The location, the hotel and the room was excellent. Everything was all very clean and the our room cleaned well everyday. The food in the restaurant was excellent. The service in the restaurant was not so good. I felt the staff didn't look around enough to see what was happening and when they were quieter, they weren't clearing tables. 12% service charge seems excessive when the service was below par. For both meals we had, we had to go to the bar to pay our bill, as we were unable to get the attention of a member of staff. We would definitely recommend the Mill for a show and meal. We literally turned up that day and amazingly they had some tickets.
