Mill in Eastbourne

it's a Hungry Horse!, save room for your main course!, great food, great service, great staff if you've been to one you have been to them all.

Unfortunately when using out of season the restaurant facilities were closed prior to me arriving on site with last orders for food being 20:45. Breakfast however was plentiful and well presented with helpful staff a good selection. The English breakfast was cooked to order and cooked to your liking.

We went here for a Sunday dinner booked in advance ....my youngest wanted Mexican pasta on the menu we were told it was out of it so picked something else .... Sunday roast beef were sold out too they only get in 50 covers . This was so disappointing and had to order at the bar no table service unless ordered through the app man behind the bar had an attitude on him when I asked is there anything else unavailable... ended up having jerk chicken and rice ....food was reasonably priced and tasted good

Went there with a few friends for a nice evening out on a Sunday, originally tried to order sunday roasts however those and many other menu items were not available. When we eventually got our food after not being told how to order, it came stone cold, chicken wings were bare and we were asked to pay for sauce, burgers were disgusting, steak was not cooked to correct temperature and the drinks were watered down. After complaining we were offered a new corn on the cob, but were unable to get money off as we were asked to pay before eating. We could also hear other tables discussing how bad thier food was meaning this is probably a regular occurance

Absolutely loved it there, freshly cooked food.

Nice variety of gluten free food. Very busy and noisy the night we went. Great price for the quality of food.

Had a nice dinner, food was surprisingly well cooked and delicious and the portion was so big I had no space for pudding unfortunately!

Went for lunch mid week, and there was a steady stream of customers. The ladies working were helpful when using the app didn't show a meal we wanted to order. I would advise downloading the app prior to going if it is your first time. It will save you some time. Please note: you can just order at the bar as well. Found the food to be reasonably priced with plenty of variety and options for dietary requirements. Portions were a good size, and everything tasted good. Overall a good experience and meal

Many items on menu not available. When food came out it was cold and some inedible. Two of our party didn't even receive their meals and those that were delivered weren't eaten. Definately won't be returning

Very poor meals all cold ended up with not paying for the meals as it was very poor service over 1.5 hour wait for food hardly any people in the pub. Loads of items not available

Had a craving for some decent quality pub grub. A few of my customers in the local area suggested The Mill, and I’m glad that they did. Fantastic value for money, really nice staff with a friendly welcome. My wife is as fussy as they come and she could find no fault at all with anything there. Hopefully next time I’ll have room for pudding. Well worth the drive over from Hastings. And I will definitely be back. Thank you.

Food is OK, good menu,service is good but the soft furnishings a very stained and dirty. Almost afraid it will dirty my clothes when sitting on it. Shamefully neglected.

It was fabulous food and the staff were so kind as well and it was a good buffet as well .

Main course of fish and chips had a lot of oil on the plate which we let slide but then came pudding, we had hot chocolate fudge cake, this came out cold, I asked the server if this could be heated and he said that the cream had already been put on, I said it’s supposed to be hot chocolate fudge cake and this is cold to which he responded with a huff that it is supposed to be served luke warm! The server appeared unbothered, arrogant and rude. The whole experience was not even worth the cheaper prices of the food at the mill! I will not be going back

We went to breakfast with the family and it was just as good as usual. Lots of choices. Staff was really nice and accommodating.

Staff very friendly but the premises are freezing cold, third visit this year, was cold on the previous 2 occasions as well. Food not piping hot either, although tasty. But will not be returning until weather is much warmer. 95% of customers were sat in their coats.

Management refused to honour promotional offer on the guest table of £5 Epic Dishes. Charged full price. After raising point with staff offer leaflet still available on all the tables.

Always friendly staff, great value food and drinks a very welcoming pub. I haven't had a bad experience yet so very happy.

Great place to eat, eat here quite regularly and never had a problem, great value and plenty of choice, also have set deals on different days, the staff are nice and friendly, always quick service no matter how busy, plenty of parking and garden out the back for those hot summer days and a play park for the children

All round great visit. Good value plenty of offers to choose from. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere, very clean, fantastic friendly staff who couldn't have helped more with my disabled mum. Will definitely visit every time we visit Eastbourne, would even travel down for 1 night just to have a meal here.

Great staff and service I had a great time there

I have to agree with Gavin Baxter (no relation) the manager has been very rude & nasty with my wife & i a few times. As for the cook they need to go on a cooking curse. It's a waste of time complaining even to the head office they contacted myself agreeing with me but nothing has been done to resolve the issue.

Manager was rather rude before we even took our seat, if your kitchen can't deal with bookings and walk ins then get new kitchen staff.The speed of service was terrible at the bar. For the price ,the food is fine. Bar staff are slow as a week in the jail.

Nice place to sit and eat for families, if you want peace, get a sandwich and go to the beach.

Attitude of the restaurant manger was terrible.came in for a birthday meal .of 12 ...the Xmas dinner was terrible not even real turkey .it was the bernard Matthews turkey roll ..the meal was cold .they couldn't even bring at the cake 🎂 for my friends birthday they refused to do it .never go back again

The table was dirty The food was cold and there was no atmosphere at all

This is our sixth visit over the last two months to find there wasn't any draught IPA again also no ice for drinks Tesco is just up the road to buy some also the food on this visit was very poor we did receive a courtesy check but everyone had finished There also seemed to be very few staff for a Sunday

An excellent Sunday roast lunch at the Mill with very fair pricing and helpful friendly service from all the staff. Thank you.

Had a great Breakfast with mates. Ordered off the menu and was informed that it would be cheaper to an all you could eat. Staff nice and down to earth, made me feel very welcome.

Another visit to this warm and friendly pub. As I stay at the premier inn opposite this is always very handy for me. A lovely welcome by the staff ordered a bar snack and a drink. Service was great food was very tasty. Thank you all I will return again next year

Good food good price great staff

Out of the way pub over a mile from the town centre, but well worth the effort to visit here. Good atmosphere about the place and while i did not eat here his time they have a varied menu. Good friendly service and not too pushy, just what the casual visitor requires

Very fast efficient service. Sarah was lovely and helpful.

My self and my wife were on a romantic night away and wanted something close to the hotel and the mill was right next door and we are so glad we ate there. We both had the mixed grill and it was perfect the service was fabulous the only slight negative was the restaurant was a bit chilly.

we came here on sunday, great price for the roast dinner and drink, pudding was scrumptious, had a lovely time, thank you

We ordered on the app and the drinks came within 2 minutes of ordering! The food arrived quickly and was piping hot and really tasty, the staff were helpful and the place was clean. We really like it here.

Always come here with my family and we are always happy with the service and food!

Fab staff ,service excellent, food good. Reasonably priced

Curtis was great and really helpful. Dinner was amazing and really friendly staff.

Excellent helpful service, dinner was great value

Curtis looked after us as a large group. Food mostly was good. Dinner excellent. Breakfast ok, but they are small and we were a large group. Very accommodating, welcoming and all staff extremely friendly. Thanks

1.Breakfast...unfortunately no cook in the house.... So only continental breakfast... Offer very manageable and not refilled...counter and dishes partly dirty...the waitress probably doesn't have time to take care of it...sitting in the corner with her cell phone...gross...leftover food from the night before on the windowsill... . I was here last time...

Brilliant stay for the week, we were here for most days because the value and staff.

Had a nice dinner. Really big portions and great value for money.

The chefs know i like my meal a certain way they always oblige xx

Table 21 ...... 22/10/2024 12:30 (ish) ordered sizzling steak & full monty ... full monty steak was wrapped in something strands ( like the hairs pulled from a plug hole ) tangled ! I brought to the attention and showed a member of staff and was offered a silly pudding in return 😡. I have used this to eat many times in the past and never had a issue until today. Would I recommend to family & friends ?... not after todays find. It was utter disgusting to say the least !

my husband, my self and my 3 young children went for dinner on Sunday the 20th of October and I we had a fantastic experience, the food was great, I had the roast with 2 meats and my husband a spicy burger and the kids had wraps and pasta, the food came quickly and was super hot and tasty! you could tell nothing bad been sitting long at all! the kids wraps came with so many bits and we really big portions. well worth the money! we will definitely be going back!

Lovely welcoming staff, normal pub food though, but brilliant service from the front of house team. Food is valued for money.

Part of a party that came for a birthday, I'm so happy we did, the food fantastic, the staff even better along with the prices. A lovely lady brought us out meals and checked if we were all ok, and a nice young chap brought us out puds, Ethan and Shara , we asked the manager for their name as everyone went above and beyond to make this a good day.

Went for dinner ordered a rare steak sent it back twice as steak came out medium. The chef came out and told me he knew how to cook a steak been doing it for 30 years was very abusive. The manager came and spoke to me told me company policy not too cook rare steak. This was nowhere to be seen on menus. Was offered replacement item or refund by then I had lost my appetite.

Nice Friday lunch with the family, the staff were polite, the man who served us was happy and polite and the young lady who checked on us was kind.

Claire and her staff looked after all 16 of us perfectly each big handling our large order and awkward requests with his. Great staff with welcoming banter, excellently priced food and portions and be tasty! Thankyou! Jack

Fantastic service from all the staff - all of them were welcoming and helped with anything you needed! Great atmosphere and food

In the past I have give a good reviews but yesterday was more than bad.Two hour wait for our main course lots of unuesfull information.One person in the kitchen not the customers fault this is down to bad management.Not sure we will go there again although our grandchildren like it.

Not a very good experience. Standard of food was disappointing, tasteless, and gave me an evening in the toilet. I wouldn't recommend this place.

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

Think it could do with updating, looks a bit tired .

We only popped in for a drink,busy at 2pm with people eating and nice buzzy atmosphere. Took a large table and my only criticism would be that food had not been cleaned from the floor after others had eaten there.

Perfect evening! And good prices!

I liked the way they answer the phone

Cannot fault food or staff, very friendly. The garden needs a big overhaul. All the wooden tables and benches were broken. Wood sticking out everywhere and sharp.

We come often . Food and staff and restaurant family friendly

We were staying in the Premier Inn next door for a few days, so booked in for evening meal and breakfast. We booked ahead knowing our first night was a Saturday, and glad we did. Table was all ready for us so we decided to order our food and drink on the Greene King app. This is a fantastic development, your menu is all ready to go telling you what is available and what isn't. Drinks and food ordered and within 5 minutes our drinks had arrived at our table and was soon followed by our mains ( highly recommend the Korean BBQ chicken burger!). There was a bit of a wait for dessert whilst the team were dealing with a disgruntled customer. We found the staff friendly and very helpful and a good ambience in the restaurant. Breakfast was the usual Premier Inn affair. Continental and cereals all set up, and cooked breakfast made to order so everything is fresh and hot. Only grumble would be the shortage of bread for toast. Overall we couldn't fault the service or the staff and wouldn't hesitate to come back again in the future. Great value for money!

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

Food was great but disorganised clearing tables

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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
