Dating back to the days of William I and a Grade II listed building, The New Mill is steeped in old English heritage and exudes character; two aspects of its charm that are further complemented by its idyllic setting, nestling on the banks of the River Blackwater.

Today, The New Mill offers its guests a warm welcome coupled with a very modern outlook on the provision of exemplary hospitality and service, whether indulging in the superb culinary experience, dipping into the fine wines, celebrating a wedding, attending a party or a business function.

Family-owned, The New Mill was purchased by John and Cindy Duffield, whose combined passion for consistently seriously good food using the best of local, fresh ingredients, offered at sensible prices is at the core of their menu development and the ever increasing popularity of The New Mill.

John and Cindy have embraced all that was good about The New Mill – its character, location and traditional charm – and revitalised them with their menus, service, a great team and their exuberance. Their aim is to offer guests superb food and fantastic service in a relaxed environment, encouraging them to linger a while and to want to return soon.

The New Mill team have created an ambiance that is relaxed and friendly and décor that is understated and comfortable. Menus, comprising fine modern English dishes, influenced by the sunshine of the Mediterranean and fragrant flavours of East Asia, are designed to entice those of the most discerning of tastes; and the award-winning wine list is truly exceptional in its choice and character.

In essence, John, Cindy and their team are truly fulfilling The New Mill’s potential as the quintessential English riverside restaurant.
