Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The steak mushroom ale pie is delicious. The filling is flavorful and the crust is crunchy and not too heavy."
  • "Tomahawk is beautiful, tender and flavorful, tasty without any sauces."
  • "The whole sea bass is tender and fresh."
  • "The crispy filo shell, warmly spiced chicken filling. The garlicky spicy hummus adds a kick."
  • "The venison steak was cooked perfectly, beautiful and tender."
  • "I ordered whole sea bass and it was the best I ever have."

Cons:

  • "The steak we had was the worst I'd ever had in my 33 years of existence. So unpleasantly chewy, impossible to swallow."
  • "My friend says the pulled pork was far too sweet… Maybe there’s too much ketchup."
  • "The mussels were old tasting, chicken shawarma was bland, and pork rump was okay but not good."
  • "Chicken wing starter cold and undercooked, even our table staff agreed it wasn't good."
  • "My steak was burnt ( I asked for well done) and my daughter's wrap was a bit smelly because of the cheese inside."
  • "Unfortunately, the mains we tried, we were a group of three, were not good."

Service

Pros:

  • "Friendly service with nice grills."
  • "Staff were mostly helpful and attentive and fulfilled our needs."
  • "The waitresses and waiters treated me well. They didn’t discriminate someone simple because one brings laptop."
  • "We enjoyed our meal before starting river punting even though we were on a tight schedule. Our waitress, Jem, was very helpful."
  • "Service was top notch and the staff is always friendly and makes the experience feel customized."
  • "Hubby and I went to MillWorks for our 1st anniversary because it was the restaurant that hosted our wedding reception exactly a year prior."

Cons:

  • "Service was very slow, although I think it was a busy day."
  • "Food came quite fast, but I waited for about an hour for my bill."
  • "Great food but poor service. I visited a few years ago and was very excited to return, a bit disappointed with the poor service this time."
  • "The interior of the venue is neat and quirky... However, the service was pretty poor. Our waiter clearly didn't want to be there today."
  • "The worst dinning environment. The seats very narrow. And unlucky thing, the 12 people sitting next to us, supper super loud, laughing and screaming almost non stop for one than one hour."
  • "Unfortunately, I think we came on a night where the team were short staffed. The service was poor for several reasons."

Ambiance & Location

Pros:

  • "Lovely restaurant, stunning views and interior."

  • "This place has a great location and well done interior design."
  • "I had very good time there being myself and chilling."

Cons:

  • "No parking though so make sure you follow the road round and they’ve got side streets about 10 mins over the bridge."
  • "Music a little loud and naff."
  • "The seats are too hard and not enough comfortable (but maybe it’s just for me:))"
  • "The atmosphere is great however they messed up my order twice."
  • "Nice location and decent staff but that's all the good things."
  • "The worst dinning environment. The seats very narrow."
