Miller & Carter in Rochford

We visited on a Tuesday evening, warmly greeted at the door and taken to our table promptly. Our waitress Sarah was very professional and attentive, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and cosy.

Really lovely experience. Customer service outstanding. Food delicious. Very happy thank you

Fantastic friendly service, great atmosphere and above all the food was excellent.

Food was good had to give some feedback. But the waitress S-Jane was amazing addressing the issues raised. She listened and took immediate steps to resolve. Very friendly and chatty which made for a lovely atmosphere. She is a credit to your business. Thank you..

Food, drinks and service by Julie was excellent. We have been here loads of times and Julie has been fantastic every time. A lo ely woman and great waitress. Would definitely recommend. Best steakhouse locally

Despite it being a busy Saturday on the run up to Xmas we were greeted warmly by the team. We were not rushed or hurried. Our steaks were cooked as ordered. Attentive, friendly server, without being intrusive. We had a lovely meal for a family birthday celebration.

Visited for my friends birthday. Excellent atmosphere, food and staff. We had a fantastic evening.

Food was lovely, my steak was slightly overdone for my taste but nothing that made me want to return it. Our waitress was attentive and pleasant however I feel that the constant asking for us to leave a 5 star review on Facebook and Google became a little off putting, she even stood over us whilst we tried to do it. When Facebook didn't appear to be working she even went to get the manager and made me show her my phone to prove that it wasn't. It somewhat put a dampener on our evening.

Fantastic meal, everything was excellent, compliments to the chef and his co workers also our waitress Georgia, she was professional, attentive and very friendly. We will definitely be returning in the New Year.

Great food and portions. Our server Natalie was the best!

Great food and a great evening , Our waitress Julie was amazing , Thank you

Lovely surroundings, good friendly service, very reasonably priced lunch menu, nice food well presented.

Waitress Sarah was very friendly and efficient. Seated us last minute and took order quickly to ensure we could get mains

Excellent service, great food, pleasant environment and staff were exceptional

It’s was my wife’s birthday meal and it was ruined! We had literally just started eating our starter when the waitress put our steak main course with sides on the table! Seriously how unprofessional and stupid is this especially as I believe this was an experienced waitress. We were then told the reason was because of the festive menu and large groups.and the chef didn’t want us waiting! Is this really a valid reason…..NO. Subsequently we had to rush our starter and our main courses and sides were cold. My wife’s steak was over cooked when ordered a medium. They did replace the meals but the night was already ruined. The replacement meals were hot but some of it was reheated and the steaks and fries were poor. The restaurant is seriously overrated, over priced, unprofessional service and below par produce. NEVER AGAIN. Hi Harry, We both had the lettuce wedge as our starter and they were delivered to the table first. The waitress was fully aware we wanted these as our starter hence why she gave the reason why the main meals were delivered so quickly! The waitress tried her best to rectify the evening but it had already been ruined and when second round of meals were returned, some of the food had just been reheated and was very disappointing especially the steak and fries. Overall it was an incredibly disappointing evening all round especially as it was my wife’s birthday meal. Kind regards Marc

My steak was delicious and my server Sarah was great. I highly raccomand miller and Carter restaurant in Rayleigh. I had a great birthday!! Thank you x

The food was good. The service today was terrible.

A very good experience, although a bit on the pricey side. Back for another meal tonight. Good quality and service for a price. A further visit, and still very good overall quality

1. Food (steaks from a la carte menu) was good but MASSIVELY overpriced. Festive menu is a bit disappointing and also overpriced. There was literally no atmosphere, A bit like a Wetherspoons, but with more expensive food and drinks. 2. Drinks service appeared to struggle and was slow as the restaurant became more busy. 3. The whole ‘steak expert’ label thing is laughable and unnecessary. I suspect it’s probably embarrassing for the servers and is a pointless gimmick. 4. We were sat close to the main entrance and the reception phone was ringing regularly and taking time to be answered. A very annoying interruption, at least it wasn’t a rude and inconsiderate diner, but it might just as well have been.

Great service and food as always! Food was incredible, melt in your mouth! Our server, Natalie was brilliant, really friendly and welcoming…. Without prompting or asking organised a lovely birthday message for my special meal! Was brilliant! Will be back soon!

Great meal with family made better by the service of the staff especially Natalie

Went out for a meal with my granddaughter, daughter and son in law, the food was excellent and great service from Natalie

Lovely service by Natalie! Super kind and friendly and extremely hard working!

Excellent steak meal with friends. And very good to be able to choose from a gluten- free menu. If one thing could have been better, it would have been the king prawn cocktail - the prawns were good, but the marie rose sauce was poor, and it was served on plain iceberg only, in a 'bowl' plate thing with a stupidly wide rim, that tips over all the time.

Chloe served us well she was very polite and helpful she made our evening,she was very bubbly ,it was a pleasant evening thankyou Chloe for your great customer service and a friendly smile :)

Waitress Chloe was fantastic. She made it extra special knowing that we were American and it’s Thanksgiving today. Very grateful for her kindness and how thoughtful she was.

Emma our server was friendly and efficient.

Superb food and excellent service

We recently visited Miller and Carter at Rayleigh for a very special occasion—my family meeting my girlfriend’s family for the first time—and it couldn’t have been a more perfect experience. The service was absolutely incredible; the staff were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The food was truly top-tier—everything was cooked to perfection, and I couldn’t find a single thing to fault. What made the evening even more memorable was the kind gesture from the staff, who gave us a discount as we were celebrating such a unique and special event. It was a wonderful touch that added to the fantastic atmosphere and made the night feel even more special. I can’t recommend Miller and Carter highly enough for both the quality of the food and the exceptional service—it’s a place we’ll definitely return to for future celebrations!

One of the best in Southend for fine dining

We had Holly serve us and she was amazing. Very attentive! Good is amazing as always

Come here all the time, order the butchers block and Julie is a 10 out of 10 for service

Chloe and Debbie were so helpful throughout the whole meal. Couldn't be happier with the service! Great food and great staff!

Food was amazing and service from a lady called Chloe was fantastic. 10/10 will be coming again :)

easy to park, pleasant staff, good food

Julie served us up a lovely 8oz 30-day aged fillet steak with thick-cut chips. Washed down with a Merlot and a pint of Doom-Bar to start. My lovely wife, the designated driver, had the plant-burger and fries. A lovely impromptu date-night.

1st time at this Miller & Carter, as visiting friend to celebrate birthday. Great food , and dud a nice touch for my friends birthday

Sarah was lovely, looked after us throughout, made sure everything was perfect throughout our entire experience. Thank you! X

We ordered the Sunday sharing platter and I was extremely disappointed. The steak and lamb were so full of fat I couldn’t eat it and the vegetables weren’t very warm either

Great food very fast service all in all a great visit and will definitely be back and the food was 10/10 amazing food steak was cooking perfectly

Emma was a great very helpful and pleasure to deal with helping choose our meals customers service was amazing best I’ve had also salad with blue cheese dressing was best I’ve had with the right amount dressing

What an amazing evening we had last night. The steaks were unreal, the service was impeccable and the cocktails 🍹 WOW. Can’t wait to visit again soon.

We visited for a birthday lunch - 9 of us including 2 children, everything we wanted was available from the menu, the steak was cooked to perfection and every meal was presented beautifully. The drinks were amazing. I highly recommend Miller and Carter for their steaks and cocktails!! Our waitress went above and beyond to make our birthday lunch special - thank you Chanelle. We’ll be back again soon!

Amazing team and very friendly and helpful nothing is too much especially with allergens they made sure everything was safe and the management took my order and brought it too me with the correct safety policy in place, I felt safe and defently recommend this place if anyone that suffers with allergen

On arrival the entrance was crowded they had obviously overbooked, there was home delivery people back and forth, and then we were placed in the bar area THAT IS NOT A RESTAURANT !! too close to the door bloody cold!

Polite staff, good service, great food

The food was the best part, albeit, some was barely warm and some was hot. Service was very slow. We had a reservation for 4:15pm, we didn’t get seated until 4:45pm then our mains did t arrive for another hour at 5:45pm. Which was disappointing. Hadn’t been to miller and carter for a couple of years, I was reminded why 😂 However, it was very busy so they must be doing something right.

Steak outstanding everything good. Expect prices to rise but they have risen way more than inflation becoming unaffordable unfortunately

Food was lovely the only issue was a long wait. Also I got charged for my free welcome drink which was a little annoying when I checked the bill afterwards

Nice restaurant. Usually great food. Food is sometimes a bit hit or miss. Good for special occasions like birthdays etc. Very accommodating with any issues that arise. Lovely staff!

Always a good and consistent food and service experience.

Great food, lovely setting, a little pricy but really great experience all round.

Sharon was an amazing waitress. She was very polite and easy to order with (we have an allergy in our party). Crystal was also amazing when asking for extra bits and bringing our food to the table.

Food was good. Ordered a rare steak but seemed more medium rare, they forgot the sauce. The waitress was quite rude and didn’t have much knowledge about the menu. She got quite annoyed when we asked a question. We were told they were ready for us to pay. We felt very rushed out, and after spending over £100 for food & drink I didn’t feel like this wasn’t all that it’s hyped up to be.

food and table service good, but lack of reception on arrival - ie when get to desk no on there and you have to flag down a member of staff.

As soon as we arrived Kira made us feel very welcome. The food and service were excellent. I was very happy to receive complimentary prosecco for myself and guests with my voucher from the app. It was a very good evening I can't wait to return again.

As soon as we arrived, we were made to feel welcome. We had the amazing Kira looking after us. The food and service were excellent.

The food was amazing as always. I understand that it was very busy, although the location of our table was in the area of the dining room next to the bar area. I received a text an hour or so before arriving informing me there was no bar area or waiting area, so I was extremely disappointed that the number of people stood by the bar affected our experience. At one point it was so busy with people that I had to move our drinks away from that side of the table as they had nearly been knocked over a number of times by other patrons ordering drinks at the bar. It was also a struggle for the staff to manoeuvre around them, particularly with food. Have people standing over us and our food severely dampened our experience.

Friendly waitress and good food.

Service by Anne was excellent; catered to all our needs and was proactive to ensure we were comfortable.

Food is always fabulous, tasty and filling

Staff very nice and polite Restaurant & Toilets are very clean Presentation of food looked very nice Food was very tasty. Overall a very good experience Have been a few times now and will be going again in Dec. Would strongly recommend to Family, Friends, and anyone looking for a nice restaurant with good food at a reasonable price.

Entered looking forward to a 10/10 Sunday meal. Friendly staff on entering, seated quickly. Food portions definitely reduced, medium steak cooked rare with tiny serving of sauces. 2 Children on near by tables had their heads in their phones playing on full blast sound as did the 2 adults with them we just found it rude & loud. Another table near by allowed the children to cart wheel around the tables for 10 minutes which we found totally unacceptable! Could not relax. Looking around us upstairs people in tracksuits & sports wear surrounded us?Really for £140 meal & we felt like we was at the local harvester not a Miller & Carter (I wish staff would tell customers to control their feral offspring in restaurants) Gone down hill would not recommend. No goodbye when we left as the staff ignored an one leaving. We will be going else where from now on. A sad 3/10

Great food and service, always remember you. Never been better x

We had a table booked on the 19th for lunch and had a lovely greeting at the door and was shown to our table. The waitress was also attentive and polite. We normally go for the chateaubriand to share which is always excellent but decided to give the set menu ago for a change. The tomahawk pork was really nice and cooked to perfection. The restaurant could have been a bit warmer but other than that an enjoyable meal.

Beautiful food. Butchers Block was amazing. Plus all the side orders were cooked to perfection.

Our server Natalie was very attentive and good was of a good standard.

Great evening dinner full of atmosphere and great food

We had a lovely family meal, served by Natalie who was very attentive and friendly. We were pleased with how accessible it was for my wife in her wheelchair. We will definitely be returning.

Seven went for lunch on a Saturday. Surprised it was not very busy. Food and service ok. Fish & Chips were delicious. Very large car park.

Prices are a little eye watering and at those prices, I don't expect my steak to. have so much gristle. On advising the waitress, there was no acknowledgement from the manager or any attempt to compensate. We attended as a group of 4 on Wednesday evening (2/10) at 7:30

We had a lovely experience today, our server Julie was very friendly. Food was lovely too. We will be returning.

Food was absolutely amazing! Reasonably priced and fantastic waitress/waiters. I would like to note that online it states casual/smart dress code however I do not know how strict they are with that. highly recommend the sharing platters, there was so much meat that my 6ft2 boyfriend was stuffed… haha… deserts were brilliant and flavourful. The mock tails were spot on too.

Always a great experience, we took my husband's assistance dog, the chef cooked him a breast of chicken in addition 😋 they gave him water! the services was incredibly Amazing! delicious Food😋.

Julie served us and was very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent.

The staff were great and attentive. Food came quickly. Nice environment.

We went to M&C Rayleigh last night for my sons 17th birthday. It is a restaurant we have used many times in the past for special celebrations and has always been very good. This time we were very disappointed. We arrived slightly early for our table and were asked to sit in the bar while we waited. Once the table was ready we were seated and provided with some menus. After 10/15 minutes the waitress came back to take our order. Unfortunately, both the main choices for my son and daughter were not available. We were not informed that there were items unavailable when we were seated. The waitress apologised and stated that it had been a very busy weekend! This was early (7.45pm) on a Tuesday evening - surely enough time to restock menu items. As there were no other suitable alternatives on the menu, we left and went elsewhere. Very disappointing and wont be returning.

8oz fillet, onion loaf, etc been hundreds of times, just as amazing as first time, served by lovely Kira, beyond awesome, out of ten…..fifty 🩷💜💚🤎💙

Lovely meal, freindly professional staff, very relaxed atmosphere and didn't feel rushed

Slightly disappointing the last time I went but usually it is a very good meal out. I think they were slightly busier than usually so weren't as attentive and the standard had dropped slightly. I will give it another go though!

Excellent waitress poor quality steak.have never had steak this bad before. The only difference between Millar and Carter and the run of the mill pub chains is the higher prices.

The steaks are never cooked to how we ask. We even asked for them to be cooked medium because we wanted medium rare and our steaks were rare still in places. They weren't cooked evenly. We couldn't finish them and this happened last time as well.

Had a lovely lunch. Their lunch menu is quite economic. Good was lovely, or waitress was friendly.

Emma was our server and food was amazing couldn’t have had better service

Been here few times over the years always had a great & enjoyable meal here, not the cheapest of places then again food & quality & portion size are good ! Friendly workers & service too. Definitely going to plan a next visit !

Our waitress was so helpful nothing was too much trouble for her, thank you so much for a lovely evening celebrating my grandaughters birthdays

Emma was an amazing waitress would 100% recommend her again

emma was my waitress she was amazing

Fabulous experience. Emma was so lovely to chat to and was so attentive.

Had our date night meal here, was amazing! The food was perfect and our server Debbie was just lovely & requested her for our next visit! Thank you

Excellent food and service, server went out of her way to help, brilliant would recommend

The veggie option was lacking on taste and expensive for what it was. Disappointing. Holly, however, was brilliant.

Had lunch and had a mixture of the lunch menu items and normal menu.. Both are great value, especially the lunch menu. None alcoholic cocktails are lovely. Food was on point nothing disappointed. Definitely somewhere to check out if you've done so already and somewhere to come on a regular basis... Can't beat good food served well.

We felt welcome from the second we walked through the door.

We had a brilliant meal for my sons 18th birthday here and everything and one was amazing our server Emma was lovely and really helpful 😊

We were a large party of 9 celebrating my father-in-laws 80th birthday. Had a great time, food was perfect and service excellent. Big shout out to Holly & Charlie for looking after us.

Enjoyed a lovely meal, used a kind birthday voucher

Loved it! Food and service superb. They didn't have the lamb the evening we visited but steaks cook to perfection and accompaniments delicious too. Will return 😊

Delicious steak and great service from Holly, definitely recommend 😁

We had lunch on back holiday Monday the steak and cocktail deal was on and it was absolutely stunning and fantastic value for money
