Why is The Old Mill among the UK's best beer gardens with a view?

The Old Mill was highlighted by Muddy Stilettos for its gorgeous outdoor setting and quality food among other factors.

They wrote: "A converted 400-year-old mill set alongside the Avon [Water], The Old Mill is a pretty pub-with-rooms close to the south coast and the beautiful New Forest National Park and part of the reliably good Upham Inns group. 

"With good food, a dedicated ‘social drinking’ menu and a large terrace overlooking three tranquil acres, it’s a popular local spot – but there’s always space for thirsty visitors and plenty of summery sharers and small plates."

On its website, The Old Mill describes itself as a "prime venue for al fresco dining and drinking".

They aim to champion local suppliers and use seasonal produce in their menus. As a result, they change quite frequently.

Options for drinks on draught include Asahi, Peroni, Guinness, Grolsch, Cornish Orchards Gold and Meantime Anytime IPA.

Additionally, the establishment has 12 "boutique bedrooms" should you wish to stay over.
