Mill House

The Mill House near Chester is the kind of place where the dog clocks the smell before anything else. Fire cooking, smoky air, and the quiet understanding that this stop might involve food… and ideally, sharing.

Set in Broughton Shopping Park, it's an easy, no-fuss place to land after a wander round the shops. The menu leans big and bold. Think flame-cooked steaks, stacked burgers, wings, and proper comfort food with that open-fire edge running through it all. It's hearty, generous, and built for those "we'll just grab something" moments that turn into a full sit-down.

There's plenty of space too, with a beer garden for warmer days and covered seating when the weather does its usual thing. Inside, screens keep the sport ticking over, giving it that relaxed, social pub feel where you can settle in without overthinking it.
