Miller & Carter Steakhouse - Aylesbury Vale in Aylesbury Vale

The food was always delicious, went for lunch special. The service was top notch again thank you 😊

As always the food in this chain doesn’t fail to impress but tonight we were particularly impressed by our service. Our host was called Marina and she was super efficient and proessional with a big smile throughout. It’s the icing on the cake to a lovely night.

The service from Harith and Amy was immaculate and gave very positive vibes. Furthermore, they were very kind and friendly. Not to mention the food was very nice and I enjoyed it thoroughly and an overall a great experience. I would definitely come back here and will recommend it to others. Thank you Harith and Amy

Great service from Marina, very attentive. Tasty food. Will return.

Food was top-tier with the excellent service to match. First time visitor so of course I had to get a steak, which didn’t disappoint. I got the Ribeye steak with bone marrow Béarnaise and seasoned chips. Banging! Flavourful, rich and juicy. No complaints. Lastly, I ended on a sticky toffee pudding. It was a bit too sweet but what do you expect. Now on to the service. Shout out to our server, Ibby. One of the best servers I had the pleasure of meeting. Great energy, funny and respectful, truly made it such an comfortable experience. Thank again for the food guys, would come again 👌🏽

Great place to come for a drink and food. Came in late on Sunday. Sam on the bar was very prompt and professional. Will be back soon! Thank you!

What can I say apart from perfect. Harith my waiter was attentive and couldn’t do enough to please. The food was delicious, thank you chefs, my steak was as tender as you could wish for. My birthday non alcoholic drink was recommended and lovely. My only wish knowing I visit every few weeks and also Christmas Day was that the manager would say hello, or thank you or goodbye, or anything in fact. But no, no eye contact and no friendliness. If it wasn’t for the lovely staff and the food and the amazing chefs, I wouldn’t be back.

Fast and friendly service. Great steaks.

Marina was a lovely host who looked after my husband and I all evening. We had a lovely time eating and enjoying ourselves here, as always. Look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Stopped off for a meal here, never again. First the glasses came out looking like they had just had a smoothie left to dry inside them, the waitress poured my coke and it fizzed so much it went flat. We ordered château Brea cooked medium with the standard salad and side of “seasoned” chips and garlic mushrooms. We were amazed to watch one of the kitchen staff joking with the waitresses, putting his fingers in his mouth and then going straight to making our salads, tossing them with his hands, gobsmacked! Needless to say we didn’t touch them! The château Brea then arrived and when we cut into it we found it virtually raw, in fact a good vet could have brought it round! We asked for it to be butterflied and cooked more so that it was medium but after waiting another 10 minutes it came back somehow equally rare and I’m not sure anyone understood “butterflied”, even the manager said, “nope that is definitely rare”, I’m no chef but christ, I can cook a simple steak! When our plates came back they had been re-plated so we lost all our mushrooms which no one picked up on. The chips were cold and had no “seasoning” (which is apparently just salt) and the entire evening was a total waste of time. We ate three mouthful’s and decided to leave. I did speak to the manager who was actually a nice guy but obviously by this point wasn’t going to be able to do to much to remedy the situation. Had I been a hygiene inspector I am confident they would have been seriously called out. Needless to say I will never be eating here again. Word of advice, if you can’t teach your staff how to follow the simplest of hygiene rules (or how to cook the one thing you serve), don’t sit diners next to an open kitchen!

The whole evening was wonderful - friendly and helpful staff, food was delicious and atmosphere was great. We made a few special requests and menu changes and they were all accommodated without issue, including special decaf espresso martinis! Thanks for a fab evening!

Great service from our waitress sadly food was cold on both starters and main meals puddings however where delicious

Recommend not using this restaurant!

Lovely food, nice ambience and great service from Marina she was so friendly and helpful! Thank you for a lovely evening 😘

I visited the restaurant today for the first time and I will not be returning. The food was alright when it was finally served but for the price we paid the whole experience was below the expected standard. To start as I went to the restroom I overheard a waitresses discussing an issue with another table when one of then quite boldly announced that the issue wasn’t her fault and if another member of staff had a problem with it it’s her fault as she drinks on the job, we should have left then. Then the man who I can only assume was the manager was very rude and unprofessional. He spent the most part of our visit pointlessly wondering round and I overheard him on a number of occasions discussing other customers in a less than pleasant way. The rest of the staff seemed incredibly stressed and it is clearly not a happy work environment. The service was that slow we even considered leaving overall I’m very unhappy with the experience I had.

We came here for a family birthday meal and had a lovely meal. Service was perfect. Friendly attentive staff. Who went the extra mile. Thank you especially to Marina who looked after us so well.

Amazing burgers, steak and atmosphere. Marina was lovely too. Thank you for your hospitality

Steak was not up to normal standard, service was super slow.

I was very disappointed with the customer service we received from staff on Valentine’s Day -14th Feb2025. We had a table booked for 5:15, unfortunately we were running late due to traffic and I had called up to inform the staff about this before. They reassured me that they will hold the table for 15 minutes. I arrived at the check in desk at 5:27 but unfortunately had a couple in front of me. When i approached staff to inform them of my booking, one of your colleagues very rudely said that it was 5:30 and they had given away our table. Considering how hard it is to find a restaurant on Valentine’s Day, it was very unprofessional to give away the table when I was in fact within the 15 minute time interval. If you are going to say that you will hold the table for 15 mins… I expect you to respect this policy and offer the table afterwards. I also notice that your team blatantly lied in another review left, related to this booking - stating that we were “20 minutes late”. I truly do not appreciate the dishonestly your team have posted publicly and it comes across as extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. If you would like to dine at a restaurant who values and respects their customers, I would not recommend this restaurant at all.

Food was perfectly cooked and service was great manager who greeted us was friendly and welcomed us wonderfully however another manager we encountered during our visit and upon leaving did dampen our mood as she clearly didn’t want to be there. Steaks were cooked perfectly moist and delicious and the Mac and cheese is to die for. Storm was great friendly and gave recommendations and really made our visit

* this is a response to the the abject lie left below, as I did not originally even feel like giving a reason because I was so angry at the way I was treated. No, we were not 20 minutes late so that is a lie. We were within the allowed 15 minute window and you gave our table to the 2 people stood in front of us while we were in the queue. When we pleaded asking if you had any remaining tables for the night, the employee at the reception was both rude and totally unempathetic, realising how difficult it is to get a table on Valentines.

Food cooked to perfection & Ella our waitress was an angel. Would 100% return & recommend. The staff are all really friendly & the ambiance was really nice

Took my elderly parents out for a meal this evening. They don’t get out much and found the menu hard to get there heads round - our waitress Ella was so accommodating and patient explaining all the options to them with a smile. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Sea bass was lovely but veggies were cold and pots a wee bit burnt.

Great atmosphere met my son who lives in the are. Service was brilliant! Thank you

Enjoyed the atmosphere and our server Isabella was outstanding.

Lovely evening, experiendex waitress who was very attentive and swift.

Restaurant was clean and staff were friendly and accomodating of food allergies. Multiple mistakes were made on our order though and the service was exceptionally slow, despite being mid-week and less than half full. It took 20+ minutes before they even took a drinks order. They brought the side salad for part of the table half an hour before they brought the main. The food, when it arrived, was hot and the steak well cooked (the steak was more medium than medium-rare, but that is me being picky). The portions were generous (even if the salad was literally just a quarter of a lettuce head in a bowl with some dressing). The prices were fairly high considering and frankly I have had steak just as good at pubs in Aylesbury that cost half the price. I could have excused the long waits, or the slow service, or the overpriced food if they were individual issues, but the overall feeling when we left was that whilst a pleasant evening overall, it wasn't worth the cost compared to other options with a similar menu.

The dinner was lovely. The food was good. Everything else like drinks and dessert as well as the service was really good.

1st rate! Exceptional lunch for 2.

I always enjoy visiting Miller and Carter Aylesbury, as their steaks are consistently delicious. However, during our recent Christmas dinner with a family of eight, two of the steaks were unfortunately overcooked, which was quite disappointing. I hope this is addressed, as I’d love to see the usual high standards maintained. Looking forward to my next visit!

The ambiance is lovely and the servers were very friendly and helpful and approachable. I have dietary restrictions and they absolutely went above and beyond to help. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations. Of particular concern, is being served one quarter of lettuce. Under no dictionary that I could find does a salad consist of 1/4 of lettuce! We arrived for a 5:00 p.m. reservation and were finally served our dinner at 7:20 p.m. It's nice enough and the food was acceptable, but I could not recommend it for food or price.

Went here for lunch today Ella was our waitress and she was absolutely amazing very good service, food was outstandingly good will go back again, highly teccomend.

Steak is fantastic staff are amazing

Ran out of Steak at 4:30pm !!!!

Excellent food, service was good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Much improved since my last visit.

We found Ella to be very pleasant and helpful. She went out of her way to make sure we were happy with our meals and made suggestions to help us make up our minds.

Lovely place with amazing meat.

Brilliant service by Ella, tasty steak and delicious puddings. Thanks for a lovely Sunday afternoon!

Was looked after by Harith this evening who was more than happy to help and making us feel so welcome at the restaurant, he was aware it was a very busy evening so apologised in advance for the wait and dealt with everything so that we had no problems with the evening. Great work Harith, you set a fantastic example to how customer service should be. 5/5*!

Appalling. Me and my partner visited for New Years Eve. Firstly sat at a small table next to a dark, food stained wall. After being reseated, it took forever to be asked if we wanted drinks and Prosecco (included with the set menu) needed to be prompted otherwise they never would’ve arrived. Prawns to start were overcooked and dry. Ribeye was okay. Partner’s fillet was stringy and extremely chewy. Not sure where M&C are sourcing their meat but it’s definitely changed in recent years. Onion loaf was tepid and tasteless (usually my favourite). The mango pavlova was absolutely fantastic and the highlight of the meal. All in all, it took over 2 and a half hours to get through our meal with staff constantly forgetting to replenish cutlery and not being proactive to even clear the table or ask if we would like any more drinks. We were never asked during the meal if everything was ok. The usual things you’d expect paying a decent amount of money were massively lacking. In total, the meal for two came to £190. I wouldn’t say it was worth even half that. I used to love M&C but unfortunately I won’t be returning soon, and most definitely not to Miller & Carter Aylesbury.

Wonderful service, food amazing , definitely will come back.

We had the set four course Christmas dinner, we only had three courses as we were served the second course as soon as we sat down (so they skipped the bread board) which was either over cooked (the prawns) or half missing (the cheese soufflé)! The third course was sparse with undercooked twig like half a carrot & 1 broccoli stem, two anaemic roast potato quarters and a minute portion of turkey with no pigs in blankets or any sign of the puréed parsnips: The fourth course (or third for us!) consisted of cold tinned pears (supposedly poached in saffron) and a microwave chocolate pudding, both of which we got after a 20 min wait. A very expensive disappointment that will not be repeated!

Food was excellent. Service however was appaling. Waited 25 minutes to get second drinks. Waited half hour between each course & 1 of out party Waited 15 minutes for the sweet after other 4 were delivered. Will not be returning based on the service given.

Fantastic meal very very helpful staff go back yes . Went in the area we come from Leicestershire .

The food was super delicious, and the service was even better. A massive thanks to Harrith who was the most professional and most friendly server we have ever had in aylesbury. He made fantastic recommendations and always aproached us with the biggest smile. The restaurant has great atmosphere. We had a fantastic time and cant wait to come back.

This was a wholly average dining experience. Both my learned friend and I had the burger. We both ordered pink, which neither was. The burger was supposed to have some sort of pulled beef, which was definitely not “pulled” and was rather just coming out of the burger in large, chewy chunks. Really quite disappointing. Wine choice was nice, service was decent, but food was slow to come. It took over an hour to get mains.

We had Lovely food there. Service was great. There was just 2 of us, the 2 seater tables were a bit too close together for my liking but all in all I would definitely recommend. The parking was great too.

We had a large staff meal here, in which ibby was our server and we couldn't thank him enough! He is a real credit to your team, he was personable and went above and beyond for everyone! It's not often you find someone so charismatic for a loud drunk bunch! Thank you for looking after us and making our team night out so enjoyable!

Great service and assistance from Ella... made a lunchtime brunch very enjoyable. Thank you

Great eatery, good food, large parking area, and marvellous food. Beautiful and well designed place to cater for both individuals and groups. Friendly staff 👌🏾

We loved the overall experience. Good food, great atmosphere and very friendly serving staff. Special thanks to Max who was super friendly and we loved everything. He is so good with the kids .

The Surf & Turf was amazing,.will definitely be back soon,

Meet some friends here for the fixed lunchtime menu £19.95 for three course can’t go wrong really good value for money The setting is lovely welcome- in and clean , food was delicious steak was cooked to perfection Our waiter Harith is an absolute credit to the steakhouse, such a friendly and cheerful young man very polite made us very welcome and his service was outstanding We definitely be returning Thank you

Great "Date Night" after some Christmas shopping. Great food and wonderful experience. Max was brilliant! Highly recommend.

I have given a low rating due to the billing. The waitress was great the food was lovely but, we ended up having to pay £50 more due to their mistake on the billing. They don’t have a set button on the till for their set menu and when a cocktail was ordered instead of the dessert, as you can on the set menu for a supplement they charged for a full price cocktail. The manager was aware of the mistake and pointed it out but still charged us. Be careful and make it totally clear you want the cocktail of the set menu even though the names are similar.

New management has turned this place back around! I am happy that my favourite local steakhouse is back on top once again! Huge credit to the fantastic staff and chefs making the dining experience excellent!

Lovely steak, cooked beautifully, service with a smile.

A great place for a nice lunch. Can't wait to go back for an evening meal.

A massive thank you to our waitress she was honestly the most loveliest and funniest lady I have yet met in any hospitality, she deserves a pat on the back because no matter how busy you was tonight she made sure she gave us everything we needed and more I will definitely be back Thank you mariua (apologies if I have your name wrong)

We regularly dine at Miller & Carter in Didcot where the food and service is outstanding, although the food and service in Aylesbury was a major let down, with rude staff over cooked stake and a 50 minute wait, even though the restaurant was empty. What a shame for the Miller & Carter restaurant chain.

Amazing place with amazing food and very pleasant and trained staff

Sophie, assistant managers and waitress, was a wonderful host and very accommodating to our needs. Her smiley friendly face welcomed us and she provided a good service with a helpful "can do" attitude.

Ibby was my waiter was a well good guy! Regular check ups great service. Really great waiter. Had I problem with my discount and he went above and beyond to make sure it worked and I didn’t pay the wrong price. Great service excellent food would definitely recommend just make sure sit in Ibby area of restaurant.

Miller & carter Aylesbury is just perfect in every aspect.

Very poor food wise... calamari starter was dreadful.. like fried cardboard... steak tiny and full of gristle.. a very poor show indeed.. bottle of fizzy water is a fiver.... Never again 😒

Amazing food, great atmosphere , great for family s

This was our first to a Miller and Carter establishment, and we weren't disappointed! Service was great from the moment we arrived. Our drinks and food order were taken as soon as we were ready,. Our meals arrived in a decent amount of time after ordering and our waiter Max checked that everything was okay with our meals. Both my husband and I really enjoyed our main courses, and our desserts. Max our waiter, was friendly and gave great service throughout. We'll definitely be back

Excellent service from Magdalena!

Magdalena was an absolutely wonderful host, very professional and courteous. I would come back again!

Great service by Magdalena. Lovely food

Magdelana was friendly and efficient

Absolutely amazing service from Magda honestly every time we come in here Magda had been the most polite and helpful always suggesting different cocktails etc. We love the food but the service is first class.

Lovely ambience, fantastic staff and Marina really looked after us. Good steak too.

Marina was a fantastic host and was very attentive throughout our visit. Would definitely visit again.

Great food and everything as expected. Everytime satisfied

Food was outstanding and couldn’t fault anything. Was recommended the cote d boufe experience by the manager Sophie who took our order as our waitress was busy and she allowed us to change a side as my wife’s preference. The whole experience was simply fantastic and after previous bad experiences a couple of years ago has restored our faith and will be back Steph who also looked after us was great very friendly just very busy. Special thank you to both her and Sophie for being so patient and really made our experience and whoever was the chef well done because it was perfect. Thank you

Foof was amazing, Magdalena was friendly and provided us with great customer service.

Food was lovely and the service was amazing from Magdelena. She was very attentive

Was serve by Magda in aylesbury and she was amazing, helpful and fun

We had a reservation for family lunch on Sunday. Half of tables was free, it wasn’t busy Sunday for this steakhouse. We’ve ordered three courses meals for three people. I wanted cauliflower wings as a starter, and I had CHICKEN WINGS after 40 minutes of waiting!! We had drinks quickly, but after that my husband was waiting for 25 minutes for another drink! Waiter was ignoring our table. He said “it’s very busy, and you have to wait” - that’s it! After ONE HOUR we had stakes. We’ve ordered medium rare steaks, and then we had well done 🤦🏻‍♀️ AFTER ONE HOUR OF WAITING. Waiter said we can wait for new ones… probably another 30 minutes. This is some kind of joke. We’re so disappointed. I wouldn’t recommend this place. We will not go back for sure. Waist of time and money!!!

Service was spot on Food was amazing Definitely will return

Had a really great lunch here. Harith our waiter was top draw. Food was really good.thanks

Celebrated my Nan’s 90th here with a party of 20 people. We cannot fault anything. The food was delicious- all hot and came out at the same time. No issues with wrong orders or missed items, very impressive for a three course meal for 20 people! The service was exceptional, a special shout out to Ibby our steak specialist who was friendly and attentive throughout. We all had a wonderful time, thank you.

We come every year, and it's a very lovely restaurant, however we preferred the previous table lights... 😅 🔥

Harith was very good and helpful

Great value for money as we had lunchtime special, calamari and steak, wine always good but a little cramped while eating, also nice that they allowed my support dog in with me for the dinner we had before and it was a good experience. Dinner was delicious

Not recommend . Having to say I have planned to visit them every week . Very dissatisfying service . The restaurant was completely empty, nevertheless I have been seated at smallest table between elderly couples. Could not relax. Could not enjoy. Could not eat /talk. Table was dirty. More than that been charged double than the price on the menu

Absolutely fabulous visit, brilliant attentive but not over bearing staff, who were fabulous throughout. They made a special gesture with something special when finding out we were celebrating a special big birthday for our son. A truely great evening, the food was devine and there were 4 totally empty plates at the end, a shame we didn't have space for dessert because I'm certain it would have been amazing. Thank you team

Magdalena served us for a 2nd time. Lovely experience on our date night

Visited with my partner and a very disappointing experience. Firstly, I know this is a steak restaurant but as a vegetarian that goes with my meat-eating family the very limited options have not changed since my first visit well over a year ago. Secondly my partner’s steak was not as ordered, the waitress offered for a new one to be cooked but that we’d need to pay for both in that case. Two people on our table had ordered this steak from our party and the quality and cut was clearly different. This should have been a treat for us, but we couldn’t pay for an extra serving and so my partner was left without any food after we sent it back. They obviously operate a customer is wrong and we know better policy.

Hannah was amazing !!! We came to miller and carter as a family for a birthday celebration on the 20th October 2024. And she was so observant and gave us all th information we needed. Really polite girl. Huge asset to this restaurant. The Sunday sharer board was amazing and cooked to perfection. Massive shout out to the chefs as well!!

Really nice food and amazing service by Hannah

Hi I was at miller and carter and I ordered a Rib eye stake and I was tried to be fobbed off with Rump stake. Is not nice when the manager comes out and tries to give you that I was at the butchers when they cut the Rib eye stake. What I would like to ask is that, why didn't they just come up and say we don't have any more Rib eye would you rather have something else? For the sake off £15 over. The manager lady that evening realised that she was wrong and walked away with the stake. Dear Miller and Carter Aylesbury sort your self out and deal the real stake. Not nice

Very good service, lots of waiters to ask for things, nice music warm atmosphere. Food was great like always and very welcoming. Magdalena, our waiter was very quick and polite.

Had an amazing dinner with my family. Good and atmosphere was great. Magdalena was so friendly, helpful and a lovely individual. She made our time wonderful.

Loved the evening out. Harith was amazing, great vibes and energy. Food was incredible and service even better. Cheers Harith!

Took my parter out for date night, the food was amazing as usual and top quality service from our waitress Magdalena this evening which topped of our evening.

Had a great night, our server Magdalena was extremely attentive and helpful, she made our overall experience worthwhile

Magdalena was lovely, service was great and food was lovely
