Mill in Eastbourne - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food was great but disorganised clearing tables

Food is average. Ok. Chips could be more crispy. Burgers are good value

Charlie was great. Very friendly and helpful. Always smiling and helpful. Unfortunately we didn't have a reservation on a Wednesday night and had 5 of us waiting for a meal. We were told a table should clear in about 30 mins. We waited over 3 hours for a table. Many tables were available but apparently 5 of us were too many for them to serve/seat due to "health and safety reasons". We eventually had to pull 2 tables at the bar in order to be able to be served. We had family over from South Africa and we wanted to show them a good night and Unfortunately the service from staff (besides Charlie) was very unwelcoming. Myself and the rest of our party feel this pub/restaurant would be better managed by Charlie as he bends over backwards for his customers, where as the rest of the staff couldn't give a damn about anything.

Table of 5 was to many. They refused to serve us.

Staying at the hotel across the road for a few nights. The team have been ever so helpful and the food fantastic. The pub can go from one extreme to another but unfortunately this is not in the teams control but they handled everyday perfectly. Will be back for sure

The food was very good value for money. The staff excelled themselves and were so helpful even though at times they were extremely busy but always polite and smiling faces.

My daughter and new son in law held their wedding reception here, what an amazing place, all the staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. On the day the venue was set up perfectly the way we asked,the atmosphere was amazing on the night and everyone had a great time. The food was delicious and served quickly and to everyone's needs. Although the whole staff did an excellent job, a special thank you to Curtis, Rhys and Charlie. Will definitely be visiting again one day.

My wife and I had a reception here after our wedding. They went above and beyond, catering to our requests setting up the space, and even bringing out the food in an orderly and timely manner. I want to particularly thank Curtis, who helped to manage and ensure the space was ready and all our decorations were laid out and aesthetic, Rhys, for laying out the cakes perfectly and helping to cook our food to perfection, and Charlie for being so friendly and helpful throughout the entire evening. I would highly recommend this place for events as well as just general dining in. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, you cannot help but wish to go back.

Came here with my family during our weekend away. Got to say was a bit disappointed. We had booked and were given a table behind a group of very loud, drunk and swearing adults. The staff never asked them to quiet down at all even after a woman near us complained. A lot of the food wasn’t available. The service was ok. Tables very sticky and lots of empty glasses and plates around. All in all quite rough. Won’t be going back again

Nice staff and good food at a reasonable price. Be careful if you have allergies as they did mess up my meal but they corrected it and gave me a refund with no hassle.

New waitress too.overpower, best waitress Lisa always pleasAnt and helpful,food today bit cold but usually very good,

Grubby carpet, dirty radiators and sticky tables No tomato's available for breakfast on two consecutive days

Great food, reasonable prices and friendly staff. Brilliant thank you.

Had a wake here the food supplied was excellent and hot, big portions too

Menu looked good! Rude staff and gross greasy food! Won’t be visiting again

This is one of our local restaurants to visit. It has improved since the last time we visited in the food and service. We were served by Ethan, and he was very helpful throughout our visit. I recommend that you check out the deals because it's worth the money. I had the big plate special chicken korma curry for £10 you get the curry and rice, with chips, naan bread, 3 onion bhajis, 2 poppadoms, mango chutney and mint dip! As well as a drink! Love a bargain!

Stop off on our way to Eastbourne. Saw sign at bar saying limited menu. Should have read no food. The guy seamed bemused that I wanted to order food.

Food and service.. no star Hotel custoner.. no booking table to eat... no space to eat.. I eat my diner next to bar on high table, disaine to drinking ... with was all dirty and sticky. .... needs negative star. Breakfast till 9am.. lunch??? Not wasting my time... dinner also till 9pm, finish work 9.30 and dance from bar ... back to town to eat But open to drinking...... sorry

Fantastic evening, the team were great from welcome to goodbye. Food was fast, tasty and great value, team handled an issue with a customer well.

The meal and service were great nice atmosphere. The adult meals great price

We have eaten here a few times and found that the meals are very appetising and also good value for money (Don't much care for the 'fake' onion rings tho'). The service is always friendly and efficient. Our waitress, Lil, is super professional and has attended to us very well. Thank you Mill for great times.

I have been to the Mill a lot over the last decade, I really enjoy the food and the staff are generally happy and helpful. The reason for the four stars is that my son and I enjoy a lovely pint of bitter but although there are numerous beer taps with loads of variety, there only ever seems to be one beer available at lunchtime. I'm sure there are logistical reasons for this but I would certainly buy more beer at lunchtime if more choice was available.

Had a breakfast for 4 this morning from the Premier Inn next door. Not much communication from the Premier Inn regards, staggering the bookings for Breakfast to The Mill to avoid long waits for cooked breakfast etc. The manager was very good and refunded our breakfast after a long wait, food was good and not really his fault due to staffing. Many thanks for your help!

1st time visiting here. Table service via the app is easy to use. Decent prices for drinks. Great deals on food (2 4 1 for Burgers on Friday's) & friendly staff.

Lovely staff, friendly atmosphere. The food was delivered quick but not the best I have had. Table was sticky, felt other tables and so were they

Four of us went here tonight for my mum's birthday dinner because we all like the food and the atmosphere here. Tonight we brought in some cupcakes and candles and the staff were kind enough to light the candles and bring out the cakes after our dinner despite being busy. The whole pub sang for my mum and it was a really lovely experience. My mum and I always choose the Mill because we've always enjoyed it here. The smothered steak sizzler is a really good choice. I've never had an issue with it, I really like it and I've had it multiple times. My mum loves it too and always gets it.

The chef is a microwave jockey at best..... it says SIZZLING PAL!!!! The only saving grace is the bar staff 😘

Great food & service. Lovely family meal & venue

Dirty glasses, dirty toilets, understaffed so the pub was full of unclean tables, food basic, staff friendly but clearly overworked, decor looked tired, poor choice of ales on pump. Nice little play area for kids!

The food was fantastic, the portions and value for money are 10/10. We did have to wait 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive with our food and the waitress was slightly off but apart from that I would recommend this place and will be returning.

Haven’t been here for a while but wanted to have a change so we visited the mill ; place was busy we had booked which is advisable; food came fairly quickly and was really nice ; manager Curtis very polite and worked really hard along with his team; may be at busy times have someone helping to serve at the bar to save people queuing; but was a really good visit ;

Marvellous Sunday lunch, large portion of roast beef, potatoes,veg, gravy, quick service, hot food, lovely staff, well done,very enjoyable,will come again,

Great place nice food good value lovely staff

Always great value meals, Very tasty food, Friendly staff, good variety and choice, with differing offers for each day . A lovely beer garden and play area for kids too.

Everything you could need Visit and see You won't he disappointed

Thanks for the great service Charlie

Fantastic affordable food and great prices. Staff lovely.

Didnt order food but looked good and worth the price ..drinks were good..staff were friendly

Great food but music was so loud by the bar when ordering that the server misheard my husband and my husband then misheard when he read the order back to him and ordered the wrong dish!

My wife and I love coming here. Staff are friendly, there’s a great variety of food, and tastes great. Went into today and had Cass bring over our orders and she went above and beyond.

First night staying at Premier Inn, went to the The Mill opposite for food and drinks. Great atmosphere, very attentive staff. Made me feel like a local even though it was my first time. Special mention to Cassie, who made sure we had plenty to drink, along with good conversation.

Treated my grandsons to lunch today , food was delicious, the service was quick and the staff very attentive , will definitely be back !

Nice Monday lunch after a long weekend. Restaurant very quiet but a really nice blonde girl saw the all the guests. A manager brought out our food quickly and it was the best we have had yet from here, he did mention the head chef cooked it, left happy and we will be

Claire served me at bar lovely manager and the food was great espically my burger I would deffo recommend the home run burger thanks for a great visit 😊

Arrived for dinner after a long drive and was given a warm welcome by the staff, namely Charlie, chloe, curtis and millie Food was very good value for money Will definitely be returning

I orded a home run burger it was so tasty and I upgraded to the salt peppers fries they was really good drinks was great I will deffo visit again! Staff are also lovely Claire and Charlie served me at the bar lovely staff members 😊

Me and my partner came for dinner, it was so busy and we thought we wouldn’t get a seat but Charlie the waiter was very attentive, friendly and helpful.

Always get a happy greeting when we go in the mill the landlord and staff are all very polite and never keep you waiting long the food is always hot and of good quality

Mothers day week end here was great, stayed at the hotel across from the pub visiting my mother nearby. Breakfast was nicely cooked fresh and the dinner was lovely. The roast my dad got was Huge and we only just about finished the burger with sweet chilli, we will pop in next time we are down this end of the country.

Ordered starters and sunday turkey roast dinner. Starter arrived and while we was eating that the main roast arrived. Felt very rushed and as we had a two person table waiter had trouble squeezing on our table. Terrible place to eat as the starter was warm food but the main roast was cold.

Really enjoyed our visit. Very friendly staff and delicious food.

Came for some breakfast on mother's day, was welcomed at the entrance by lil . Lil seated us to our table and said to order at the bar when ready. Was served straight away at the bar. Only had short wait for our food. Lil brought food out and was very nice to my children. Had a check back. Food was very nice and hot. Lil was working and was busy but still made sure everyone was ok, even made time to say good bye and to enjoy the rest of our day. Thank you lil

We came here for mother's day lunch, booked in last minute as everywhere was busy but I can't say how great full we were. The staff were fantastic, greeted by a gentleman who showed us to our seat, nice booth tucked away. We had two lovey roast and two wooden board meals, size was perfect, couldn't fit pudding unfortunately but we were asked by both the gentleman and a brown haired lady if everything was ok. Busy but service of point, they both asked us to do a review and we great fully accepted. We will be back when we are in the area.

The food was nice...but the service was better.the staff make you feel welcome and very polite.and the breakfast staff also.

Great service lil i guess she was the manager bent over backwards to make sure we had a great experience couldn’t fault her they could do with 5 more of her?? Brilliant

Stayed over for a work trip and ate at the Mill over a few evenings. Great food, great atmosphere, Donna made us feel very welcome as did the whole team. Thank you

Very friendly and helpful staff. (Served by Charlie and Curtis) sorted out a mixup with professionalism and efficiency and made us all feel very welcome. Would definitely return and recommend

Another amazing family dinner at the mill. The menu has lots of choice and is cooked to perfection. The staff go out of their way to assist and are very attentive. Would highly recommend. TV booths and colouring for the kids so we could have an adult chat whilst the kids were happy. Looking forward to the summer when the garden and play equipment will be in full use, well. done team Mill!

Great variety of pub food at brilliant prices. TV's at some of the tables for kids entertainment! Only downside is it is quite small so pre-book your table

Came in for breakfast with my family, ordered at the bar with a lovely blonde lady who was very nice and friendly, who told us to help ourselves to tea and coffee at the breakfast bar. As we were doing so a very angry lady with dark hair told us off for doing this despite it being a miscommunication between staff. Made the atmosphere very awkward. Must be the same lady as these other bad reviews. Apart from that the food is fine.

We had booked breakfast whilst staying at the Premier Inn - we have enjoyed many breakfasts in varying Premier venues however this was disappointing. We recognised the female staff member was working very hard seemingly single handed and our cooked breakfast was hot and tasty. However the tables and chairs in the venue are tired shabby and past their best. We were disappointed there was not a coffee machine as in many Premier Inn restaurants instead there was an urn of water for instant coffee or a cold filter coffee jug that was empty. Added to which the restaurant had run out of milk and we had to use sachets - so cereal was not possible. Although we were more than happy with our hotel stay we would not choose to eat in The Mill restaurant again.

Great atmosphere and amazing staff very accommodating. Large group and everyone's meal was fine and enjoyed . Extra people arrived then what we booked and staff were fantastic

Manager is fantastic.great people and great food .friendly polite staff .great clean pub would recommend to anyone ..

I’m a regular at this pub/restaurant and I can’t recommend it enough, the portion sizes are amazing, the staff are super friendly and the service is super quick and efficient. They have some amazing offers all week long, I do have to say my favourite nights are Thursday and Friday, freebie Thursday and buy 1 get 1 free Friday (burgers) these are just 2 of the great offers they have that give you excellent value for your money. Cant recommend enough! 10/10!!!

One of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had! The waitress and manager so rude. I ordered, on the app, a pudding. The app gave me the option of having vegan custard, fab! I can’t eat dairy. When it came it had dairy ice cream. I said to the waitress very politely that it wasn’t what I had ordered and she stared at me and said you should have told us you didn’t want ice cream. I tried to explain that the app gave me the option so I didn’t realise I’d needed too. She walked off before I finished my sentence. Stomped over to the manager behind the bar, pointed at me and was clearly complaining about me! The manager rolled her eyes. The waitress brought out another pudding that appeared to be correct, dumped it down in front of me and said next time order properly! I was absolutely shocked as was never anything other than polite to her! I didn’t bother to complain at the time as the manager was watching the whole exchange and said nothing! I did email their head office but haven’t heard anything back yet. I would absolutely never set foot in there ever again. You tell the customer service is bad just by reading some of their responses to bad reviews.

We were late for our booking but the staff were so very accommodating. Nice you g blonde girl and the manager greeted us and found us a table. It was very busy around 6 when we arrived but the staff seemed to be running around...

Unfortunately not a good experience...Possibly not helped by shortness of staff ...Tables were sticky and glasses didn't look clean one of ours had lipstick around the rim ..under cooked burger

booked a table for 9 for mums birthday but ended up being 10 of us, staff were very accommodating despite being understaffed! food was lovely and staff ever lovelier. really couldn’t fault it! could tell they were under pressure being understaffed but gave us a...

Went to the mill for something to eat the lady behind the counter Chloe was so nice and had a smile all the time I was dealing with her and the cook Dan makes some bloody delicious food just the way I asked him to...

We spent the week end here although it has been extremely busy at times (breakfast) we have come back for dinner as the service was undeniably perfect. We were looked after at every point, lovely to see.

Rude staff Unapologetic for issues Huff and puff at you No customer service skills Bad quality food Not replenishing the items Everyone outside saying it’s horrible Never ever going back

What a joke!! 🤮🤮🤮 100% diabolical!!!! Dirty self service area, no hot water, dirty cups. No fresh juice, very very limited continental breakfast. Bread, some dried up pancakes and pain au chocolate. No fresh fruit as advertised. Dirty plates with crumbs. Lazy rude blonde waitress just so obnoxious rude and too lazy to clear a table so my husband did this, she was asked for a plate and she replied "ok love won't be a minute" and muttered "I've only got 1 pair of hands" Our table was dirty, there were crusty chips from last night's service and the table was sticky. We asked for it to be cleaned, however that request was ignored! We ordered our cooked breakfast. When it arrived 30 mins later my plate was dirty and swimming in grease. 🤣🤣🤣 The egg looked plastic. Bacon cover in white scum! Hash brown hmmm cardboard and the sausage advertised as premium 🤣🤣🤣 nearly fell off my chair! Looked anemic and contained about 0.5% meat. My sisters breakfast was cold and did not contain what was asked for. It was taken back to reheated. I walked out completely discussed! My sister's breakfast did not see the light if day. My husband and brother in law ate some of their..... very brave that will be reappear later 💩🤮 We requested a refund as I didn't eat and the manager who was half decent looked as though she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her refunded all of our bills. Little tip for the manager get a new job love! Environmental health will be closing this place! Won't be returning!!!!

Stayed at premier inn, used the mill for breakfast and evening meal , lovely attentive staff delivering great service under stress full situations, MR Greene king red yellow green hours do not work as average once school holidays arrive ! Ur staff for well-being deserve...

The staff in this pub are so let down by Green King, they are amazing! This is the reason I have given it 3 stars. They are working really hard but there clearly is not enough of them to cope with the business. Long waiting...

Excellent service from attentive and friendly staff. Wednesday is Curry Day. Go for the Special ... Lovely! We are definitely coming back.

Food really good .nachos are the best. And the staff were amazing friendly and attentive.

We came today for lunch and was instantly greeted by lovely Millie who looked after us throughout. Its great value for money and food was great. We’ll definitely be back soon!

I have eaten here two weeks in a row as staying away working in Eastbourne. All I can say is the staff are excellent and very friendly. You can’t fault their enthusiasm to make sure your visit is fun and enjoyable. A big 5 stars...

Ordering on the app was really easy, food and drinks were brought out in good time, food was really good, and very reasonably priced, staff were friendly and helpful creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

Had our Christmas staff meal here the service was quick and efficient we were well looked after by Ebony and LiL food was amazing we will definitely be back

Excellent service even better we could use our Tesco Vouchers Very reasonable prices and very helpful staff Thank you all

Had a Xmas do here and we were well looked after. Food was great as was the service. The table was even decorated for us! Ebony, LiL, Charlie and Faith you were all great thank you.

came last week for a late christmas work do and everything was lovely, food was so nice and service was great ! would definitely love to come again :)

Was In there at the weekend was welcomed. By 2 friendly ladies that was working great place and very welcoming place was clean and tidy would def be visiting again when next in the area

Always busy, staff work hard to look after visitors.

Our Son staying with us for the weekend, we all went to the Mill for breakfast. Adjacent to a Premier Inn, it was pretty busy. Still, the poor woman, who appeared to be doing 'front of house' all on her own, soon directed us to...

Me, my brother Jensen and my mum went to the pub to have some lunch at the weekend. We both had a beef burger and chips and she had battered fish and chips which we enjoyed eating. It is a lovely place, it was awesome.

Surprisingly good and half the price of Hilliers garden centre!

Went for my grand daughter's 7th birthday the staff and food was excellent.

Lovely meal, sat quickly and served by the chirpy Donna. Definitely recommend as a good place to eat or pop in for a drink. Good management aswell

An amazing restaurant with really helpful and friendly staff. The food was superb and arrived very promptly. Overall an amazing experience and would highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for a fab place to eat

We had a lovley lunch this afternoon together at the mill, the staff more than pleasant even though they seemed particularly busy. We wouldn't normally write a review but to aid the manager who went out of his way for another guest who simpley assumed...

- Staff were great, friendly, welcoming, went out of their way so you enjoy your meal -Outside play area was great, range of ages, fully maintained. Members of my party found the flowers under the decking (presumably were someone was killed) morbid and difficult to avoid when people are playing football -Food was awful! Ordered Sunday Roast and clear the Chef could not cook! Cauliflower rock hard, mash was instant (which is fine but it tasted of powder), carrots overcooked, vegetables were all frozen but I did enjoy my Yorkshire pudding! -No sauces apart from Bread Sauce available

Staying at the premier Inn, unfortunately the mill closed for meals (due to repair)but staff helpful pointed us in the direction of somewhere local for dinner came back for a night cap.

We booked a table on Friday, the special epic £5, they had run out of fish and chips, so we ordered burgers because it was bogof on Fridays they said the till took 2 burger meals as buy one get one free off cheapest, but we ordered one cheese burger and one vegan, we had to work out it was cheaper to do 2 separate orders with no help from the staff.

Still good food and good drinks. Lovely atmosphere.

Visited just before Christmas, on a Friday, mid afternoon. The place was busy and quite noisy (mainly children), however we were served quickly, and the food arrived promptly. Excellent prices, and couldn't fault the food quality. 👌

It is some years now since visiting last and it was certainly not up to it's old standard it is still a good price but let down by the shortage of staff.
