Precision Cast Iron Salt & Pepper Mills
Iron-Mills was created by a Rolls-Royce engineer, who turned his hand to product design.
If you're tired of poor-quality salt & pepper grinders, that don't last or eventually become dull, you've landed in the right place.
We want to play our part in putting an end to the increasingly prevalent 'throw-away' nature of modern products and focus on longevity. That's why quality has taken priority, even above our bottom line, in every engineering decision we took while designing the Iron-Mills range.
Control Your Grind for Brilliant Results
Freshly ground black pepper delivers an intense and fragrant flavour, that can both enhance and complement the taste of almost any dish.
A fine grind provides a balanced flavour and is perfect for sauces, while a coarse grind is ideal for marinades, soups and steaks.
You can adjust the coarseness setting on all of our mills - so you can add just the right amount of snap to every meal.
Iron-Mills Grinders will Amaze Your Senses
Our luxury cast iron salt and pepper mills are a treat for all your senses.
Each mill is carefully cast and finished. The comforting heft of the cast iron will remind you of its quality with every use.
Our remarkable colour selection will certainly match your personal style.
As you hear the smooth grinding of spices, the smell of fresh pepper will heighten your sense of taste.
Professional Swiss Grinding Burr Set
We use a Swiss grinding mechanism in each of our mills. 'Swiss Made' is synonymous with quality ubiquitously, and our grinders certainly don't disappoint.
The burrs have been specifically designed to extract the best flavour by stripping the peppercorns instead of crushing them.
The precision carbon steel grinding mechanism is durable and long-lasting, plus we've added a tin coating to every salt mill to prevent corrosion.
For Your Peace of Mind
We're so confident that the grinding mechanisms we've selected will last - We're offering a 10-year mechanism warranty to give you peace of mind.
We also offer hassle free returns for 30 days from receiving your order. If you're unhappy, for any reason, send them back for an exchange or refund.

Who knew how wonderful ground salt could be?
Hesitated buying a salt mill, but this has changed our world. And it’s wonderful if you enjoy cooking, I honestly think we use less salt, but the taste is superior.
Quality
Wow. For years we have struggled with the cheap plastic grinders, and I was sick of how rubbish they are. So,I looked for something much better, and found these. I loved the look of them and they sounded perfect. However,the price put me off for a while. Eventually I went for it. And bought a salt one to try. WOW. All I can say is, if you like the look of these, just buy it. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely be buying the pepper version soon.
Feel great quality
Bought as a Christmas gift, so not given yet, so can’t say if they were liked. But on inspection they look beautiful and so very solid and heavy. Lovely classic colours and look made to last. Expensive but hopefully worth it.
Effective and efficient
The mill is extremely efficient and effective as it grinds out a full measure of pepper in one turn of the handle every time. Filling the mill is a bit fiddly and it is also rather heavy but, if it maintains its current performance over time, those are relatively minor drawbacks.
