The Mill Wheel

Thank you for making my birthday so special! The food was absolutely amazing; I will definitely be back for pie and pint night. Amazing staff, beautiful room, and value for money. Thank you again!

We visited the Mill wheel for a Sunday lunch as we were staying locally. What a fantastic place, the carvery was the best we have ever had. There was an array of vegetables, the meats were succulent and very tasty. The staff were welcoming and more than happy to help especially our waitress Mollie. We will be sure to visit again as not only was the food and service amazing the pub it's self has a mill wheel fully visible that is fascinating to watch

Re-review Massive appreciation to the manager Cheryl showing me concerns of the quality of my stay, testament to her dedication to the trade! To clarify my original post - the bedding and room had definately been cleaned and changed but the steamer was broken so the wrinkles were not ironed out. Totally understandable and Cheryl considered perhaps tucking the sheets in for a neater look. The faint smell couldn't really be explained, could only put it to being a people smell? But not a reflection of cleanliness of the place. The tea tray was intact super brand new that the residue I found was in fact the glue tack thing for labels(?) Bed and bedding SUPER comfortable. Bottles of water provided as a considerate extra, greatly appreciated Great choice of food from the restaurant and cozy atmosphere with the open fireplace. Overall I chose to change my review from 3 stars to 5 as Cheryl showed me genuine care of my thoughts. It's all about hospitality! Definitely recommend visiting and staying. Original post: Pros: Bed had a nice mattress topper, felt very comfortable. All basic amenities provided. Very friendly staff Cons: I don't think my bedding was changed since the last guest - there was a very slight lingering smell of a person on the pillows, once flipped, it sort of eased. The duvet cover was not ironed or tucked in - making it look used. The tea coffee facility - a little dusty, no real attention to detail there almost bordering on neglectful.

The Mill Wheel is my second visit to this pub and so far has not been disappointing. The atmosphere is one of welcoming and wonderful bar staff. Food was excellent although only complaint was we were expecting to have the amazing carvery cobs, but unfortunately they changed the menu. But what we had was amazing I had ordered the Fish Goujons with salad and tartar sauce on Ciabatta, my brother in law had the Stilton and Steak on Ciabatta bread, and my sister had the Cheese and ham. Very tasty and certainly worth the money. Staff were professional and courteous in the service, and such a wonderful place. I give it a full rating.

The promo leaflet says you'll be made to feel like a regular from your first visit and it really is true, we dropped in on the way back from an afternoon at Calke Abbey and even though it was obviously a busy evening we were warmly welcomed and fitted in. Theres a great choice of classics on the menu and we were served quickly with generous portions. The beef dripping chips were gorgeous and the steak and ale pie was packed with meat, My fish had a gorgeous crispy batter but I did ask to take my left overs home as it was so large (not because I'd "sampled" most of my Mums dinner too ) Most of all the genuinely friendly atmosphere is what I'll return for.

We came in on our way back from conkers , we were made very welcome by Leanne thank you. I had the steak and ale pie it was delicious my wife had fish as did the children , all meals were excellent , we finished off with sticky toffee pudding and chocolate brownies , this is a really nice place to eat and the food is really tasty . Leanne Made our children so welcome and eve found them some crayons and a colouring book to occupy them while we were waiting . George says hello

The staff were pleasant and welcoming, and the food was delicious. We had a lovely carvery roast dinner

Delicious food. Friendly service. And a fantastic setting. The piece de resistance has to be there's an actual Mill Wheel with actual water making it actually turn. And the rest of the place looks great too.
