Quinno _ left this review about The Bishop's Mill

AKA the Novichok pub. It looks the part from the outside, an attractive mill building and you have to cross over a little bridge to get to it. Obviously the interior was fully re-done as part of the decontamination efforts a few years ago. It is quite a circuit bar; very big, high-ceilinged and open-plan, quite stripped-back, high chairs and posing tables. The outside garden looks like an excellent summer draw, though my visit was on a dank November afternoon. Run by Greene King with two of their stagers available on the cask - Abbot and GK IPA – the latter of which was in great shape (NBSS 4), a genuine surprise. I might just be tempted back in again next time for a swift half to see if they can repeat the experience…

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Mill

Attractive conversion of a former mill, located in a very prominent riverside setting. Elongated bar with split-level seating areas plus a mezzanine. Front beer garden. Semi-modern furniture and decor, with food and drink offers reminiscent of a Wetherspoons. Two pairs of handpumps, both offering Greene King IPA and Rocking Rudolph. OK, but perhaps could benefit from aiming a little more upmarket.

E TA left this review about The Mill

Formerly The Bishop's Mill, the Mill was one of the more important commercial buildings in Salisbury and dates back to the Middle Ages. It was converted into a pub in the late 20th Century. It is set in a fine building with a large open area, waterside location and is convenient to the City Centre. As a pub, though, it has a lot to be desired. No real ale and a clientele whose chief pleasure is alcopops make this a pub to avoid as a rule. There are several decent pubs within a few yards, so apart from the occasional piece of eye-candy and its architectural interest I can see no real reason to include this one in a crawl or choose it as a venue for the evening.
