First time at the restaurant for our 1st anniversary meal was a brilliant atmosphere,service second to none and the food was out of this world will highly recommend this place and will be goin again

This was our first time visiting the Mill of the Black Monks (aside from the amazing Christmas dinner collection we had). We were blown away by every aspect of the experience - the historical building, the friendly service and the delicious food. We couldn't fault it, and will certainly be returning!

Superb restaurant. Food is exquisite. Pomegranate salmon is bursting with flavour, this has got to be my new favourite. We were a group of six with everyone choosing a different dish and everyone was very impressed with their choice. We live in the south of England but will make every effort to get back to enjoy this wonderful place. As well as excellent food the staff and surroundings are great. Thank you for a wonderful experience

Absolutely loved it. The food was perfect 10. Lovely atmosphere. Good selection of alcoholic drinks. Great service. Gorgeous surroundings.

Went has a party of 3 girls, 1 of us being GF and we have nothing but good things to say! The attentiveness of the staff was amazing, from the get go! Cocktails were 10/10 and the beef wellington alone is worth the visit.

We ate here for a family meal. The service was good, good selection on the menu, good choice of drinks and the food was fabulous. The bar is very tastefully decorated to reflect the history of the building. The food was very good, with large portions, hot, fresh and tasty. It was a bit pricey, but it was Wednesday and had 15% off, so it wasn't too bad.

This was the first time for us at The Mill of the Black Monks. Manager Julie and her colleague Chloe we're on shift tonight, they we're both very welcoming on arrival, showed us to our seats, we asked if we could have a couple of drinks before we ordered they we're more than accommodating with this we did not feel rushed at all. We asked for information on the menu as to recommendations, Chloe knew her menu and advised on dishes and she recommended some amazing choices, we both had amazing meals. Chloe was very professional, and she showed amazing customer service, she cared for us throughout our time here, she is a great asset to your team.

Absolutely lovely! I had the duck which I would highly recommend! (Rare of course). My better half had beef Wellington which was gorgeous! The desserts were fantastic! Brilliant staff and very polite. All around a beautiful dining experience 11/10 Thank you
