We were enchanted when on our holiday we first clapped eyes on the white Georgian Mill House, swathed in bright spring flowers. We enjoyed our light lunch in this picturesque restaurant, eaten overlooking the lilypond complete with heron and kingfisher. So we booked for that evening. A lovely waitress - we have found all Brunning & Price Front-of-House staff efficient and charming. But our food? I ordered fish pie - and after a long wait got instead a little stack of very dry fish with 'wooden prawns' Though hot itself, it stood in a lake of almost-cold creamy sauce - but nothing to mop or eat it with. It was NOT a PIE! The waitress changed it for a Morrocan chicken - but that was uneatable, too... I have never been disappointed like this in any of the other five Brunning & Price pubs I have frequently visited. My husband had to leave a wholly uncooked whole shallot and tough cabbage, though hunger drove him to eat his non-unctuous ox cheek. The waitress insisted that we do not pay for our meal - even the wine, though we were quite prepared to. We were very grateful to her, but SO disappointed to leave that enchanting restaurant hungry... Can only conclude the chef arrived late and rushed...
