The Old Mill Bistro
About
Nestled in the picturesque hamlet of Little Petherick, The Old Mill Bistro transforms the historic 16th‑century Old Mill House into a charming gastronomic destination. The family‑run kitchen focuses on the finest Cornish produce – from freshly caught seafood to locally sourced meat and game – served in a modest yet intimate setting. With an AA Rosette for culinary excellence and a suite of awards from the Taste of the West, guests can expect quality dishes that highlight regional flavours. The restaurant also offers a seasonal Sunday lunch menu, and its lush garden beside Little Petherick Creek provides a relaxed spot to enjoy a pre‑dinner drink or a quiet meal.
