Food and drink at Oundle Mill

Hotel restaurant
Star chef Gavin Austin leads the culinary charge in Upstairs at the Mill, an elegant and understated (despite the violet crushed velvet seating) restaurant serving Modern European fare. There’s a less formal gastropubby menu available in the hotel bar, Downstairs at the Mill.
- Dress code Elegant upstairs; relaxed and rustic downstairs.
- Top table Ask for table 10 if you're dining downstairs – it’s set beside the window and looks over the lock.
- Last orders Food-wise, lunch can be had between midday and 2.30pm and dinner from 6.30pm–9.30pm. The bar serves residents around the clock.
- Room service The full restaurant menu is available during kitchen opening hours; at other times there’s a selection of light snacks.

Hotel bar
Downstairs at the Mill provides a decidedly rustic combination of oak beams and stone walls, brought up to date by sleek black Italian tables and soft kilt sofas.

Our favourite rooms
For 180º views downstream, book straight into the Lucom room. It’s a split-level timber-framed cabin on the rooftop that juts out over the front of the mill – definitely not one for vertigo sufferers. The bed seems to hover above a rich red carpet and original beams criss-cross the ceiling. The Mill Room is larger, with views across the Northamptonshire farmland and a free-standing Castello pebble bath beside the huge platform bed.
Packing tips
A head for heights if you’re booked into the Lucom, otherwise bring boots for walking, rods for fishing, and appetites for the good life.
Also
The land around the Mill is ideal for rustic rambles and wildlife spotting (red kites are a regular fixture) and the fact the River Nene is on the doorstep makes messing about in boats an attractive possibility.
