I just had a fantastic three course Christmas lunch at The Mill. It was pre-booked for a group of approximately 35 adults. The food was delicious, the service excellent, so well organised. I would highly recommend eating here.

Last minute find and very lucky to nab a table. Staff were just so friendly and went above and beyond to entertain and get things to make the small people happy. Food was exceptional and super fast to arrive. We will definitely be back.

We stopped off here for a late breakfast and we were not disappointed. Lovely food and service. Bacon, sausages, etc were cooked well and were not greasy in any way. Plenty of car parking outside. Handy spot just off the dual carriageway for anyone driving past.

Warm reception, spacious, comfy, modern and great food. Excellent service, our hot food arrived 5 minutes after we ordered. Relaxed atmosphere. The best cafes are always found out of the town centre, case in point The Mill.

This is our favorite breakfast spot in Forfar. Always friendly, consistently great and fresh food and lovely views into the hills. When my mother-in-law, who had Alzheimer’s, would wander in here (she had been going for many years prior to diagnosis) they always treated her with utmost kindness and watched out for her. Truly the best people. Can’t recommend enough.
