| I agree with some of the points that have been made. Although you do know what you are getting as it is a brewery pub. I think these type of pubs will go under as they are expensive and serve micro food. However the millstream is a nice big place and when they have functions it a nice atmosper. Except they do over load on charity events. As a Hitchoneon I have used the Millstream lots in the past and know a wide range of people that do. Most people say the same. Charity nights are a plenty (too a plenty) Quiz nights are ok although it could be done by someone else that currently does it, ( The Landlord is a really nice bloke that is always friendly. The landlords wife on the other hand put me personaly of going in there, She is loud and aggresive, I know for a sure this has put a lot of people off that use to go in. Also a new woman who works the Bar( may be a manager) is the most miserable barmaid ever lived So in a nutshell, expensive place but welcoming with the landlord there, food a bit iffy but ok to eat in a rush, Miserable barmaid/manager and an aggressive wife of the landlord who is extreamly loud.

| To be honest, the 'Millstream' (the name change was a shame, they lost the 100 year history of the place with that) is the best pub in the area. My only 2 pieces of advice would be firstly to drink before you go there - £15 for a bottle of cheap generic Rose in a semi-rural chain pub is an unjustified rip-off. Second point before you go to the Millstream (after you have had a drink at home) is to have something to eat. The food is known locally as "freezer to microwave fare" It is a shame, perhaps the landlord is tied to the brewery and has no choice in charging astronomical prices for cheap wine, and maybe he/she is also limited in the quality of the food menu. Possibly the brewery has a few things to answer for here? I_Like_good_Pubs - 23 Feb 2009 19:17 |
| On positive the actual pub is very nicely decorated and friendly. However not only are the drinks way over priced compared to other pubs in area but complaint is the food. Booked for their Burns Night costing £15 a ticket. Went last year and food was very nice, this year was a disgrace. The portion was small but worse the potato was not even real tasted like Smash! Complained to Landlord wife who admitted it wasnt fresh potato. Lady with me had meal with was first undercooked then got it again burnt. Had to wait approx 30 minutes between courses and gave up waiting for the whisky we all paid for. Lots of people were complaining so know not only one. This was rip off. Left place starving and got food from local take away on way home. andrew1968 - 25 Jan 2009 15:28 |
| Had a fantasic day at the Millstream. The new menu food was lush, the service was second to none. They really treated us like royalty. The drinks are more expensive but well worth it for the great service and atmosphere. well done mac's. Thank you staff. icebaby - 23 May 2008 23:39 |
