We had high hopes for this beautiful restaurant however the quality of the food left much to be desired from the portion sizes to taste we were left disappointed. We were slightly surprised by the inattentive wait staff who seemed more interested in setting up for the following day than taking notice that we were finished our less than appetising meal and waiting to leave. Much room for improvement.

The desert was lovely. The main was disappointing. I would have expected this standard at a cheap café.

After two reminders during the day about our booking we arrived at the restaurant early for a pre dinner drink which is when we were told we would be eating upstairs with no explanation of whether this was normal or why they were doing it. Whilst having our drink by the bar I tried to message my daughter but there was no phone signal. The barman said there was a free open WiFi which I then tried to connect to. Unfortunately this is not possible without a signal so had to go outside and 3-4 minutes later after sharing everything about myself including DOB, address, email etc. I managed to get online. We were then ushered upstairs where it was blatantly obvious that the space was not part of their normal restaurant being a wide open room with no character. We asked whether we could be seated downstairs which is when we were told that part of the restaurant had been flooded and there were no extra seats. I really wish the restaurant had taken the effort to tell us this in either of the two reminders they sent us during the day or at reception when we arrived as we would have gone elsewhere . Food was very average.

Service was poor (wait staff were nice but waited 50 min for dessert and food came out without cutlery in a weird order and odd timings) Food was very average but quite over priced Place is very nice though worth going for a drink and a flatbread.

Good food, at The Saxon Mill, but there were not enough staff available to effectively attend to the number of dinners, which cause delays with service..

Lovely setting with gorgeous river views inside a working mill. Wide ranging menu & light lunch menu. Top end pub restaurant food & easy place to while away 2-3 hours !

The food was largely tasty. However, some of it Luke warm or even cold. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the staff clearly working very hard as it was extremely busy. It took a while to find our booked table due to them not being able to find our booking, although I had email confirmation of the booking. All staff polite.

Food was over cooked, order taken wrong, busy and not enough staff. Had fish and chips, both over cooked. Friend ordered food and switched chips for salad had to ask twice for. And this was Friday lunchtime

Food was lovely and really good value. Only issue was they had no record of our booking through Fork but still managed to seat us. Brilliant service.

for anyone hoping to get a full VAT receipt - there is a real problem with being able to recover a full receipt here. Your order and payment is taken via QR (no issue with that!), but then the confirmation states if you need a full VAT breakdown receipt you need to ask a member of the team ............. who are too busy to help! I now need to send another email to an email address to chase up my receipt. If you are going to use tech to take the order and payment - then for heaven's sake please use tech to provide the receipt too!

Had to wait to be seated for about 15 mins . Eventually the host showed up and took us to a table where we waited again for 15 minutes for a drink Food was awful , starters were cold and obviously been left waiting in the kitchen for some time . Main meals were average apart from my steak which came with a cremated mushroom and equally burnt onion ring . Worst quality steak I’ve ever had . Service was appalling had to wait at least 30 mins between course . Couldn’t wait to get out of this place .

Excellent and enjoyable dinner in glorious surroundings overlooking the millpond. Super food and engaging, charming service from an articulate young man who gave us great advice over choice of wines. Thoroughly recommended.

I was a bit disappointed that we were left waiting at the door to check in despite the fact the barman could see we were waiting. The service was good considering the girl serving us was new that day. The restaurant was quite busy and had a good atmosphere - it's a beautiful building, well laid out etc etc. The table was nicely set. But the food was disappointing. My prawn and crab pasta was gloopy and I couldn't detect any crab. My son's steak sandwich should have been cooked rare but wasn't. The broccoli in my husband's super salad thing looked just past it's sell by date. The coffee taken outside was just disappointing. None of it was terrible therefore complaint worthy, it was just disappointing. The food wasn't very good.
