Stillness Retreats at the Mill Retreat Centre provide a fully catered facility.

Our chefs place a strong emphasis on the use of local, seasonal and organic produce to create beautiful vegetarian food of the highest standard. Menus are often inspired by and based around the cuisines of the Mediterranean, Asia and South America and of course, the regional dishesof northern France will feature often.

Main meals are eaten together in the delightful, and very French, dining room.
Breakfast is a “help yourself” affair with lovely ingredients to make the type of breakfast you prefer. These will include:-

Tea, coffee, herb teas, cereals, muesli, porridge oats, yoghurt, fruit juice, a variety of fruits, eggs and breads and croissants.

Snacks and drinks are all included and breaks during the course of the day can be taken in the dining room. We do not operate a bar. If you wish and it is appropriate, please bring your own wine.
