There’s lots going on at The Mill & Il Mulino…… Just because the festivities have been and gone doesn’t mean either of the Stokesley based eateries have taken their foot off the gas. Alex and his team have worked very hard and are looking forward to a busy time in the often thought of quieter months. Teesside Restaurant Week 2020 is taking place in both eateries. This is a week where local restaurants offer 3 courses for just £15, this week runs from Monday 3rd to Friday 7th February. ‘The week is designed to encourage people from across Teesside visit us in a traditional slower time of the year. It really does work and over 40 Teesside restaurants are taking part’ said Alex. The Mill has recently launched a food delivery service through their online partner, Just Eat. Friday nights now host live acoustic music evenings from 9pm. Exciting new menus are being launched in mid January. Il Mulino continues with its food delivery service and a new wine menu is now available. An updated food menu is just around the corner in mid January. Gourmet nights are sold out for the last Sunday evening in January and first Sunday evening in February. Make sure to book your gourmet night to avoid disappointment!
