MillWorks in Cambridge

What a fantastic, unique place this is! Food was excellent, service was great, atmosphere amazing and location/venue was stunning. Definitely recommend coming here

We went to the Millworks for lunch and had a most enjoyable visit. The setting and ambiance are delightful, the food was delicious, the wine was very good and reasonably priced, and the service was excellent. We were very well looked after in a most friendly and courteous manner. Very many thanks. We will certainly be back and would thoroughly recommend the Millworks to anyone who is looking for something special.

Very average food and not friendly service. We were seated close to the entrance and the restaurant was noisy during that evening.

Came for a quick lunch on a busy Sunday and because we were struggling for time we went straight to mains and ordered Picanha steak and the Ribeye with sides. Lady who was serving us said that it wouldn’t be possible to get these cuts with Yorkshire puddings and veggies as the chef didn’t like to make changes, which was fair enough so we ordered some sides to go with it instead. The food came out really quickly, which was unexpected but greatly appreciated. The ribeye steak, which was done to medium rare, was tough and chewy and would definitely not recommend it. Overall, the atmosphere and service were very good, but food simply not to scratch. We have tried food here few times before but it has always left us a bit disappointed. Would recommend for drinks as the setting is very pretty.

A great place in Cambridge, near the river, picturesque and with good food

Nick who served us is not the only dish of the day and he was attentive, delightful, efficient and super handsome. What more could you want when out for a meal with your little sister.

The restaurant was busy. I definitely recommend you book. We arrived early, though our table was ready we elected to have a drink in the bar while we perused the menu. Sat next the water mill. Lovely sight. Food was good, as was the service.

Our first visit to The MillWorks was amazing! I had the liver parfait and the taste and texture were absolutely out of this world! My friend has the butternut squash soup and it was so silky and tasty. Our service was excellent and we even met the chef at our table! I would definitely come back to this restaurant!

The burger was nicely cooked but too thick if thats possible. And of course its a tidy penny. Somewhat made up for by the 10\10 onion rings

Lovely dining experience had here. The waiter was funny and quick-witted with attentiveness that was at the right measure. My seabass was cooked to perfection, and my husband chose the pork chop, again perfectly cooked with a tasty sauce. Definitely visit again!

A very warm welcome set us off to a good start. We had the working mill next to us in full view, which was a nice touch. Our waiter was friendly and very funny, a trait rare to find. We did have a bit of a wait but there was 5 of us and took a while to select our options. We were meeting up with my daughter and so this was fine with us. The fish of the day was a favourite of mine, Seabass which was a whole seabass and cooked perfectly. The accompanying sauce was divine . My husband had the black treacle pork chop and begrudgingly let me have a bit. Oh wow, I then had food envy. All in all, fantastic service, fantastic food and very aesthetic interior.. they even had my favourite tv show Blackadder playing over the speakers in the toilet! Going back when I can!

We had a great meal here, all staff were very attentive and welcoming. We had the lamb shank and the warm Harrissa sauce with mussels for mains and this was so yummy,scrumptious deliciousness. Salute to the chef 👩‍🍳 🙌 🙏 we came to Cambridge for a weekend break and this was the cherry 🍒 on the top. We both went home back to London very happy and satisfied. If your in Cambridge, this local restaurant is a must try 😋

lovely food and wine will go back x

Lovely place to come and eat, I had the duck bon bons and the lamb rump, tasty!

We booked ahead for a combo of Punting down the river and had a meal afterwards... Great day... The river tour was fantastic and we were blessed with the weather too after all the recent rain....The Restaurant was empty when we sat down to eat, so no atmosphere to speak of, but the customer service was spot on.... Nice place...

Nice modern restaurant with a touch of history. Nice food!

Went for a works outing at lunch time. The food, beer and service were excellent. The medium rare steak we really good.

Excellent food, excellent service. We always love to come here for family meals. The view is a bonus. Attentive and very kind staff.

We had the Sunday roast, beef was delicious but we were a little shocked with the lack of veg and gravy for the price - veg is the cheapest part of a roast, seems a strange thing to skimp on. Otherwise would have been 5 stars all round.

We sat outside at dinner time - there are no lights at all, we were eating in total darkness. The food was nice, but it took 1h20m to get to our table after ordering, it’s seriously a lot. Plus, waiters were generally rude and unbothered. Not a nice experience.

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.

Really good food and service, just be aware it gets noisy in the mill wheel area otherwise great

Went for the Steak, Rib sharing platter, but it wasn't on the menu. Went wrong time, I suppose; little disappointed. Chips were a little dry.

Great location, good food and friendly staff. Please do not automatically add a 12,5% service charge and a 1 £ donation to the bill. Please leave this to the customer.

Had a family meal here, we sat outside with a view and fantastic service, and the food was delicious. Inside there is a lovely working water wheel and super bar.

Had dinner here and was warmly welcomed by the staff. The service was exceptional, and I would definitely return when I’m in Cambridge. I enjoyed the glazing platter with the sirloin on the bone, and I highly recommend the pork cutlet.

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

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

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

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

Wonderful food served by conscientious staff at a fair cost.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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 😊

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

Excellent food in an excellent environment. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

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
