The staff were friendly, the beer and food was very tasty and reasonably priced. We came in early spring and there had been quite a lot of rain, but we still had a lovely walk over the river and back.

Shame we were one of only two tabk s of diners. Food served was excellent, service was good, parking good but the pub was nearly empty. Limited menu, what was available was really nice. It was a Tuesday night in February so the lack of clientele was only to be expected. Lovely location, would certainly return at a busier period.

Every time I’ve been here the food has always exceeded my expectations. Today I had the river mill burger which was one of the best burgers I have had. The rosemary salted chips were the best I’ve ever had. I’m gluten intolerant and the menu caters for me and other dietary requirements which is excellent. My only criticism is that the range of gluten free options seems to have drastically reduced recently. There used to be a separate gluten free menu which they no longer have. The symbols have been incorporated into the main menu. This is fine but I found the small plate selection for GF extremely lacking. I would still recommend going but maybe not for small plates/tapas as a GF person.

Went to the River Mill for the works crimbo doo a week ago. The bar area was really nice, the staff were very pleasant and helpful.We were upstairs for the meal and it was well laid out, food was really nice. I found it rather hot upstairs as did a few others and for some reason they had a disco blasting out for the start of the meal, which, tbh, I found really off putting and ruined the whole evening. No-one was dancing so I didn't really see the point.Apart from that, it was a really nice place to go.The car park isn't very big so we made sure we were early to get a spot.

First time at The River Mill as we're moving to the area and we'll definitely be back - an absolutely exceptional Sunday roast dinner with my hubby and in-laws, we ordered roast lamb, turkey and beef between us and all were mouthwatering. Really reasonably priced, and we had brilliant service - really friendly and polite. Only downside was nothing on the dessert menu came with custard and it's winter so would have been a nice option. But everything was delicious so haven't knocked down the food score. It wasn't particularly busy despite being a Sunday so it feels like a hidden gem that others need to discover. Well definitely be booking again when we move house soon.

Went with my visiting family as a party of 8 (including my baby granddaughter). The service was amazing, the food was fantastic and the atmosphere was fabulous - so good that my 3 month old granddaughter fell asleep and wasn't fazed at all). Excellent visit and lovely walk along the river afterwards. Ver highly recommended ?.

Second time we have been to this restaurant. I recommend booking in advance. Lovely setting along the river. Today's Sunday lunch was very good and we all enjoyed our visit.The only reason we didn't give a 5 star rating is we all agreed the roast potatoes need improvement. Personally I would like the gravey in a gravey boat so that it can be applied to the meal more sparingly.All in all will be back in the future. Thank you all.

The staff were so pleasant and polite, and the food was amazing. The vegetarian roast was the best I’ve had. Really pleased we chanced it, highly recommend, bonus that dogs are welcome too.Vegetarian options: Both vegan and vegetarian options available throughout the menu.

Second time here, and both have been lovely. Had the small plates last time around (three for me) and a roast beef yesterday. I must say, although a year apart I remember the food from the first time like it was yesterday. Speaking of which - the best roast beef I have had for a long time was yesterday's meal. Even the gravy was proper. All topped off with service with a smile.

The best part of Autumn is Leigh’s Sunday lunch ! The roast beef was the best! My husband had the pork rib which was also brilliant . Margaret Ann was as always so friendly and efficient.
First-time visitors to this lovely place. Food was delicious and the staff were all great ? Made for a lovely atmosphere and we really enjoyed our visit. Food was well cooked and presented, so top marks all round ladies ? looking forward to our next visit when we are down St Neots way again.

We attended the comedy night. Very much a funny night with a good curry. The comedians did great to interact with the crowd and read the audience.

Had roast dinner which was excellent, and staff were lovely as usual. Don’t usually like to out for roast dinner as never as good as mine, but this was really tasty, not many places that do a good roast these days, so try a roast at the rivermill, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed

Had a great lunch at the River Mill, stunning surroundings and very friendly and efficient staff. Had one of the best burgers I’ve ever had- BBQ Pulled Pork Beef Burger with perfectly crispy shell, soft core fries. Looking forward to getting back there hopefully on a warmer day for a cool pint in the sun.Only tiny thing was I wish there was more table and chairs to sit at to eat as as I didn’t find the picnic tables particularly comfortable, but that’s only a minor snag. Really enjoyed my experience today and very reasonably priced for outstanding quality.Parking: Parking right beside, I think approx 5-8 spaces.

This place is ideally situated for a coffee/cake break in the middle of a long walk from St Neots and back. I went there with a friend on Tuesday 12th for exactly that - something we have done more than once before - and previously enjoyed the coffee, the cake and the welcome. On Tuesday 12th, we tried to go in the usual door - which is in the middle of the outdoor seating area - to be told we had to go to the door at the other end of the building and be seated by the staff inside - which we did. Once inside, we had to wait(not that long, it must be said) for (who appeared to be) the manager to finish his conversation with a colleague before noticing us. He asked us to go to the end of the bar to order coffees from the team at the desk (now 1 x metre from the door we were not allowed to use to enter the building). We said we would like to order coffees and cake - and sit outside. We were then told that "Ah - if you want to sit outside, you have to go to the bar to order and pay" Talk about 'wish you hadn't bothered' - and 'how to make customers feel unwelcome'. So we walked all the way back to St Neots and had a very nice coffee from 'Bohemia' - sat outside - order taken at the table - personable server with a sense of humour - lovely coffee - and paid our bill at the table as well! Will we go back to the River Mill? I can't currently think that we would
