Restaurant Bishop Auckland The Mill Kitchen Cafe at Broom Mill Farm
Experience the true heart of the Durham countryside. Join Chefs Matthew & Will for honest, farmhouse cooking.
Just 2 minutes from the Tindale rush, but a world away.
A Warm Welcome Awaits
Trade the crowded Tindale Crescent retail park for the peaceful lakeside surroundings of The Mill Kitchen. Our stunning oak-framed dining room is the heart of the farm—a place where the earthy charm of a working yard meets the inviting aroma of freshly roasted local coffee and homemade bakes.
Whether you’re joining us for a slow Saturday breakfast or an afternoon catch-up over a slice of our legendary cheesecake, the view is always part of the menu. Watch the wildlife on the pond through our floor-to-ceiling windows, or enjoy the fresh country air on our lakeside terrace.
Proudly employing a dedicated team from our local West Auckland community, we serve honest, a-la-carte quality at farmhouse prices.
