We took Walter and Mavis to the Egypt Mill Hotel and Restaurant in Nailsworth for evening dinner. We arrived a touch before 8pm and were quickly seated in this Cotswold stone built Mill. The place was already busy with fellow diners. Mavis went for a Parma Ham starter, Dusty opted for Thai Fish Cakes and I went for the Chicken Livers with mushrooms. All were priced at around £6.00 and were very good indeed. For mains, I went for Shirleys Steak and Kidney pudding, Dusty went for pan fried Chicken, Walter opting for slow roast Belly Pork and Mavis having a peppered rib eye steak. These were broadly priced around the £14.00 mark and were excellent value indeed. Well cooked, beautifully presented and accompanied by fresh seasonal vegetables. Washed down with a decent Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon for Mavis and I, with a Guinness for Walter and a chilled sparkling water for Dusty (guess who was driving).
We were seated behind the original and still functioning water wheel which was a great backdrop to a very nice evening.
