Miller & Carter in St Albans

Went to miller and carter for Christmas Day lunch. The restaurant was busy but not fully booked as there were plenty of empty tables with guest trickling in through out the afternoon. The staff were all welcoming and polite. They were very accommodating when we had to change our table to downstairs as a family member couldn’t manage stairs. However the food was disappointing for the money charged, the bread served was dried out, the starter (king prawns) were burnt from the charcoal grill. The turkey was moist and tasty but the broccoli was burnt (not sure how it was cooked) and the cauliflower cheese was stone cold. Finally the cheese cake topped with profiteroles dessert was stodgy and all 5 desserts were pretty much untouched. They looked like they were frozen desserts that had been thawed out. The waitress didn’t even say anything when she cleared our plates. The overall experience left us disappointed and would not recommend M&C for Christmas Day lunch at all.

Our waitress Beata was so lovely. From the start to the end she was extremely attentive and friendly. She really made our experience special. The food was also delicious. We will definitely be returning soon!

I have been to number of high end places recently in an effort to try out the best locals in St Albans - and I must say this is the best so far - Beata the waitress was lovely and attentive and and sensitive to my needs regarding my supplementary Oxygen - me and my friend had a lovely three hours with mains and desserts and high quality cocktails which were on a good offer. I will definitely go back.

We visited Miller and Carter tonight and can only comment on what a lovely time we had. We are a family of 11 and was served by Sophie who was exceptional and very attentive all evening. We would highly recommend this restaurant for a great family meal Thank you Sophie you made a good night even better

Celebrating my birthday with close family. Started with the homemade smoked mackerel pate which was excellent. Followed this up with the steak burger & washed down with a pint of Amstel. Great service & a great price as we used the fixed price menu. Recommended.

Impressive exterior and interior. Everything very clean. The waitress was good, despite being the only one on. Disappointed that the normal lunch menu I have when I go to the Stanmore restaurant wasn't on, replaced by a more expensive "January menu" which was more than I really expected to spend. So £20 for 2 courses including the £2 supplement. Mind you this is a fair bit cheaper than ordering similar food from the a la carte. Very limited range of starters, soup, mushrooms or nachos.. On recommendation we paid the extra for the bistro rump, but it wasn't as tender as claimed. I really had to saw quite hard with the steak knife. I don't really see the point of a quarter of an iceberg lettuce in a separate bowl. The "famous onion loaf" was inedible, like a rectangular onion bhaji that had been deep fried for too long. If the good value normal lunch menu had been on I'd probably have rated it good.

Visited for my mums birthday, food was excellent and the staff made us feel very welcome. Our waiter Joe went out of his way to ensure we had a special evening, he even arranged a birthday dessert for my mum!!

A real chance to return to ‘Steak House’ catering, with a spaced seating area due to the pandemic. Our waitress was welcoming, attentive, and very efficient, as were the rest of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Reasonably priced menu, but wine is not cheap ! A very enjoyable experience. The way to thank the chef and his staff would be - Ring-the -bell - loud and clear.
