around £7 for a main course, we both had braised beef with red wine. It was delicious. Puddings, even my hubby had one .Bread and butter for him, lime cheesecake for me :) I was stuck for choice. Total bill , just over £26! We will be back !

An Angel touched my Liver and Bacon in he kitchen last night and then moved on to my treacle tart before sending to me. My wife enjoyed her salmon and Pecan Pie. The music was fantastic. Beer always good . all staff friendly and helpful. Sue even offered to by me a drink on my Birthday!We are really very lucky to have such a gem

We stopped here for lunch. OAP specials day which we were invited to take advantage despite eldest in our group being under 50. Food was straightforward pub fayre but really great quality. Serving staff really helpful and couldn't do enough for us.

A great place stocking local ales and very good pub food both in quality and quantity and most importantly service with a smile. Nice atmosphere and excellent value for money.

Its the sort of place your grandapa would adore, with lots of old British Legionites supping at the bar. Fabulous doorstep sani's. Very well pricedGreat local beer.Just an honest down to earth efficient localpub.Have never had a main meal...but have heard they are good, generous and basic !

A real , old style , country gem of a pub , serving good value , home cooked plates of wholesome food, which fill you up! Freehouse with wonderful landlady Large chains could do well to visit and try to emulate !!( but would fail!)Range of local real ales, and friendly ambience . Monthly Folk Nights Don't tell too many people ..........................

Alcohol, friendly service, well-cooked and delicious food, where can you fault a pub which fits so well as the classic stereotypical pub. Everything you'd expect and everything you'd want. Marvellous.

A little off the beaten track, the Mill Inn is essentially a local freehouse pub that has for many years delivered excellent reasonably priced food. Beer is excellent to, serving beer from Chimneys Brewery that is just around the corner in Market Weston.Sunday lunches are very popular would advise booking.

Having now visited The Mill Inn on three occassions with four or five others on each occassion I can confirm that the welcome is friendly, the food is of a consistently good pub standard and portions are generous.It doesn't seem to matter whether you choose from the standard menu or the changing variety of home cooked specials on the blackboard by the bar the quality remains the same. Thats not to say that the food would tick the right boxes if you were expecting sophisticated restaurant fare.The Mill Inn gives good value food, served in a friendly atmosphere and supported by excellant ales and the option of a selection of wines. When I read about the traditional British pub in tourist literature, I would be proud to point any overseas visitor in the direction of The Mill Inn
