Harden's survey result
Summary
“A bit quirky, but it has a lot class as well” – this scenic, 700-year-old mill on the River Tas was once home to the business that became Colman’s Mustard, and since 2013 under Ludo and Andy Rudd has been restored to be a restaurant of some ambition. There is an à la carte menu, or go the whole hog and have the 7-course tasting menu for £75. Top Menu Tip – “the best Sunday lunch for miles”.
Summary
“A very professional operation, run to a high standards” – this picturesque, converted old mill on the River Tas (dating from 700 years ago) was once home to the business that became Colman’s Mustard. “A very good option for a fine Sunday lunch at a fair price”.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Owner's description
For 700 hundred years there has been a Mill of one kind or another across the River Tas at Stoke Holy Cross
The Restaurant has recently undergone major refurbishment with attention to detail retaining the full character of the building.
In 1814 Jeremiah & James Colman moved into the Mill starting the production of Mustard, which today is famous all over the world. When the business outgrew the mill, COLMANS moved to Carrow where they still thrive today.
