Mill at Elstead

The River Wey flows underneath this beautifully located former watermill ' you can see the preserved waterwheel rotating through a glass floor in the main bar. The terrace looks out over the water, and a millpond with waterfowl and willow completes the bucolic scene. Inside, a series of rambling linked bar areas on the spacious ground floor have big windows that make the most of the view; there's an upstairs restaurant too. You'll find brown leather armchairs and antique engravings by a longcase clock, neat modern tables and dining chairs on bare boards, big country tables on broad ceramic tiles, iron pillars, stripped masonry and a log fire in a huge inglenook. Fullers ESB and London Pride and guests from breweries such as Hogs Back on handpump, 21 wines by the glass, several malt whiskies and 30 gins; background music, board games and TV. 'Shakespeare in the Garden' is a popular summer diversion.
