Second time visiting this place and not disappointed. Great food, lovely atmosphere, and very friendly staff. The service was excellent and we had a great time. The restaurant was packed so recommend booking a table in advance. You can dine outside looking at the beautiful view, if the weather is nice. The only thing that is not ideal is the lack of parking places in the vicinity of the restaurant. Nevertheless, we will certainly go back to this restaurant.

Top lunch at the Millworks. Lovely spot overlooking the river. Recommend the lunch set menu, in particular the fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding. We managed to obtain 3 tables overlooking the water which added to the experience. Inside you can see the original mill which adds the experience. There is a service charge automatically added to the bill. Service is super quick and you couldn’t want for more.
