A real fan of this riverside pub in the heart of Cambridge. It's pretty compact inside and you might have to wait for a table at busy times but tables turn quite quickly here so you won't have to wait too long. For real ale fans there is a great selection of beers from regular to craft..more than you can shake a stick at! Quality food menu with everything from Caesar salad to Jerk Chicken, all well cooked and given how busy it was delivered to the table quickly. It's dog friendly inside too! On a warm day the drinking area extends beyond the bridge and onto the grass outside, so pack a picnic blanket if that weather's good!!

Below average pub. This pub is only suitable if you want takeaway drinks to enjoy by the river. There is a weird smell inside and the tables/chairs are not comfortable. Some are broken and make noises.

Nice location by the river, plenty of character, not loads of room but if you can find a table then it's a win.

I’ll recommend skipping food, though the pub itself is cozy and dog friendly. One of the stars goes to a customer’s puppy. Very very slow service. We waited for an hour for chips and sausages and a pie. The kitchen is busy with a big group they say… I could have come next time if they told me honestly when we were ordering food. But no warning at all. With the time I might be able to bring the ingredients home and cook and bring them back 🙃 The man taking order is confused with the menu and order. The lady said she’ll check with the kitchen but never came back. I was told the steak pie was not available after putting down order — what a disappointment. Chicken and ham hock and leek pie is mediocre at most. The crust is too hard. I felt it’s going wrong when I poke my knife into it. The knife failed to break through top, twice. The filling is alright, creamy but not too heavy, though I’d prefer more substantial leek. The mash is nice and not too oily. The potato skin is quite burnt and sad. The gorgozonla unexpectedly came in a liquid form. The sweet potato wrongly ordered, but they are not bad.

Such a lovely old pub with character. Very busy but lots of staff. Food cooked to order and tasty meals , but unfortunately not everything available on menu which is a shame for a Saturday. Quite squashed as small area but very lovely location and charming

Cracking pub with a great atmosphere and excellent ales but..... the service is diabolical. Forgot the coffee my wife ordered and it took them half an hour to produce a bowl of fries. It wasn't even busy.

I really like this place. Been here a couple of times and it is excellent for brunch. Extra points for the buttons we use to call the waiters. And there’s a mill inside which is a nice touch.

Fare range of beverages good location. Very near grass park. Friendly staff. Toilets were nearly black in the women's.

Small pub with limited food menu (but tasty). No real ciders when we visited. Good for quick lunch next to river but disappointingly small view of it. Lovely spot though. Very helpful landlord explained our route.

Very nice, cozy place by the river. Food and service are good. It's usually crowded because it's close to the punting start spot. The atmosphere is good. Only cards accepted.

This is a really cute pub by the water. Lots of character and very busy. They have a record player where you can select an LP and change the music yourself. The prices are okay, but the food experience overall was poor. Unfortunately over cooked and dry - chicken wings and halloumi fried. The chips and mac & cheese bites were okay though. I would visit again the atmosphere is nice, but would not order food there.

Well. It has been almost a year. And with expectations set high I brought 3 family members to sample the Sunday roast. And The Mill did not disappoint. Coping well with our requests. The Mill is a customer orientated pub. The roast beef with the veg and sides was superlative. And what is it about The Mill gravy? It is something special. We were very happy with the service and the food. This is a real Cambridge Town pub. There is nothing like it. As to the menu: There is something for every age and persuasion. Glad we came back. Keep doing what you are doing. See you soon.

Great service from the bar staff very polite and friendly 👍

Best pub in central Cambridge

Polite service, lovely ambience great meal and cold beer, what more do you want. Good pub grub, small choice on menu, but adequate.

Reading the reviews this is definitely a Jekyll and Hyde pub. We had the surly, couldn't be bothered staff, seemed they'd all had a big row and hated the place and each other. And the food was the worst I've ever been served, ever! Very badly microwaved solid pakoras, undercooked chewy lentils and rice, I couldn't eat it, nothing to recommend it, even the beer was sour! No one in the bar at all when we left so we couldn't even tell them how disappointed we were. Only redeeming feature, the girl brought the dog a bowl of water!

The service is excellent.

We did a little stop at Cambridge for a Sunday roast with my family whilst travelling back to london and we were lucky enough to try The Mill. The pub is really atmospheric, ideal for a little walk by the river. The food was truly exceptional. I had one of the best roasts ever! We highly recommend this place.

Pub on the river, atmospheric. Great to see a vinyl record player knocking out the tunes. Good range of beers including Adnams. Bar meals, fish and chips burgers. Indoor seating for around 20. I would return again cosy, comfortable and good service

Outstanding. Me and my partner came here for a Sunday roast and have to say it was the best roast both of us have ever had. Great vegan option for my girlfriend (mushroom wellington) which was delicious. large range of all largers and a great atmosphere to top it off. staff are really friendly and perfect portion sizes. i couldn't recommend more and will be one hundred percent returning !!!

Every table was marked as reserved, but there were no people for two hours? Somehow they managed to fit us in anyway. It is a fantastic place to be, wonderful music playing - old British rock - and a lot is happening outside. Go there, if you can get a table. :)

Stopped by for a swift pint, a pleasant pub.

The Sunday roast was delicious, lots of vegetables and not overcooked. The service was really quick and the barstaff were friendly. Love the location too

the kimchi chicken burger was a little dry and tasteless. the chips were above average, crispy and lightly salted

This pub has an excellent selection of beers but unfortunately was unable to cater for us today. The menu on the website is much more extensive than the one available when you arrive, with no pizzas or kids menu. While the atmosphere was good for a pint, wouldn't recommend for a family meal.

A nice river side pub but another cashless venue under big brother surveillance. Good pint of Barsham Norfolk Topper citrus ale st 3.8%. Casta and Jorvic think the pint is micro chipped.

Nice pub, good selection of beers. WiFi unnecessarily difficult to sign up to.

Reasonable prices helpful and friendly staff delicious menus 👍🏼👍🏼

No refund. I believe that location is the only reason why this place might be busy. It is certainly not for the welcome from friendly staff! I was disinterestedly allowed us to buy drinks before being informed that food orders were no longer being taken. I was initially impressed when the manager offered to refund my drinks. Regrettably I have still been charged. No refund has appeared on my account. I telephoned to ask what had happened. Promised a call back. Still waiting. Hence lowest score. Mistakes happen. It is how they are dealt with that matters. As this is a cashless pub I suggest that, should you decide to visit, that you get a receipt for everything and check your bank statements.

Lovely roast dinner here! Plus excellent staff. The young lady behind the bar, Libby, was very accommodating of our needs/wants and offered us a great range of drinks. Top service. Compliments to the chef too. Best roast dinner you will find!

Quite slow service although expected due to how busy it was so wasn’t too much of an issue for us. Great set of bartenders here, good knowledge, friendly and up for a chat. Superb fish and chips. Will definitely be visiting again

Booked a table to eat there on a Friday evening before going to a concert. The table wasn't ready when I arrived at the booked time so I had to wait at the bar while a table was prepared. The menu was much shorter than the sample menu on the website and contained only 4 mains, three of which were types of burger. I ordered a chicken burger (£14), which seemed to be a high quality burger with real (unprocessed) chicken and a good breadcrumb coating, but unfortunately it had been overcooked to a burnt crisp, and was barely edible. They have a good selection of beers and the barmen were fine.

Great pub for drinking. The bartender was amazing - the keg finished half way through the beer and the beer was on the house. Ive also had food here before and their basic menu eslecially the fish and chips was top notch.

Really lovely vibes here: on the river, cute cosy decor, good selection of drinks. What let The Mill down was the food. As someone from London even I found the price super high, especially for the quality of the food. The menu was quite limited and normally I’d expect a small menu to mean what they do do is done very well. The nachos were £13 and not very flavourful, it seemed a bit like the toppings were store bought (like those tubs of guac that are super smooth haha) and the squid was flavourless and you only got 4ish bits for £9. Shame!

Excellent food and excellent ale. Pleasant atmosphere. If I ever return to Cambridge, I shall definitely eat and drink there.

Great little pub. With friendly and helpful staff. Plus right near the river so somewhere nice to seat outside on a nice day.

Solid pub/casual dinner option in Cambridge right on the river. Beautiful spot on a pretty day. Food is solid, but probably won’t blow you away. Would come back!

Excellent food and beer. Staff was very friendly and the charm of the bar was top notch.

Lovely location. But food was very disappointing - bread for sandwiches was so dry and hard, halloumi fries over cooked. Girl at bar needed reminding that one meal was for coeliac. Staff lacked any kind of personality or even a smile. Was expecting it to be much nicer than it was.

I’d highly recommend The Mill for drinks or food to takeaway and eat/drink overlooking the river cam! The service is quick and speedy - but beware… they’re always busy!! However, it is always worth the wait!

Interior closed because of COVID. You can order and drink outside, which is nice if and only if the weather is nice.

Great atmosphere but didn’t like the food

Rustic but a bit pricey.

Good quality food.

It's tiny and charming. It's great in the summer when you can take your drink out and sit near the water. I've not eaten anything there, but I will try something and come back with an updated review!

Quintessential Cambridge experience!

Great atmosphere, totally recommend.

Great pub, great staff, very knowledgeable.

(Translated by Google) The service staff is very kind and the price is reasonable! (Original) 服務人員很親切，價格合理！

Lovely atmosphere for everyone to enjoy ?

Not a bad little pub . Nice boaty lake right outside. And very nice people. .

Nice pint and atmosphere but a tad pricey

Very nice pub in a fantastic location by the river Cam. Its sells a decent selection of real ales and ciders which can be consumed outside providing you use a plaster beaker. The food is above average too so on the whole this is well worth a visit particularly on a sunny day when you can sit outside on the grassy areas. Only small downside is that it can get very busy but the friendly staff are pretty effective at dealing with the numbers.

Lovely pub. Beer is good. Feels great around Christmas time as decorations are on display

Nice selection of beers and playing classic Stevie Wonder on vinyl when we were there.

Lovely place, not too difficult to park (for Cambridge, I mean), nice food, good prices.

Traditional. You can't get much more traditional of a British pub than The Mill it is a picture of historic charm and a pubbery place to hang out. Situated on the river Cam with friendly staff and great beer, ale, and cider choices. I especially like the lighting and lack of modern updates to the place.

Always a good selection of ales in this popular pub, and a lovely place to take your beer outside and watch Cambridge life walk, cycle and punt past.

Should really be 5 stars but can be too busy. Which shows how lovely this pub is. Have had good beer previously and returned for post dinner glass of red last weekend. Lovely cosy vibe.

The food here is great, they have a good selection of beer on tap, and the service was friendly

Delicious food and the best selection of real ales I found in Cambridge. Great staff and a truly yummy fish and chips.

Nice atmosphere and nice dog treatment with couple pints of Ale is fantastic...

We visited The Mill on a day trip to Cambridge! We all order Sunday roasts. Reasonable prices and good roast. Vegetables were all on the al dente side but I believe that’s the chef’s choice they seemed steamed rather than boiled. I liked them but may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Overall great experience. Not a lot of seating so make sure you get in there early.

Cambridge institution in a quintessential location. Always a beer that you haven't had before!

Nice atmosphe- a bit pricy

Timeless supping

Great pub

Classic English pub ...very cozy, warm ,with o variety of beers...great food, wonderful location

good beer and food. close to the river and punts.

This is a perfect example of a mediocre pub sitting on its laurels in an idyllic location. The atmosphere is difficult to describe. It is too cold in winter and too dark in summer. Best to visit in spring, summer and autumn and enjoy the bridge over the cam outside. That's the only reason to visit. Avoid in the winter. There is a decent variety of birth keg and cask beers; however, they are extremely expensive. My partner ordered the Cajun Chicken sandwich. It was terrible. The quality of the chicken was poor, there was lots of gristle and cartilage; it certainly wasn't breast or thigh meat. There was no flavour other than the mayonnaise and it was served very cold. When we provided this feedback to the staff we were told that this is the way they store the chicken. I've had catering jobs and recognize the safety requirements when preparing and storing poultry; however I do not think it is unreasonable to expect food to be prepared fresh or at least served around room temperature. My partner could not finish her meal. We were not offered a replacement meal or a partial refund. The cheeseburger is satisfactory. They use Monterey Jack cheese, which I like but may not be to your preference. There are much better burgers in Cambridge. The staff are surly and somewhat rude, however, I suspect this may be because they are rushed and understaffed. If a barrel needs replacing this can and often does put service out of action for up to 10 minutes. It's such a shame that so many of the pubs in Cambridge's most perfect locations are so underwhelming. Looking at you too, Fort St George. Better local alternatives include The Anchor on Silver St and Millworks on Newnham Rd.

Very busy. Price of a pint outrageous £4.60 for a 4.5% a.b.v. Coffee however was a very reasonable £2.50.

Excellent ales in good condition

(Translated by Google) Nice setting, we eat well, we drink well. The staff are very pleasant and easy to understand when you are not fluent in English. The prices are affordable. (Original) Cadre sympa, on mange bien, on boit bien. Le personnel est tres agréable et facile à comprendre quand on ne maîtrise pas trop l anglais. Les prix sont abordables.

Love bar and atmosphere

Good beers, but small

My friend made a reservation but they didn't have a table reserved for us. We also heard another group complaining about the same thing. Their pub quiz is also insanely difficult and not a whole lot of 'fun'. Their app system is also really confusing.

first place i ever got drunk when i was a student in high school and we toured europe with the chicago youth symphony orchestra. I mean that's worth 5 stars isn't it

Fantastic Pub, be sure to show your Cambridge University ID if you have it for a 10% discount on food! The food is generally of a good quality, and they usually have some vegetarian options, as well as the standard pub grub that you would expect. Ambience is excellent, wooden fittings throughout, and in summer, you can get a pint or food to go, then enjoy it by the river.

Loved this pub as an undergraduate and its still as lively 30 years later.

Popped in for a hot drink, busy lively pub. Lot of tables reserved but managed to get a table. Nice atmosphere, would pop in again

Mulled wine in a cold day.....blues music .....hot pie....what else could you want?!!!!!

Very accommodating chef, they prepared a salad for me that wasn’t in the menu. Thank you! Kind and friendly staff. I was able to bring my dog pet in. Good prices.

45 mins for food to arrive. Food was hot but dry at the top so very likely microwaved or sat at the pass for most of the 45 mins.
