Old Mill

We had a fantastic meal here the Friday night before our wedding with all the family who were staying over. We ate in one of the private dining areas which is curtained off from the main restaurant and allowed enough privacy to have a real sense of a party but without being isolated.
The food was without exception superb; everyone was absolutely thrilled. It was impressive too when a couple of people in our group ordered off the menu and the staff didn’t quibble. The prices are excellent for the quality of the food and its presentation. Service too was good: we were looked after very well indeed and will definitely go back for big group events.

What sells this gastropub for me is it’s location right on Grand Union Canal and interior design that integrates a working mill. Fantastic! The food was great (we ate here one Sunday afternoon) and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. I liked it so much I tried to make a large booking for dinner with family the night before my wedding, but they couldn’t fit us into the private room and weren’t prepared for us to take up half of the main dining room. I was disappointed to say the least.

This has always been a fantastic old pub, but I’ve recently been in since it’s refurbish — and WOW!
The food is great — the décor is amazing! They’ve managed to make it old world and contemporary at the same time.
Nicely divided into two areas, also has a large room for functions — well worth a visit — and I hear they now do Breakfast!

This is a lovely old pub, located on the outskirts of Berkhamsted, on the old road to Hemel. Turn left just past the garage into a large car park.
It has a nice garden area and a lovely private walled courtyard where the mill pond empties and you can watch the ducks.
The staff are exellent — young and with real personalities. It is the sort of place a woman could go into on her own and the staff would make her feel at ease.
The bar is well stocked with several local ales. The food is lovely — not cheap but very good quality. The duck is lovely (hopefully not a companion of the ones outside!). There is a private dining room which holds around 15 — 20, great for a night out when things may get a bit noisy! The staff will come and take your drink orders.
Highly recommended.
