The Mill Inn in Eden

We had a lovely meal and enjoyed the place that much went back the next day. Good food nice people well worth giving it a try.

Went out for a meal and the food was delicious, staff so friendly and a great pint.

Had a good day out on the hill. Asked for a cappuccino, presented with a small glass with cappuccino in it. On measuring the fluid, we had paid £3.50 for half a cup/mug, not impressed. Its a walkers pub, trying to present this drink as if it was something special. The management need to be fair and get rid of those awful glasses.

Who could want for more?! A pub at the end of a hike with good food & cool ale.

Love this place. Highly recommend.

Lovely food and excellent service

Didn’t book a stay here but myself and my partner were in the Lakes for our 10 year anniversary. My partner found this place after looking around Google maps for a real, countryside, warm, welcoming atmosphere that does some amazing food! The pictures we came across were exactly what we was looking for so we decided to head there and conveniently it was only a short drive from where we were. The drive there, once off of the main road, takes you down a narrow country lane which is a lovely scenic drive in itself until you happen across the smallest village, Mungrisdale, where this inn is located. As we walked in, it was exactly what we were looking for. Local pub atmosphere, anyone welcome, dogs in the corner and wood burning fire place on providing the heat you can only describe as a warm hug you only get from your grandma when she’s wearing that knitted cardigan! We ordered our food and waited with the utmost anticipation and all for good reason. My partner ordered the breaded Brie wedges for starters and myself the chilli and garlic prawns. A favourite of mine. Both were cooked to absolute perfection and were the perfect opener to the rest of the evening. Needless to say they returned to the kitchen without a crumb left on the plates. I ordered a rump steak for myself and my partner the spinach and sweet potato pie. If held off of ordering steak for a while after a few bad ones but after seeing the image of this rump steak that we found online, I decided to give it a go. Ordered medium rare and it was cooked to absolute perfection! Juices flowing, more than enough sauce, chips with a little bit of a crunch and the perfect amount of seasoning. Hands down the best steak I have ever had, so much so, it made me a little emotional. I simply won’t order another steak as it will never compare to this one. My partner isn’t a pie lover but decided to give this one a go and the gamble paid off. Exquisitely cooked, a lovely creamy mash which still held its fluffiness at the same time and veg that just accompanied it perfectly. Unfortunately, we aren’t locals to the lakes but with absolute certainty, whenever we are back we will be eating from here again! They don’t advertise so you won’t see much on their socials so let me do that for you. Make sure you go, stay the night or two, but whatever you do, make sure you at least eat here. If you walk up Bowscale Tarn, it is the perfect place to visit when driving back, on the regional route 71, refuel before heading back on your way. You absolutely will not regret it!

This pub is set in a beautiful location and looks inviting. Inside is a very nice place to be, clean and would would suit couples or groups. Our dog was welcome. The menu was varied and would suit most people and the food was presented nicely and very tasty. All the staff were very pleasant and made us all very welcome. This is a place we will be coming back to and telling our friends and family about. (Note, no comment regarding the rooms as we didn't stay there)

The Loctions is fantastic and you can't ask for more the pub has a history and you feel apart of it Food was fantastic pie next level and a great side Will be back Thanks John

I travelled to The Mill Inn alone, and was my first solo travel. Had a very warming welcome, into such a cosy, hearty inn. Staff were polite and friendly. I stayed in one of the twin rooms, front facing, and the view was nice. Had a very nice sleep, with a comfy bed. Tea, coffee and hot chocolates in the room. With a selection of biscuits. Which was a nice touch. I woke up with the birds singing, which was lovely. My breakfast in the morning was a full English, one of the best I’ve had in a while. I went to the Aira Force waterfalls, high and low peak. Which were only 17 minutes drive from the inn. Plenty of walks on your doorstep, and many just short minutes drive. Penrith is 15 minutes down the road, where you can go shopping, sight seeing etc. But when arriving back to the inn, you’re in a quiet area, away from busy roads, which makes the experience even better. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and have booked again for June. Thank you again for a lovely time. Kayleigh.

First visit while on holiday. Very friendly staff & excellent food. Very nice atmosphere ice back ground music well worth a visit

We went to the pub for a drink at about 4 o’clock. We were served a full round of drinks which was quite expensive but were then told the pub was closed. We presumed that we would be able to finish our drinks as we had after all been served but we were then asked to leave, not very welcoming and definitely treated like we were an inconvenience.

A lovely end to our walk on a Spring day. We sat outside in the sun, but the bar looked cosy, clean and tidy. The menu looked good, but we'd already had picnic... Looking forward to a return visit for Sunday Lunch.

Great service from Mel and food was delicious - didn't stay in a room but bar was very nice.

In a lovely setting away from the hectic parts the Lakes, this country pub is a welcoming location for visitors. The staff are very friendly, the menu varied and the quality of the cooking flavourful and very enjoyable.

Had a lovely evening meal with my wife in a very friendly and comfortable pub. Looking forward to another visit in the summer.

Great place. Lovely food at night. Really good value and great quality. Cooked breakfast was spot on.

Good was amazing and staff were really kind and helping

We visited the mill for dinner the other night and I have to say it was fantastic ! Very friendly staff , amazing food , great selection of beers and spirits, and perfect service. 10/10 , We would highly recommend a visit . 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Called at the Mill on the off chance and had the most wonderful Sunday lunch. The staff are really friendly and good at their job. We had only been once before and just had a drink but the food is well worth the trip and we will be back very soon,beer is very good too . Jesus Jones.

I went to The Mill Inn for dinner with my son and our dog after a long day of rravelling and puttingvup a tent.. We were made to feel so welcome not only tending to our needs but also our pet dog with treats and fuss. The food was delightful, very tasty and beautifully cooked so much so we couldn't say no to a dessert too. Lovely, friendly staff

Great food, large portion sizes and friendly service. Couldn’t ask for more.

I reviewed the Mill Inn a year or so ago. It has now been refurbished and now combines a nice atmosphere/surroundings with excellent food and attentive staff. It is now truly that rare combination: a genuine pub with great food and well kept beers. 10/10.

Lovely traditional Sunday Roast Fresh ingredients and well presented Friendly staff excellent service Would recommend

Very fine dinner from a great variety of dishes.

Been looking to eat here for years, didn’t disappoint at all, absolutely perfect. The black pudding stack is absolutely tremendous and the rib eye to follow is unbelievable! Really didn’t need it, but finished off with a raspberry cheesecake, which again was perfect! A⭐️from the toon

A very charming and welcoming inn. And a great pint at the end of a long walk.

We used the restaurant and it was inviting and warm with a beautiful log fire. We ate lamb stew and it was superb!

Stayed locally for a short winter break and having tried a few local pubs, this one was by far the best for quality of food and value. Can't wait to to ruturn.

We had sunday lunch drinks.food, service and staff were lovely.would definitely be back.we were staying at the mill cottage near to here.

Great place! Cozy and friendly.

Beyond your usual 'pub food', by a country mile! Friendly hosts, comfortable, warm and welcoming.

Lovely food and craft ale. The service was exceptional as we were last minute and hadn’t booked. We including our border collie were made very welcome, we thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

The pub accommodated a group of ten on not much notice. Total food bill for 10 mains was 170 quid, and all 10 plates were cleaned. Food was excellent, and drinks were too. Guinness especially nice which is always a bonus. Service was great, couldn't recommend more.

Bed and breakfast at its best 😃🐶 What a beautiful, tranquil, dog friendly spot, a short distance from Penrith with log fires, a warm welcome with clean, cosy accommodation. We enjoyed bed and breakfast and a home cooked evening meal from a traditional pub food menu. The rump steak was delicious as was the Cumberland Sausage and mash with fresh veg and gravy. There is a pleasant outdoor space with a bbq area where i was pleasantly surprised to find the owners growing their own potatoes as well as fresh herbs. The owners were very welcoming and friendly. There’s plenty of outdoor seating at the front of the Mill Inn and a car park for around 10 cars. Just in front of the pub and ahead of the car park is a small wooden bridge, crossing a fast flowing river. We loved our stay and will definitely stay again.

An excellent restaurant with impeccable service and delicious food. The pub has a really cosy atmosphere and we felt so well looked after, even with an energetic toddler. We will definitely be back on our next visit to the lakes. Thanks so much!

A great find slightly off the A66 . Pleasant hosts, great ambience and incredible food . What’s not to like. Good old fashioned value for money is alive and well at the Mill Inn and we we’ll definitely return.

We had excellent service and food at lunchtime in very comfortable surroundings. Will definitely be returning when walking in that area.

First of all I would say that this pub is lovely and welcoming, the staff are really friendly. We have frequented this pub in the past and came for its famous pies. The food we had was ok, but I really feel was lacking in attention to detail. The pies appeared to be pie shells filled with a chosen filling, and then topped with a pasty "biscuit", not really a proper pie. The most disappointing aspect of the meal though was the vegetables, a very megar portion of carrots, peas and cauliflower, all unseasoned and very bland, like really really tiny portion. I don't think it would take much effort or money to improve this aspect. I think for a large group to serve the vegetables separately could work well, and make more flavoursome side dishes, ie cauliflower cheese, roasted vegetables. I feel the services was a little slow and inattentive, we ordered drinks at the bar during our meal as opposed to being offered. I don't know I don't want this review to put people off going here, as it is a nice pub and the staff seem lovely, I just want to put across that it lacks a little something that I think could be easily be improved.

We called in for a drink after a walk on Souther Fell. Staff very friendly and it looks a cosy pub. Will definitely go back to stay or for food.

11/10 experience! Came here because the other half messed up and brought us to the lakes a day early 🙈🤣 set up shop here for the night and the staff couldn't do enough for us! Absolute credit to the place! Thank you so much! Amazing food! Beautiful atmosphere! Would definitely come back!

Fantastic meal, friendly and polite staff. Great atmosphere.

Excellent Sunday roast. Great drinks selection. Staff are chatty and attentive. I would highly recommend. We will be back soon.

We stayed for one night and had our dinner here as well, which was delicious! Food was excellent and arrived quickly- couldn't fault the staff who were friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable and lovely big bed and a bath, perfect for after a day walking. Place has a lovely atmosphere and is located in such a lovely quiet area, ideally located for several walks which start directly behind the building. There are plenty of benches/tables outside to enjoy a drink in the sun Lovely breakfast options to set you up for the day! Will definitely stay again and recommend to others!

I was staying in the area due to working at a wedding around 30 minutes away. Really enjoyed my stay! Great value. Extremely friendly staff & great breakfast! Will definitely be back!

Just spent four nights at this lovely Inn…..great welcoming staff, gorgeous food, so dog friendly and in such a peaceful spot…red squirrel an extra plus!

Great food and really enjoyed the Cumbria golden ale 😋 Landlord is a lovely bloke really friendly and welcoming staff couldn't do enough for us. Didn't use the hotel just the pub and restaurant after a 9 miles 4 Wainwright walk. Well worth a visit

This pub was recommended by a friend, so glad it was as it was a lovely evening. Food was amazing can totally recommend the Steak and Ale pie and Hubby had Chicken pie, both of which were excellent. Well worth the drive. Staff made you feel so welcome and service was second to none. Great find !

Our family ate here twice and all of us (including picky eaters) enjoyed a variety of hearty food – no room for dessert! The fish was well cooked, i.e. not overdone, with crispy skin and nice sauce, and the pork belly tender and delicious.

We went for food as it was dog friendly and are so glad we did. The staff were really welcoming and the food was amazing! Would definitely recommend.

Booked for Thursday 4th July The food was delicious we had the sharing Camembert player followed by the duck for main. Highly recommend both courses.

Great food great service with a lovely selection of ales. Well worth a vist 👍🏻 We'll be back.

A Robinson's pub which for me says it all having been brought up in Stockport home of the Brewery. The staff were very friendly and the food and beer first class. A great find.

If you haven't visited this establishment yet, you don't know what you are missing. Took some friends last night for a evening meal. The choice of food on the menu and the special's made it hard to decide what to have. ( bob ) the waitress was in great sprint, and the banter was in great humour. Great food and good value for money, but don't take my word for it. Make a booking and enjoy the experience for yourselves. I will definitely be going back. Thanks for a great night

Popped in for a drink after dog walk, lovely pint of cider and glass of wine, my husband spotted a few people with nice looking homemade chips with their meals so asked for a bowl with our drinks, answer was "no" (even though it wasn't overly busy) What a shame we might of stayed for another drink and popped in for our tea one day this week but won't bother now! Thanks for your prompt reply, would of totally understood that explanation had it been given at the time

We had the best roast I think I have ever had,the Lamb just melted in your mouth and the staff were all friendly and helpful ,Will visit again if in the area . Would definitely recommend.

As soon as we arrived, we were greeted, seated and taken an order for a drink. Food was delicious, came out hot. Very filling food, definitely come back when in the area. Staff were lovely and always on hand, very quick service.

Stopped off here for a drink after a walk. Nice place, well kept and the staff were lovely.

Just a heads up. The Mill Inn is no longer with Jim Hodge, I believe. He opened a small factory in Penrith and I hear another close by. The family now run a fabulous pub, The Queens Head at Tirrel. Look it up...it's on the Internet. I had heard Jim has sadly died, but his daughter has carried on the business and as far as I'm aware, that still going strong! All power to their

We stayed 2 nights with several friends. Room 5 is quite basic with no wardrobe but the food was great although the waitress is rather severe. The young man in charge really made a difference, he was very welcoming, organised, attentive and efficient.

Another excellent stay, one of our favourite places and made special by the owners Geri & Steve. Always a welcome when you arrive with the whole downstairs having had a refurb recently which is excellent and makes the whole experience better than ever! Booking again for August with out pooch, looking forward to it.

Bar meal Leek & potato soup ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Black pudding stack ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gammon - never seen suck a thick piece lovely and tender delicious ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fish & chips absolutely delicious lovely light crispy batter, chunky chips and mushy peas ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just spent a lovely 2 nights here, along with my pooch. The Inn is simply lovely 😍. Warm n inviting. The room clean and cozy. Mine overlooked the front of the Inn. Stunning views to behold. Staff are so friendly, helpful and nothing is too much trouble whatsoever. It is in an absolute perfect place, Relaxing n tranquil. A perfect " pit stop " for walkers. Definitely will visit again soon. Thank you to all at the Mill Inn, myself and Bailey had a wonderful time

Love the location and the food is lush. Just a shame my daughter could not get a kids meal as she was TO OLD! and wasted half of her meal which was annoying but apart from that everything was awsome!

Went here on the advice of our fantastic Bed and Breakfast hoast at Lane Head Farm Country Guest House, and she was right fantastic place not well signed post or if it we apologise we missed them but food spot on . One of club sandwiches ever , wife’s pork belly beautifully cooked with delicious potatoes. This is a real great find , so clean felt like we had walked in as paint and decorating team left . Beautiful pub worth a visit definitely Romantic atmosphere · Free Wi-Fi · Great value · Great food · Local hangout · Everyone should try their amazing club sandwich and onion rings are literally best I be ever tasted .

Really enjoyed my meal here. The atmosphere was warm and lively. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The quality of the food was great. Sad that it was my last night in the lakes so can’t return sooner but will be sure to visit again next time I’m up there!

This place was excellent it looks like its had a revamp since i last visited. The pies are always a good choice delicious. Staff were helpful friendly and the place was busy. Will definitely be returning again soon.

Lovely country pub in a beautiful village. Beer is good, with decent Lakeland ales available . Food: Chips were good although we didn't have anything else to eat. Very homely pub with a fire. Great place after a day in the hills!

Mothers day meal for 4 of us. Opted for the sunday roast beef dinner. Copious amount of really tender beef, accompanied by red cabbage, carrots, parsnip, broccoli, mashed and roast potatoes, yorkshire pud, and lovely rich gravy. And a slice of stuffing ??

Refurbishment of this lovely pub is great we had lunch last year and thought is was great . Came back after the refurb . What a lovely job they have done , came down from the tarn in the snow and were let in half an hour early and had a lovely lunch and warmed by the fire 🔥 Staff great 👍 food brilliant We wish you all well

Went for an evening meal with my partner, the staff were lovely over the phone when we booked our table and just as friendly and welcoming in person. We both loved the food we had, we were particularly happy with our meals given the usual standard of pub food in the England and the Lake District. Would highly recommend!

We were given a warm welcome and a pot of tea on arrival which was lovely as it had been a very wet day! We were given the bedroom we had requested and before coming down to dinner there was loads of hot water for a soak in the bath. The meal was delicious, chosen from the surprisingly extensive menu. We sat by the woodburner which was so cosy. Lovely chats to locals who were also eating there. The downstairs refurbishment is perfect- opening up the dining room and main bar but still retaining the charm of the old building. Fully recommend a visit to The Mill Inn, & a wonderful place for walking straight out onto the mountains and there is a beautiful little church to explore too.

This was the second time I have been here recently, and the food and relaxed atmosphere was just as great as before. It's nice to have a consistently good local (ish) pub to go to .

Great place after windy walk 👍 Lovely place to have a post walk pint 🍺

Perfect spot for a post hike Pint! Many thanks to Julie and Joe for looking after us! Despite being rushed off your feet, the service was exceptional! We’ll certainly be back when we’re in your neck of the woods!

Great place very accommodating! Just finished a very wet hike up blencarthra and allowed us to dry all our gear off in front of the fire. Staff were friendly and food was fantastic, can’t wait to come back in the summer!

A lovely friendly welcome and great service. Good food and drink, with tasty fish dishes, and nice cosy ambience with new decor throughout. We’ll be back!

We came here in September just before closed down for a refurbishment we where staying Lowside farm brilliant place to stay and the farmer Brian said good food go to the mill inn so we did by god he was right brilliant food. So on our arrival over Christmas we went had look and a meal and it was fantastic food and new look. Brilliant place in the summer welcome dogs as well all year.

Staying in Mungrisdale again but over the Christmas holidays, we were looking forward to eating here after its refurbishment. They asked for 48hrs notice if we would like the Christmas menu, so we emailed our requested food at least a week before our booking. On arrival, they gave us the standard menu, but we said we had preordered the Christmas menu. We were seated, ordered our drinks, and shortly afterwards a young waitress came over to tell us the starter we had chosen was unavailable 🤷‍♀️ How? We preordered? With little explanation, my Husband asked if we can order starters off the standard menu, this was fine, so we chose our starters. Mid way through eating said starters, the young waitress once again came over, to tell us there was no Turkey dinner available 🤷‍♀️ Now this was totally unacceptable! Firstly I had asked when told the starter wasn’t available if the Turkey was, and we were told yes?? Also, knowing the Turkey wasn’t available, why didn’t they just tell us from the start, rather than wait until we had started eating? If they had, we could have made an informed decision, eat there or go back to our cottage instead. At this point a more senior member of staff came over. She apologised over and over, and said our booking wasn’t marked as a Christmas menu booking, even though she found the email saying otherwise. She then said we could order anything off the standard menu instead, and if it totalled more than the Christmas meal they would waiver the difference. My husband asked, if our choices were cheaper could we just pay for what we ate, and she agreed. So, totally disappointed, we found something we would eat and placed our order. I chose Sausage and Mash, and my Husband ordered fish and chips (Happy Christmas yeh 😞). The meal was okay, nothing outstanding to be honest. We were offered a free drink so we ordered those, finished our meal and drinks and asked for the bill. The young waitress came over, and urgh, they had charged us the price of the Christmas menu, which wasn’t what was agreed if the food was cheaper. My husband asked to be re-billed, we paid the correct amount and left. The next day my Husband called to speak to the Manager who wasn’t in until later. He left our number and decided to email instead. The response was that they were looking into it. We are home now, with no response whatsoever from the Manager about this. Firstly I would like to say how sorry I felt for the young waitress. She was clearly uneasy (may be new), was so apologetic, but she seemed to have to deal with a situation that a senior member of management should have dealt with from the start. Secondly, we had decided the pub would be our Christmas lunch, and so we had catered simply for the actual day. No Turkey dinner for us 😔 Thirdly, the whole experience was shocking from start to finish, well, there was no finish because we didn’t hear back from anyone! I’ve worked in hospitality, and would not have deliberately spoilt someone’s Christmas meal. But they did, they knew from the start we weren’t going to get what we ordered. Sadly we didn’t return as we had planned before arriving, we ventured out to eat which given this pub was a two minute walk from where we were staying, well, 😡

Highly recommend this lovely pub. On the walk up to Blencathra . It’s been recently refurbished and what a superb job they’ve done . Food is excellent with plenty of choice backed up by a good range of wines and Real Ales . Lovely staff and a great welcome. We will certainly be back .

This is the second stop over we’ve had at this lovely pub. Since we last stayed, they’ve had a recent refurbishment and the place looks great! The Mill Inn sits above a river at the top of the Lake District and is a great base for walkers/bikers/cyclists or like us, a place to rest up and recharge on the journey home from Kent to Argyll & Bute The choice of local ales and locally sourced food adds to the experience and being dog friendly is real bonus for us. All the staff are really friendly and keen to help and advise. I really can’t recommend The Mill Inn highly enough.

What a lovely place to stay. This is our second visit. Dog friendly which is very important to us. We were made to feel really welcome by the staff. We have a lovely evening meal with excellent food. The room was nice, clean and spacious. The breakfast was lovely served in the refurbished bar area. Great place to can’t wait to go back.

Decided to visit the refurbished Mill Inn and I have to say Gerri and Steve have done a brilliant job ! Just beautiful and very very cosy - love it 😀 We had the Steak and Ale Pie - delicious! Best I have ever had 😋😋😋 Will be back again - very soon 😃😃😃

We stayed here the night before the pub closes for a few weeks for refurbishment. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and the food was fantastic. My chicken pie was the best I’ve ever tasted and my husband’s huge gammon steak was cooked perfectly. Our breakfast this morning was equally delicious and generous. There was even a sausage for our dog! Good luck with the refurbishment and we’ll be back next year!

Really enjoyed two meals here within 24 hours, Chloe was incredibly helpful with sourcing some food for our dog. Service is very friendly and quick.

Stayed for 5 nights bed, breakfast and evening meal. Everything was wonderful, so very relaxed and the food was amazing (brilliant Chef) All the staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The room and the dining rooms were excellent.
