A food-oriented pub in an old watermill on the River Ver, with a modern motel next door. The ground floor features three separate bar areas where drinks, snacks and meals can be enjoyed. Although the building last operated as a mill in 1916, the waterwheels are encased and can still be viewed inside the building - an impressive sight. Outside there are pleasant gardens alongside the river and a pond populated by geese and ducks, making the pub popular with young families. Dogs are welcome in the garden and the non-carpeted bar areas. Despite being very nearby, the M25 motorway is well screened and surprisingly unintrusive. Although there has recently been no cask ale available, it is planned to serve Sharps Doom Bar (September 2026). Formerly a Beefeater now a Queensway Inn (Sept 2026).

Historic Interest

There are historical links for the mill dating back to 1086, but it was rebuilt in 1762, which is when the current Grade II-listed building dates back to. It closed as a working mill in 1916 and was used as a home for many years until it was converted into a pub in 1992. Originally operated by Regent Inns, the site was acquired by Whitbread in 1998, remodelled inside, rebranded as a Beefeater, and a Travel Inn budget motel was built next door (since modernised and rebranded as a Premier Inn). In 2026 the pub changed hands again when Whitbread took the decision to close all Beefeaters, and it was acquired by Queensway Inns. The water wheel and many of the old internal workings remain intact and on display within the pub. The building narrowly escaped demolition when a stretch of the M25 motorway was constructed very nearby in the 1980s.
