The Water Mill Tearooms

Was looking forward to the reopening of this quirky and quaint village, tearoom located in an old mill, but our visit was extremely disappointing. It now doubles up as a tea room (daytime) and Italian restaurant (some evenings) and has lost all its quirkiness and charm. The once beautiful wooden service area is now covered in glitter and a black cage and is more in keeping with Soho than a sleepy village. The seating arrangements, Formica tables and fake leather chairs, do nothing to enhance the atmosphere. On the plus side, the catering staff haven’t changed and the food is as good as ever, however, some of the staff could do with a few lessons in customer service.

Oh dear!!! Over booked and over stretched and no one seemingly in charge… Father’s Day treat gone horribly wrong and not just our table of 8 either… Real shame as the setting is great and the food (when it eventually arrived) was excellent… Restaurants don’t run themselves… this one does… hence the poor service and general chaos… Avoid parties over 4 and maybe just stick to watering and feeding Cyclists..

Nice surroundings but goats cheese salad left a lot to be desired! Salad leaves were inedible and smallest amount of crumbled goats cheese. Was told salad was fresh that day but it was turning black. Didn't want to eat it in case it made me ill. No offer of reduction when I paid the bill. Definitely a meal to avoid!
