Let A Pub In Deal – Run The Mill Inn !
The Mill Inn is a large detached traditional building, located on Mill Hill some half a mile from Deal Town centre on the South Kent coast. Deal is an affluent historical seaside town with a number of quality pubs, restaurants, hotels and cafes. Deal is extremely popular with holiday makers visiting Deal Beach along with Deal Castle. The Mill Inn is just 30 minutes south of Canterbury, which is under an hour to London on the train. Mill Hill and the surrounding area is heavily populated with residential housing on all sides of the property. There is a strong local community following at the prominently located Mill Inn. In 2021 there was a full refurbishment and re-decoration with new carpets in the licensee accommodation which is located over two floors. Admiral Taverns have also completed a full refurbishment on both the internals and externals and are we looking for a new licensee to unlock the potential this business can offer. As part of this investment, the kitchen was also updated so the pub can offer bar food and accommodate the large number of pool and darts teams who frequent the pub on a regular basis.

The trade area is split into two main areas with a mixture of fixed and loose seating, one large public bar which is dominated by a central bar servery, and also has a raised stage area to the rear for live entertainment, pool table and a television screen showcasing live sports.
