The River Mill

We walked to the River Mill Tavern in Eaton Socon for an evening drink, then home along the river bank to make our evening meal.

The River Mill, Eaton Socon

The River Mill is a popular spot. It's an easy walk from the caravan park so holiday visitors sometimes come here to drink or eat. The food is good, not cordon bleu by any means but adequate and nicely prepared and presented.

Once a week they have live music, and the tables outside overlook the canal basin with it's range of pleasure craft, many of them narrowboats.

I suspect there's a regular local clientele too, and others like us who live locally but only pop in for a meal once in a while.

I suspect that if I came here regularly I begin to recognise faces and learn some names. Most British pubs have a community atmosphere of some kind and I imagine the River Mill will be no exception.
