Gomshall Mill

About

Nestled in the picturesque village of Gomshall, just a short drive from Guildford, The Gomshall Mill is a stunning 11th‑century Grade II listed building that has been thoughtfully transformed into a riverside pub. After centuries of grinding flour on the flowing River Tillingbourne, the former mill became a post office before being reborn in 2022 as a modern gastropub that still retains its historic timber framing and original stone walls. The pub proudly holds a Gold award from Pub of the Year 2023 and is a flagship venue of the New Dawn Pubs collection. Cuisine is a true celebration of seasonal British produce, with a menu that features award‑winning ales, craft ciders, local wines and an extensive range of dishes, including gluten‑free and vegan options. The team’s commitment to quality, sustainability and friendly service has earned glowing reviews from guests who praise the Sunday roast, the lively live‑music nights and the warm, inviting atmosphere. Beyond its food and drink, the Gomshall Mill is a hub for the surrounding Surrey Hills. It is the starting point for highly‑recommended walking trails such as the Gomshall‑Netley Park Circular, the Abinger Roughs and the Newlands Corner circuit. Visitors are encouraged to explore the village's heritage, nearby vineyards, and local charity events held at the pub. Events range from themed quiz nights to festive celebrations, all of which can be booked online. A small deposit of £15 per person is required for holiday menus (e.g. the Christmas menu) to secure a table. Whether you’re hunting for a relaxed afternoon tea, a hearty dinner or a vibrant music evening, the mill offers something for every taste and time of year.
