Miller & Carter Steakhouse in Cherwell

Tried our luck on a random Wednesday night, greeted by a absolutely lovely Italian host who I’m afraid I’ve forgotten the name of but he was so welcoming and friendly he asked straight away about any gluten allergies which I do have and got me a specific menu before showing us to our table. He explained about the menus and the steak and date night menu and how it worked with the gluten free options for me. He was super helpful so I didn’t have to ask a millions questions. Then our waiter Octavian came over he was also lovely chatty, really polite and helpful letting us know exactly what he was doing like getting our drinks and then coming back so we could order. Etc. he also checked my allergy and made sure he noted everything on the order as he went through. And generally I just really appreciated his time he was clearly doing his job and helping to close down the restaurant as it was late night (but I only noticed that I think because I work in hospitality too) but he took the time to chat with us and was just a very well trained waiter. I also want to say what good value I thought the steak and date menu is - it’s available Wednesdays and Thursdays I think, it’s great value for three courses and a good selection of options still - even for a gluten free! And my favourite part was that they have a gluten free sticky toffee pudding. I can’t remember the last time I went to a restaurant and was able to have a decent pudding- don’t get me wrong I love a crème brûlée but when that and ice cream Are your only two options and sometimes it’s just ice cream it gets you down abit! I was so excited to have the sticky toffee pudding- I had it with vanilla custard and my partner had ice cream both were beautiful. Really impressed with the whole service so thank you all again I’m sure we’ll be back!!!

Came in for my mum’s birthday, served by Burcu, she was really attentive and amazing with us all, had a laugh with us which was lovely, a definite credit to the restaurant! food was also delicious. all around amazing visit!❤️

Went out to dinner tonight and had a lovely meal out. We had Georgia as our server and she was lovely x Dirty Burger and Ribs were delicious 😋

Caitlin was amazing, making the atmosphere feel like a home and not a restaurant. She offered to take pictures and even joked around with us and made us feel welcome. She really made my birthday dinner special and I can’t wait to come back again! Thank you Caitlin

Great experience! The host was very welcoming, and our server, Paula, was extremely attentive. Thank you

Away for a few days from Essex and visited Miiler and carter. Georgia was our hostess and she was so polite, kind and attentive, Would definitely come back again if in area.

Lovely food and atmosphere. Georgina was lovely and always checking in to make sure everything was okay.

Found a voucher in my wallet, so I just popped in and ordered a steak to take away, no issues at all. Staff were happy to help.

A well deserved 5 star. Waitress was excellent and attentive, food was yummy and the atmosphere inviting and classy.

Food was lovely, I recommend Camembert mash potatoes, thanks to Georgia, lovely server who even informed us on how to get a discount when working in the same company

Mauro is an absolute chad, best service I have in years, give us great recommendations and so much enthusiasm.

We came for lunch and it felt very understaffed for how busy it was. Our food came out all at different times and had to chase up the main course and kids meal as it was taking a while, especially for a mac and cheese. But apart from this the food and servers were excellent.

Mauro service was exceptional!! Was so good at keeping up with our table service. Food was also

Mauro was a very attentive host. The food was delicious, the banoffee pie was perfect 🤩

Fantastic service, fantastic meal. Delicious food and very friendly staff! Can't fault a single thing.

Amazing food and service Thank you Octavian Lovely evening

Had an anniversary meal for my grandparents; Caitlin’s service was amazing and the food cooked by Morgan was fantastic. Cant wait to come back. Highly recommend

Went to Miller and Carter on Mother's Day and the whole experience from start to finish was lovely. Angie, our server, forsaw our needs before we asked and made a real fuss of our 3 year old son, making the experience stress free for me as he had everything he needed. Food was delicious as always! Thank you M&C Kidlington.

We had a special family lunch for 8 , including a gluten free member in our party. Our waitress (I think her name was Shelley) was over and above helpful , particularly regarding the gluten free menu. All food was excellent and piping hot, the best fish and chips. In

Always excellent and consistent whichever restaurant. Recommend a visit. This.is.not a typical chain.

Great Sunday sharer, service was spot on and fantastic value - a great visit and Gonz was a lovely waiter!

We had a lovely meal celebrating my brother's 70th birthday at the Kidlington Miller & Carter. The food was excellent, and the service we received from Gonz was first class, he was very attentive and friendly. We've been to other Miller and Carter restaurants, and we have found them consistently good. Will definitely eat there again.

Our server Gonz was excellent. Very attention and offered great suggestions for our meal

First time visit, excellent quality steak. Service also very attentive and pleasant (shout out to Octavian)

Caitlin was amazing all evening. Wonderful service and good food

Octavius was our server he was attentive and friendly and had the answers ro all questions we had. Great service

The food was excellent, the atmosphere was good but unfortunately the service wasn't as good as the order kept coming up wrong. The staffs were very friendly though. I would definitely go back 😊

We had a fabulous meal for mother's day, our waiter Octavian, was absolutely fantastic. One of our party is on a strict keto diet and explained to Octavian his particular dietary needs, this was relayed to the kitchen and the food was superb. All the staff were really friendly and smiling, even though it was extremely busy. Well done to all the staff, we've always had excellent service and would highly recommend.

Recently had a meal there and we took our 1 year old. They were very accommodating and patient! Our server was so lovely and the food was amazing. Will definitely go again!

Shout out to Gonz for the great service. Great food as always.

The food was amazing, the restaurant was clean and our server Mauro was exceptional!

Angie … AKA Trish. Is the heart and soul of miller and carter her service is absolutely superb. We had such a lovely mothers day lunch full of laughter with Angie. Food was lovely and filled us up for the whole day

Great service, special shout out to Wittor 👍🏼

very good service great steak awsome my server was angie

Excellent meal this evening. Great food wonderfully cooked and we had the amazing Angie looking after us.

Had a very helpful staff member called Natasha. She normally works at the Banbury Miller and Carter restaurant. But would not of guest, she handle our order, quickly and officently and nothing was too much trouble.

We visited Sunday 23rd March 2025 and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We shared the Sunday sharer which was all cooked perfectly and so tasty! All the staff were really friendly and helpful, in particular our waiter Gonz! Really helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and his friendliness made for a lovely visit

Natasha our waitress was helpful & cheerful

First time at Miller and Carter and it did not disappoint. We were served by Angie who was great. Really friendly and had good banter. Food came quickly and was cooked to perfection. Very good portion size too. Was very full but made room for dessert. The choc brownie is a must. Will come back again!!

Thank you to the staff for doing my wife birthday plate see loved it ❤️

Great place to eat, lovely atmosphere, excellent service.

Had a great Sunday lunch here recently. Octavion was a great waiter. Attentive, polite, witty and engaging (we had an 8 year old with us who was included in the ordering process). Food came quickly and correctly, steak cooked to order and tasted great. Thank you for such a great service!

Great deals on a Sunday. 3 course fixed price...all the food was Great!

Best service and food the best super nice Gonz!!!

We visited for a family lunch. A very pleasant experience, all good could not asked for better.

Angie was good at the start then her shift ended and after that everything went downhill chips were cold after waiting 45 minutes for them

Lovely lunch today, our server was Alina, very friendly, efficient and super helpful

We ordered from the lunch set menu our waiter Gonz was fantastic. Very attentive and engaging. He took time to discuss the dietary requirements as one of our group of 5 has a shellfish allergy. Nothing was any trouble for him and he made the experience very enjoyable. The food was very good , served in timely manner. We didn’t have any issues with anything. Gonz is an asset to the restaurant. We will return. Thanks 🤩

The food was unreal. The staff were all so polite and kind. We did unfortunately get sat in a more child area for date night but the staff couldn't be more friendly. We would definitely go there again.

Angie was mad at me for not eating my food but was an amazing person and host ps took it ALL home

I visited the restaurant with three family members who were over from Ireland for the rugby match in Cardiff. I was most impressed with the lovely welcome. We were introduced to our Portuguese waiter, I believe his name was Gonzalez. He explained everything thoroughly about the menu, and recommendations. I have to say we all went for the rib eye steaks, 30 days matured. They were the best steaks we ever had. We have been to many steak houses, but this place is top class. I have been to Miller and Carter in London. This place was by far the best. The best service, the best food, and great atmosphere. The waiter recommended wonderful desserts. They were amazing. Gonzalez was so professional, friendly, but not obtrusive, like some places. He is a credit to the establishment. We were there two years previous. We certainly will be back to this wonderful restaurant. If you are a meat lover, look no further than this restaurant. I can highly recommend it.

Angie was incredible! A great experience

My mum and I had a wonderful lunch today, served by the lovely Georgia who was a delight. We will be back soon. Thank you! :)

Went for birthday meal with my partner and had the best experience! Our server Burcu was lovely attentive polite. Food was fantastic! Ate every bite! Served drinks by Salem/Millie and she was funny and great service. Caitlin served me cocktails at the bar after dinner. She was great at recommendations really knew her stuff and the cocktails were amazing. Great atmosphere over all so glad I had my birthday meal here on the 8th. We have already booked again for our anniversary!

Once again a suitable place to break our long journey from the North returning to Hampshire. Comfortable, welcoming , good standard of both food and service

Lovely Sunday evening dinner at the Kidlington Miller & Carter. Food was lovely, with outstanding service from Georgia. Thank you so much.

Great pub, good food and service.

Great Food, and even better service, Georgia was super helpful and lovely! Definitely recommend this place

Only criticism. Food was not very hot.

We had the privilege of having Georgia be our server today! I can honestly say she was flawless! Helped us with fussy orders and was very professional and polite! She is an absolute credit to this team!

First visit to a Miller & Carter and I can't fault anything from the food, to the service and how they managed an allergy. I will definitely return.

Mauro, was a great server and the food was excellent, always leave full after eating the 16oz ribeye which was cooked perfectly at medium.

Great service- Mauro was very attentive and friendly during our meal! And the steak was very well cooked and served, thank you.

Me and my family had a lovely evening. Mauro took care of us and made us feel very welcome. Food was fantastic

Despite being really busy the service was great , well done Georgia

Georgia out waitress was really lovely, chatty and attentive! Food delicious as always, and great price

Mauro gave outstanding service, best I’ve had in years! Was exceptionally knowledgeable about the menu and have great recommendations! Lucky to have you on your team!

It was a busy evening so service was a little slow but our waitress Georgia apologised and was really helpful and attentive for our orders. She also bought a birthday candle in the pudding for our daughter. Really nice evening

We've just had a lovely meal at Miller and Carter in Kidlington. The steaks were beautifully cooked and our server, Joan, couldn't have been more helpful .

Very attentive and helpful staff

Very expensive, not great service as had to get waiters attention to get a drink every time.

Georgia was lovely, complimented my lightning Mcqueen crocs which was very nice

Mauro was a great waiter. Food & service were great. Thank you.

Had an amazing date night with my wife last weekend and would highly recommend. The steak was expertly cooked, and ambiance was just right for us to unwind and enjoy the meal. I also want to give a big shout out to our server, Sherman, he was friendly, knowledgeable and helped to crown a perfect evening.

Had a lovely meal staff was excellent highly recommend

Excellent service from Mauro thank you!

We went out for a beautiful meal and the service was outstanding. We were served Mauro email the experience so much better being polite and Unit using manners go a long way for me we will be definitely coming back in a couple of weeks outstanding food and service

Visited this afternoon to try the Sunday sharing roast.....it certainly didn't disappointing! Delicious! Obviously had to order a side of the onion loaf 😋 Meat perfectly cooked and very generous portions of greens and potatoes. Add to that, copious amounts of the Delicious beef dripping gravy...perfection! 😋 One of our party had allergies, and our server and the duty manager Mauro couldn't have been more helpful. Mauro listened to our concerns, reassuring us that he would do everything he could to make everyone aware, to avoid any cross contamination, and when the food arrived, we had little green flags on the food that indicated that all the food had been checked and was good to go! Well done Miller and Carter for being so scrupulous! Mauro also couldn't have been more attentive during our visit. He was there when we wanted anything but gave us our space when we didn't....such a lovely guy, kind, bubbly, and extremely professional with the best customer experience at the front of everything he does. Thank you so much Mauro for such a lovely experience.

The food was absolutely delicious, the service from Angie was excellent. She worked really hard to keep everyone happy and had us laughing from start to finish. Thank you for a great meal.

We have been here a few times and the food and service has always been excellent. Unfortunately this time we ordered 3 steaks which came with lettuce that had gnats in them! We told the waitress who was very good, she said she told the manager and replaced the lettuce which came out with gnats in them again! Just a sorry from the waitress, the manager was no where to be seen!! Will not be going there again!!

me and my partner just went for a meal here, food was so quick and we was greeted so nicely, i would like to say a massive thankyou to our server Sherman, he kept coming over to make sure we was okay and made sure we had everything we needed, will definitely be coming again soon!

Good food, excellent wagyu steak. Excellent service 👏

Good value for money set lunch menu

Great food as always, server Octavian was very attentive. Another visit and another exceptional meal. Angie served us and was fantastic, very attentive and had great banter.

Perfect experience, food was excellent and staff Mauro very polite and professional.

Booked our table for our anniversary today, our server was Luke and he was 10/10! Couldn't ask for a better one, very honest, open and very easy to talk too! Luke made it the best experience. The food was delicious and came at good time, the set menu was amazing price for what you get. Highly recommend to anyone, it does get busy (obviously the food is amazing). I didn't release you can only leave 1 review so I'll just add our third visit onto this one: Once again we visited Miller and carter and again the service and food was 10/10. We were looked after by Mauro and Gonz. We are at start of our third week of Keto diet and they were amazing. Both have done keto themselves so very knowledgeable and was able to provide advice on everything. Highly recommend going there with keto diet as you will be in safe hands. To be fair we recommend going on any diet. They recommend when booking a table to make a note of your diet in the special requests so if you don't get these two amazing gentleman then another amazing member of the team will help you. Both steaks were good as requested and mouth watering. Aways a fabulous time when we go. There was no problem with parking this time as plenty of spaces. Keep up the amazing work!

Great food and lovely service. Well worth a visit.

Great service and very polite. Highly recommend

Brilliant service from Georgia and Mauro they couldn't do enough. The food was brilliant and came out in a timely manner. They handled a large group of us really really well. Definitely coming back

Everyone at Kidlington were super polite and ensured that every need was taken care of. A massive thank you to Georgia for the great hospitality and banter :) James & Tom

Great service with a smile. Food was hearty and delicious. Wine good too. Place was busy as it was Sunday lunch, but staff were coping well.

Excellent service & delicious food. Waitress staff helpful & polite

First visit, lovely ambience, delicious food, lovely service by Angie, thank you

Good service, Friendly Helpful Staff..Quality of Food/Steak not the best.. Ok second time eating here and have to say the Steaks are poor, Rump the first time so maybe understandable However Chewy Meat even on a so called Black Angus 8oz.For the Money their are so many places to get a better piece of Steak that Here..It is a Franchise and have experinced much the same at the 3 other Miller & Carters I have tried Berryfields, Aylesbury and Birmingham...Maybe its my Palet..🤔

Great Sunday lunch. Great food, great service, Good choice of beers and wine. Lovely atmosphere

We recently dined at Miller & Carter Kidlington for my partners birthday, but it didn’t get off to the best start. Despite having a booking, we were kept waiting for 30 minutes past our reservation time as it had apparently been "deleted." This was quite frustrating, especially as another table was sat at our reserved table meaning they nearly ended up with our £20 deposit being deducted off of their bill by mistake. Thankfully, once we were finally seated, things improved. Our server, Angie, was absolutely superb, friendly, and professional. She really turned the evening around with her excellent service, making sure we were well looked after. The food was enjoyable, and thanks to Angie, we still had a pleasant dining experience despite the initial issues.

It was our 1st experience of going to a Miller and Carter, with my wife being Coeliac, she always has to be careful, not many restaurants have a Gluten Free menus, yours had a lot of choice, the food was amazing. The staff were fantastic. One gripe, you advise smart casual dress, no sportswear, i wear trainers all the time, so for my visit i wore some shoes, imagine my surprise when i arrived and saw people with sports trainers on.

Friday lunch excellent food great service and a lovely atmosphere. Our server was Wilton excellent.

Happy and professional people!! Octavian was pleasant and helpful despite the fully book restaurant on valentines day!!

Our server Octavian was so friendly and attentive. The food and service is always amazing at the Kidlington location and we come here regularly to enjoy an evening of great food and service.
