Margo's at the Old Mill

I want to be able to recommend the new old mill since I admire the new owners efforts. The decor is really lovely and unlike other reviews it is more than needed and to a high standard. Remember how it had deteriorated - very different now. So first we had trouble booking since Google has the wrong telephone number and Open Table kept failing for some reason. Thankfully the new website has the correct number. Then the service was slow and needed prompting to take orders. Lastly the pizzas are just too complicated and fussy. I think some more regular selections would be better. I hope the new management take this review (and others) as feedback for making improvements. I would like to support them and return again soon.

Had a fab meal here tonight. The staff were so nice. Food was delicious. Lovely stop in ten courtyard watching the yellow wag tail birds nesting. Dog friendly too.

What a improvement from previous manager! Food was amazing, not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. Had the 3 courses for £30, the soup was the best I’ve had! The bar man (sorry I have forgot your name) is great, chatty & helpful, came out between courses to see if we were ready for next course, the chef came & chatted about the food what a wonderful afternoon stayed for 4 hours! & the chocolate mousse is to die for! 😊

Popped in today after a long dog walk around ashridge. The staff were more than friendly even offering my dog treats and allowing her either inside or outside. Only had a drink. But would recommend and would return again.

I had a great family birthday meal here last week!
There is a lot of focus on locally sourced and fresh ingredients which comes through in the menu, the food (and the legs of ham hanging above the entrance).
We chose a lot of 'dough' based dishes, including foccaia / bruschetta / pizza etc., and the overall bread texture was really great, as was the quality of the other ingredients used! It's an oddly specific complement, but the texture of the bread was that good.

Service was good throughout, and it was really nice that the chef came to greet us on the way out and gifted some of his homemade harissa paste that we were enjoying with our pizzas. His passion for food really comes through in the few minutes we spoke.

The only disappointment is that it's a fair drive away from home to make a regular occurrence, but when I am able to revisit I'll be trying the charcuterie platter! Would recommend The Old Mill without hesitation.

Lovely local place, started with a great coffee and improved further with a properly made pasta dish made with fresh ingredients that thoroughly satisfied, all rounded off with a wonderful pint and served up by a super landlord who clearly takes pride in his work.

Wherever you travel from to enjoy this place, it's well worth the journey!
