Was here for a nice day out and stay for a break with my partner. There was a group who were getting rowdy. Wasn’t dealt with and were left to get louder . People were leaving as was really uncomfortable. Family’s with children. My partner went to the bar and got abuse from one of the group who called him a swear word and accused him of complaining which he didn’t. Was actually the barmaid who was talking to my partner that hah had enough. It ruined our evening. Manager said sorry but that was all… we spent a fair amount on food and drinks… not good enough really. Very disappointed. Won’t be back.food was mediocre at best. Had to ask to get our table cleaned.not good.

we stayed at the premier inn across the carpark. Got a lovely dinner here on Friday, had breakfast (premier inn) on Sat, Sun & Mon. We didn't get much sleep due to a fight in the car park on the Friday night, customers arriving in cars with load music and not being considerate. The staff in the pub are so lovely and helpful, so accommodating. They just need to be a bit more thoughtful of the Premier Inn "good night guarantee" cause certainly didn't get any. Premier Inn not interested as this was mainly a out the building

Good afternoon

We are happy that you enjoyed your visit to our pub with the service and the food, We are sorry to hear that you were woken by the noise from the car however this is not something we can control. As we are a separate company to the premier inn we can only ask and hope if you would perhaps review your rating as you have mentioned you enjoyed your visits to us and we would like to hope this would earn us at least a 4* as the team here did look after you.

Kind Regards
The Mill Team
