Managed to get a last-minute table, which was a nice surprise. The star for me was the grilled octopus - perfectly tender with a smoky char. Portion was a bit smaller than expected, but the flavour was spot on.

Menu&#39;s got a proper veggie/vegan section. Portions are huge. My plate looked like a photo.

Tasting menu was the highlight. Each course looked great and packed flavour. The &#39;Price is Wight&#39; special was good value for the quality.

Portions are huge, which I appreciate. The Greek salad is always fresh, and the thin-crust pizzas are a solid choice. It&#39;s a reliable spot for a filling meal.

Popped in a few times while I was around. The smaller plates were perfect for trying more things. Kids had a blast in the play corner too.

Been coming here for years. The fireplace is lovely, especially in winter. Had the charcuterie board again last night - still the best in the area. Good, honest food.

The scallops and turbot on the tasting menu were lovely. Had a glass of Sancerre with the fish course, a spot-on pairing that really worked. The wine list is decently priced, though I wish they had more by-the-glass options for the menu.

The Sunday roast. The beef was cooked just right, not dry at all. Big portion. The cauliflower cheese was the best part, really creamy and rich. Gravy was good too. Everything came out hot. Decent price for what you get.

The roast was generous, and I really appreciated the fresh, crisp vegetables. The cauliflower cheese was a nice touch, but the Yorkshire pudding could have been a bit lighter. A good, hearty meal after a long walk.

The chilli seekh kebab was really juicy, which is a nice change. The chicken tikka naga had a good kick to it without being too much. Everything was still hot when I got it home, which was a plus.

Came in to escape the rain, ended up staying for hours. The open fire was a lifesaver, and the staff were just lovely &mdash; felt like a proper local.

Lovely local pub. The staff were so friendly and made us feel welcome straight away.

The lunch deal is a good option. I had the grilled salmon with a side salad. The salmon was cooked just right, and the greens in the salad were really fresh. A solid choice for a healthy midday meal.

Great selection of ales, perfect for a casual pint.

Popped in for lunch after shopping at Westquay. It&#39;s nice and spacious, which I always appreciate. The staff were very friendly and didn&#39;t rush us at all. We had the fish and chips, and it was just what we needed. A comfortable spot to take a break.

My friend and I have eaten here 3 times in the last couple of months, drawn back by the &#39;buy one get one free main course&#39; offer. Each time the staff have been excellent, friendly, helpful and we have thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

We booked the private dining room for a small gathering. The menu was thoughtfully tailored, which I appreciated. The ingredients in the seasonal salad were incredibly fresh and crisp. A very pleasant evening.

I have celiac disease, and the staff here, like Becky, really know their stuff about cross-contamination. It&rsquo;s a relief to find a kitchen that takes it seriously. Makes the whole experience way less stressful.

The roast beef at the carvery was spot on. Perfectly pink in the middle, and the gravy had a proper depth to it. The Yorkshire pudding was light and crispy. That&#39;s what I come for.

Nice Saturday lunch. The staff were so friendly when we arrived, which made it a really comfortable start.

The grilled octopus was spot on. Tender, with a nice char, and the lemon-herb dressing was sharp without being overpowering. That&#39;s the kind of simple, well-executed dish I come back for.

The team here is super friendly, especially with dogs. They squeezed in our group without a fuss and kept checking we were all settled. My pup got a water bowl and a pat, which was a nice touch.

Cosy little spot, feels like a family-run place. Had the beef stew and it was proper hearty, just what you want on a damp evening. A nice change from the usual chains.

Been coming here for years, and their fish and chips never disappoint. The cod is always spot on &ndash; crispy batter, never greasy, and the chips are just right. It&#39;s that consistency that keeps me coming back.

The gluten-free scone here was a proper treat! Came out warm, just like the regular fruit one. It&#39;s nice not having to ask for a special menu - loads of options marked up clearly.

Six of us spent New Year&rsquo;s Eve having a truly delicious meal in a really relaxed atmosphere. Matt our server was great and made sure we had everything we needed. A big shout out to the barman - the pineapple spritz was a delight! When we had finished our meal we moved into the bar area and saw in the New Year with some live music (excellent guitarist!). Make this your choice for next New Year - we will certainly be back. Thanks to all at The Mill!

Lovely modern space, very comfortable. The wine list had some nice local options that paired well with our meal.

The salad greens were so fresh and crisp, really made the meal. A nice spot to sit and watch the world go by.

The pasta was clearly homemade and you could taste the quality of the ingredients. Good value for that.

Booked for a birthday. The event planning was really well handled, which made everything so much easier. The homemade scotch eggs were lovely. The bar staff were very attentive throughout.
