The Xmas dinner was cold , and they reheated it in the mircrowave and bought it out for us and it was £68 per person I do not reccomend , we had cold gravy also on the side it was disgusting
Unlimited breakfast @ The Windmill. Firstly, I was attended to within seconds of arriving by lovely, friendly staff. The continental buffet selection was vast and fresh. The coffee from the machine is amazing. Then the full english. I ordered everything I wanted and again was served within minutes. Every item on my breakfast was cooked to perfection. This is an unmissable plaice if your in need of a hearty breakfast.
Not great tbh - Visited on Tuesday, 27th May 2025, for a 25th Silver Wedding Anniversary revisit to the scene of our wedding night and breakfast at the Watermill Premier Inn and Beefeater restaurant. We had eaten at the restaurant in the intervening years, and sadly, it has gone downhill. We used to be able to be seated in the attractive upper seating area, but we were advised it had now been closed, and then when we ordered our food, I ended up paying an extra £3.99 for 2 small tasteless prawns. All pretty poor and down at heel, but the few overworked staff members who were there were friendly enough.
We booked Christmas dinner, we turned up on opening time and still 2 and half hours waiting with no food. Absolutely horrendous experience for us as a family. Got offered no good will gesture. Can’t believe the service we have received here. We have an autistic 7 year old and a new born baby so they decided to seat us upstairs with a pram we had to carry. Just awful our son got his food and we are still waiting for ours. The outcome we got was unacceptable.
We stayed at the Premiere Inn next to this restaurant. The food was excellent. Not one complaint about the food from any of us. The waitress was helpful and kept our drinks topped up. Definitely recommend the place. We also had breakfast. The full English was fresh and well presented. You could also help yourself to cereal, Toast and crumpets, fruit and juices, yoghurts. Spot on!
Following a hospital appointment, my husband and I treated ourselves and a friend to a meal here. We ate from the lunch menu, and were served by Kira in the bar area. Service was friendly and well-timed. No rush to finish, and helpful pointers to our options. The food was fresh and cooked to our liking. The gammon our friend ordered was not overly salty. Each plate was about the right amount of food for a filling but not heavy meal. Highly recommend to others.
We went in for breakfast, the manager Karen H was rude and unwelcoming, asked if we had booked, no we hadn't! Doesn't say we have too. Then said with attitude well you will be my last walk in we're busy, they were not. Sat us down, didn't explain where to find tea, coffee walked off, our waitress came, Abby lovely lady took our order. Karen brought our food over, eggs! Hash brown! Not hello enjoy your food.. walked off, another 2 lots of customers come in as walk ins, also rude to them. Every time she walked pass us we got a dirty look. Karen walked passed again, we asked if we could order more food, rudely answered I will send her over! Was rude when we asked for more milk as it had run out . This lady attitude will not help your business, if we are walkin, booked or staying at your business, she will not help you get another booking. Food was lovely nicely cooked,and hot.
Ate here a number of times, can be hit or miss. Normally, friendly helpful staff. Tonight however, came for a couple drinks and bar snacks.....only about 3 items off the menu available, served a pint of coors with no head whatsoever & when I asked about this! Felt dismissed as though I'm stupid.... was going to do 2 star, but have had better times before for sure!
I have given 4 stars for the new manager Martin as last night we had a family meal at the watermill and had to speak to him about some issues with our meal. Martin did this with total respect for us and we found him very professional. We will be back to see him in the new year. Thank you to all the staff who was very cheerful and helpful. Happy Christmas to you all.
Lovely food, great service and good prices
