About Towcester Mill Brewery
Towcester Mill Brewery is a brewery pub on Towcester Mill in Towcester, run as a tap room inside an old 18th-century water mill. The brewery began at Whittlebury, and the bar now pours craft beer through eight hand pumps, alongside ciders, gin, wine and prosecco. Bottled beers can also be bought at the bar to take home. The Malt Room on the top floor is an event space hired for weddings, parties, baby showers and christenings. It has its own private bar, so guests avoid queuing downstairs, and it is decorated with fairy lights and hops. Hirers can arrange their own catering, from a hog roast to platters and boards. The pub also runs a regular events programme and a beer festival, and dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return above all for hiring the Malt Room, the top floor private venue with its own bar, for weddings, a 40th birthday, a christening, an anniversary and baby showers. Several say the room needs very little decoration, mentioning fairy lights and hops, and call the hire cost reasonable. Reviewers repeatedly praise the event coordinator for answering questions and guiding first-time hosts, and the bar staff for running the private bar on the night. Some note the freedom over catering, with one family bringing a hog roast and another doing all their own food. Close behind is the everyday pub, where regulars describe a large beer garden, craft beers and ciders on draught and bottled, plus gin, wine and prosecco, and friendly, knowledgeable staff. One visitor came for the beer festival, and one says dogs are welcome. No recurring complaints appear, and one couple says a private bar spared their guests from queuing downstairs.

“Not only is this pub our favourite local but we recently hired their Malt Room private venue space for a wedding anniversary. The place was beautiful, the hire cost was so reasonable and there was so much skace. Josie was a great host and she addressed all our questions quickly and clearly, even providing some vendor options for us. On the night, she was absolutely brilliant behind the bar and we couldn’t ask for more from her. Highly recommend.”

“We visit the Brewery multiple times a week and LOVE IT, attending nearly all of the events they put on. So when we were deciding where to host our wedding reception, we didn’t look anywhere else! Hiring out the top floor was amazing, we had our own bar and could choose to use the space and tables however we wanted. They went above and beyond to accommodate us and make our day personal, and were super flexible with setup etc. The vibe was relaxed and friendly, giving us the perfect laid back day and meant we could properly let our hair down when it came to the party portion of the evening! Massive shoutout to Josie who couldnt have done more for us, and for the whole team for bringing all the good vibes on the day. Would 100000% recommend the Brewery for an event, big or small. Trust them with your day, you wont regret it.”

“We recently hired the Malt room to host our wedding party. The room is exactly what we wanted, plenty of space for everyone and the atmosphere is fantastic. The look of the room required very little decoration due to the way the room has already been finished with fairly lights and hops etc, it was exactly what we were looking for. Our party went perfectly and everyone had a great time! Josie did an amazing job organising beforehand and hosting the private bar on the night. Nothing was too much trouble for her and all the other staff we dealt with. We’d definitely recommend the Mill for any parties/celebrations you have in mind 👍”

“I hired a small room for my sisters baby shower and it was perfect. It's a lovely pub with a great selection on drinks at a good price. The staff were very friendly and all around a great atmosphere. I'd highly recommend and will certainly be back even for just drinks. Location is great and look forward to enjoying the pub garden in the summer.”
