This was our first visit to Sugar Mill Restaurant at Woodlands and the building is impressive on arrival. A fine example of late Victorian c1880 architecture set amidst fine grounds it is a large B&B. Our visit was to celebrate a family birthday and we dined but did not stay in the venue. The dining room is spectacularly lined with locally sourced cedar panelling and a huge fire place. The menu was small but varied. I ordered lamb cutlets as a starter and crispy skin snapper for my main course. Other family members chose the seared scallops (delicious), steak, and comfy duck breast. My only complaint is that the cutlets were not cooked to my taste. Unlike the current trend to serve lamb pink, I prefer it well cooked. However this was almost raw. Lamb, like beef, changes flavour according the the cooking time and should be cooked to the preference of the customer. I will make sure to advise the wait staff of my preference next time visit.
