The Old Mill Restaurant in Eastleigh

An unsupposing entrance leads to a cosy yet modern interior. Great service and the food is excellent. A treat if your in the area

I don’t know why this place is rated so highly Food was very disappointing had to send mine back as the duck was very chewy and the parsnips where still frozen in places and after coming home my fiancée is now feeling very sick after the lamb she had was undercooked, very overpriced for what you get and when your local Takaway can cook duck better than a cuisine that’s a big red flag also they offer you bread but forget to tell you that there charging for the bread the only thing nice I can say about the place is the staff were very friendly but other than that the prices are disgusting

Lovely setting. Limited menu. Excellent service. Personally, it is overpriced for what you get. Paying for parking while you eat? A definite no-no from me.

Fantastic food (and very generous portions!). Really interesting setting. Not a cheap night out but well worth it. I had the asparagus and prawns to start and the pork for my main course, absolutely no room left for pudding unfortunately!

The Venu is lovely to and warm and obviously very authentic especially being an Old Mill dating back 100,s of years.Tastefully modernised with a old feel.Very warm welcome from staff and made to feel at home.We had a great time and the staff were attentive,kind and happy to indulge our quirky party.The Evening menu was lovely but surprising not vast in its starters or mains choices, however that should not always be the case.....more is not a plumb line to make a judgement on the food,menu etc.The starters were well presented and we all had something different.Which served our tastes buds..the mushroom stuffed with goats cheese was very tasty but was only just warm to eat ...and the mushroom was not huge compared to the £8.95 ......the mains was a selection of different cuts of pork served with a selection of vegetables and a roasted fondant potatoe....(see foto)What I do need to say is the Pork selection was tender,well cooked and tasty and I could have done with two portions.(That isn't to say the portions were meager) they were just right but I could have easily ate 2 as it was so good....🤪However the one upright half of a carrot and 2 baby broccoli stems and a half of a potatoe less than the size of my credit card that wasn't roasted was very disappointing.I knew the restaurant had a great reputation and the fine diner comes with cost and limited portions but I had to chuckle inside at the seasonal vegetables served with such succulent meats.I would definitely come again but the straw that broke the camel's back with a restaurant with such a great menu pleasant and helpful staff....and great food apart from my own personal observations was you had to pay for parking for the privilege of eating there.The prices you have to pay I do not feel (even if they incorporated parking into the cost of good,service etc) warranty the patron to pay to park the car and eat....just imagine if they did that at the Golden Arches!!!!🤣

Better than your average pub meal, food presented and served quite well, overall pricey for what it is, table of 7 also got a 10% service charge. Total bill came to £521 Inc the £47 service charge for 7 people. strangely I cannot find anywhere on the menu that mentions service charges.Meals served on big plates but meals are quite small.Nice place but be prepared for a high bill. Also get ready to pay for parking in the Botley Mills car park. You'd think customers would get consessions.Before you argue about this 'Old Mill Botley' I'm only relaying what our experience was.

Good service and excellent food choice in a unique setting, highly recommended for that special occasion.

This is the family and friends 'go to' for just about any occasion. Great food, service and atmosphere always. On our latest visit, hats off to our waitress, Mary, thank you for making us feel at home.Have already booked again!

Had a amazing meal here. Service was relaxed, but at the same time totally on point! Nice to get real customer service. However it was the food that makes this place stand out. Well presented and very tasty. We will be going back very soon. If you are visiting for the first time, car parking is free but you do need to give your number plate when you enter. Don’t spend the time buying a ticket via the app!

Fabulous food. Good friendly staff. The restaurant its self is very nice and interesting. Would reccomend it to anyone x
