Old Mill Tea Rooms - Christchurch

I had a very pleasant time enjoying a morning coffee at this restaurant. The coffee was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the restroom was clean. The view overlooking the water was also very nice.

I would caution against visiting on weekends as the restaurant is run by children and the food is terrible. Several people have complained about various issues, but overall the food is consistently bad. I have been there multiple times, but I do not think I will be returning.

Lovely traditional tea rooms in a prime position with nice coffee, lots of ice cream choices and friendly hard working staff. Clearly cherished by the locals who pointed out the breakfast deals. Very dog friendly, our corgi felt very much at home, with a large full water bowl provided. Spaces inside and out to enjoy the views of the boats swans and ducks along the river. Lots of parking options within 5 minute radius.

Lovely location, but service so slow, worst 'latte ' i have ever had, bland ice cream, un mixed/blended 'thick ' shake which took an absolute age to make, all whilst listening to the staff outback talking about what mugs the customers are for paying £6.95 for a £1 pizza, plus some unbelievable staff belittling when someone asked where to find a particular ice cream flavour. Keep your money in your pocket and find somewhere else to eat.

Disappointed. Trying to pass off some inferior ice cream as New Forest Ice Cream.
