The Mill at Ulverston in South Lakeland

I've eaten quite a few times in the last couple of weeks. Great food on every occasion. Service great most of the time, however particularly great service from Jade. Lovely atmosphere. Child and dog friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you are visiting Ulverston.

A lovely pub and a very sociable bar maid working on her own which is understandable given its a week day. Ordered a pint which was palatable but not enjoyable as it was at room temperature. Went for the steak and ale pie with mash and veg. Unfortunately the food was delivered with chips and not mash but the young lady quickly took the chips away to replace. The rest of the dish was anything but appetising. The pie was burnt and i couldnt cut the pastry with a knife and the veg seriously under cooked and as with the pie, I couldn't cut up the veg (I have a pic) the only right thing was the extra gravy I asked for. I have a speech restriction and didn't want to complain to the lovely young lady. After waiting a little while for my mash to arrive I decided to cut my losses and go try another eatery. I would definitely drop in again as it is a lovely pub. However, i would insist on a cold pint and avoid the food. John B.

Came for a few drinks earlier this week. Lovely waitress, dark blonde hair with glasses was very attentive. Felt well looked after. Thank you! Will come again

Surprisingly good funs and great atmosphere

Came in for a meal with my husband, a celebratory meal as we are newlyweds visiting the Lakes on a mini-moon, to the most shocking service we have experienced in a long while. We opted for a chicken burger and a steak and ale pie, both rather expensive for the portion size. The chicken burger was burnt, tasteless and unappetising on arrival. My husband however, to his horror, ended up finding a bone or sharp piece of plastic in the pie. When informing the waitress of this (a young girl with reddish brown hair and glasses) she just shrugged this off and went on her way. Absolutely appalling behaviour towards a customer!! When letting the waitress know of this, we did not expect any compensation or free food/beverages (which is what any normal business would have offered!), as a simple apology would have sufficed. Still in shock at the absolute lack of basic customer service, even greeting, thanking or saying goodbye to your customers were all missing from this visit. Absolutely do not recommend and will definitely not be returning.

Beautiful afternoon tea at the Mill, great food, nice atmosphere and service it's also good 👍

Not enough staff at the bar. One guy for twenty customers on a bank holiday Saturday night. Other staff member just stood about looking and acting despondent. Otherwise the Mill is a good place to eat and drink, a bit pricey but not the dearest in town. Good menu, and well stocked bar. Atmosphere is great.

The food was all excellent,there was five of us and all agreed it was very good.The girl serving us was under pressure, in a full restaurant but was helpful and kept everyone happy. Would go again

Great atmosphere with a fantastic choice of beers. Highly recommended....☆☆☆☆☆

I went to The Mill with a couple of friends for some food and drink, we were greeted by lovely staff and shown to our seats. I had the chicken and chorizo pie with mash and veg and it was outstanding. We were waited on by the manager, Jade, who was fantastic and ensured we were constantly seen to, 10/10 customer service and a 10/10 experience!

We love The Mill for any special occasion meal. The Sunday dinner is delicious and only £13.50, such a bargain. Have never been disappointed with the food, this is where we bring everyone that comes to visit us in Ulverston. Highly recommend the roast, fish and chips, steak and ale pie and the chicken & chorizo risotto. *Had to amend review. Went in on Mother’s Day to treat mum and we were all disappointed to see roast size and sides had shrunk considerably since last year. Disappointing.

The blonde waitress was was absolutely lovely food was experimental will be returning for sure.

Lovely food, staff, and the pub is very beautiful.

Had a lovely evening with friends in here on Friday. We had a bit of a wait for food, but that's fine because when it arrived, it was delicious 😋👌 Even stayed for the live music at 9 pm and that was good too. Staff friendly, good value for money and lovely atmosphere, would definitely recommend this establishment 👍

Came here for a pie whilst staying in the area and it was so good we came back the next day for another. Nice ale selection. Cosy atmosphere. Interesting history!! Service very lovely

Food is fantastic, great menu which is not over complicated or too many choices, but what you get is very tasty and well presented. Very good choice of beers. A very comfortable bar and restaurant for a nice meal and a few beers. The staff are very attentive and on the ball when it comes to looking after the customers they are an asset to the business, well done guys.

New staff, 20 minutes and 3x to order drinks, 1 hr before food showed up and 1 meal was the wrong order. Manger and owner were great and they made it right & took care of us! The duck (wrong meal was fantastic as was the rib of beef) YES I WOULD EAT HERE AGAIN, ABSOLUTELY!!! NEW STAFF just needs to adjust. Thank you Mill.

We didn't have food so can't comment, but lovely pub, great atmosphere and live music.

Absolutely superb. Will definitely be back

A shame the heaters have been removed from the outside area, prices are on the premium side, but facilities are budget. Also, the bar tender was very abrupt on my last visit. Probably caught him at a bad moment, but I expect a bit of friendliness from a good pub, especially when they charge top prices for drinks.

Had a lovely Valentine’s Day meal here, food was delicious, staff were friendly, great night all round

Absolutely brilliant. Gorgeous spaces, loved all the different areas, staff were superb, food was outstanding.

Tasty food, friendly service and a really interesting building with the old watermill workings visible

Been here 2 nights for food, had a burger one night and a pie another night. Both were excellent and the selection of drinks is second to none. Highly recommend

Spot on food. The pies are amazing! Great find!

Soup portion was tasty but small. Room was cold. Wood fire burning, but no-one put more fuel on as it died down.

Nice friendly pub we had to sit in the snug as we had a dog with us all good

First time visiting here for food. It took a little while to come but it was very busy. The selection of drinks offered here is one of the best. Plenty of options and types. My chips were slightly undercooked but I'll assume that's a one off. Table service is quick due to the use of electronic callers. We will definitely visit again.

Lovely place, warm being by the log burner and staff welcoming and friendly. Great food too 👍🏼

Nice food, but a wait time of an hour for a single course felt a bit much, even on New Year's Day. One of the waiting staff verged on being rude. Would go back for the food, but would be wary of the service.

Very nice place. Food was delicious. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Decent grub... Great atmosphere

We come here boxing day for the family meal always good value service and staff can't fault them always helpful and cherryfull

High quality pub food, a large drinks selection and a roaring fire. What more could you ask for?

Nice pub unique love the seating here.

Great atmosphere watching local artist. A little busy so service was slow. Great pud.

Dark wood in a dark bar area detracted from a basically pleasant meal. Wouldn't rush back.

Just nipped in for a couple of drinks when we were in Ulverston for the Victorian fair and Christmas lights turn on. Very busy with a nice atmosphere. The outside terrace looked like a great seating area. Didn't try the food unfortunately as we didn't have time. It looked lovely though.

Fabulous reasonably priced food with great service.

Wasn't welcoming or friendly, we wanted a cocktail but the bartender couldn't be bothered making us one, when we asked if they were serving cocktails she just shrugged her shoulders and said I dunno. We just got 2 different drinks, had those and walked out. Very disappointed, never going back.

Got there at a good time, 5pm so we weren't too late out with the young un. Great food, really good. Felt a bit rushed by one of the staff (possibly a manager?), we weren't exactly dawdling.

Amazing building and equally amazing selection of ales. Food menu looks interesting but didn't eat here.

Overall a reasonable experience. Staff were a bit abrupt, could be more friendly. Meals were quite tasty though a little expensive. We had the Chicken & Salmon. Very poor choice of post dinner coffees. No Liqueur coffees available, only Americano, bit disappointing for a restaurant. Service was good, probably a bit rushed as kitchen closed at 7pm, quite early for a Sunday for a town centre location.

Fantastic Night. Away for a few days with family and found The Mill through a quick search. What a find. Superb food and awesome service. Highly recommended 👌

Very good food. Good customer service.

I was told that the food was good so booked a table. My food was cold when it arrived and did not have all the ingredients it should have. So I sent it back. No explanation was given.

Great pub with cosy interior, food generously portioned and quality at an above average standard for pub grub. I enjoyed a cheese and potato pie (vegetarian) which had a rustic, homemade feel to it - perfect for a autumn/winters day. Dogs welcome.

Called in on the Saturday afternoon of the lantern festival and lots of reserved tables but the manager said as soon as one is free we could have it in no time at all he had one ready for the 4 of us ordered the drinks and food at the bar a great range of real ales, draught beers,wines and spirits. really helpful bar staff (dave I think he was called) took the order and checked everything thoroughly. the food came within about 20 minutes and looked fantastic 3 of us had pies (steak ,chicken and ham) and the other had a tomahawk gammon all arrived with chips and roasted vegetables. I cut in to my steak pie to find it packed with meat and some wonderful silver skin onions the pastry was absolutely delicious as well so light and tasty. the gammon looked great but I think I made the right choice the manager came over to check on us after meals arrived to make sure all was well. we did look at the deserts when ordering our mains but we were too full to have anything this time all in all. It was a great visit and next time we are in Ulverston we look forward to a return visit

Just called in for a couple of drinks, lovely old pub with a great ambiance. Plenty of choice of real ale and friendly service. Great place to have a meal with a separate dining area or in the var area. Recommended!

A fabulous meal .... excellent service...dog friendly too ..will definitely be back when next in the area.

Had a very nice steak & ale pie. Nice and tasty. I'll go there again when I'm in the area.

Love this pub and the food. It has a lovely feel as soon as you walk in. The food quality here is excellent, the menu is quite small but the food is amazing. I have not enjoyed a meal so much in a long time

Good pub and ambience - noisy Saturday night but in a good way

This place is brilliant with a great atmosphere . Great food and beers. The staff are very nice and helpful . Will definitely be back there.

I came in with my Daughter for food and a couple of drinks, the staff are friendly and the food very good.

Lovely pub in the centre of Ulverston. The staff were very friendly and the food was absolutely delicious!

Very nice pub with great atmosphere and great selection of beers . Sat outside as weather was hot and sunny and me and my wife enjoyed the lovely refreshing drink . Highly recommended

Although the food was passable, the service was awful. Upon arrival, I was told I couldn't have our table as the ipad had crashed. No apology, no alternative - just told to wait. When taken to our table, our waitress was so miserable, I asked if she had a bad day. She said no, everything was fine. This was far from fine. She was outright rude. And its the first time, after having received our food,that no one returned to check everything eas alright. Not worth the money to be scowled at and frowned upon.

My partner took my two girls for a treat. Portions were awful. I wish I had been there to complain. Food was okay but please see photo. £9.75 for the seared prawn starter....5 prawns and a pile of chutney. No breads etc. Safe to say my daughter was left hungry. A starter anywhere else would always be sufficient

We have had mostly good experiences of the Mill with occasional faults, but our most recent visit was really excellent: service just right, ingredients good, food well presented, nicely selected wine. Eating upstairs in the restaurant area for the first time helped, I think. We will be back soon, I'm sure.

3 of us visited here late morning with a dog who enjoyed lying in front of the log burner. There was a good choice of beers and a knowledgeable friendly barman (the owner, I think!) There was a nice ambience which made it easy to relax here for a couple of hours trying different beers. Lots of room and tables to eat at indoors and out. More importantly for us was that it is dog friendly.

We were in on the 15th of March. Lovely bubbly boy working behind the bar. Food was absolutely unreal. Some of the best food I’ve tasted in the Lake District by far!!

We had a late lunch during the week, with 4 different meals chosen. All very pleased with what we got. Fairly quiet, nice fire, good service

Fantastic service and delicious food

Had a thoroughly enjoyable Sunday lunch here. Beef was cooked very well with little to no fat on the cut, Yorkshire pudding and gravy was great too. Roast potatoes left a little to be desired as they were a bit dry.We did have to ask for the wine menu twice before receiving it but I feel this is because they only had a few members of staff on working across 3 floors.

We visited the Mill for a valentines day meal whilst on holiday. The restaurant/pub itself is lovely and very cosy. The staff was very friendly and the food was incredible. I ordered the pie of the day and it was hands down the greatest pie I’ve ever had. The steak was so soft. Highly recommend.

J´y suis allé un dimanche midi. Les plats proposés sont bons et d´un prix raisonnable. L´accueil est sympathique.

Stopped over in ulverston for somthing to eat and came across the mill cosy an inviting atmosphere food is to die for sunday dinner was the best ive had in a while and the yorkshire puddings were very fresh definetly wort stopping here

Excellent service and large Sunday dinner with good quality beef. Nice and warm with real fires. Also good selection of beers.

A tad expensive for the area, but worth it. Staff are so friendly and there is a very warm atmosphere.

We seen this place, when we visited the Christmas dickensian festival and thought it looks lovely from outside..so on visiting again in Jan...headed for lunch !On entering we were welcomed at the bar by a friendly bearded long haired young man who advised extra seating for food through back. We ordered drinks and headed through , claiming a nice table tight infront of the open fire !We both opted for the burger meal...drinks and food were £37...Again a friendly young lady came to add to the fire and chatted to us ...When the food came..oh my word..so much. And beautiful presentation.. Chips crispy like double fried.. lovely home made coleslaw snd salad, burgers also very nice..overall a great meal, service and we will return .

Cannot fault our meal. Absolutely superb and we were a big group. We will be back. Highly recommended.

Nice atmosphere pleasant staff the food was excellent if we are ever in ulverston will definitely be back at the mill.

Couldn't move after meal. Lovely

Stunning building in the centre of the town. Had the steak pie which was delicious. Good service and attentive staff. There was a problem with my chips and they were changed within a minute.

Always a great selection of cask ales. We sat next to a roaring fire after a good walk. Didn't want to leave.

Real Ale, Real Food, Real Buzz.

Went for a Sunday roast, 2 courses for £16. Portion sizes are huge and the food was lovely and fresh. Finished with desserts to top off a nice visit to The Mill

We had a super time at The Mill. The staff are superb and we really enjoyed our late Sunday lunch. I can’t speak highly enough of the bar and restaurant staff. We will certainly visit again when we are in town.

A large group (20 plus) of our family had a meal here last week and it was fantastic. Service was excellent and the food just kept coming. Great atmosphere and very reasonable price . If we lived near Ulveston I would be in here every week .

great food with great service. lovely cosy atmosphere

Called in for a quick drink at the Fickensian Weekend so it was very busy. V good choice of beervand an incredible gin selection. Food looked good but did not partake, all booked up.

Fabulous food. Great for lunch. Lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

Lovely!! Such a nice restaurant, accomodating and amazing food and service. Lovely start to our honeymoon!

Good choice of real ales but a bit pricy. Generally a very nice place

We went to The Mill for my birthday treat on sunday the 14th November with my brother and my son as a treat off my brother,the pub is really nice place,great atmosphere and prices were good. The issue we had was with our food! We had the prawn cocktail starter which was just ok,the prawns were so small you could hardly taste them,then we had the sunday roast! The meat was tough,the roasties were hard and seemed hours old and it just didnt seem that fresh,the gravy was nice I will admit and the yorkie! For afters we had sticky toffee pudding and it was going down well until I nearly broke a tooth on a piece off rock hard date in my pudding! The waiting on staff were great,he was called kane and did a fab job of looking after us... In all I would give this 2.5 stars that's it

Very polite young waiter who apologised for a delay in meal arriving which was not a problem as we were not in a rush, food was fine would go again

The best restaurant in the area to eat, amazing food, especially the roasts such a cosy little place for a Sunday. Lovely staff too x

Good menu selection. Great service. Enjoyable!

Had a lovely meal here, easy to book online. Food was to a high standard, had a starter and main. Very reasonably priced. Service was efficient, friendly and with a smile. Something to be proud of. Thank you so much, I would recommend to anyone thinking of booking.

Very busy but found us a table Good service, good food.

Limited menu but amazing food, the fish and chips looked lovely and the steak with blue cheese sauce was unbelievable

Me and my other half, had the 3 courses for £20 each. The food was beautiful and turned up really fast for each course. All the staff were lovely and if you get the chance to sit in front of one of the fires, then please do!

We were shown to our table by a young lad who never spoke a single word to us, very strange.We sat in the restaurant, away from the noise of the pub section. It was a lovely setting and quiet too.The food was awesome. Duo of beef and the pistachio pork were simply Devine. The restaurant sells a selection of real ales and craft gins to wash it all down with.

Beautiful building, lovely atmosphere. We sat in the snug which was really nice. The food was amazing. So tasty and beautifully presented. Absolutely amazing.

Warm cosy welcoming environment

We have called into The Mill on two occasions , the first was disappointing as they claimed they hadnt recieved our booking and turned us away . That was pre - covid . Today we popped in just for a quick drink and sat at a table at 5.10 reserved for 6pm and whilst my husband was at the bar a young member of staff was sent out to say we had to move immediately. Clearly the manager did not think it important to value his customers by even giving a polite explanation. Very rude and wont ever be returning .

The mill was really welcoming , the staff were friendly and polite . We had cocktails which were amazing and made by Rebecca . I would definitely recommend a visit

Fantastic pub with great atmosphere and excellent staff.

Lovely meal. Really friendly and helpful team. Would definitely go again.
