The Mill - Boston

We turned up in an unplanned visit as we drive through Boston on the way back from Skegness on a Sunday afternoon. We were lured in by the promise of a Sunday carvery, but this wasn’t available for some unexplained reason. However, we ordered from the menu and were not disappointed. I would recommend the steak and ale pie. Good value, would recommend.

We visited for a mid-week dinner recently, deciding to have a main course then dessert. My husband had ribs which he ate most of but complained some of the meat was burnt and it did seem like some of it may have been left on a hot plate or something. One of the kids had a small bowl of pasta with tomato basil sauce which was ok but a bit pricy for the size of it at about £7. I had a burger which was very nice and one of us had a steak ordered rare. The meat was cooked exactly as requested but the steak itself had an awful lot of fat on it (not just a thin strip down the side that was difficult to cut away from the meat so quite a lot of it was wasted. For desserts we ordered a cheesecake and a portion of profiteroles. The profiteroles were quite small (though the chocolate sauce was divine and, again, seemed expensive when four small profiteroles were about £8. Service was good and overall it was a pleasant meal, if a bit expensive for some elements. I doubt we’d visit again as a family but if invited to attend with friends as a couple maybe wouldn’t turn it down (though my husband wouldn’t order the ribs or steak!

I have had a couple of meals here in the last couple of months and the food is outstanding. The huge choice available made it a difficult choice but all the meals that came out to our table were delicious. I highly recommend it!!

Nice atmosphere, unfortunately the main course of Baked Salmon was a huge let down, cold sauce, and just served with chips and some leaves, hardly a festive main course very disappointed.

Disappointed with our steaks, (3 of us) yesterday, they came cold returned them to the kitchen to reheat but no different on their return, the actual piece of steak can’t fault, no fat, but do like my steak hot. The room looked lovely, decorated for Xmas
