A Beefeater in an old watermill on the River Ver, with close links to the Premier Inn next door. While the first floor is dedicated to restaurant tables, the ground floor features three separate bar areas where drinks, snacks and light meals can be enjoyed. Although the building last operated as a mill in 1916, the watermill is still functional, and is encased for viewing within the building - an impressive sight. Set up for typical Beefeater fayre, all Premier Inn meals are also taken in the mill restaurant. Outside there are pleasant gardens alongside the river, a pond populated by geese and ducks, and a children's playground, making the pub popular with young families. Despite being very nearby, the M25 motorway is well screened and surprisingly unintrusive.

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). The water wheel is still in operation 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.
