A modern brasserie inside an historic mill, Millworks serve a decadent Sunday Lunch right in the heart of Cambridge.

The lovely canalside site gives you a lovely view of the river in a rustic, welcoming setting. Inside is an industrial, cosmopolitan yet comforting atmosphere. In colder months, aim for one of the plush velvet banquettes facing the window or perch by the bar and watch them whip you up a Bloody Mary.

Sunday Lunch at Millside is not to be missed. Served with all the trimmings, there are mouth-watering options such as the roast Dedham Vale rump of beef, or the spiced butternut squash & lentil wellington as a vegan option. Many of the options on the menu can also be made gluten-free or dairy-free, so there is somthing for everyone.

Millworks is nestled in Cambridge, overlooking Mill Pond, and just down the road from the University of Cambridge.

    The restaurant is situated by a river and close to Lammas Land Playground. It offers a spacious setting with child-friendly facilities and serves modern British cuisine. We arrived around noon on a Saturday without a reservation, yet the staff promptly arranged a table for us. I highly recommend the slow-cooked beef short rib. The meat is incredibly tender and juicy, with the fat and tendon melting in your mouth. Pouring the gravy over the mash and beef makes for one of the most delicious dishes I've had in the UK. My partner ordered the pie of the day, which was freshly made. The mac and cheese side dish was generous in portion, easily enough for our three-year-old child. The restaurant features a working watermill, which was a delightful attraction for the children. The staff were exceptionally friendly as well. I would definitely visit again if I find myself in Cambridge. We paid £66 for a family of three. ---

    Millworks is an amazing place, superb service and staff, wonderful 💯 food, including gluten free (low gluten) options, plus relaxing atmosphere. And the history of the place goes back around 5 centuries. Difficult to choose a restaurant in Cambridge as there are so many, but Millworks was a great success for our special family occasion.

    We booked ahead for a combo of Punting down the river and had a meal afterwards... Great day... The river tour was fantastic and we were blessed with the weather too after all the recent rain....The Restaurant was empty when we sat down to eat, so no atmosphere to speak of, but the customer service was spot on.... Nice place...
