We dined from the &#39;Specials Menu&#39; and were rewarded with some innovative foods that were very well prepared and presented. Highly recommended.

Been coming here for years, and Jamie&rsquo;s always spot on with my allergies. Makes it easy to relax and just enjoy the meal. The garden&rsquo;s still lovely on a sunny afternoon.

This pub has such a nice, cosy feel to it. I love the wooden beams and the little nooks you can sit in, it&rsquo;s got a proper village local vibe. Perfect for a quiet pint after work.

Been coming here for years. The crab linguine is always packed with seafood, just like it should be. The mussels are good too, a decent portion. It&rsquo;s a solid choice for a reliable meal.

Came for a family dinner, the portions are huge! We ended up taking half the pasta home. The staff were really quick with our orders, which was a lifesaver with my toddler nephew.

Nice spot for a quiet drink. The bar itself is spotless, and the staff were really on it despite the crowd. Had a decent glass of red with my steak - a solid pairing. Could do with a few more interesting wines by the glass, but it did the job.

Been coming here for years, prices are still decent. Had the burger again last night, it&#39;s always solid. Staff are quick, and they&#39;ll tell you a bit about the area if you ask. Nothing fancy, just a reliable spot.

The Sunday roast. The beef was cooked just right, not dry at all. Big portion. The cauliflower cheese was the best part, really creamy and rich. Gravy was good too. Everything came out hot. Decent price for what you get.

Great selection of ales, perfect for a casual pint.

Really liked the pet-friendly vibe here, and it&#39;s just a short walk from the beach. The staff were all lovely. My steak was cooked just right, which was nice.

The grilled octopus was spot on. Tender, with a nice char, and the lemon-herb dressing was sharp without being overpowering. That&#39;s the kind of simple, well-executed dish I come back for.

The team here is super friendly, especially with dogs. They squeezed in our group without a fuss and kept checking we were all settled. My pup got a water bowl and a pat, which was a nice touch.

Six of us spent New Year&rsquo;s Eve having a truly delicious meal in a really relaxed atmosphere. Matt our server was great and made sure we had everything we needed. A big shout out to the barman - the pineapple spritz was a delight! When we had finished our meal we moved into the bar area and saw in the New Year with some live music (excellent guitarist!). Make this your choice for next New Year - we will certainly be back. Thanks to all at The Mill!

The loaded fries are massive, perfect for sharing with a couple of mates. Really tasty and the portion is huge, we couldn&#39;t finish it! Staff were super friendly and chill, which made the whole vibe just right for a casual catch-up.

Love how this place transitions through the day. Had a coffee and a croissant in the morning, then came back for a late lunch and a cocktail on the sunny terrace. The vibe just shifts perfectly.

Stumbled in after the lighthouse walk. They had a table for us, no booking needed. The fish and chips were spot on, and that homemade tartar sauce really worked. The live jazz was a nice touch, made the place feel cosy. A solid pint of ale alongside it all, just right.

The bed was super comfortable, and I really appreciated how fresh and clean the linens smelled. A good night&#39;s rest is so important.

Cosy village pub, nice for a summer pint outside. Had the Guinness on tap &ndash; it was spot on. The lager looked good too. Just a proper, no-fuss place for a drink.

Spent a night here and the bed was super comfy. But the breakfast! Made to order, so many options. The French toast with fresh berries was spot on. Really set me up for the day.

The gluten-free pasta was a nice touch for my friend. It held up well, not mushy like some places do. The sauce tasted fresh, not from a jar.

Such a welcoming, no-frills pub. It&#39;s always buzzing with a mix of students and locals, which gives it a great vibe for catching up with friends. The bar staff are young and super friendly, which really makes a difference. A proper spot for a relaxed evening.

Been coming here for years, and it&#39;s always solid. The owner remembered I like watching the matches and got me sorted with a decent table again. Food&#39;s still good for the price.

The service was so friendly and quick, it really put me at ease. The whole place just had a good, relaxed vibe that made the evening really pleasant.

No booking but got a table quick even at Christmas. Sophy&rsquo;s suggestions were spot on. Food came fast and hit the spot. Perfect for a quick bite when you&rsquo;re in a rush.

Huge portions here, perfect for a quick bite. The seafood platter is massive, easily enough for two. They even threw in a free bottle of wine. Got in and out fast during my lunch break.

The chicken and ham hock pie was a proper, hearty dish. I had it with a glass of their house red, which cut through the richness nicely. A solid choice for a cold evening.

Got the burger on a local&#39;s recommendation. The patty was juicy and cooked just right, with really fresh local ingredients. It&#39;s up there with the best I&#39;ve had in town.

Been coming here for years. The game room&#39;s always a hit with the group, keeps everyone happy.

A welcome stop after cycling. The beer garden was lovely for a pint in the sun. Staff were friendly, and it seems a good place to catch a match.

Pies and burgers were spot on. Freshly cooked, not just reheated. Menu had enough variety to keep it interesting. Solid meal.
