The Old Mill Retreat in Broxbourne

Great food.. Remember that you can get free parking for 2 hours if you're eating at the cafe.

A very nice latte in a beautiful spot. Could be improved by toilet facilities.

It's a lovely spot to have drink/snack and to start/and finish a walk along the river.

Made a detour off M25 for a country coffee on route to the Midlands from London. More a take away venue than a cafe, though there is seating.Grab your coffee cup & fill it here with a fresh cappuccino & choose from fresh bakes or cooked breakfast, then enjoy a stroll next to the pretty canal.It helped that it was a beautiful sunny day.

The staff very kindly catered for vegan options. Had a delicious breakfast with a cheeky side order of chips. Highly recommended.

Please beware that I received a £100 parkingFine as I wasn't aware I should request voucher from the cafe. Which made for a very expensive cuppa! I did not see any prominent notice.

We often stop here when taking our walk by the river for a cold drink and a tasty icecream ! It has changed alot over the years as it used to be an more of a fairground shack with candy floss .honeycomb.coconut ice.icecreams.tea.coffee and burgers/ sausages in a bun! Also it now has an inside small cafe and outside awning to sit outside and watch the people go by ! X

Perfectly situated but my gosh did it take a while to recieve a ham baguette and a portion of chips, if it wasn't for the beautiful surroundings I would of knocked another star off for the wait but I did enjoy taking in the beauty of Broxbourne

Indoor and outdoor tables available so reassuring from a covid-19 perspective. Good for a hot snack or breakfast/refreshments, with free parking for 2 hours, but ensure you ask for your free QR code to use at the payment machine prior to exiting the car park. A nice place to stop for a break, chat or stroll along the river.

Its one of my favourites, I just love sitting here and watching the world go by.If you have a couple of chairs or blanket take them along as the picnic benches (which are covered at the moment) get busy.There's nearly always a queue but it soon goes down, lots of choice and the food prepared fresh for you ... Great coffee too always a bonus.It's a great area to explore as well, close to the canal network It's the perfect place to start or finish, it can get busy but all the best places do !
