Food & Drink
Millpond is famous for many things, one of which is its fantastic food and drink options. Cosy neighbourhood diners, friendly bars full of warm and wacky locals, right through to high quality restaurants - you name it, Millpond has it. No matter your budget, your palette, or some of your food allergies, you’ll find a bite to eat and a gulp to drink here!
Drakz Bar
Sleazy, dark and dingy, but with character like nowhere else, Drakz Bar is not just a place to drink warm beer under low light, it’s an experience. No one knows exactly when Drakz first opened; it’s as if Millpond was built around Drakz. The regulars come in all shapes and sizes, although mostly big boys with beards and bikes, but don’t be intimidated, their weapons are usually used on other bikers. You never decide to go to Drakz Bar, but on a night out, you somehow always end up there.
Pumpkin Pie Diner
Built in 1944 and refusing to modernise, the Pumpkin Pie Diner has become something of a time capsule. Standing proud in the Town Square, the diner serves the smoothest coffee, the most indulgent desserts, and the best pies in town 24/7 (until 11pm)! Easy-going, family-friendly, and dangerously moreish, drop in any time of day or night (before 11pm) for a hit of sugar, grease, or caffeine - or all three! Just don’t be surprised if you lose track of time and stay longer than expected (until 11pm, when you will be asked to leave).
Derry Café
Derry Cafe takes only one thing seriously - baking. Pastries, more pastries, cakes, and croissants are baked fresh every day, the coffee flows from morning ‘til night, and its bookshelf full of all sorts of weird and wonderful books will keep you entertained for the entirety of your stay. Considered the thinking persons’ retreat, this cafe was the regular haunt of local author Josie Wiley, a fact which Derry’s takes a lot of pride in. Armed with suspiciously fast Wi-Fi and its celebrity patron, it has attracted many of Millpond’s next generation of writers. Go and get creative!
Lobster Hut
Subtlety is for cowards - that’s Lobster Hut’s motto; instead, it does tender, meaty, juicy, and saucy upon request. Found on Waterfront Way, Lobster Hut has been filling stomachs, winning hearts, and inducing food comas for decades now, and it won’t want to stop any time soon, providing they win their current lawsuit. There’s more than lobster too - gigantic burger stacks, waffle fries with an addictive secret blend of spices, and homemade hotdogs that you won’t forget. Working closely with local suppliers, Lobster Hut brings the best of Millpond to your plate, no matter what you order.
Minozzi’s Diner
Situated on Clearview Avenue in Plymouth, this quiet little burger joint quickly arrived 1996, and quietly stayed forevermore. It’s might not be much to look at from the outside, but the portions at Minozzi’s at generous, juicy and giant. The owner of this establishment is also the cook, ensuring that the meat is “so fresh, you wouldn’t believe it”, so what they lack in atmosphere, they make up in flavour and pride, and that’s why the locals keep coming back for more.
