The Mill Dam in Rotherham

Popped in for the first time with my mum ordered a hot drink it was made reallt nice with a side biscuit.Served fast and great atmosphere and very clean and decorated amazing for halloween so many spooky decorations. I will go back to try the food one day.

Great food, served by Liam, great service!

Friendly pub with good food choices on the menu.

Great food and large portions!! Can highly recommend 👌

Not been for a while as last time I came the food and service was poor but what a change. The young man that served us was funny and attentive, food was absolutely gorgeous (both had spare ribs) with lovely home made chips which makes all the difference to a meal. Will definitely be returning

One of my favourite pubs, nice sports room for if you just want a few drinks and the footie but the food for a pub is awsome 🤩

We had a really nice meal and drinks here. It was a Saturday and Rotherham United game was on all the screens but no noise or agro. The lad that served us could not do enough to help. Very attentive. I had steak pie with homemade chips and veg plus as much gravy as I wanted. Fantastic. There was 4 adults and one child. Would definitely go hear again. I think reasonably priced.

Great food,fabulous service 👏 👌

Never again... Not sure where the 'security' are hired from (probably part time traffic wardens), but they seem to be obsessed with people wearing hats!? The beer was terrible, the music was terrible and the atmosphere was intimidating.

Had a lovely meal , lots to choose from and good atmosphere.

The food is great but expensive however Dawn is a real let down to this place she picks and chooses who she serves and her attitude is disgraceful she needs to be put on a people skills Course and learn some customer service skills. Jack, Julian and Naomi are great

Delicious food freshly cooked, Julian our waiter was lovely.

Visited with friends 10th august. Very nice place. The young man who served us was excellent. Very attentive, polite and made sure we we understood the menu. . Top notch.

burgers are briliant sandwiches are amazing kebabs not worth a fiver 15 quid for 4 bits of chicken n 3 bits of chorizo n 12 chips takes the piss

Food was not the best. Big portions

Fantastic meal highly recommended

We’ve been here a few times now, really enjoy the food from the main menu, never had a bad experience We have tried the carvery more recently, it was nice but I think we went a little too late, 4pm. Next time we said we’d try to go around 1/2pm when food is fresher and not kept warm for as long but this is part and parcel of the carvery service Service is always great and staff have always been very polite and welcoming We will be returning

Lots of space inside. The meals are nice and filling. There's plenty of outdoor seating. Can get very full during peak times.

Absolute stih hole . All up them selves thinking best pub in Greasbrough. Not by a long shot . Avoid at all costs . Rude staff and ping ping meals

Food was greasy and a lot of our group left food

Excellent food lovely staff pleasant surroundings highly recommended

We met for a family meal recently, as there were a few of us we were asked to pay a deposit which is totally understandable and pre order our food. It was a Sunday and the pub was very busy, obviously the carvery is very popular. We couldn’t fault the food, well my elderly mum did complain hers was cold but she does that wherever we go. Service was a little slow but given how busy it was that couldn’t be helped. Our waiter did look after us very well and did ask if we were ok for drinks everytime he past our table. It’s a great place, staff are fabulous and there’s a large outdoor decking area to enjoy the better weather. They also rearranged furniture so my mum who’s in a wheelchair could sit comfortably at the table. We will definitely be back and would recommend to friends

Fabulous food, really enjoyed our lunch.

Just had a carvery at Mill Dam, which was excellent. The meat was cooked perfectly, and nice selection of vegetables. Would recommend.

Beautiful food, well priced and good atmosphere. Served by a young lad who gave fantastic customer service. Ordered the kids' meal, and there was a sizable portion for them. Had the philli cheese steak sandwich, it tasted lovely! I even asked for no peppers, and they left them out to my request 😊 Will definitely come back next time we're back in the area.

Not a very good service and problems inkitchen chef mainly very poor sorry for posting been a few times but it contineuse wont be going again

One of the best pubs in the area. Great out door space

Booked a table online for 3.30 today. We were seen to our table and handed menus. We didn’t fancy a carvery so ordered off the menu. We were told it’s a 30 minute wait. We ordered our food and were told one of the items was unavailable so ordered something different. 40 minutes in I asked the waitress if she could check on our food. We were told it was the next one out they are cooking it from fresh. After an hour I asked again and she said it coming out now. 1 hour and 10 minutes we walked out. Avoid!!!!

Jac service was absolutely amazing, great young man and really respectful, he made our night !!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️If you haven’t been then you must GO wowza, Got to be one of the best pubs I have been in a while. Everyone was talking to everyone like we knew them, it’s a very clean environment and the toilets was spotless, the staff was all amazing 🤩 definitely keep them wish my staff would have been pleasant when I run my club. 😜😂 You made us feel welcome, it was so layed back so I would like to thank your staff for a brilliant visit, We didn’t eat this time but will be back to as the food looked amazing and homemade chips wowza, the mixed grills look beautiful, I will definitely be coming to try one this week. Thank you to you all and I’m going to start coming every Friday . I also did get permission to put his photo on here, top guy you are. See you Friday, maybe in week. Thank you. 🤩 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯

I booked a table to go for a meal for my mums birthday. The website was very Easy to use website to secure our booking outside of pub trading hours. The service was amazing and staff were so friendly especially Naomi who made us feel so welcome. Everyone we spoke to was polite and attentive. Food was absolutely amazing and portion sizes were beyond what we expected, very generous! Thank you! X

Had a meal tonight for my Birthday for 14 people and it was fantastic thanks. Would highly recommend

We came to the Mill Dam on the 29th April. We had a table for 13. The manager informed us that they were having work on the kitchen so it was a select menu. This wasn't a problem at all. We all had the carvery and every plate was finished. The food was absolutely delicious and everything was so fresh. Staff very helpful and friendly. Looking forward for another visit.

Went for a carvery yesterday and could not fault one thing. The food was amazing ( especially the Yorkshire puddings) Staff really friendly and helpful. We had a young waiter looking after our table and he was brilliant. We was a table of 12 and all of us enjoyed our meal.

Fantastic pub ,food is immaculate always feel welcome .

5 ladies went for lunch and we all said the meal was not has good as last time we will not be returning, the beef Philly cheese was very poor no Philly cheese this time just a cheap cheddar, chill beef was tasteless then the cheese on top was the cheap cheddar couldn’t eat it, we ordered coleslaw we were give a very small pot for £3.50 when I complained I was told sorry you were given the wrong pot, the chicken pieces were over cooked. When the staff member came to ask about our meals we said it’s no has good as last time the staff member said sorry it’s a new chef, well sorry to say we will not be coming again.

Visited evening of 23 April with friends for a bit of Tea. The place has been renovated since last time I was in and I believe has a new chef. Food was amazing had the mixed grill which was cooked to perfection. A great plateful of good quality tasty meat. My wife ordered a chicken and chorizo Kebab and again this was huge and tasty. Apple and rhubarb crumble for dessert a massive portion and again delicious Young lad who was waiting on tables very friendly and attentive. Thanks will return

Menager Ian here is a mistake - a very arrogant man

Booked for 16 of us today with nit being our wedding anniversary plus our daughters 16th . the brisket came out like a bowl of soup burnt and tasted bbq . It says on menu comes with mash seasonal vegetables on no 3/4 of the bowl was in gravy runny loads of peas some mash and the brisket shredded up not 10oz of it that's for sure . Fish and chips needs the menu saying chips , fries ,wedges or something different today the chips if you call them that whete long and fat wedges inappropriate to what the menu said. The lady who's just come in a week ago was fab she catered for our needs and went above and beyond. Myself and the family have been 2/3 times before this been brilliant but the lack of food quality the staff who seemed useless apart fromntje Manager was excellent sorted everything for us went above and beyond for us thank you very much. But on a negative experience we'll live

I ordered the 10oz rump steak meal. The steak was cooked correctly (medium rare) but it was riddled with gristle and was unchewable. The chips would have been great except they were covered in green bits that left a horrible after taste. I couldn't tell you what these bits were. The whole meal was covered in these green bits and also sea salt which was like crunching grit. I don't like salt so I think it should be left to be applied by the customer if needed especially when we know how bad it is for our health. Realised whilst just checking the menu it arrived without the peas so didn't look very appetising either . My husband ordered the largest burger meal and said the chicken was really dry. We both thought it was only worth 3 out of 5 so we won't be returning. The prices were expensive for meals we didn't enjoy (£15.95 and £16.95) Needless to say we won't be returning.

Waited an hour for a simple 4 cheese pizza just 4 a snack. Cancelled it cos wasn't waiting another hour.

Fantastic place. Food excellent. Drinks fabulous. Service superb. Niomi was very welcoming and made our experience even better. Highly recommend.

This pub has been turned into a lovely place to have a drink and consume some wonderful food. The owners have really pulled out all the stops to make it an exceptional venue. Decor has recently been changed nice mood and t v's all round. Staff are friendly and helpful nothing too much trouble well done.

We’ve being visiting the Mill dam a few times over last couple of years food was always good, we had a bad experience there pre Christmas where staff were a bit rude over our booking , decided to go there tonight midweek early April .First the good points the two lads who were serving were most welcoming very polite and took us to our table the beer was also very nice ,but I feel very strongly about the price I paid for a meat feast pizza that was on the small side and hardly had any meat on just chicken and a small amount of chorizo it tasted fine but not worth anywhere near £14,50 I’ve had far better and paid less in local Italian restaurants ,sadly at those prices I won’t be going again

Loved the food staff and clientele, will be back 😋

Great pub with nice atmosphere and food is good but too pricey for pub food,barr staff nice apart from a woman called Dawn who seems to pick and choose who she serves, I think if she doesn't like your face she ain't serving you she's very unprofessional

The Carvery Bingo on the 27 th March was very disappointing , the table service was a big mistake , the food served was cold and definitely not what was expected from a carvery , more was sent back to be warmed than stayed on the tables ( microwaved ) , I like to choose what I want to eat that’s why I pick carvery , I’m sorry but overall the food was not what we expect from you , very poor , the only plus side was the staff , especially a young lad named Jack ,

Delicious food, great friendly staff, great prices

A good family pub with a wide selection of food. I particularly recommend the pie, shortcrust pastry 👍

Great food and service yet again from the team at the Mill Dam. Good selection of drinks and nice place locally for a good meal.

The food we ordered was perfect and our waitress was very attentive as to when we needed anything Our 1st visit here after it was recommended by several friends and it won’t be our last Thank you

Tried this place for the first time and it'll definitely be my last. Booked for the day before mother's day on the Saturday for 3pm for 6 of us Wasn't very busy inside the pub just to paint the picture. We ordered drinks and then ordered our food The time it took for food to actually get to our tables was just over 1 hour and 30 mins which was absolutely dreadful. The Manager couldn't give a toss to be honest and wasn't helpful in any way The only saving grace was a member of staff called Sarah who was trying her absolute best to help disgruntled customers.

Booked for Sunday lunch for 6, 2 had carvery and 4 had meals from main menu, no complaints from anyone about there meals the carvery was exceptionally tasty. The service was amazing and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Unfortunately live in Wales and just visiting relatives otherwise would definitely use regularly can't wait to visit our relatives again to make a return visit

Booked for 6 people for Sunday lunch 2 had carvery 4 had from the main menu food was delicious no body complained about there meal the carvery was especially tasty, quick service and extremely friendly staff would highly recommend unfortunately live in Wales otherwise would definitely visit more often can't wait till we are back in area visiting relatives again.

Nearly 2 hours wait for food wasn't very nice when it came out the server Sarah was amazing tho

Was at funeral party. Buffet was excellent. Staff friendly.

We pre-booked a table for 5.30 on a Wednesday, there was only 3 other tables with customers awaiting food. After 45 mins despite being quiet the first table was finally served, we received our meals after 1 hour and 5 minutes! We ordered 3 mains hallumi skewers £14.95 (not hot) which didn't come with flatbread we ordered, a burnt pizza £13.95 (my son only ate half) and beef brisket which was described as accompanied with mash and veg. It came in a soup bowl with a small portion of mash a few peas (veg?) and gravy with a miserley amount of stringy meat £14.95!. All portions were tiny, very poor value and poor quality, it's difficult to find any real positives. Won't be going again

Been for a carvery to day with all my family it was a disaster we quede got our food had to wait 10 mins for gravy when it came out it was not warm and it was like water they took the craven back had to go to the shop for gravey granules so had to wait 15 mins half the family eat half there food rest off us had to wait for new food 20 mins not good they offered us some pudding we had 3 jam sponge with the smallest off custard I had a chocolate sundae which was 2 scuppers off ice cream with a bit off cream What the hell was going off in there today I felt like I wanted a full refund but just had enough with all my family been there hope Sam reads this

This is my local and I absolutely love this place. The food used to be great! However since the recent menu change, I doubt I'll be going back. The portions of the chips were shocking, I got 8 chips total with my meal, my partner got a bit more but it was still slim pickings. We had to order another portion to share between two of us. Also, the service was crap. I got ignored multiple times by staff members. I even had to ask for the bill 3 separate times and had waited 20 minutes before they eventually brought it over!

Came yesterday was really disappointing,I ordered slow cooked brisket,it was long stands ,was like trying to chew string ,at one point I nearly choked and had to pull it out of my mouth ,even my grandson left it and he usually will eat any meat Sorry but will not be going again

Terrible customer services. Do not book a table for a meal if you expect a meal, as when you arrive they then tell you they cannot accommodate. Useless and unpleasant members of staff. Will not even bother attempting to visit the pub again.

We came to celebrate my 30th birthday. My sister booked the booking over a month ago and only found out on the day that it was carvery only due to staffing issues which if we found out earlier we would of cancelled and booked somewhere else. The carvery was worse we've ever had. The beef you couldn't even cut into it, veg was rock hard. When we advised the staff she went to tell head chef and came back with a billion excuses and said it was the butchers where you got the meat from and also said it everything was cooked the night before.

Great evening meal. Went for Valentines evening. Very competitively priced and plentiful plates. The diversity of foods from all over the world is a great attraction.

We arrived at midday for lunch and the pub was pretty quiet. We had the choice of tables so sat near the window, the barman came and asked if we wanted to order at the table or bar. I told him I would go to the bar when we decided what we were having. I had a steak and Mrs G had chicken and leek pie which was massive and I think she managed about half of it. All in all a nice meal and great attentive staff.

We came for the Sunday carvery as a family and it was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was great and the staff were excellent, will be coming back.

Absolutely the best food in the area, staff are fantastic can't fault anything about this pub

I'm definitely going there again! I live 35 miles away but will be there once a month.

Amazing staff Excellent service

I visited this pub for an away game (Sunderland v Rotherham) and was really pleasantly surprised by both the welcome and the quality of food and beverages. Nice people ☺️

This place is such a gem, the food is so good and very plentiful, I had a mix grill and boy that was a mix grill and half. We have visited The Mill Dam and we have never been disappointed, good value excellent food and the staff are very friendly.

Very poor. Had fish and chips...fish overcooked dry and crispy in burnt batter. Chips cold and greasy. Not what we expected for £13.50 a portion. Wont be back.

Not good service at all bad management at to move tables book out but we were there first plenty tables else where it if your face fits there not good at all upset a lot of regulars

A breakfast treat! Really friendly and professional staff and service, delicious food, relaxed festive yet homely atmosphere. Good value for money. Second visit for food, highly recommended and will return soon!

What a great place! 2nd time I’ve been here and it’s not disappointed. Thank you for your great hospitality tonight from Kelly ! Keep it going 😊

Brisket on the tough side , not cooked long enough

I called in at The Mill Dam with my daughters after attending Graduation Ceremony ! There was a good choice on the menu ,there was quite a wait between ordering and receiving the food,we were told the reason was,'the food was freshly prepared and cooked to order 'when they arrived all the meals we chose were we'll presented and tasted great, The staff were friendly and attentive, nice relaxing atmosphere.

Had the Christmas Fayre! Choice of 3 starters, mains and puddings. Delicious food and the staff are amazing. 10 of us. We had a great time! Table beautifully decorated and room warm. Staff really friendly and nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend a visit! Thanks Liam !

Food was fine I guess, nothing amazing as the sign says 😂. The waiting staff were odd and brought food out in dribs and drabs with no feedback. Barstaff looked impatient and generally chatted amongst themselves. It's Rotherham but they're charging city prices

I can't honestly say this is probably one of the best spots in Rotherham. Along with the glorious food selection the vibe is buzzing and the staff do the most to accommodate customers. Deffo a most

A very good pub meal. The service and staff are superb with friendly attentive service making you feel very welcome. the portions are big - we had no space for a desert and the food good. lovely atmosphere on a friday evening recommended

Had a lovely meal my husband had carvery and I had pie it was enormous put managed to eat most of it the carvery was all cooked fresh with plenty of choice the staff were lovely will go again x

Got given a dirty glass, (lipstick on glass) when I asked for a new one, one of the staff members wasn't that bothered told me to wait she's busy, another staff member was fine though and sorted that. Food not that great, and atmosphere was terrible wouldn't go back. Trying to be a restaurant smart casual wear no hats sign on the door yet it's just a standard pub.

Got there at 4:30 and was told they couldnt seat us as they had reservations at 7?? Another came over and said they could seat us…okay? Ordered food everything alright, fetched food out and woman with glasses and short hair knocked a fork onto the floor and asked us “do you want another?” No I want to eat with it after its been on the floor? Hygiene????? Fetched food out and slow cooked beef brisket was absolutely shambolic, clearly compensating with chips and was unable to cut with a normal knife. Had to use a steak knife and even then it was just all dry on the inside, more like slabs of beef. I’m not a chef but I’m sure beef brisket is meant to fall apart? Pictures attached, left near enough the full plate

First time visit.We tried the Sunday carvery.Much better than we expected.Will definitely be going again

Great food,great service couldn't fault it at all.

In all amazing place to go eat and have a good time. The server was amazing and the food was fantanstic dont regret earing any of it would defenitly come again.

Great food and friendly service!

Been for the first time for Sunday Carvery, the Carvery was one of the best we have had in a long time will definitely be coming back. The pub is beautiful very welcoming and the staff could not do enough for you

Had the mill dam dirty burger, chicken burger was a little burnt but the meal as a whole was absolutely delicious beef patty was nice and moist. Burger sauce was amazing. Normally I’m not a fan of homemade chips but these are within a different league. Upon sitting down and pondering about what to order the prices came across on the high side for pub food but after ordering meals with the family we spend an absolute reasonable £44 for three meals and three drinks. Staff members really accommodating with small Children and interactive with them as well. This isn’t your normal boring pub grub, I’d class this as a more bistro quality food in a pub. Will absolutely visit again and would 100% recommend anyone to go visit.

It was that good for the value we will be going back again

Nice pub that has been refurbished. Food is very nice and good portions. Friendly staff. Nice drink.

First time here food was lovely 🍲👌🏻😋

Menu has changed recently and it's not as good.

Fantastic place and food I beautiful well presented. Staff are lovely and very helpful

This is by far one of the best venues in South Yorkshire by a clear mile

Food was really lovely, although full rack of ribs was more like half and all of our party complained about the few chips you got with each meal

Although I have given an average score for this pub that doesn’t reflect on the lovely staff who are friendly and welcoming. My score is based on the new menu being very boring. Some of us had the brisket which was very nice but swamped with gravy and not a vegetable in sight. The ham hock was the same. Meat, chips and gravy. It was very bland. Gravy jugs would be a better option rather than flooding the plate with it. I would just like to add we did enjoy what we had but a few tweaks would make it much better. We visited the Mill Dam a few months ago and the menu was much better.

I am so sorry I never gave you a glowing review all the times we came every week for a meal.(Mighty meaty mixed grill well done and my husband changed every week ). It was always fantastic. We came last Wednesday . They had no mussels so could not have prawns and mussels. I then had small plate. My husband had fish and chips. The trouble was the choice on the menu was very poor for our tastes. My daughter went with husband and birthday girl and his parents. We didn’t go because we knew the choices ! This was 3rd Oct 2023. Mother’s ham hock was very very fatty. Birthday girl pizza fantastic. Husband chicken leek pie fantastic. Daughters burger so so. Dad’s ribs good. But they all agreed about the choices, eg. Scampi. Sorry we will not be back which is a real disappointment.

Super delicious food 😋 a bit slow service, but it's forgettable because it's Saturday evening 😀 and we weren't booked in, that's a big plus that lady in charge managed to find a table for us 😀

It's a nice place, but when the chef and the staff don't know what gluten free (medical condition, not just a choice) means, it's not good. Asked if the meal could be gf without certain items on it (which is fine, I spend my life doing that) they said yes. The meal then arrived with one of those items on top. I could have eaten it, relying on that they knew this meal needed to be gf. But I questioned it, they sad oh no sorry, with that item it's not gf, then they bring the same meal back, just with said item removed, obviously not releasing it's still not gf, if its had a gluten item on top, unless it's prepared again. They said it wasn't their regular chef, but something so basic shouldn't have been so hard. When I finally got my food, it was actually OK. But won't be going there again.
