The tranquil setting of Little Hallingbury is conducive to numerous things, mostly leisure orientated, but even if you're on one of those vacations where you don't want to do anything, this is the great place to relax and let the world go by. While you're at it, you could enjoy a stay at the Grade II listed Little Hallingbury Mill, which offers affordable rooms, welcoming customer service and pretty rural surroundings.

At ground level, the bistro offers a casual and cosy atmosphere, and with the restored mill machinery as a centrepiece, it works well for weekday lunches while the upstairs restaurant has a traditional English environment particularly at weekends. Starters on a regular evening could include Atlantic prawns and Marie Rose sauce followed by grilled salmon fillet with a garlic and herb crust. The chocolate sponge pudding does very well for dessert, and to complement the menu, there's a great selection of wines and British fine ales. Sunday roasts are very popular featuring two delicious main courses.
