The Mill Inn in Sunderland

I attended for a meal tonight we have been there several times , we waited a long time for food although it was not busy there were 6 meals.ordered the food was just say warm , my mams mince was stuck to the plate potatoes lumpy and she could not eat it. A total change from the last time.we were there

The service is great, however the quality of the food has gone down since last being here.

I have heard good things about the food but have not tried myself. Horrible smell throughout the pub, knocked me a bit sick if I am honest. Also the drinks are really expensive.....£4.90 for a pint of Coors, which I had to take back and have changed as it tasted weird.

Great atmosphere, beautiful food, highly recommend

Absolutely fabulous food.Pleasant staff.I enjoyed chilli chicken balls noodles & chips.

Been loads of times, food is consistently good, although portions are on the large side. Some TLC and updating would be welcome, however the Owners (not the Landlord as it's a tenancy) need to spend their money on that. Great place and staff

Beautiful atmosphere, very friendly staff. Food amazing and interior really nicely decorated.

Sunday roast - very tasty and huge portions. The pork was really tasty and the crackling really crispy. My friends agreed the beef was very good too. Service - very warm, friendly, efficient and swift. Always happy to offer little extras like sauce pots and Gravy. Even coped well with a late addition to the party. Atmosphere - a bit noisy to hear at the far end of our long table but that's cos it generated good conversations. 4.7 / 5 *

Lovely meal. Big portion. Friendly staff. Recommend booking in advance on a weekend or you may have to wait a bit for your food.

Amazing Sunday dinners, really filling and very well made. Proper gravy too!

Beautiful home made food , portions were fab. Service was amazing and staff were lovely they always are!!!

Absolutely lovely food , great friendly staff would definitely recommend first class

We were a group of 15 and were well looked after. The food was excellent and drinks reasonable priced . There was plenty of parking!

The food was amazing, big portions, service was terrible, the chairs where terrible no padding in really uncomfortable on the backs of you legs, I would go back, deserts where lovely too.

Just been and had a lovely meal absolutely delicious and the staff were very friendly defo going again *****

Cracking atmosphere, great prices nice to see a pub really trying to create a great place to be!

Mince and dumplings are great, staff friendly and helpful, be back soon!

Meal was lovely, nice seating area outside like. Sun trap.

Best fish and chips I ever had and a huge portion. Beautiful pub atmosphere is just what I expected. Well done to the owner and staff

The food was lovely but the service so slow that we did without dessert.

Had a lovely meal here recently. Huge menu choice, quick and cheerful service. Comfortable surroundings. Highly recommended.

Nice old pub for a drink and a meal

Went there for a bank holiday Monday lunch, waited a while but we were made aware and not a lot of staff on. The food did not disappoint, they put a lot on the plates and super value. Will go back again

Cosy, happy atmosphere. Lovely staff. Would definitely come again.

We called nine herebon spec, and we were not disappointed. I had the mince and dumplings, and it was delicious. Staff were lovely.

We had great mince and dumplings and really enjoyed it service was great waitress very pleasant

The Mill Inn is a lovely place with hearty pub grub. Massive portions and great value for money. Staff were lovely and accommodating. Would definitely recommend.

Got the chicken Sunday roast. Big piece of chicken breast but no flavour at all. Very bland. Service was very swift and efficient though. Will go again but just not choose the chicken

Lovely cozy pub, lovely staff. Food decent, my fiances was tastless tho. Response to owner reply... yes! It was tasteless. My partner is not a liar. How rude.

Went with mam for second time. Food and service was excellent again. Waitress and staff were really nice and our Mince and Dumplings was amazing-small plate it certainly was not! Helpings are huge and meals home cooked. Will definitely be back 😀

Called in on the off chance of a table for three for Sunday lunch. So glad we did. The staff were lovely and helpful and the meals were excellent. Generous portions which, as a big eater, I struggled and left some. They do have a smaller plate option. Will definitely try and get back again.

Love this place, food always good. Really need to book at weekends as often busy.

Amazing food, staff are great. Definitely recommend

I ordered garlic mushrooms with white wine sauce.x came with just mushrooms on toast no sauce, mentioned to waitress and brought a gravy boat with a load of melted fat in no more was disgusting. The thing that annoyed me was do they think I don’t know what white wine sauce looks like. I never bothered to mention as already had once. Real shame as been many times and been lovely. I visited on the 7th February was at 1.30 for 2 people

Excellent service with good food and atmosphere

The food was excellent, the beef was cooked to perfection. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend the Sunday lunch.

Had a lovely meal at The Mill Inn. I had a small roast beef dinner. The group of people had a desert and all of them looked very nice .

Woukd not go any where else fab food and service and reasonable prices

Lovely place to eat and drink very friendly staff

This place used to be good but its gone downhill. The waitress spilt gravy down my sons back i got a small sunday dinner instead of a large the veg was rock hard the meat was dry the list goes on. What a shame was a decent place at 1 time. My guinness was ok but i think by the look of it it was a serge can.

Fabulous service. Food beautiful and portions very generous. For 6 of us the cost was extremely reasonable. We will definitely be coming back!

Great home cooked tasty food good value for money

Lovely place. Staff are so friendly. VERY BIG portions, make sure your very hungry before you go. Prices are very cheap. I would highly recommend.

Just a nice comfortable place to eat

Beautiful food and the staff were lovely. Well worth the 5 stars and amazing value for money. Can’t wait to come back and try the roast!

Food was lovely and massive portions nothing really to complain about, it's mainly a pub that sells great standard of food,

Excellent lunchtime food. Wide selection at reasonable prices.

Fabulous food at a great price 👌 highly recommend

Get thee sell there. One of the best.

Absolutely brilliant here today.Amazing service from Sharon and all food fantastic,but the fish and chips were the best ever.Always our favourite place to eat.

First visit. Food was lovely. They were very busy so service was a bit slow but understandable at this time of year. Staff were great. We will be back.

Great wholesome pub grub Great choice at reasonable prices excellent service couldn't fault.

Yorkshire pud wrap was unreal 👌 definitely be going back. The chips were fantastic! X

Just had a Sunday dinner with the family and we would definitely come again. Very friendly and helpful staff, great food and fantastic value.

We took our elderly parents for Sunday lunch. Very tasty beef and the al dente vegetables and gravy were spot on. ExcellentYorkshire puddings. Smaller portions are available. Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The dining chairs are getting a bit saggy, which is our only complaint. Would recommend it to friends though.

They coped very well with a funeral I was attending.

Great food is one of the best places for Sunday roast, but you need to book early as it gets fully booked

Came here on a Thursday evening. It was a lovely atmosphere. My burger was delicious and my friends also enjoyed their food. Service was friendly and efficient.

Picked up take out Sunday lunches - really good, lovely meat.

When ordering my wife's meal she asked for no mashed potatoes this was wrote on the waitress note but when it arrived mash was on the plate. Told the waitress this she did take it back the mash was scooped off replaced with 2 roast potatoes but her meal was not hot.Also I ordered scampi and there were over cooked.Did not want to complain as this was a family meal. Parents wedding anniversary 60years.Did not want to spoil there meal. Also 3 off the party had chips and we all said they had a strange taste.unfortually we would not return.

Lovely food and good prices the coffee and walnut cheesecake was absolutely delicious, the staff who served us and brought out our food were so helpful and very friendly and polite ,they do an amazing job 👏👏🍰

Wow a great find! The service was fabulous in this local pub and the food in the restaurant was amazing. Portions were plentiful and drinks orders were taken promptly. I would definitely recommend if in the area - a fantastic varied menu!

Make sure you book a table in advance because it's mega busy. Great food and if like me you don't do huge portions you can get a smaller portion. Highly recommend

Amazing Sunday dinner, impromptu but we were served with a smile.

Cannot fault this place. Food is excellent!

Been mean time but this time they got it all right food drink and service was SPOT ON! Loads of parking disabled access and child friendly.

Fantastic Sunday lunch and great service for my 93 year old Grandma's birthday. Saw people coming in to collect takeaway Sunday lunches too - which is a good sign!

Got a takeaway Sunday dinner for me nanna it looked and tasted vile don't know how there getting away with serving rubbish like that

Excellent food. Service was actually really good and welcoming. I deducted one star because we had to ask for our deserts because they taken ages to come out. I couldn't really comment on the atmosphere as it waa lunch time amd was very quiet where we was sitting.

The food here is beautiful. I highly recommend the morrocan lamb, it was gorgeous. The kerb appeal of the building is lacking, and the furnishings are dated, this being said, the food is excellent and the staff are friendly. The service was slow on our last visit but they did warn us of delays when we arrived. I would definitely return for the food, but my advice for the venue is that it's time for a refurb.

I went for a family birthday lunch on a sunday at this ph.We all main courses only - 8 of us - and they were all beautiful.All the meals came out at the same time and were great.The service was friendly and efficient.There is a car park beside this pub and it has an outside drinking area.The pub also has a child's menu on a sunday and it does about five other main dishes apart from the sunday lunches.Thoroughly enjoyed by all eight family members and we shall return at a later date.

Great menu choices and fab service.

Food always great but especially so tonight. Prawn Thai curry and sticky toffee pudding which is the best Eva. Service good and lovely friendly atmosphere.

Love the Roast Dinners here..Good portions.. Reasonable prices.

Almost 50 of us got together for my Grandsons first Birthday. Couldn't fault the food or the service absolutely fabulous from start to finish. To cater for such a large group from the main menu must have been a daunting task but everything was on time delicious and served with a smile. Great job all of you

Fabulous food and staff are very attentive new specials every week. Need to book just to get a table especially on as Friday Saturday & Sunday

A gem of a find near the office. Food was amazing, the wait for it was worth it. Highly recommend.

A cosy and traditional British pub setting. Very friendly staff, reasonable drinks prices and a Gluten-Free alternative of most items on the food menu.

Great day food was great and staff very helpful and friendly

I haven't even eaten here but the food smells absolutely amazing, sometimes come down for a few games of pool, lovely little place to relax

Been here loads of times service varies depending on staff been down few times when they’re just not taking orders for some reason very unpredictable and some times very rude

No real ale on now. Good pint of Stella and Morretti, not many in area do Morretti now. Also have a small plate menu for those without a large appetite - great idea. Enjoyed the visit

Fab food service great cannot wait to go back

Service was great and the food was good, we would go back again

Excellent Meals on 15th of October for my Daughter Julie's 40th Birthday and the Staff were very Helpful aswel. Couldn't Fault it 👍

Lunched here with my wife, food was delicious and plenty of it. Lovely pub with a great atmosphere

Food is nice however menu is limited , staff a bit miserable in need of a good old revamp , maybe I'm a bit harsh?

Food is delicious, can't wait to go back for more.

Great food, superbly cooked. Really friendly staff. Small issue of the chairs in the pub area were a tad small for the tables; a tad awkward for eating.

Booked in my wife and I plus our dog into the bar for tea. Swift, kind staff, dog sufficiently fussed over, food excellent. Heartily recommended!

Food was amazing. And lovely service

Food always great at the Mill, great portions. Only thing that lets it down is the restaurant condition. Place is very dated and needs money spending on decor, chairs and some tables. Best place to sit is in the lounge. Overall a great place to eat

Lovely food and service, cant complain

Meal was delicious. Service was excellent. Will definitely be back soon xx

Just Been Down 4 Our Lunch (Not Been In 4 15 Year) & Wow Wow Wow Our Food Was Absolutely Gorgeous Huge Portions (Didn't Realise I Could Of Asked 4 Small) + The Vegetarian Menu Was Top Rate 🥰 Lovlely Friendly Staff Very Clean & Welcoming We'll Definitely B Back 10 Out Of 10 💋

Warm welcome and good service throughout our visit. One bonus was the good-sized carpark .We both enjoyed our meals, I had the burger, and my wife had the salmon.
