Exceptional food! We had the Sikil Pak and the amberjack fish to start, followed by lamb empanada, half the rack of lamb (2 pieces) and the pork. Everything tasted so different and was super flavourful. Service 10/10 friendly, attentive, this restaurant is worthy of its Michelins!

Service was great. We were a party of 3 with regular, regular gluten-free and vegetarian afternoon tea options. Our savoury, scones and sweets were presented on a tiered plates; all pieces were tasty. We enjoyed the Sloane tea offerings which we all drink at home, só it was nice to enjoy it at The Old Mill. We will be returning to enjoy afternoon tea for the next season!
