“The Miller’s Room” - Private Dining with traditional charm


Henry Challis, the last miller, stopped grinding wheat to start selling beer back in 1904, so the sails are long gone, but the windmill roundhouse still stands and offers the perfect space to celebrate your special occasion and create memorable moments in a very relaxed atmosphere.

The private dining room comfortably seats 10 - 24 guests along one table with your very own lounge area.

“A real find in mid-Essex”, this dining pub showcases “beautifully presented” cooking that’s “bursting with flavour” from Tom Clarke, who trained under Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir and was head chef at L’Ortolan in Reading. He took charge two years ago with his business partner Nancy Witte, also ex-L’Ortolan, who mixes “delicious cocktails” and oversees the front of house in style.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
