Miller and Carter Caversham Heights in Reading

We love the this place. A wide menu to choose from. Kids menu lovely too. We have returned to place several time and won’t be our last time. Thanx to Blair & Lois and Jake.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was so lovely. Festive menu is a must, too! Thanks to the team and our server Rifaat!

Visited 2024-11-24 18:30 table for three. NO KETCHUP!?!?!? Upon arrival by car, drove round to the car park, which is at the back. We were able to find a space in the car park. It was raining, so we didn't want to be outside for long. There was a door at the back of the building with light shining out, but sadly that was not usable as an entrance, so we had to traipse all the way back round to the front, in the rain, to get to the entrance, which was also at the far end of the building relative to where you have to walk around the building. The restaurant should set up the existing back door as an entrance/exit for easy access to the car park. At the entrance, we were met after an OK time by an OK person who took us to our table. We were seated next to a large rowdy table with children. I don’t think the place was full, and I think they could have seated us further away from them in a quieter area. The décor was good, and the atmosphere was OK. They provided us with two menus, the main à la carte menu and a Sunday menu. The menus seemed similar, and this was confusing. Eventually I was able to work out that the Sunday menu was more restricted and offered three courses for one fixed price. It would have been nice if they had given us a verbal overview of the differences between the two menus. They took our drinks order after an OK time, and the drinks were brought within a reasonable time. I had a Pepsi Max. There was no ice as I had requested, but there was no lemon. A restaurant charges a premium, and should provide lemon. The drink was served in a tall glass with a straw. However, later in the evening I discovered that the straw was not long enough to reach the bottom of the glass. That being the case, the straw was silly, and if the drink was served in that tall glass, it should not have been provided with a straw. After a time, they came to take our food order. I was the last of the guests to place my order. I asked for the dirty burger, only to be told that they had run out! This seemed pretty strange considering it was a burger, not exactly haute cuisine, and that it was only 6:30pm, not exactly late in the evening. They advised that the Lamb and the Cod were also run out. I had to quickly choose something else. It would have been better if they had advised what had run out when giving us the menus, before we made our choices. The food came after an OK time. The wrong salad came for one of us, though this was corrected when we pointed it out. They asked if we wanted anything to go with it, meaning mayo, ketchup etc. but said — and this is STAGGERING — that THEY HAD NO KETCHUP!?!?!? NO KETCHUP!?!?!? Now, I can understand expensive perishable items like meat and fish running out. They have to order in advance, and it’s a trade off between availability and waste. But KETCHUP? SERIOUSLY? Ketchup is cheap, and keeps for extended periods. A steak restaurant should never, ever run out of ketchup. Even if they did run out of ketchup, I would expect the duty manager to be running out to the local convenience shop and buying a few bottles off the shelf to tide them through the evening. I ordered steak with Bearnaise sauce and chunky chips. The steak was good, and cooked medium as requested. However, everything tasted pretty bland, and it was not a special dining experience. My pot of chunky chips had two skinny fries in it. I mean, it’s all chips, but if they’re getting the chips mixed up, what else are they getting mixed up? Overall I would say the experience was mediocre, and not worth the money.

Had a take away from Miller & Carter, Caversham. It was very nice at the time but I was very ill the next day, which can only have been the food. Contacted Miller & Carter and they have said without evidence it can’t have been them. Doesn’t give much hope that this took it seriously or have changed anything, so be warned.

Fantastic gastropub/restaurant, the fixed price lunch menu Mon-Sat is amazing value for money, £17/20 for 2/3 courses! The decor is very nice and fancy with lots of wine bottles around, furniture plush and the service is polite and professional, our waitress Mandy in particular. Very accommodating to kids with a kids menu, and plenty of free car parking round the back. Signed up for the loyalty app as we'll definitely back back soon and often!

Delicious meal with great drinks and friends

Great service (thank you Mandy),great food, great evening.

Young child’s menu very small portion of fish. Sauce missing from one of the steak Server -Mandy was very efficient and friendly

Came in for lunch earlier today and was served by Joe for my visit, incredible service and very very welcoming and good knowledge of the menu. Will definitely come back again soon!

Amazing steaks as always, a bit pricey but WELL worth the money! Our server Mandy was excellent, so kind, very attentive and made our experience great!

Lovely experience, the butchers block was cooked just right and Mandy was great .

Amazing service from JOE especially! Loved the food and Joe was a great guy explained everything to us. Will come again thank you

Great meal and decent food. Great service from Evie.

Evie was amazing and very helpful. Amazing food and perfect afternoon

Came in this evening with my friends for my birthday had a fantastic time the food was amazing the service was excellent. It was my 1st time visiting miller and carter and it definitely won't be my last

Sold out off 2 starters no sharing dish . Dusty ledge by my right arm. Too many add ons to menu ,make reading the bill difficult Very disappointing . Won't be going back Reply to feedback Don't go there on a Sunday night as if they are busy you will have a very limited choice

Mandy was wonderful and friendly, we had a lovely dinner!!

Had dinner (surprise for a dear friend) last night as part of a large group yesterday. I had the 16oz Medium Ribeye. It tasted delicious, although it wasn't as marbled as I'd been expecting. Also had the Calamari & Jumno Prawns as starters. The Prawns were fresh and perfectly grilled, and the Calamari was breaded and flavoured just right. Knocked it all back with 2 Raspberry-flavored Mojitos. The signature wedge salad with honey mustard & bacon deserves a very tasty and honorable mention too. Undoubtedly for me was the New York-style cheesecake...yummy! This cheesecake alone was worth the trip. I definitely highly recommend and will be back for some more. The staff were gracious, especially as we were a mixed party with children. They got the food out and were super gracious with smiles for us throughout. I would certainly recommend this restaurant - whether you're eating solo, on a date, or part of a group as I was. The restaurant is a bit pricey but worth it as a treat.

Fantastic food. Really tasty and beautifully presented. There were 3 vegetarians among our party of 8 and we had good choices. Everyone eat everything of their plates.

Normally have a really good meal here. This time, two of the steaks were supposed to be medium and medium well done, but they both came out rare to medium rare. Steak is what these guys do and this should be really straight forward. It spoils the meal and people don't want to be sending their steaks back. Also, service for drinks during dinner was really slow. We've had this before and it's really frustrating. Might be time for a bit of a break from Miller and Carter. It's not cheap and it should be better than this.

Consistently good food. Non town location which gives it a cosy feel. Staff friendly and welcoming. Will keep going back

Lovely restaurant, very welcoming, excellent food. Very kind waiter Leon.

Amazing food and friendly staff will definitely be visiting again our waiter Joe couldn’t have been more helpful 🙂

Delicious meal, excellent service, our waitress Evie was so lovely & the Mange Joe couldn't have been more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble & so helpful with my mother who has poor mobility. Will go again.

Amazing meal and great hospitality!

We recently had the Sunday Sharing Platter, and it was absolutely delicious! The steak and lamb were cooked to perfection, just how we like it—tender, flavorful, and juicy. The entire meal was a delight from start to finish. Our waitress, Annabell, was exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout, providing service that couldn't be faulted. She truly enhanced our dining experience with her warm and attentive demeanor. This is without a doubt my favorite restaurant, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. We’ll certainly be returning very soon!

Tried the new Sunday Roast sharer and it was lovely! Mash was a nice touch and gravy was delicious. Annabelle was welcoming, friendly and very sweet. Will recommend to my friends,thank you

Delicious steaks and food with a modern warming atmosphere. Great and welcoming service.

Brilliant food, excellent customer service and it was in a very good location.

As always loved our dinner at Miller & carter. Annabelle was such a lovely smiley waitress and checked on us throughout our meal

Mandy our waiter was amazing. Perfect food and wine. We will definetly come back.

We had an amazing dinner here! The cod was perfectly cooked, tender and full of flavor, while the ribeye was simply outstanding—juicy, cooked to perfection, and incredibly satisfying. Special thanks to Mandy, who provided exceptional service throughout the evening. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed to make our experience memorable. Highly recommend this place for both the delicious food and the fantastic service!

Mandy was a great server! She was always there when we needed her and was super friendly ◡̈

As always, a fantastic meal at Caversham’s Miller & Carter. Our table was served by the delightful Mandy once again, whose professionalism and attention to detail is always a pleasure.

Decent dinner here. Firstly, excellent service from the manager and waiting staff, from arrival to paying the bill. As a heads up, you can't wear shorts in the restaurant, I'm not sure if that's just for dinner though. The food was excellent, and reasonably priced too. Overall, very happy with the way our steaks were cooked and with the whole experience. Would recommend!

Food is great. Like the environment and atmosphere inside. Will come back again.

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a new place to eat! From walking through the doors to leaving, the staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. The waiter we had was new but he had seemed to fit right into place and was helpful with changing a few things on our orders and we were able to have a laugh with him. 100% be back soon

Our server Mandy was very kind and very helpful and the steak was great

Mandy was very friendly and helpful.

It’s a lovely place. Difficult location by public transport. Food is all good but fairly pricey.

Annabel was fab server, very observant and friendly :)

Great food as always, but our night was made by our server, Rijaaf who was attentive, engaging and professional throughout our visit. 5 star service, thank you!

House staff were very welcoming. Leon, our waiter, was attentive and very obliging.

Anniversary meal at the Caversham restaurant. Excellent service from Evie who was friendly and helpful and even organised an extra special Anniversary treat which was delicious! Felt the 3 course date meal was good value with generous portions and melt in the mouth steaks. Felt like a valued customer even though only our 2nd visit. We will return. Thank you Evie!

Annabel was attentive, knowledgeable and considerate. Particularly of our specific dietary requirements as my mother is highly allergic to gluten and dairy!

Great food and a wonderful offer made it very affordable Really kind and attentive staff

Just a quick question, do you not do desserts as I couldn't see any on your menu?

Our server Leon did a fantastic job tonight, he was busy and was still very attentive and gave great recommendations.

Brilliant customer service from Evie, food was amazing 10/10

Excellent evening at miller and carter. All of the food was as good as we could have asked for and the service from Leon was very good. No complaints at all

Me and my partner celebrated my 24th birthday here. Shannon served us and was really attentive the whole time even with us being indecisive haha! Great food and great vibes. Thanks for the great night we will be back :) x

Booked a table here to see what all the fuss was about after hearing so many positive things from family and friends. The wife and I had brought my grandmother and aunt for lunch and sage to say it didn’t disappoint, we were warmly greeted and shown to our table and then had the honour of being served by “Leon” (friendly, nice & polite young man) whom made us feel comfortable and well informed about menu options. We opted to dine from the lunch set menu - For starter I had the “spicy chipotle chicken”, juicy succulent chicken served with a smooth sweet chilli sauce. For main - 7oz rump steak (rare) beautifully cooked and complemented with the usual garnishes as well as some bernaisse sauce. Washed all this down with a couple of pints of Peroni and then topped off the meal with a lovely pudding - crème brûlée 🤤 I believe one of the chefs names is “John” hats off to him also for some extremely tasty grub !!! All in all a very nice lunch out that was enjoyed by everyone and would highly recommend to anyone 👌🏼

Excellent service from Leon at lunch today, beautiful food. Only minor problem was that my grandmother ordered a medium rare steak and it was quite well done (possible mishearing) but she loved it none the less

We had a wonderful meal and Annabel was our server she was very kind and lovely and made the experience really enjoyable

Had a lovely meal in here with my mum. Had a lovely waiter called leon who did a bang up job. He was at our beck and call and was fast and very helpful when we didn't know what we wanted and helped us by recommending a few things on the menu. Thank you leon if you read this you did and amazing job. Me and my mum will definitely be back

Went to miller and carter the other day for a meal I was greeted so friendly by the staff We had a lovely server his name was Leon he provided excellent service and made the whole experience more enjoyable ! Will definitely dine here again

Annabelle was very personable and helpful. Food was lovely and the service was great

Annabelle provided great service and made the meal lovely

had a fantastic evening, our server Leon was very attentive and always served with a smile. will definitely come back again.

Annabel was our server and she’s was very friendly and helpful. She ensured we were looked after with the food allergy we had in our party. Annabel is a credit to the company.

Amazing ambience and really warm, friendly staff, the guy who served us, Leon was really nice! Will definitely be going again

Lovely birthday lunch with my partner we shared the butchers block. Food was amazing and our waitress Annabel was very helpful and friendly. She checked on us to make sure everything was good with our food.

Lois was excellent, quick quality service with a smile

Excellent as usual, our server Lois was very helpful and courteous.

Annsbel our waitress was lovely. Great service and good food. Thank you

Fantastic place given as a recommendation from a friend! Very friendly team and food was excellent. Always a big fan of a Ribeye! 💪

Annabelle provided a lovely service and was very friendly. Thank you :-)

Annabelle was fantastic, friendly and professional. Quick service, excellent food as always. Music could be louder to create more atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere friendly attentive service from our waitress Shannon, fabulous 3 course lunch all cooked perfectly & washed down with excellent wine choices

Good food really knowledgeable friendly staff.

The steak was not done as expected (medium) and despite returning was disappointed for a new steak to come back even more rare. This is not medium to me.

Mandy was a fantastic server, food was amazing as always. Will be back again.

I was there for a wedding reception. I had the cheesey mushrooms and a veggie burger. Absolutely delicious. The service was outstanding, the team were brilliant especially considering there were a lot of people. They were really helpful, very friendly and I think went above and beyond. I'll definitely be going back.

Plenty of parking. Nice relaxed atmosphere, Waiting staff were friendly and on hand showed us to our table quickly. The evening seating wasn't packed, and we never felt rushed, so we were able to take time to chat and relax. Shared a starter with a really nice sauce (think it was the blue cheese one - recommend) and the staff brought extra plate and cutlery no funny looks. Main meal was hot and tasty too. Even the toilets are chilled as you can hear the music and even have a cheeky dance! Definitely be back.

The service was rude and terrible the food was all extremely overpriced for the quality I would never go again as it was poor in all aspects

Excellent service from Olivia and team, everyone was very well informed regarding allergies and Olivia made every effort to ensure we were having a good experience. We will be back.

Food was lovely as always and Mandy looked after us well

Delicious steaks and great service. Thank you, Mandy!
