What is it?

A former five-century-old paper mill built over a channel of the river Nadder, in the village of Harnham, on the other side of the meadows. It keeps its beams, its stone walls and the water running beneath the dining room. It serves everything from breakfast to dinner, with light dishes, a British menu and Sunday lunch.

How to get there

On foot, which is the charm of it: from the cathedral close, about ten to twenty minutes along the Town Path, between meadows and with the view of the cathedral that Constable painted. By car, through Harnham, although parking is scarce.

When to go

It opens every day from 8:00. It works as the end of an afternoon walk or as Sunday lunch. Dogs and families are welcome.

What to order: Sunday lunch or something light on the terrace by the water, after the walk across the meadows.
