Unfortunately we had a terrible meal here. The burger was inedible, awful quality and over cooked, could barely chew it. The chips however were really good! The falafel was also really dry and flavourless. We told the front of house staff when asked how everything was and the chef came out who then told us they had just taken over last week and were using the previous owners/chefs food up. The chef gave us a complementary drinks as an apology. We paid in full for our meals, which we wish we hadn't as £15.95 for some chips, a burger bun and a small dollop of coleslaw on reflection is awful. The pub itself is really nice with a lovely garden and the staff were all friendly and polite.
We will not be returning to the Watermill. This pub needs more staff when it's busy. The waitress was rushed off her feet when we were there. She forgot about our drinks order, a trip to the bar and a gentle reminder that we had not received our drinks. we got a lot of apologies and the price of the drinks knocked off our bill. The greens I received with my meal had been seasoned with something that resembled curry powder. We had finished our meal and waited for someone to come and clear our table, after 30 minutes we paid and left. The people who we dealt with were all very pleasent but customers service was poor.
Really good find. Would thoroughly recommend.
Desperately needs a refresh. This pub could be fabulous with a truly awesome garden. Unfortunately it's sad and tired.
Great food service and atmosphere. Recommended the pork belly draft and bubble and squeek... Took me back to my childhood
