Mill Inn, Aldeburgh

I really liked this multi-roomed Adnams pub situated across the road from the 17th century Moot hall and seafront gardens. If you enter from the sea facing side then you walk through two front areas mainly aligned for dining before reaching the bar and an additional two areas which are more set up just for drinking. A nice Creme and sea blue decor throughout and plenty of period black and white photos of the local area to provide some character. 4 Adnams ales were on with the usual Broadside, Southwold Bitter and Ghostship, but I went for the Regatta golden ale and very good it was. We were only in for drinks on this lunchtime as we intended to graze from the seafood shacks on the stone beach a short walk away, and I like the fact that there was a good mix of people eating and just drinking, even in the front two rooms. This was probably the pick of the pubs I tried in Aldeburgh.

The Mill is a good little pub serving a decent pint of Adnams. The front room is decorated in a modern style with matching furniture and a wood burning stove that kicked out a lot of heat, much appreciated on a cold November afternoon. Most of the front two rooms seemed to be dedicated to dining, with numbered tables. People seemed to be tucking into decent looking fish and chips. The back of the pub is a bit more drinker friendly with two small rooms adjacent to the bar, manned by a very chatty bar maid. If you approach from the back of the pub, it will look closed, but as you round the corner, light shines out welcoming you in. Well worth a visit when in Aldeburgh.

Nice pub with several drinking areas with the beer being in good form.Not so much of an Adnams rip off as the Ghost Ship was "only" £3.60 a pint.
