| Totally overated overpriced pub with poor service. The price we paid for our meal should have had table service. A total scandal and rip off 2/10! montie49 - 28 Aug 2011 11:18 |
| Love this pub every time that I have visited the staff have been friendly and welcoming and the view over the river exe is great. Nice ale on offer here aswell enjoyed a nice refreshing pint of rattler cider. alan508 - 24 Oct 2010 18:30 |
| Situated on the banks of where Exeter Canal meets the River Exe is the imaginatively named Mill on the Exe, a former mill where corn and paper was produced in times long gone. We learn that there has been a mill here since the middle of the 16th century and that wool, corn and then paper had been produced here at various times. The mill closed in July 1967 and was converted to a pub in 1983. It's a large, rambling affair set over 2 floors with much exposed brickwork, wood floors and beams and what looks like an addition to the building in the form of a conservatory at the front. There's a landscaped garden / terrace at the front with different seating areas where you can watch the waters flow by, and a predictably large car park. It's a family restaurant type of place with large A3 size folded menus and condiments on most tables. The usual range of starters, grills, sharing platters and children's menus is on offer along with teas, coffees, latte, cappuccino etc. There's the inevitable chainy, impersonal feel that you would expect with staff dressed in corporate black shirts. It's a St Austell's Brewery pub and beers on were Proper Job, IPA, and 2 pumps for Tribute. The Proper Job - £ 3.00p - was an excellent pint and I remember thinking at the time that it was the best pint of the holiday so far. A CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2009 sticker was spotted, but the pub is not in the 2010 edition. I don't normally like places like this, but I have to say that my food arrived promptly, was well cooked and presented and did the business perfectly. The beer, as noted, was excellent and it was pleasant sitting outside afterwards ( on table number 506 ) watching the river go by. I'd happily come here again, but probably not just for a drink.

| Quick pint of St.Austell Tribute here yesterday, beer in very good condition and a nice seat in the sunshine overlooking the weirs. Shame I didn't have longer. Hodge1 - 10 Sep 2010 08:39 |
| Used to sell St.Austell 4X mild here, not any more, but the beer is still good and the gardens over looking the River Exe are fantastic. A great place to spend a sunny afternoon supping ale about 10 mins walk from St.Davids station. Hodge1 - 12 Apr 2009 15:06 |
