  “Food was okay, atmosphere was quite pretty too. But service was appalling. We went here on a Friday afternoon after my friend's wedding. I had put in the reservation that they just got married. But the service was just not attentive and very slow. There weren't that many tables and there should have been enough staff. But it was a long wait for everything. At the end we had to wait 20 minutes for the bill. They forgot, we asked again. Another wait. We ended up just going to the bar, which was another wait. Would've loved to love it, but not coming back.”

  “Was so looking forward to this meal with my family as had heard great things and was the last day of my 3 week holiday from Australia. . Maybe just a bad day, primary server was good, another younger girl server no smiles for us. Menus a bit creased and grubby. Ultimate burgers were disappointing, pattie over worked and chewy, haggis layer very thin. Fish and chip main - too much batter on the haddock, the other fish main - salmon was enjoyed. We were a party of 5 in a semicircular booth, the booth material had seen better days and the two dining chairs filthy with crumbs from previous diners and stained material, couldn't believe it. I swapped one wobbly chair out with another - also stained. Desserts were had by 4 of us, carrot cake feedback was a bit dry and frosting meh, my white chocolate and raspberry ruined by strange tasting icing. Had 3 cappucinos, mine was tepid and unlike any cappucino i have had before. So sad i couldn't leave a better review.”

  “Lovely atmosphere, great staff, really nice outside terrace with good music inside. Stayed for Sunday lunch and the Roast Beef was very very good. On this visit I would definitely come back regularly ! There is a noticeable improvement here since our last visit and I think management and chefs are on the ball!!”

  “Had a lovely lunch at The Paper Mill today with my mum and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was fantastic, beautifully prepared and full of flavour, and the service was warm, friendly and attentive throughout. The restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a lovely atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. We also loved seeing all the Scotland flags up for the football which was such a nice touch that added to the atmosphere. A wonderful place for lunch and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!”

  “Great food and venue let down by slow service. While I want to fully recommend this place, the service was incredibly slow and lacking in basic hospitality. For example, after being shown to our table, our waitress simply walked off without a hello, welcome, or mentioning the daily specials. From there, it felt like an uphill battle just to find out the soup of the day, place our order, and finally receive our food. It's a real shame because the soup itself was absolutely first-class. The potential is there, but the service needs serious improvement. The places was very quiet when we arrived.”

  “Not going to lie I am not easily impressed. The paper mill exceeded my expectations! The dinning room is beautiful done (tho the chairs have seen better days) The food and drinks are exceptional! Wonderfully cooked and super super tasty! Healthy portions at a very reasonably price! Best expresso martini I have ever had and the no tai mocktail 👌🏻 Will definitely be visiting again! Now on our favourites list !”

  “Excellent venue for breakfast, visit regularly, and it never lets us down. Superb ingredients and always well cooked and presented. All staff very pleasant, efficient, and courteous. Had a few different breakfast’s at the Papermill and every one of them has been excellent. Never had lunch or dinner at this venue so can’t comment, hopefully try at some point, give this place a go it won’t disappoint.”

  “Been twice in the last week and can't wait to go again. First went for lunch, it was delicious. Then went back for breakfast again today and was once again blown away. The staff are so lovely and helpful. They're attentive but I felt in no rush to vacate the table after finishing my meal. Its reasonably priced, very tasty and has easy parking. Dog friendly too which is always a bonus.”

  “Incredibly slow service considering the place was empty. Fish and chips although crispy was very lacking overall. Both our drinks tasted off but we chalked that up to the gun not being fresh. Overall not super happy but not the worst experience ever. Food was fine but absolutely not worth the higher price tag.”

  “The Paper Mill - totally unplanned visit here last week and actually the result of just asking Google for somewhere to eat on our route - anyway, what great fortune as the food and service was absolutely superb! The restaurant is set just off the River Esk in Lasswade - it has dedicated car parking and is wheelchair accessible, with double doors to the front and staff that will happily help you if required. We arrived at lunchtime and it was pretty busy - a good sign - but were seated in the front portion of the building. Beautifully appointed and a large bar; many tables and a good sized beer garden. The whole place was immaculately clean and overall I'd say very welcoming. Food was excellent - modern takes on traditional dishes and priced relatively well given the current climate. Main dishes £15-20. Overall just really great - will be back for sure!”
