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 .

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.

Arrived early for a table at 4pm and was promptly seated. The Saxon mill is a beautiful old working mill and surroundings were lovely. We were seated and ordered drinks which took 10 minutes to arrive. Starter of chilli prawns was luke warm. Waited another 15 minutes for main of chicken pie, which was very disappointing. Had a warm sloppy dollop of mash and individual pie on the side with a small portion of green beans and very undercooked broccoli which was full of storks. We did attempt to order pudding but after a 20 minute wait for the waitress to come back after giving us the pudding menu we gave up. Overall a lovely building but mediocre food with poor slow service. We won’t be returning.

The food was lovely and the scenery is outstanding. It was very busy as the sun was shining so service was a bit slow.

Stunning venue and service was good. Very disappointed in the food though as our salad did not have couscous in it per the menu and no one said anything until we complained, to be told they were out of stock. The ingredients were unevenly served with mounds of one ingredient on one of the plates and hardly any on another. There was an event on at the venue, perhaps this is why, but no excuse. Would still go again.

Very interesting place in a beautiful setting. The food was about average, good but nothing special. The service from drinks finally arriving through waiting for the check, was inattentive and very slow. I will return hoping for better service.

Excellent tasting food that may have taken a reasonable wait to come out but that may have been due to my party dining at lunch on a weekend. Food was worth the wait and allowed us to enjoy the surroundings and excellent range of drinks.

The food was lovely but I had a chicken leg as one of my trio Sunday roast which was small and dry The waiters were very nice but extremely slow waiting for the dinner to arrive and also the drinks took nearly 20 minutes to arrive I would go again as I think the service was due too staff shortage and not them in particular
