| Had a lovely pint of Castle Rock Screech Owl in here last week. It's a nicely decked out place and the restored water wheel looks great. Very friendly service. dyyony - 3 Aug 2014 22:25 |
I decided to check out the Mill Wheel after seeing it listed in the 2011 GBG and was very unimpressed. The almost empty car park on a Friday lunchtime started the alarm bells ringing. There was only one other customer in the bar when I arrived and he soon departed. The only real ale seemed to be Pedigree which was WELL below par and I had to ask the barmaid to top it up. On the plus side the pub is clean and comfortable and incorporates the restored 24 feet diameter water wheel which once provided the motive power for the variety of different industries that occupied the mill building before it became a pub. If this experience is typical then I will be very surprised if it features in the 2012 Guide. steve2905 - 25 Jun 2011 03:20 |
| BEWARE: If you book a room for just the one night, for example a Saturday, do not be surprised to receive a telephone call, just before your stay, from a member of staff explaining that an Internet booking had already taken your room and no more rooms are available. I received such a call eight weeks AFTER my booking. I am guessing that somebody wanted a room for two or more nights - hence I'm out. The manager of the place where we eventually stayed said he often gets calls from the Mill Wheel asking if he can put people up. Will not be coming back here again. fugglehops - 2 Apr 2011 21:34 |
| We have stayed overnight here three or four times now. Clean spacious bedrooms and a fine breakfast to boot. Apart from once having the Sunday roast I have not tried the lunch or evening meals - but I expect they are superb. Meals are 2 for 1 (just as well, as most dishes are around �14). There are at least four handpumps serving real ale, they do not seem to very that often. One regular is Greene King - well it has to be really. I travel 130 miles to get away from it, and there it is - waiting for me............GO AWAY. Another is Harvest Pale from Castle Rock brewery, a light, hoppy, session bitter (very nice). An ale from Burton Bridge can normally be found, Stairway to heaven (5%). Perhaps next time we stay we will dine on the Saturday evening. (I had better get some overtime in - as there might be eight of us.) fugglehops - 7 Nov 2010 16:56 |
