A historic mill with a story to tell.
With a history dating back to 1559, The Mill at Rode has seen centuries of change. Once a cloth mill run by the Batten family, the building later became a corn mill before being rescued from dereliction in 1996.
Rumour has it that the colour Royal Blue was first created here — a little piece of local history that makes this place even more special.
Meet Sam & Rachael, your pub landlord and lady.
People and hospitality are at the heart of everything Rachael does, while Sam worked his way from cloakroom attendant to General Manager.
Together, they bring years of experience, a genuine love of hospitality and a shared ambition to make the Mill somewhere people love to return to.
Alongside Head Chef Jamie, whose culinary training includes the Academy of Culinary Arts in 2004, they're building something special.
