We had a lovely roast dinner there today. Friendly staff, they were lovely and entertained my 11 month old. Good baby change facilities. Good roast dinner, nice size portions and reasonably priced. Thank you!

Returned after a year or so. The interior and exterior are very nice. We sat outside this time. Mixed impressions from all 3 of us. When we order staff got a bit stressed with my indecisive friend. Drinks took some time to arrive and sent to a wrong table. My "light" version of the steak was super light , and the baked potato not too tasty. My friends orders were spot on- good size portions. Staff at the bar very friendly and helpful. Bathroom need deep cleaning or redecorating.

Great food and very fair prices. Bit of a gem in Hitchin as many of the town centre restaurants and pubs don’t offer such a good menu. Polite and friendly staff which adds to a nice atmosphere. Definitely coming back when we visit again 🙂

Exactly what you want in a pub. Cozy atmosphere. Great service. One of the best Sunday roasts to be had in Hitchin. Honestly will have dreams about this roast. Good selection of draughts from a couple of local breweries, all of which can be enjoyed with river views.

We went here for a Sunday lunch after watching a theatre show in Hitchin and was not disappointed. The meals were great value and we were surprised at how nice they were. There were 6 of us and we all had the Sunday lunch. The meat was tender and the vegetables were cooked well. The service was fast considering how busy the pub was. If I am back in the area I would return.

Super friendly from the first to the last minute. We was served by Erin, who was happy to help with all our needs especially when it came to the twins! All staff involved were brilliant. So we had 6 adults and the twins (4 yr olds) who got crayons even before they could think! We had a 3 course meal ( most of us) they checked in with us all between each course after we had chance to try it - not before! And each course I have to say ( I’m very very fussy and not easily pleased much to the horror of my loved ones ) was beautiful! The rack of ribs and the skin on fries home made style slaw was heaven perfection on my plate mate!. There was great variety to choose from ( decision on dessert was tricky but I did it ) the atmosphere was warm light not bright! Welcoming light back ground music. The bar tender was honest courteous the waitresses were all well mannered and nothing was too much trouble. So to cut the long story short , yes I would recommend this nice pub/restaurant yes I would definitely go again and yes I really enjoyed it . Only down side was I had to go home. Nice one millstream

Great pub, beautiful surroundings, decent food for a fair price, free parking. Only let down was service on the day was very slow and not very attentive despite not being busy, I think they may have had new staff or short staff. Would definitely recommend though.

I edited my review down a star, let me explain! In summer we love hanging out here in the garden, the food is amazing especially the Sunday roasts and the staff are lovely, really enjoyed the live music in the garden that happened sometimes... But it's winter at the moment and dogs aren't allowed inside. It would be great if we could bring the dog inside, just into one part of the bar to shelter from the cold and rain... we would be there all the time!

Good food with a nice beer garden. Standard pub food at reasonable prices, we didn’t go inside but the outside seating is very pleasant.

We went for a quick bite to eat on Saturday night. We hadn't made a booking but they fitted us in. We sat at a nice table and the atmosphere was lovely. Our waitress, Erin was amazing. She was very professional and friendly and looked after our every need. She is definitely an asset to this pub. The food came out quickly and was hot and tasted very nice. Would definitely recommend this place.

Not a great experience - but disappointing. They did their best to accommodate us when running late. Food wasn't hot. Roast potatoes were a bit to crispy and hard to cut and the roast pork was dry. Beef was good. Desserts were fine. No bad gluten free menu. Service was a bit slow. Eaten there before with no issues but a few years ago.

A family party of 8. Table service very good and friendly. Food was excellent. Comfortable seats and suitable table in alcove. Pleasant decor and grounds poetry next to the millstream fire a peaceful walk. Lots of seats outside. Great place only a short distance from centre of Hitchin and Train station

Very nice atmosphere, good starters and nice main, had the steak and chicken, requested a jacket potato but received chips instead, however they were fairly quick on resolving this, overall very pleasant dining experience and good range of food

Had our lunch here whilst waiting for our son to finish his college audition at the nearby performing arts college. The atmosphere was relaxed and chilled, the waiting staff welcoming and friendly , the food absolutely delicious and the drinks on point. Definitely worth having a meal when you happen to be in Hitchin.

Nice seating area outside. Tasty food. Chicken platter was great. Prompt service. Wish there was more hummus in the hummus bowl!

Lovely place and I know it's more a chicken/steak place but I'm vegan and went with a group of meat eaters who wanted to eat there. Unfortunately I ordered the vegan Chick'n steak or whatever it was called as it looked interesting. When it arrived it looked like a big standard quorn fillet which was hard & chewy like it had been over microwaved with the smallest portion of peas and French Fries I've ever seen, no sauce, salad or anything to make it more interesting, all for over a tenner. Needless to say I had to drench it in ketchup & mustard to give it a bit of flavour. If I go out to eat, I expect something better than I would have at home, not worse.

Discovered this place a few months ago now, impressed on our first visit and said I would be back, so our second time here, and just like the first time, excellent in every way, service, food and overall ho well we was looked after. Will be coming back that's for sure.

Service here on the 16th Dec 22 was fab! It was super busy, we (table of 6) were a little worried that would affect the service however they kept the drinks flowing. We ordered from the festive menu, which was lovely. We also came for the festive menu on the 7th Dec 22 (table of 7) loved it so much we rebooked for the 16th. We will deffo be back. Cocktails are lush Here.

Been frequenting this pub for year's, always had lovely food. But came here for a birthday meal in July and it was terrible, Hunters chicken was so tough my son couldn't eat it my daughter's chicken breast was so dry she couldn't cut through it.. the veg on the roast dinners was practically raw and difficult to cut through. We were offered a discount and the staff were ok with the complaints. We don't know why the food has taken such a nose dive , but it's a shame as we probably wouldn't return on the strength of this visit.

Been to the mill stream many times. Way before it become what it is now. Always had a great experience Although the visit today wasn’t a great experience at all. The food was brilliant couldn’t fault it but the service was awful. When I walked in there were a few staff standing around, this isn’t a problem especially so close to when the pub opened. This doesn’t helped with what then happened. We had finished our meals for at least 15 minutes before anyone came over to ask if we were done. Even though other tables around us had just come on and you could see we had finished with our mains. When we were eventually seen too, we were asked if we wanted deserts. We said yes please. That they would come back with the menus and take away our plates. To put it in perspective they took away a few plates and obviously it was a lot to take them all. Make sense. 25 minutes late no one had come back. I got up and walked to the front to pay for the meal. I was really annoyed as on waking back there were still staff standing around. Admittedly when I asked about experience I said it was s***. I was so annoyed. Again I could have used a different term but I’ve never know this pub to be bad. Although I do appreciate the job the chefs had done. The staff member tried to take me to one side when I then said I wanted to cancel a party we had booked in January for 16 people. To me this was the only time the ears pricked up. Would I go again no way. Shame really but wouldn’t go back.

Food was lovely as always, gorgeous establishment. Little bit of a wait for the food but worth it, and understandable with how popular the pub is. Would highly recommend.

Lovely place, loved the outside sitting with its decorations from the old mill. Went last 3rd September afternoon for a well deserved pint with my work colleagues. Not giving 5 stars as while the waiter was serving our beers he dropped beer on the table and instead of topping it up he asked me if I would be alright. Remember to keep excellent customers experience!
