The Mill

(££) *** The Mill (Mill Lane), popular with students who buy beer in plastic glasses to sit on the banks of the nearby Mill Pond, is also a pleasant and central place to sit inside in the winter months. It has old wooden tables, and a diverse selection of beers. For a convenient, central drink after work, you could do much worse. We prefer the Mill to its obvious local rival, The Anchor (Silver Street), which has had a fairly generic redecoration, and caters to a more obnoxious crowd.
