A traditionally shaped mill set made from hard wearing ABS. Instantly adds style to any dining table whilst remaining an invaluable every day kitchen tool. The hardwearing qualities of the mechanism ensure you will always receive a consistently outstanding performance. Easily refill your mills by simply unscrewing the knob on top and remove along with the nickel top. Fill up with your favourite salt and pepper, replace the tops and continue enjoying expertly seasoned food. Adjust the grind by tightening or loosening the knob on top. Use a coarse setting for steaks or tomato salad, a medium setting for pizzas and a fine setting for soups and sauces. Featuring Cole & Mason sharp ceramic mechanisms for an accurate grind, ensuring maximum flavour release from every turn. Designed and engineered in England, the hardwearing qualities of the mechanism ensure you will always receive a consistently outstanding performance. Hints & tips: If your mill becomes difficult to grind, particularly on a fine setting, trying clearing the mechanism. Turn the mill upside down, loosen the knob to the coarsest setting and twist the top. This will free any large salt crystals that may have become lodged. Retighten the knob to the desired setting.

Good enough for my table but I wouldn’t gift themSo this is a fine enough set of grinders; I’ve used grinders for near on 30 years now after growing up in restaurants. I just like the control that I got use to so after our last set finally died I wanted to try some new ones. These are a bit lighter weight than I’m use to but the plastic feels fine at least. It is matte finish so easy to see imperfections but my set had none. The grinder setting on them is a bit shallow in options. I can’t get as fine of a grind as I’m use to and the coarse could be well coarser. But general use for most people and they won’t even notice. This is more of a personal setting issue. They do use ceramic grinders which you need because the older metal style will corrode.All that said though if you were looking to gift these I would likely not – I mean if you’re doing a gift exchange maybe where you’ve got a 20$ limit then yeah. But wedding/housewarming sort of thing I wouldn’t get this set unless it was asked for specifically. This doesn’t mean I wouldn’t buy this again for my own use for sure. I think buying for yourself this is a perfectly fine option and you are very unlikely to be disappointed by them.

My plastic had a flaw and reservations about materials….So this is a review for COLE & MASON Southwold Black and White Mill Gift Set which at time of review is $18.50. This set is actually replacing an older Cole & Mason set that has performed well for over a decade, time will tell with this set. Initial impressions? I may not have picked them to review had I known how unsubstantial these felt- they are super light and feel inexpensive. The matte finish will show absolutely any flaw, including when they come with manufacturing flaws- which mine did. It’s small but because of the finish and where it was placed it’s pretty noticeable. Otherwise they are grinding fine so far, both grinders have ceramic mechanisms (so you could use salt in them if you wanted as metal would corrode). I don’t mind them since they’re staying around me but I would have been disappointed giving these (or getting them) as a gift. Functionally they are fine.

Review of COLE & MASON Southwold Black and White MillThis Mill Set is great. They are large, made of durable resin material, and have an old-world-style look. No matter your home kitchen or dining room decor, this set fits in nicely as salt & pepper mills on your kitchen or dining tables.

NiceI love the look of these salt and pepper grinders, they are simple yet elegant. Both the salt and pepper grinder works great and they are easy to handle. No complaints so far!

LOVE LOVE!These are so cute and so easy to use! Just unscrew the silver ball on top, pop open and then add peppercorns and sea salt! The silver balls also have a P and S on top so you don’t mix them up! Lots of grinding levels – suuuuper fine or more chunky! 10/10!
