Our annual Christmas get together was beautiful today and enjoyed by the whole family including our grandchildren (3&6) food was delicious as usual and Michelle looked after us with a smile and attention. The other servers were also very helpful when she was busy, even getting a New Years hug from the littlest one! Thanks for a wonderful afternoon Ancaster Mill🥰

We had lunch at the mill today and we found it to be very slow. The food was good but very spaced between courses. It seemed like they were very busy and didn’t have enough servers. The slowness would have been fine but we didn’t any communication about it. Our server topped up my wine before lunch because I had drank it all while waiting, which was very nice but overall it wasn’t the experience we had been expecting for the reputation and the price.

Server had a table of 20 that was seated right after us and was attending to them mostly so we were sort of forgotten about. Not her fault but it made our experience not as good as we would have liked another round of drinks
