The Old Mill, Portishead in North Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The friendly, proactive, well mannered staff really make this place. Chloe is superb and will go far in life! Food is decent, I recommend the buffalo wings. The atmosphere is hilarious, the Saucy Griller has (suspiciously AI looking) pictures of Gorilla's in suits on the walls. The pub is a lovely old building, the aesthetic inside is surprisingly American. Not bad at all. Worth the overnight stay in Portishead! Would definitely go again.

Saucy griller food is amazing 10/10. Nice atmosphere as well

Fight kicked off in the beer garden but the rest of the night was nice, staff friendly also.

Great place, live music friendly staff,

Lovely staff couldnt do enough for you, food amazing waitresses perfect

Fabulous pub, great atmosphere and friendly staff

It’s ok. Drinks expensive and not much choice

Spent my time there in the garden, whilst it was a nice space the seating is dated and a hazard you can only sit in the middle of a seat, as you would possibly send another person flying exposing screws

Went to eat at Saucy Griller in the Mill. We has a sharing tomahawk beef to share, wow, whats an amazing experience of delightful food great wine and butcombe beer. Also amazing staff.

Lovely social pub with a good selection of beers and food. While we where their they did have a issue with their till but trusted us to come back later and pay for the drinks we ordered. We used a function room for a meeting which was a nice size and was a reasonably quite space away from the main bar.

Great Guinness and Kirsty rules

Nice place but kitchen was closed due to some maintenance work,friendly bar staff

Very good atmosphere and food, in a very old building, live music on weekends

Had never been to The Old Mill until last week, had a brilliant night and can’t wait to go again!

My band played here last week 👍🙂

You guys are awesome, the best welcome I have reciced in a world rating .. thx to amy 💕 bar and a very special thank you to Kirsty ... She is the the best ever racing driver / stunning too . She could steal a man's soul just with her eyes ... wow wot a nice young lady XOXO.. Garrie & leigh & lola the dog 🐕 ❤️ ♥️ 💖 💕 💙

Didn't eat. Came to see a band called 'The Woods' which were excellent. Room to dance and it was great fun. Spoilt during the interval by the pub playing grunge music very loudly during the interval and refusing to turn it down

Served quickly, but pub almost empty when I went in late on a Saturday afternoon. Really wanted a coffee, but not available. Nice, private back garden.

Nice pub, acoustic are not it’s strength, nor it’s lay out when they have live mus.

Good pub, main reason for visiting was live music, which was very good 'wired for sound'. Intended to eat there first but on arrival was told kitchen was being refurbished, which was a little disappointing as it didn't say this on their website, having said that they did say we were welcome to grab a takeaway and take it back in (which we didn't do)

I was customer of this pub for a long time but not anymore. One day, I received a fine from the car park administration. Despite I showi they my tickets from the PUB and went to speak with the pub stuff, nothing changed. They talked to me maybe the registration plate machine doesn't work properly and I needed to pay the fine. You can stolen my money once, never twice. Bye.

Nice dog friendly pub lovely staff.

Always been a great pub, staff are great and look after you.

Nice pub, only popped in for a quick pint. But go again.

Wouldn't go again. Came for lunch, the whole place smells like p*ss but we still ate there lol If you chose to get the beef burger just get it off the kids menu, we chose one kids beef and one off the main menu but they're exactly the same size (albeit the kids is half the price). My husband did say it tasted yum though. Kids chicken burger said it came with American cheesy fries and coleslaw - it did not. No heating on so all kept our coats on to eat.

Roasts not as good as they used to be, very sweet cabbage, hard stuffing and pork was grilled and tasted burnt like a bbq. Brocoli was raw, not nice at all for the price.

Used to be alright but not good now it has changed hands. Car park has to be paid for now and seems to be run by the mob. Locals seem to be avoiding it now and I think they have it right.

A hidden gem 💎 Most delicious burger and fries ever!! They currently have a great deal on for £10 - huge burger, huge portion of fries, coleslaw and pork scratchings, and a pint INCLUDED! Great quality food, super fast service and a lovely environment! Sat by the fire enjoying a beautiful burger 🍔 Really quiet too!

Nice place to have a beer. Food yet to test

good live music on weekends. Highly recommended 👌

Great service at the bar very quick and polite staff lovely atmosphere & live music 👍

Nice pub but seems empty most nights. Go and and give it a try - good beer and food selection, nice staff.

Fantastic Roast dinner today!! Great selection of drinks, along with amazing food!! Thank you!

Came for a drink before collecting a takeaway. Extremely misogynistic, aggressive, nasty man, first berating someone on the phone ‘you need to learn some respect, don’t be a girl’. Then started to have a go at a female at the bar ‘this is my pub, how dare you drink in my local’. Absolutely insane. My Dad was an abusive bully, I was shaking with fear. Why don’t you take control and ban him?

Amazing Sunday roast. Fantastic place! We will come again

Bit quiet in here tonight but warm and inviting 🤗

Gert lush Sunday roast! Best I've had for a long time in Portishead. Very polite and attentive staff too.

Lovely tasting Sunday roast reasonable price. Took a star off because it could have been hotter. Dog friendly, good staff, own car park register your car. Forgot to take a photo.

Friendly staff, reasonably priced and delicious Sunday lunch

Seems like a well run pub,l admit l only went for the music, Archalia was the chosen view of the night,not missing that!.l digress,The pub,l would say caters for a wide age group......even as old as me,comfy sofas to park yourself in whilst very good view of the band.Small but adequate dance area,outside areas to sit and chat and a very generous size car park.A little pricey for pensioners like myself but that the trend now in these costly times.Staff were courteous and reasonably friendly,very efficient but another body to help behind the bar would aid the waiting experience.All in all l would give it two thumbs up and a yes vote.Will l visit again? when a pub hosts the likes of Archalia and l was told Mike Bess the night before then their musical credentials are assured in my book.Eell done,The Old Mill.

I really like this place. Nice, friendly staff, well kept beers.

Good service, nice pint of real ale, Burger 🍔 was good.

Delicious roast dinner. I was not expecting it to be such good quality. Very impressed. This places deserves to be much more full of bookings. New owners have drastically improved the menu.

Good food well cooked and great service. Would recommend to others.

Had a great meal on Saturday, great value for money , will definitely go back.

New owners are very nice . Food delicious. Bar staff always happy to help

Great Music at this pub at weekends, Thr Ladies Loo Let's it down though !

Nice very, friendly welcome and really well priced drinks! 2 Birra Moretti's with change from a £10 note! Can't remember the last time we had change for 2 beers!!!!

Nice building but didn't stay long. Service good,beers good.

Best pub in Portishead! Great place to hang out for a beer or two, fantastic food, and friendly welcoming staff!

Popped in here for a quick drink. This place has just opened and seems really nice.

Nice pub. Nothing spectacular but serves a decent pint.

Place appears nice enough although if you plan on going to the Old Mill and use the Old Mill parking, hopefully you've read this review and...don't. Parking states it's for Old Mill customers although staff will make no effort to inform you that your car registration actually needs to be input somewhere, otherwise you'll receive a handy £100 fine. I ordered a classic burger with brownie dessert and both were good. It's a nice place with nice food, but staff seem unable to care less.

Nice selection of draft beers and great live music

Great place for a goid night out.

Great night on a Saturday if you like live bands and the atmosphere is Electric

Food is really good. Recommended. Just needs a few more customers to give it a bit of atmosphere.

Fabulous customer service and beautiful cooked food ☺️

Had a mint night great band and good atmosphere

Great place lots locals entertainment and very friendly

Lovely friendly staff. Enjoyed a sunday carvery there.

Amazing pub, great atmosphere. Great friendly service, amazing staffs. Looking for a place to hang out for a beer or two, then I highly recommend The Old Mill. Visit the secret garden for fun and magic night out. Best pub in Portishead.

Visited on a Saturday lunchtime. They had Otter ale being served, as well as ciders and larger on tap. Polite staff and there was space to sit. Chips were lovely and homemade. Ham was cut thick and the fish had a lovely light beer batter. Reasonable prices.

Nice to see it back as a bar. Prices are reasonable for the area

Very overcrowded and very dark colour on the walls, glad the pub was busy no covid restrictions implemented

Friendly staff. Nice interior. Good location. The good smelled nice.

Lovely food great night very friendly staff

Excellent food and friendly atmosphere and staff 👌

Had a lovely time, Joe was especially hospitable, will be back

Recently stopped in here for lunch and some drinks with my partner and had a delightful experience. We were served by a gentleman named Adrian and also had a chat with another man named Joe who were very accommodating. We will return guys!

Excellent service and great food to.

First time been there and is a beautiful place with a beautiful garden beer Definitely il be back again

Limited menu but the food was good although my wife said her chips were dry and my son in law left his so he obviously didn't think much of them either. My pasta was great and my daughter ate her chilli so we at least were happy. Puddings were very much to our taste steam puddings and custard went down a storm while I went for a lighter option a trio of ice cream which was lovely. Prices were good and the service excellent. I enjoyed the meal, the pub and thought the staff were welcoming and very pleasant and accommodating. A good experience

Visited the old mill for the first time with the walking group last Thursday , excellent service from staff member on duty (owner ) ? Very varied and tasty menu , had fish chips tatare sauce and peas myself followed by by Marshfield ice cream , heavy downpour outside have us the chance to delay our departure and relax and take in the atmosphere of this lovely old pub

It is a lovely pub and the staff were lovely. Just a little overpriced otherwise I would have given it 5⭐

Lovely Sunday roast before the England vs Italy Euro 2020 -good sized TV, seats in view of the TV and well socially distanced. The pub has lovely decor, comfy seats and good food. The staff were fantastic, really quick to serve and clear away empty glasses great local pub!

Lovely staff, unfortunately they are not being employed by the new owner who takes over tomorrow. Love the decor and atmosphere of this place.

Staff are slow to serve and not doing food yet. Garden is nice though

Not the best with track and trace. More effort required.

It is a very old bar, it is kept in very perfect condition, something unusual in an English bar (they always have a musty smell...) very cozy and comfortable, very good drinks, good quality

A very pleasant surprise from the outside it looks unloved but inside is a very nice and clean friendly place.

Nice pub where they make you welcome.

Pub is up for sale and it reflected it, interior very tired, empty when we arrived for Sunday lunch. Food took awhile to arrive and was ok, didn't stay to have a sweet

Yeah great place to go love it every weekend staff for excellent you owners great

OK pub but lacking in atmosphere and overpriced drinks.

Always a fight brewing on a saturday night. Bouncers jump on it eventually but not too quick. Drinks and staff are lovely. Went else where in the end. May have just been unlucky of late.

Apart from staff we were the only people there.

Meal very nice name of pub white lion

Great place to go to meet up with friends and family. Food was delicious (I had the fish and chips) and reasonably priced. The staff are so friendly and helpful.

Very friendly Manager & Staff, suggestion would be to get more comfortable seats.

Lovely pub and the man working behind the bar was very nice and friendly and full of local information

Great place. Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere.

Great food generally but I've had one or two visits where the food had been below expectations

Lovely pub, doesn't look too inviting but don't let that put you off as once inside or in the beer garden all is good

I have made a comment to you before.... About charging me 2 different prices for the same lager beer And to add further.. Charging me more for the bbq Than advertised. Also didn't say, now I will!! The bbq chicken was burnt And the chips, which I think you reheated in the bbq itself were cold The chef had a strop And you had taken over running of it. Enough said Ohhh!!!! the dj he was brilliant

Very expensive .. pint of Doombar ,pint of Coke and 1 fish and chips £21.00 dont catch me twice . In response to the owners reply .. when the meal eventually came it was a shrivelled up piece of fish with certaintly not minted peas but mushy dried up peas. The chips covered the plate which i can only assume was to mask the dried shrivelled fish and dried mushy peas. The meal was served a 8.30 pm so i assume end of the day left overs . In short not abit like the owner has described and really not wirth the price charged. Most certaintly fair to only award 1 star ..if that.

Food took a little while to come out, but it was all freshly made and tasted great. Service was good, and as a big family group there was plenty of space to sit.

Service could have been better.

Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff, had the goats cheese salad which was very nice.

Friends and I went to a spiritualist meeting there. Very enjoyable evening but didn't eat just had drinks. Bar staff very polite and friendly.
