Sculthorpe Mill

"This striking former mill dates back to 1757. It has been lovingly restored by sisters Siobhan and Caitriona Peyton, who have created a chic dining pub with contemporary bedrooms and a riverside terrace. The experienced chef offers well-judged, flavoursome cooking, with plenty of vegetarian options." - Michelin Inspector

Fantastic location, with a beautiful beer garden right next to the river. Food was tasty but the salad served with my steak was 4 little gem leaves with ceaser sauce on. The service on our visit was pretty poor. The bar is small and not great if busy and it took 30 mins to get 2 teas and 2 coffees after our lunch. They didn't charge us for the teas and coffee however as the place wasn't busy I still can't figure out why it took so long.

Relaxing lunch in the sun by the river, the setting is beautiful! Friendly efficient staff and the food top notch. Everything so fresh, vibrant and perfectly cooked, also big thumbs up for the refreshing cocktails. Not overpriced considering how good everything was and glad to see that service charge hadn't been automatically charged. Wonderful lunch, thank you!

It was an amazing location by the river. Beautiful nature and gardens. Food was lovely. Limited for vegan options. But overall highly recommend. Staff were attentive and listened to dietary requirements. Thanks to all the staff.

Lovely, spacious room with beautiful double-sided views of the river and fields. Peaceful, hidden location. However, the room was quite standard for the high price, with minimal toiletries provided. We had to book two nights just to stay one due to limited availability. Breakfast was delicious. Nice stay overall, but not great value for money.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Very busy Mother’s Day but our visit was memorable. From the moment we arrived we enjoyed every minute. A warm welcome, staff working very hard but still attentive and pleasant. The food was fabulous, we particularly enjoyed the sharing Lamb and Chicken. A delightful wine menu. Our new favourite location. Cannot wait to visit again. An idyllic location.

This turned out to be an amazing stay. Food - Breakfast was delicious, evening meal had a lovely atmosphere and the food was almost perfect (my partner’s steak was just slightly tough but didn’t detract from the enjoyment of the evening). Service - Couldn’t fault the service during our stay. Room - Beautiful little room, especially the bathroom, and a stunning view. The only bit of feedback I’d give is it could do with better lighting, especially above the mirror as it did feel quite dark on the dull day we stayed. There were some lovely touches like the speaker and Nespresso machine. Location - Absolutely no faults. It was like staying in a little slice of heaven. Overall, we were very pleased, would recommend to our friends and would stay again.

We called the Scunthorpe Mill for a last minute booking which they were able to help us with, managing an upgrade to the restaurant due to a cancellation. Dogs are allowed in the restaurant which is fantastic. The food was a great variety and excellently cooked. It was such a delight to find a pub/restaurant that doesn’t sell the bog standard food of so many other pubs. Beautiful setting next to the river, great decor and very welcoming. A must visit for any meal of the day.

Had our anniversary dinner here the location of the Mill is just beautiful and great for sitting outside for a pre meal drink. Food was very tasty with a great choice for meat, fish and vegetarians. The stone basse was scrumptious. We would have given a 5 just felt the service was without a smile, but attentive.

What a disappointment!!! Over the last decade or so my family has used Sculthorpe Mill for casual meals and big parties... lovely setting, lovely food, lovely service!! Alas no more... new ownership After waiting over 50 minutes for our food to come, my brother's medium steak turned out to be burnt shoe leather!!!he called the waitress over and asked for a medium steak! Nothing arrived and my mother and I had finished our meal so he just told the waitress to forget his order and we would just get the bill and go!! Enter angry blond woman who tried everything to get him to stay and eat his meal... argued with us over how long we had been waiting!!! Her attitude was very aggressive so I asked her to leave and please stop talking at us!! She accused me of shouting( I wasn't) and informed the room exactly how rude I was! We went to pay at the bar... no mention of food fiasco... no sorry for your meal etc... just give us this much and good bye!!!! This is not the first negative review I've read and heard since the new owners took over! Completely ruined an always pleasant place to eat!
