MillWorks in Cambridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food is Simply amazing, deducted one star for slow service because our food was REALLY late to be on our table. However, giving 4 stars for the service because tasty food made up for the delayed service. We had ordered Risotto, Fish and a Pie, with Pea soup and a bread as a side. EVERYTHING was utterly delicious. We opted to sit outside as luckily the sun was shining so having a tasty food while sitting next to water body soaking the sun - it was all perfect. Pricewise it was tad bit on an expensive side but yeah, quality of the food speaks for itself.

Great ales and largers, sea bass skin was chewy and not that flaky, great parings of flavours and textures otherwise and a sticky toffee pudding to die for

Wonderful place with delicious food. Worth a visit if you want to enjoy the tasty British food for lunch or dinner in Cambridge.

Came here for Sunday lunch. Perfectly fine service, if a little slow and unfriendly. Food was just OK: really nice roast beef, but underwhelming vegetables and everything a little under temperature. Puddings were nice.

Millworks is an amazing place, superb service and staff, wonderful 💯 food, including gluten free (low gluten) options, plus relaxing atmosphere. And the history of the place goes back around 5 centuries. Difficult to choose a restaurant in Cambridge as there are so many, but Millworks was a great success for our special family occasion.

Nicely refurbished, modern, good food. Have kept well. Very friendly staff.

Good atmosphere. But a long wait for food. Food was average at best.

Everything, from the warm welcome to the food, to the service and overall atmosphere was flawless. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Food was okay but please be very careful. When I went there I noticed after paying that the charges on the bill did not correspond to the menu and I was overcharged. When I challenged it they took ages to resolve it and then gave a refund that did not account for the service charge (which they subsequently rounded ‘down’ when I had to challenge that). Even if the overcharge was a simple error the way they managed it was disappointing.

Lovely old Victorian pub overlooking the river. Nice outdoor seating with a view

Wonderful food served by conscientious staff at a fair cost.

Tasty food, friendly staff, cosy atmosphere. Always love the Millworks, one of my favourite Cambscuisine restaurants.

My wife and I had lunch here today. For the main course we both took the traditional Sunday Roast. It was very good and tasty. My wife has a celiac disease but it wasn’t a problem: they had gluten free options for celiacs! The restaurant has a beautiful view to the pond and river. Kindly and helpful staff was the cherry on the cake. Great experience and we’ll visit again!

Lunch of hamburgers. The food was excellent. Courteous and attentive service. Excellent atmosphere.

Great food but very slow service. Was lunch time but not crazy busy.

Very nice atmosphere sat outside by the water. Food was great and service was bang on. Will be returning again.

Such a view along with fabulous food! This restaurant has history, ambiance, and great service. Highly recommend.

The food is delicious and the restaurant is comfortable and beautifully designed with a mill inside We ordered seafood feast, pie of the day, mac and cheese

A restaurant where dogs are accepted but not black women. my friend and I came for lunch, she was wearing a top deemed too revealing by the waitress. My friend was asked to cover herself, or we’d ‘have to leave’. It was a strange antagonism - rudely delivered. We were generally well-dressed, and had been polite. It was humiliating for my friend. We couldn’t make any sense of it. We both came to the same conclusion - that there is only one conclusion for such treatment…. p.s. the waitress involved was a middle-aged brunette and was working the outside on 03.08.24

Love this restaurant but the service was not up to scratch today. Don't get me wrong, the team are lovely, but balls were getting dropped and it wasn't that busy.

Family treat day, amazing steaks and a great sharing platter, all demolished. Just enough space for an expertly baked dark sticky toffee pud.

Had a great meal at the Millworks today. Brilliant staff. Really lovely people. Thank you

Great place for myself, my partner, and her Service Dog. Greated warmly, and food was so delicious, I kind of inhaled my food. The Pie and the Risotto were awesome. Millworks makes its own bread, so definitely give that a try. Thanks for having us.

Went there with my partner and her service dog, after a few hours of driving. This place is right next to a Punting area, so it's really beautiful. Homemade bread with oil and balsamic was delicious. I went for the Pie of the Day, which was Chicken, Leek and mushroom and my partner had the Vegetable Risotto. There's also "Rosti chips" which are layered potato's then deep fried, these were incredible. Staff were welcoming and accommodated our needs really well. Get to this place early and sit outside if you can, the interior where we sat was beautiful as well. Thanks for having us.

The service is very good. Homemade soup is my favorite. Medium steak is also delicious. Highly recommended.

Some of the best service I've ever experienced in Cambridge! Friendly, knowledgeable staff, all with excellent senses of humor - plus great food to boot. Perfect for a colleague dinner, and can't wait to return with family!

Average food, bad service and expensive. They included a donation to a charity in the final without asking us. Unbelievable. They staff was slow and not very friendly. The waitress got upset after my friend turned on a button to called the service and she asked him to switch it off. However, it was because it took them 20 minutes to bring 3 drinks. On top of that, they brought the wrong drinks. The food was nothing special. No much flavour in the hummus or the chicken shawarma. The flat bread looked good but tasted like cheap bread from a supermarket. I won't recommend this place.

Decent food , nice atmosphere and average service.

Cute place in a great location. Came on a nice summer's day for a meal outside, which was lovely right by the water with ample opportunities for people watching. Staff was friendly and funny. I had the Lamb Rump which was good but not great, some of the other items on the menu look like maybe they could be better!

Great vibe with touristy priced food and New York street style service. We won't be a tourist next time.

Good food and service but didn’t expect to pay a 12.5% service fee. Not sure if that’s only for patrons from the US? Nick our server deserved it so I didn’t question it.

The salad and meat were both fresh and tasted as expected.

Amazing inside and picturesque area outside, dine in or out, lovely staff, some parking around, delicious food

Terrible floppy, soggy squid - sold as Crispy buttermilk squid, yuk! Feedback but no response. Disappointed

Really great location, lovely food but central London prices. Blackadder playing over speakers in the toilet made for a more pleasant experience!

Average at most. Ok food but overpriced. Similar to an American restaurant in terms of price/quality ratio. We had to choose from a two courses menu ; many options were not available. I waited to get a specific dessert which we learned afterwards was not available and then still had to pay the full price. Long waiting time (to get water, etc) and personnel so-so friendly. Would avoid although the waterwheel is an interesting feature. Had to pay 12.5% charge on top.

Nice outdoor area and exceptional services!! Love their Sunday roast chicken

Great experience from excellent quality of ingredients in the food to staff friendliness, everything was phenomenal. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Cambridge

It is not the British way to add service charge to the bill. That is a nasty way of doing business here. If you copy that way from other countries it means you are not paying living wages to your employees. If you don't, it only means you want rip people off by not showing the customer the final price. Stop doing this, please. Bad.

Great vibe, food and drinks! Nick, the chap who looked after us, was so lovely

Very good food and atmosphere. Attentive service. Highly recommended!

Wonderful summer dinner, nice atmosphere and service. Thank you.

Had a long wait for food, but, well worth it, food was excellent, pity it rained as outside is lovely to sit near the river

I've seen bad service and good service but never experienced a true racist restaurant experience. It's not just one person who was rude to us. Multiple people who interacted with us treated us like second class citizens and there was nothing wrong on our end except for being brown. They sat us in a dark corner and didn't look at us for an hour and served an hour later ignoring our requests. We asked them to remove the service charge and add double that amount to the charity charge to which they gave us one final scoff. Food was as good as any restaurant. Their front office staff is clearly unhinged. I wouldn't have posted this if it was just subtle racism that we see everyday. This was in our face and sad for Cambridge overall.

Food took 30 minutes and was cold when it arrived. When we asked the waiter, he said "It's a Saturday", before eventually saying that food should not be cold...I won't be eating there again.

A lovely local pub with a beautiful outside seating area looking over the river. Good food and fast service. The site was once where the mill was located...you can still admire the mill wheel inside

The restaurant is situated by a river and close to Lammas Land Playground. It offers a spacious setting with child-friendly facilities and serves modern British cuisine. We arrived around noon on a Saturday without a reservation, yet the staff promptly arranged a table for us. I highly recommend the slow-cooked beef short rib. The meat is incredibly tender and juicy, with the fat and tendon melting in your mouth. Pouring the gravy over the mash and beef makes for one of the most delicious dishes I've had in the UK. My partner ordered the pie of the day, which was freshly made. The mac and cheese side dish was generous in portion, easily enough for our three-year-old child. The restaurant features a working watermill, which was a delightful attraction for the children. The staff were exceptionally friendly as well. I would definitely visit again if I find myself in Cambridge. We paid £66 for a family of three. ---

The spiced grilled corn looked and tasted as if it had been grilled several days earlier. And not a jot of spice, not even salt and pepper

Nice view on the tables outside and excellent service. The waiter was very friendly and he served me coffee even before the opening time! (I didn't realise they weren't open yet) A very nice welcome to Cambridge. Thank you!!!

Very average food - roast was a little disappointing… P.S definitely not 5 starts as per owners reply :)

Waited for the food for exactly an hour but still didn’t came. Asked us to leave instead. Extremely poor attitude with the waitress and GM which didn’t even apologise for the long wait. Highly not recommend unless you have plenty of time waiting

Had such a lovely dinner at Millworks, food was delicious, service was beyond amazing! Really recommend the spring vegetable risotto.

Went to grab an ice cream before punting. The ice cream was declious. But the place seems under staffed, therefore it took a while to get it. But worth the wait

I booked for my friends 30th and put this on the booking. When we arrived the staff were so friendly. They had put a birthday banner on the table. We had a table right next to the Mill. We had cocktails, which were reasonable and a variety of options. The food was delicious. A variety of options were on the menu. Options for Vegetarians. There is a button to call the staff. Service was quick. Staff were so friendly, which added to the experience. We enjoyed our meals and had a great time, thank you.

Disappointing experience. When we arrived they had no table for us even though we had a booking. The staff were helpful and managed to get a table for us pretty quickly. However, the table was set up in the middle or 2 hen parties, not exactly what you want as a couple. The waiter was very attentive and the food came very quickly but the quality was poor and it felt rushed. We had steak as our main and the quality of the meat was poor. The chips weren't cooked properly. We were offered a coffee on the house after our meal but we left after our mains.

We had the best date night, Nora our waitress was absolutely amazing; her opinions and suggestions were so helpful and were very good. the wine we had was the best recommendation yet, we will be back for sure haven’t found a good date night spot until now.

I only had an ice-cream so it wouldn't be fair to make any judgement on the food here. The service was good and the place itself is kept to a high standard in appearance and cleanliness. I will definitely be back to eat here in the future.

Highly recommend, staff superb, food excellent

This beautiful location is located on the edge of the center. Excellent food and very friendly staff.

Very good restaurant! Food was pricey, but really good value for money. The food had a premium taste, like the best quality produce was selected. The ice cream was amazing, really creamy, and the flavours were exciting. From start to finish, the service was... BRILLIANT!. We will DEFINITELY be going back, and we will DEFINITELY recommend this restaurant.

Amazing staff, food and place. Lovely location. 10/10

What an amazing place to have a meal. We had a great experience today, the staff was outstanding, kind, welcoming and caring! Food was amazing and Our toddler had a blast, the atmosphere was calm and the place is beautiful and clean. We will definitely be back. Thank you 😊

Excellent food in an excellent environment. Highly recommended.

Delicious food, friendly service, nice location, but quite pricey

We went for Sunday lunch. Not something we normally do. We had not booked, but we were at the door at 12, and we were seated at a table with a limited time of 90 minutes. This was because we had not booked. Yes the restaurant filled up while we were there. The service was excellent, the staff were very efficient and professional, always looking around to see if there was anyone needing attention. In so many restaurants this is not the case. We ate our three courses, in the time allocated. They were delicious. I had a lovely plate of deepfried octopus rings. A good quantity. The pork belly was tender, with ample vegetables. The puddings were lovely. The decor is very industrial, with lots of pipework. The operating mill wheel is the center piece of one restaurant.

We had the private dining area booked for our meal after the wedding. It was a small and intimate event and MillWorks went above and beyond to cater to all our requirements. They helped us decorate the place and even cancelled the food of a few people that had to cancel last minute. It was just perfect. A special thanks to Angel and his team. Highly recommend!!!!

First visit to restaurant during visit to Cambridge. Great choice and an even greater restaurant experience.

The food was lovely ,huge choice ,all the staff were friendly and helpful a brilliant place for a meal or just a drink , lovely inside with the water mill as a feature and beautiful views of the river definitely going back

We stopped in to this lovely restaurant mid afternoon for drinks. We were warmly greeted by three of the service people. There is real ambiance here with the history of the mill, the beautiful dining room and the passion for food and service of the employees. It was clean, organized, friendly, inviting and we cant wait to come back for a memorable dinner here soon. Thank you, MillWorks.

Had a coffee there, it was great, amazing scenery as well and inside is good too 😀

Excellent experience at MillWorks! I had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious Sunday roast, which was simply divine. The service provided by the waiter was exceptional, attentive, and friendly throughout the meal. The restaurant's atmosphere is warm and inviting, making the visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a quick and tasty meal."

An excellent restaurant with good lunch specials. They served us with care and we sat next to the awesome water wheel, which was a nice touch.

Firstly.. The setting of Millworks is superb. Overlooking the River Cam .. stunner. We came on Bank Holiday Monday so it was packed with tourists and locals alike. It’s fair to say that staffing wasn’t great and the servers were under the pump. However once we had managed to get ours attention she was perfectly charming and attentive thereafter. The menu to be fair was your usual pub grub minus fresh fish as they had not had a delivery. We chose fish sandwiches and pasta and a well cooked steak .. its was all fine without being great. I wouldn’t stop anyone from eating here .. it’s ok .. just ok ., For a similar menu but better quality I’d put Browns in front of here but if your closer to Millworks it will do a job for sure.

Great food, ultra-attentive service with lovely staff. Some slightly tipsy and loud tables near us was unfortunate but not the fault of the restaurant that was otherwise delightful.

Very disappointing. Service was dire. Drinks order sat on the bar so long the ice began to melt! We collected the drinks ourselves. Food took,I belive, more than 1 hour to arrive. The food was OK, nothing special. I would not recommend Millworks

Booked a table for 3pm for a special birthday and visitors from Oz..had to go and get our drinks from the bar (sitting on the counter) the ice had melted at 4pm... POOR SERVICE ALL ROUND WILL NOT GO AGAIN AND WILL DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND !

The place and the surroundings are very beautiful. The staff was friendly and attentive. We asked for two starters to share - duck bon bons, delicious, chicken wings, good- and then the mains: hamburgers, roast beef and a vegan pie. My children liked the hamburgers, but the other dishes came with vegetables and roast potatoes. We found the potatoes rather dry , difficult to cut and chew, as if they had been cooked hours befpre and then reheated. This was a pity, because the rest of the elements of the dishes were ok. The desserts - sticky toffee pudding and cheesecake- were delicious.

MillWork is an amazing place to have a cozy time enjoying delicious food and relaxing atmosphere. Service is careful and nice. Having dinner close to a "working" mill wheel is certainly an uncommon experience. The food is very nice, also suitable for kids and including vegetarian options. Highly recommended.

Great place! Super location. Lovely premises with the millwheel as an attraction. Delicious food and a very welcoming and attentive service. Is a good venue for a romantic dinner or family lunch. Booking advised - very busy on weekends.

Excellent food, the halloumi burger, mussels and sticky toffee pudding were great. Beautiful location, building, atmosphere and service. 5 stars.

I visited the restaurant, with my coworkers, mid-week for dinner. The place had a nice ambient, warm and pleasant. It is an old mill that has been converted to a modern restaurant. Being close to water, the view is beautiful even late in the evening/night, when it was dark, due to the beautiful lights surrounding the area. It is wheelchair accessible too. The staff were friendly and the food was also good. They offer a variety of meals and desserts and the menu also offers vegetarian dishes. The prices are reasonable. If you’re are planning to visit the restaurant during the summer time or at weekends making reservations is a must.

Lovely place with great service and amazing food. I highly recommend sticky toffee pudding

Nine of us headed to Millworks to celebrate an 18th birthday. The atmosphere, food and service leant themselves to a relaxed and fun afternoon. The staff were pleasant, the food was good, and the location is lovely. One small request - it would be possible for a diner not to know that they had to press the button on the wall to get service. Given the size of our group, it would have been great to have had a reminder.

Very average food for price. Roast beef was terrible. Very chewy and no flavour. Would of sent it back but it was a birthday and didn’t want to make a fuss. Also the waiter stunk and needs to be told to use deodorant. On a positive note the puddings Were lovely and the staff were attentive.

We visited yesterday for lunch time drinks, and loved the vibe. We booked a table for the evening and had a wonderful experience. The staff were friendly, enthusiastic and the restaurant had a fantastic atmosphere.

Visited with a large group of work colleagues - the food was good, but slow, servers weren’t very attentive, but not a huge problem. Probably a better experience with a 2-4 person table.

First time excellent service very friendly. Had set menu food was excellent would recommend lovely setting 5* will definetly fo again

The food is very nice and the staff are very helpful but for some reason they refuse to close the front door even though they have the heating on which makes the whole of the restaurant uncomfortably cold they say it is their policy not to have the door closed which is not in Keeping with most places policy of trying to save energy.

I love the ambience of this place, and the food is very good. Waiting staff are friendly and attentive. The acoustics are great - in a large, open, old building tables remain intimate. The food was delicious. My second visit over a year and I will aim to come back

5 updated to 5, if you pick the right meat/fish dishes. The stuffed bell peppers are lovely. I didn’t expect the pepper being pickled, as opposed to the more common grilled version, but it is really zingy and refreshing. Sour cream is a little overpowering on the other hand. Lam shank pot pie! Sheep flavor, love or hate it. Meat is super tender with beautiful tendon. Puff pastry comes in a healthy not-too-thick amount. The gravy is alright and can have some more complexity in flavoring and content other than the brown stock and carrots (although this is quite classical in Britain I guess). Mashed potato is lovely, especially the slightly dried bits on top. It’s not too heavy either and goes well with the pie. The cabbage offers a good veggie portion. — 4 Friendly service with nice grills. Tomahawk is beautiful, tender and flavorful, tasty without any sauces. Chips and onion rings are still soft. Crispy squid only have a few crispy spots, but there’s finally more squid than batter and it doesn’t seem oily, so pretty nice. Would prefer the mayo sauce to be on the side though— it’s quite overpowering. Homemade focaccia is more like normal white toast… and would definitely benefit from a toast to search warm and crispy before serving. Seasonal veggies look simple but is surprisingly seasoned with crispy mint. Quite oily though. — 3 Popped in for lunch with friend’s family. A new menu again, from Mediterranean to British this time. The steak mushroom ale pie is delicious. The filling is flavorful and the crust is crunchy and not too heavy. The whole sea bass is tender and fresh. The pork belly has crispy fatty parts and tender flavorful flesh. Fried chicken wings are also quite nice. The veggies, however, are mainly peas and beans… simply British. Food is still a little slow. -/- 2nd visit Crispy filo shell, warmly spiced chicken filling. The garlicky spicy hummus adds a kick, while the hoisin sauce gives a fun twist, reminding me of Peking duck wraps. The venison steak was cooked perfectly, beautiful and tender. Seasoning-wise, I am not a fan of peppercorn sauce/red wine gravy in general… the tastier, more flavorful chermoula only comes as a few drizzles on the cabbage. Hope the steak can actually get it too! The potato rosti is buttery and herby. So I stack them with the steak. The dessert display right at the entrance looks very attractive, to the extent of evil enticement ;) and I’ve been eyeing the ice creams since last summer. Guess I’ll get a scoop soon. Food came quite fast, but I waited for about an hour for my bill. Next time I’ll bring a reading lamp. My eyes hurt in the romantic flickering of candle flame. I left the restaurant literally minutes before it’s closure. (It’s also fun to eavesdrop scholars from my field of research, though I didn’t dare to turn around lest there are familiar faces.) — Ice cream update: Been thinking about these since last summer and finally give in. Nice selection of flavors from the local ice cream company. The espresso bean is less intense than what the name suggests— more like coffee toffee candy. Had a taste of the ginger root one out of curiosity. Very gingerly indeed. Will probably get this one next time :D — 1st visit Millworks punt was lovely, especially with those fried Halloumi sticks. The rocket leaves make me feel less guilty. The squash hummus is a little too salty and overpowering—more like a spiced dip than hummus or squash. My friend says the pulled pork was far too sweet… Maybe there’s too much ketchup.

I had a great dinner experience. The food was amazing. I would definitely go back to try the other dishes on the menu.

Very disappointed with the value for money compared with other partner locations the quality of food was in my opinion well below my expectations The cost was not the issue it’s value for what you pay for and to add 10% tax on top was an insult

I love millworks - good food, changing menus, nice atmosphere

Restaurant nicely restored on a old mill with exceptional food and great service. We had great experience with Nora. Would definitely return in future.

Food was absolutely delicious 5 stars 🌟 I ordered whole sea bass and it was the best I ever have 🥰 Huge compliment to chef 👏👏👏 I put 4 stars for the atmosphere is only because the seats are too hard and not enough comfortable (but maybe it’s just for me:)) apart of it the whole experience was great and i definitely comeback again. Highly recommended😊 Thank you. Dinner on 31/12/2023

Lovely meal, good service and a good selection of drinks

A forgettable CambsCuisine below-par experience: Millworks. Group Christmas dinner at Millworks. 14 people. Meals were pre-ordered from a fixed Christmas-menu some weeks prior. All meals delivered as ordered. The whole establishment was not full, but there were other Christmas diners. Perhaps half full. The ambiance nice within the establishment. Staff pleasant and helpful. Christmas crackers on hand to keep the mood festive. Regrettably the eating experience however was below par for what should've been better @£38 pp for 3 courses. The good: flavour, texture, temperature. Duck croquets with apricot. Carrot/ginger/coconut soup. Beatroot & parsnip terrine. Butternut squash & lentil wellington. Venison pie. Chocolate delice. Orange & baileys burnt cream (brullee). The below-par: cold, tough, dry, lower than expected quality, lacking in flavour: Prawn & Avocado & Crayfish cocktail. Sirloin steak & chips. Turkey ballotine. Sticky Toffee pudding. Christmas pudding & bread butter pudding. Group bookings are always difficult for all dishes to be served at the same time. It was however regrettably obvious that insufficient care was placed on the quality, flavour & temperature of some of the dishes served. It wasn't horrible. Just below par, inconsistent, forgettable. Will go back for a drink but will dine elsewhere in future.

Super friendly, great vibe and a lovely meal with a friend. Everything I needed 👍👍

Good quality food for a party of 40.

Lovely evening meal for my husband's birthday. Delicious food, (hot plates), and pleasant service. Nice atmosphere and a Blackadder episode being broadcast in the loos! This was our second visit and we will return.
