Miller & Carter Bexley

Initial drinks service was a little slow, but other than that, all very good. Steak was a very good size and cooked well. Particularly recommended the mac & cheese as a side. Good value for money overall and shout out to our server Jacqui who was cheerful and helpful throughout the meal - even joining in with singing Happy Birthday!

Two steaks out of four sent back, very over-cooked having been left under the hot plate unattended for about ten mins. Chefs had called service in vain several times while 3/4 waitresses chatted by the restaurant entrance. I know this to be true because I was chasing round the restaurant after my three year old as we waited. When I reluctantly sent the steaks back and complained about them having been left to over-cook the waitress couldn’t wait to get away although I did receive a cursory apology. Replacement ribeye, requested medium, was very undercooked (rare - see photo) but I turned down the offer of a replacement because everybody else at the table was almost finished. They did not charge service but it was the usual story, when you complain, the atmosphere turns frosty. That’s why people don’t complain. Disappointing because it’s a lovely setting and, prior to sending back the steaks, the service was warm and friendly.

Medium made Angus Primer rump steak ordered. Please see the photo what I get and judge by yourself. Unable to finish my dish.

A great place for a family dinner and a Birthday celebration. The starters were delicious - the baked cheddar mushrooms, salt and pepper calamari and the spiced aubergine boa buns were the items I tried and were very tasty. I want to give a particular shout to the halloumi fries. I would highly recommend them - very crispy. For the mains, they were also great. Chips were flavoursome and the camembert mash was smooth and buttery. My only issue was that mine and another family members steak cooking levels were mixed up. I requested for a 12oz MEDIUM WELL steak and the other member requested a 16oz MEDIUM RARE steak however, I got a 12oz medium rare and the other member got a 16oz medium well. Since it was too rare for me we did have to swap. But the steak was tender and the peppercorn sauce complimented it perfectly. The first waitress that served us was OK, she seemed quite annoyed, but then they got changed (I assumed due to an incident that occurred with a window getting smashed due to the extreme winds yesterday) and the second waitress which I didn't catch the name of was much more welcoming and had excellent customer service skills! Other than that, I have no complaints about this restaurant. The area is very beautiful with a lovely garden right next to the restaurant to stroll in. The parking area is massive so no issues there.

What a beautiful place to have a meal, very pretty atmosphere with the contrast of bare bricks and exposed wooden beams. We were welcomed without registration, restaurant was quite busy. Service was one of the best in comparison to the other places I have visited. Our host was Lucy, she truly made the whole experience great, very attentive and proffesional. And the steaks were cooked to perfection 🥰 would love to come back again. There is a garden next to it for a nice stroll before or after the meal 🌷🌼🌺
