A beautifully refurbished 11th Century Mill, turned pub, near Guildford
Welcome to The Gomshall Mill. Located in the beautiful, and historical rural village of Gomshall, near Guildford, on the A25. This building forms a huge part of Gomshall's history and has existed since the 11th century, as seen in the Domesday Book.
The Mill formed an integral part of the local industry, powered by the River Tillingbourne, and was still grinding flour as a working corn mill until 1952. Thereafter it became the village's post office, before being transformed into a beautiful, award-winning riverside pub in 2010. However, the Grade II listed site was fast falling into disrepair and was subsequently closed in 2021.

The derelict pub was purchased by New Dawn Pubs and, following a full refurbishment, re-opened its doors in December 2022 thus ensuring a secure future for its local community, and as a destination pub for walkers and explorers alike.
In December 2023, the team won the Pub of the Year award (Gold), which was voted for by Tourism South East and Visit England, an accolade for achieving the very highest of standards within the industry.
None of us had starters and for main meal 2 of us had the fish and chips, lovely fish cooked perfectly and lovely light crisp batter. And I assume homemade tartare sauce - that was particularly excellent. One had the sea bass fillets which she said were the nicest she had ever had and lastly the mackerel and harissa fish cakes which apparently were very, very tasty. One dessert was had which was the chocolate cheesecake which again was very prettily presented and tasted great.
Overall a fab slow lunch and well worth the money which was very reasonable. Lovely waitress who was very patient as we kept changing our minds about what we wanted as all the dishes on offer sounded good.
Would highly recommend and we will be back.

We went in the evening, Halloween, in fact, so it was more atmospheric than usual. I had chicken with creamed cabbage and bacon, and swapped the celeriac fondant for fries. My husband had gammon and eggs, both dishes delicious. We have already booked for the festive menu in early December."
