Miller of Mansfield in South Oxfordshire

Food poor quality, particular for the cost. The chap who I think may be the manager was grumpy & customer service was non-existent.

My partner and I went back to the pub here a second time for lunch and liked it even more! They have great food, drink, friendly and attentive staff, good value, and great decor and atmosphere :-) I thoroughly recommend it! :-)

I've stopped here overnight a few times for work. Rooms are decent size, but soundproofing isn't the best being an old property above a pub but does get quiet as the night goes on. The food in the restaurant is top notch, breakfast isn't as good, the full english was a let down but the eggs benedict is great, they don't skimp on the hollandaise. The village is a great location too. Good for star gazing on a clear night.

Will start with the positive - staff were really friendly. Food was average but good enough for an evening meal for an overnight work stay. My main issue was I barely slept as you can hear the village clock chiming all throughout the night. The windows need proper double glazing fitted! The room itself was okay, just a shame about the noise.

We were having a meal here for a birthday celebration and made a reservation for nine people. We were already not too impressed that we had to pre-order our meals a week in advance, which meant that we did not know what the soup of the day or pie of the day would be and also ruled us out of having any of the specials. As it turned out there weren't really any specials as the board was blank apart from a soup and some nachos. We arrived on a lovely sunny Saturday lunchtime when Goring itself was packed with people and expected the pub to busy but when we arrived there was no-one in the restaurant. We were shown to our table by a pretty grumpy man and given some water for the table. Our starters arrived as pre-ordered and we had the pork gyros which were really disappointing, the pork which should have been shredded appeared to have come out of a pre-packed meat product and was served on a pretty unappetising pitta bread. With regard to the mains the burgers were pretty dry, and the sausage and mash literally is just that so you need to order a side of vegetables which obviously adds the cost. The tortellini was ok but left an after taste and when it came to the desserts the brownie was hard. We certainly would think again before returning to the Miller of Mansfield, the food is overpriced for what it is, and the pub itself although being a lovely building in a lovely location is certainly being let down by the food.

EDIT: strange night - this is my village pub, and at 4pm, and 8.30pm - a table not making really any noise beyond a usual Friday evening, we're told to leave or keep it down for the "guests". I pointed out "we" are there all the time not the one night. Odd customer service. The bad staff are lovely - the owner isn't so good at this. Plenty pubs in Goring that don't treat people that are paying high prices like that. Yawn.

I went there few time just for few drinks it wasn't that bad.nice garden

The pub is located in the High Street and also close to the River Thames. We stayed over and the room was large and comfortable. The food was particularly good in the evening and the breakfast one of the best I have had in a long time. Well worth a visit.

Really friendly welcoming place which allows dogs inside,a family pub, food and service excellent, often theres someone playing on the piano a truly lovely place to relax and catch up with friends

Lovely little Pub, My dad and I are huge George Michael fans and this was a perfect place to celebrate our birthdays ! So many wonderful framed art work of GM scattered around the pub and just over the road from the beautiful river. When we first walked in we were greeted by a lovely waitress, the food was delicious would highly recommend and will certainly be back!

Avoid, terrible frozen food with no flavour and poorly cooked. Terrible

Great pub and now under new ownership. Well worth a visit

Very disappointing, uninterested waitress, cold food, inedible potatoes, looked like boiled not roasted, wrong order, and to be told the kitchen had closed so no desert, ! We were the only ones eating so not that busy that they forgot us , will not be going back. !!!

A beautiful pub in a beautiful village. Very quiet on the day I visited but service was excellent and the food was of great quality and value for money. I popped in for a quick 'working' lunch and had the Smoked Salmon and Cream cheese sandwich with fries. The sandwich was 'loaded' with filling and served on lovely bread.

Great food and breakfast. Professional helpful staff. Bit too noisy at night for us, difficult to sleep until after midnight

Fantastic place, loved it. ❤️ Brilliant waiting staff, Ashling was our server, she was absolutely brilliant! Better than 5 star!

Third review of this restaurant in a little over a month. First time really good, excellent steak perfectly cooked, great fish and chips. Second time a disaster, run out of steak (at 7pm in the evening) and the fish rather than a complete piece of fish was three bits (apparently the broken bits from the bottom of the box). This time checked they had steak before going, and again it came perfectly cooked. Indeed all the food was very good. The down side was again they had run out of some items so my starter was unavailable and at 7pm in the evening the daily special had all gone. If only they would sort out their stock control so most of the time items promised on the menu are available this would be a 5.

On Monday went here and had an outstanding meal so returned on Thursday as it was my friends’ Wedding Anniversary. So disappointing. They let us have drinks, sit down, peruse the menu, place our order and then ten minutes later announced they had run out of steak. It was a quiet Thursday night how can this have suddenly happened. One of my friends could not find any suitable alternative on the menu (he can’t eat fish) and declined to eat. The other and I chose the Fish and Chips, which on Monday had been a large crispy battered fish with good chips. Clearly they had also run out of whole fish as we were both served with three pieces of broken fish, poorly cooked with sub-standard chips. We complained to the duty manager who grudgingly reduced the bill by just £30 on a total bill of £150. We didn’t really want a discount we wanted a nice meal to celebrate their wedding anniversary, sadly we were badly let down.

Had cooked breakfast here with my son during a walking trip. The food and service were good, and good value. Home made baked beans were excellent. The vegan breakfast needs thought though. On the menu was a vegetarian breakfast, and the vegan version was the same but with no eggs or butter. Yes, it was vegan, and yes, the food there was, was good. But seeing vegan dishes as just other dishes minus some parts isn’t very imaginative. A vegan spread for toast is not hard to find, and given avocado was on the menu elsewhere, a replacement for the eggs wouldn’t be too hard either. If these things could be addressed it would help a lot.

Nice food at a decent price. There was one vegan option which was very good apparently. Very little gluten free and I managed to spot that they brought English mustard (not GF) when I asked if they had Dijon. Very close to the Thames.

I went in to the Miller t eat lunch. The amount of food is adequate and delicious.

Nice pub, friendly staff, great beer garden and the food was good I would go there again ....

Very nice pub with a garden, it has limited parking, However the staff are friendly and helpful...food was good and the place has a great atmosphere...

This place is excellent. Lovely room, great evening meal and beers. Breakfast was awesome and the staff are all super nice. I will defo be back one day..

Great place, yummy Sunday roast and really great friendly service.

Had a late brunch and pint. I can't remember if it was a lamb or pork flatbread type thing. Anyway, the portions were pretty stingy...could have done with a little bit more of everything except tomato. The pub is quite nice inside and didn't realise it was George Michael's local for many a year. Imagine my delight when Freedom by him came on the radio as I was eating!

Had the Blt with fries at lunchtime, definitely filled us up! 🌞

I have been here a few times over the last 15 years when passing through. The staff are always great but I understand the place has changed hands and the food, whilst perfectly acceptable is not what it was. Think pub grub not gastro pub. As I had travelled for 2 hours to get there I was a tad disappointed. Hopefully this can resolve itself as new management finds its feet.

I live in the village so didn't stay, but as a pub it is friendly and welcoming. A good choice of beers including Campden and Renegade, two of my favourites so I'll be back!

We enjoyed a three night stay here, with plenty of positives. Not luxurious but a nice spacious room (booking described a 'superior double') and really great breakfast, especially if you love eggs, and staff were very accommodating. It's well positioned for the Thames Path and 7 mins walk to railway station. Sadly no parking, and most is weekday 8-6 max 2 hours, but if you're lucky you'll find free kerbside spaces in the one road we found nearby. Be careful if you need a taxi, they have to come from Wallerford, meaning we were quoted £20plus for a 2 mile trip to a restaurant. Couple of minuses: shower wasn't as hot as you'd want, and shaver plug would have been handy. Not a problem for us, but if you're an early sleeper, be warned that until the pub shuts (10pm Mon to Thu, 11pm otherwise) there's a noticeable amount of crowd burble. Ask for a quiet room..if they exist as it has 13!

Friendly pub, great beer , whisky and brandy. The rooms were lovely and nice and clean . Thanks to all the staff for an enjoyable stay. Would recommend.

A really nice and cosy pub with good vibes.

Great landlord, great food and drink

Buzzy vibe in old hotel surroundings. Funky feeling. Beer selection not quite as good as the setting but hey ho. Decent food.

Went for a family Sunday lunch which was average at best. Staff very friendly and helpful and I would go again as others in my party really enjoyed their food but mine was average

We have just had an extremely enjoyable meal here this evening. The food was tasty, plentiful, nicely presented and HOT!! We would like to commend our server Charlotte, a delightful and extremely hard working young lady, a credit to the establishment. I hope they appreciate her.

I cannot say enough nice things about this lovely pub. Friendly helpful staff, great atmosphere and delicious food. We were in Goring to support our son in a Centurion race and ended up spending most of the afternoon in the warm welcome of this gem of a village pub.

Lovely service, staff. Lovely atmosphere. Wonderful food, slightly spoilt by the addition of salt to the chips by the kitchen staff. We prefer not to have salt at all, let alone added by someone else.

Came with daughter for Sunday lunch. Very attentive and polite staff but food very poor. I had chicken and leek pie. Very thick tasteless pastry with very little filling. Few chicken pieces but no leek and thick sauce that just tasted of flour. Chips ok. Really would expect a lot better for this establishment and surprised that locals are happy with this standard of food.

Lovely pub set in the beautiful village of Goring . Very pretty decor , attentive staff , good menu and tasty food. Really enjoyed it

My husband and I dropped in for a breakfast and so glad we did. I had the Vegetarion English breakfast and my husband had the Full English Breakfast. Both were very tasty and cooked so well. Definitely recommend it. Sorry no photo, we just tucked in!

Lovely roast dinner with loads of vegetables and gravy and great sirloin beef, The other half really loved the Bumble Bee Cider altogether a lovely vist and will be visiting again soon

Stunning place, tastefully decorated, friendly, helpful staff. Room had all the touches you needed, dressing table, tissues, water, and other usuals, bath so deep you could float in it. Breakfast was very high quality, sourdough bread, generous teapot, fourth hotel stayed in recently, beat all the others hands down, if I were to say anything negative it would be you are underselling yourselves, thank you so much

Was very hungry when I hiked into Goring. I ordered the ribs, but one rack was tough and undercooked with red bits on, and the second was semi raw and literally bleeding blood. I was so hungry that I couldn't be bothered to complain, chewed off some of the bits that were edible, and pushed the plate aside. What followed is why I haven't given this pub the lowest rating. I mentioned it to the member of staff who table-cleared my plate, and she was aghast when she looked at the state of the ribs. She came back to tell me I was getting a refund (though I hadn't requested one). So in that respect, the Miller redeemed itself. The front-of-house staff were lovely. Also they served Rebellion lager, one of my favourites. There's an art to ribs. First the sourced produce has to be prime. And you can't just stick them in the oven or pan. They need to be pre-slow-cooked over many hours to make them tender.

We were visiting Goring when it was going to be the day of our 40th wedding anniversary. We booked here, it happened to be a Sunday. The starter was over cooked and tasteless (carrot and red onion bhajis) , the roast was awful, just awful. The beef was over cooked and tough, 4 tiny roast potatoes that were over cooked on the outside, cold and tough. The veggies (what little there were of them) were cold, tired and over cooked. The gravy was a thick gloop. No Yorkshire puddings. Had to ask for mustard and horseradish, wasn’t offered anything. When asked if everything was alright we politely said no, it wasn’t! Told them how dissatisfied we were and that it was for such a special occasion. Were offered a free dessert or wine…… really! No thanks was our reply. They took the service charge off the bill and that was all. The staff really weren’t interested and the service from them from start to finish was bad…..

Central near the Thames but no view. Nice friendly pub. Did not serve food after 2pm (or around them) on a Public Holiday. Nice atmosphere and decor. Large beer garden, bit plain. Restaurant and hotel rooms

Ran out of Yorkshire puddings so said we could have extra potatoes.. just as well as when it came there were three tiny roast potatoes... asked for brandy... no brandy... calvados (as they had an apple and calvados crumble) no calvados "we don't sell that" ... on exiting saw Congac on the shelf, obviously they'd isn't kniw brandy was contacted!!! Meal was average meat had a lot of gristle around the edge...

Beware - the pub is no longer what it was. Post-COVID, the landlord unscrupulously kicked out the previous occupants after 8 years of creating what was one of the finest pubs in Oxfordshire. A terrible action that had no regard for the local community, or the years of hard work put in by the former leaseholders. Now essentially a slug and lettuce in a pretty village.

Please do not go to the Miller of Mansfield expecting the amazing food that used to be served there. It is now a VERY ordinary pub with an unimaginative pub menu. Many of their dishes were 'not available ' (on a Saturday evening) and the portions were small. My Thai red chicken curry consisted of nine small pieces of chicken swimming in an artificial tasting sauce with rice and a small pita bread. Very disappointing. The pub itself was half empty - obviously their usual customers had realised how bad it now is. The service was very slow. On the plus side the staff were charming and the place was clean. Not recommended.

Think that the Restaurant has changed ownership or management as the food is not Fine Dining as in the pictures it is just traditional pub food, which was good. The service however needs a lot of improvement, we waited a long time for just our...

My wife myself and sister-in-law called Thursday last. The staff were super friendly and gave the children an activity pack to keep them occupied while waiting. The food when it arrived was absolutely out of this world we all enjoyed it very much. Thanks a...

For our anniversary trip this year we stayed in Pangbourne and booked this restaurant in nearby Goring and Streetly - it proved to be a wise choice. Service was friendly and swift, which may have been aided by the low number of diners on New...

Absolutely amazing food within an idealistic setting. Lovely beers and wine to match, and fantastic service from everyone. A must visit.

We have wanted to try this restaurant for a while. FOOD 5 STARS The menu is well constructed with something for everyone and all very exciting dishes. We absolutely loved the plates of food we had - they clearly have an amazing Chef. The dishes...

Visited for Sunday lunch and was left with impression of be served quantity over quality. I ordered the pork belly and received two large portions of pork, when something smaller of better quality and cooking would have been preferred. The accompanying potatoes and veg were...

We came to this restaurant on recommendation to celebrate a Birthday lunch. The complimentary tasting pots and bread were delicious. The main courses were well cooked and imaginatively presented. We also indulged in the desserts. They have a comprehensive wine and beer selection. A great...

We only stopped for drinks, which we drank in the lovely beer garden at the rear. I must admit the smell of the food was fantastic, we shall dine on our next visit.

Delicious food and really good customer service. Friendly staff and dog friendly environment. We had drinks on the 1st night then back for dinner the 2nd night. The last night we couldn’t resist a G&T and the cauliflower cheese nibbles! Highly recommend and we will...

This restaurant is in a good location close to the river. The menu is limited but excellent and very flavoursome. Good external space and great service. One not to miss.

We visited the restaurant only and sat outside.the ambience was good. However we were served very small portions (of good tasting food) and we all left feeling hungry. We had both nibbles and a main. The former are priced approx £4 and Haddock Fishcakes for...

We stopped her for a drink in Goring after a long walk On the Thames and sadly we were disappointed..the service was very slow considering it was early doors on a beautiful Thursday evening with about eight customers ... with Covid in mind they take all the measures when you arrive .. however we sat in the garden done the scan on our phone and watched and waited ..the table in front had glasses left on the table not cleared or wiped down .. we waited a little more .. another couple with a baby arrived sat at the table as it still had a little sun left on it and we watched as the lady moved the glasses off and onto another table ... still no member of staff to clear the tables or even pop out to double check the area it felt very abandoned...our drinks arrived and still no one removed the glasses even tho they also brought drinks to another table ...with all this with Covid and places only just reopening I was surprised at the lack of care and attention and detail to such a lovely little place...sadly we left after one drink ...I am not one to write a negative review but think the management should be made aware I hope things improve

As we were staying at a nearby Hotel and having read about The Miller of Mansfield we booked for our Saturday evening. It was very hot that weekend so we were offered a Table outside in the Courtyard. It was very pleasant and comfortable.The Staff were very attentive, professional and friendly, led by Mary the owner ( I believe), made us feel safe and cared for.The menu is just super as is the wine list, and having made our choices you can be assured the food did not disappoint. The presentation was beautiful and the flavours and tastes of the food was intricate, delicate and just delicious.Quite simply a fantastic meal served professionally in lovely surroundings.Mary just happened to overhear us mention that it was my Wife’s Birthday and at the end of our meal presented my Wife with a Happy Birthday plate with two Macarons. A very kind and pleasing gesture.Now one of my top five restaurants in the UK.My only regret is that we don’t live nearer to enable us to visit more often. ❤️

Lovely garden setting. Friendly staff. The fish fishes we had were tasty. But avoid cheese fondue starter. Salted beef main was nice but was expecting more flavour.

Nick and Mary made us feel so welcome as we returned to stay for yet another birthday celebration - food was as ever spot on with the chilled soup and mackerel tartare being real highlights.

Lovely meal outside. Staff very careful with social distancing measures. Highly recommend for foof as well as service.

Fantastic Food and Service - we opted for a selection of starters rather than main courses but the whole selection was delicious. The courtyard out the back was a lovely setting for lunch and the staff were lovely. High recommended!

I had a lovely dinner here tonight. I had the sea scollops to start followed by a delicious Sirloin steak. Service and setting was outstanding. Could not recommend highly enough!

A very pleasant fine dining experience at lunch time, enjoying the outdoor garden. Definitely a stop recommended.

Once again amazing service and food. We’ve been to The Miller several times and each time the food gets better! Always so accommodating with creating an amazing vegan option. Beef was cooked perfectly and the fennel bread was just something else!

I’ve created this trip advisor account because I have never eaten such an awful meal. The breads to start were the highlight of the evening. Vegetarian option of risotto as a starter was okay. I couldn’t eat more than the portion because it was overly rich and heavy. Then the ‘burnt onion’ main. Nothing burnt, crispy or tasty about it. It was appalling. Basically a boiled onion with a couple of slices of charred lemon and tomato and a mini aubergine. It is with out a doubt the worst meal I’ve ever had put in from of me, and they charge 20 pounds for it! So I reiterate, do not go if you’re vegetarian because they do not know how to cook for you and obviously don’t want to try.

Weekend trip out of London. The food didn’t disappoint. The tasting menu was really great. Everything was delicious and it was all served at nice intervals to give us time to relax and enjoy the wine.

We had a delicious meal in the warm and atmospheric dining room. Both of us were delighted with our starters, unusual and delicious, and we each had the pork main dish with three different cuts of meat, each perfectly cooked and wonderfully tender. And, thankfully, the portions were of a manageable size! The wine list is not long, but fairly eclectic and reasonable value.

I'm sorry to say I agree with the 'Poor Value review'. This is a very cute place in a beautiful village but I expected more given it has AA rosettes, is in the Michelin guide, and has won Waitrose restaurant of the year. Maybe I hit a bad day (nowhere can be perfect 100% of the time) as it's clear they make an effort; the presentation of the food was good, the crockery they use is stylish and interestingand the general feel of the place is welcoming. That said; I had a Sunday lunch and found the portion rather small, and still felt hungry after my meal. Overall I found it over cooked, over spiced and overly sweet. I couldn't help feel the apple sauce was from a jar and the roast was served with barely no greens (we had to request them) and so little gravy it all just seemed dry. We requested extra gravy and unbelievably we were charged for it - that I felt was the height of meanness; had it been served with a generous amount of gravy then I would have understood being charged extra but the meal was served with little more than a drizzle.Service erratic and slow and hard to ask for cutlery numerous yes (why serve a pudding and no cutlery!)

Oh dear, not good. The portion sizes are so ridiculously small it’s just not worth it. I eat in Michelin starred restaurants to high street chain ones, and this tries to be the former but you’ll leave feeling very hungry unless spending a fortune. Why did I give it another go?

A delicious lean Sirloin Beef Sunday Roast, and a very helpful and attentive staff. Very good value indeed

Overall an amazing experience with very attentive staff and great atmosphere. A couple of personal issues such as oversalty kale and the sirloin being slightly chewy in places. If it wasn't for the price, I would give this a full 5 stars. Triple cooked chips are possibly the best I've ever had!

What a delightful find this boutique hotel/restaurant has been! So much more inviting and welcoming than the usual chain hotels I use for business. The room is comfortable and spacious. The evening meal was wonderful. The head chef here is creative, skilled and innovative. A limited menu (just as it should be) and every item a gem. I hope to return soon!

Lovely location for this C18 inn near the Thames PathReasonably priced set lunch menu. £22.50 - 3 coursesScallops were off so had the Crispy Ham Croquette - very salty and needed something pickly to offet. The shin of beef with carrot purée was nice but chips were overcooked/hard. Pineapple with pink peppercorns - lovely. All washed down with a nice bottle of merlot. Didn't like the oily almonds nibblesA touch disappointing given the reviews I've read but was told that the chef wasn't in that day. Was expecting better.

Food excellent - really superbly presented and very tasty Bedroom rather small but very tasteful and bathroom was lovely A very enjoyable stay - we will return Dame Marcia Twelftree

Took some acquaintances for a lunch that would surprise and delight them. It certainly did! Refined dining is probably how I'd describe it. Clearly a lot of attention to detail goes into the dishes - it looked spectacular and tasted just so too.

What was going to be a quick meal turned into a relaxed afternoon at the Miller with excellent and interesting food at very reasonable prices and some very good Spumante at £25 a bottle. The service was excellent, attentive but not intrusive and we were pleased when the young chef on duty came out to ask if we had enjoyed the meal and patiently answered all our questions about how to source various ingredients. The very comfortable chairs doubtless helped us enjoy our afternoon- there was no pressure from the staff for us to move -and we’ll certainly go again in the future

Mary, Nick and Carolyn were fantastic hosts for my special birthday weekend. The rooms are beautiful and individually-styled with lovely, thoughtful features like homemade biscuits and nice pod coffee. My big deep bath was an absolute treat. The food was interesting, delicious and lovingly presented, with perfectly-matching wines. I could not have felt more welcome and pampered and I would recommend the Miller without hesitation for anyone seeking a wonderful and memorable occasion.

Excellent lunch of the set menu. Very good courses. I liked the shin beef main. My partner had the Hake both very good. Service Very good. Going back again in a couple of weeks!

I’ve been looking online for a different place for a Birthday lunch, and this amazing restaurant took my attention.

First off, really warm welcome by staff, incredibly helpful in choosing wine, offering taster you are really made to feel welcome and not too overbearing wither. Lovely open fires on a cold night, perfect. I ordered fish and chips from the Bar menu after our first bottle and then ordered another bottle for the meal.....well snack should be a better description. It was like eating a heafty fish finger with a cup full of chips and a dollop of Pea Sauce. Courdon Bleu is one thing, but for £12. I expect a little more for my money.But that said, staff are lovely and the wine list has something for everybody. We went to another place and ordered dinner. One thing, they do lovely home flavoured salt and vinegar peanuts that you pay £1.50 for the pleasure of a small Ramekin. If someone is spending £70 on wine and a snack these should be complimentary.

Front of house is a local pub on the high street - so depending when you arrive, you may be better going to your table for drinks. The lime soda for our driver was just sublime - home made cordial!

Popped in for Sunday lunch and a polite member of the bar staff advised that they were fully booked but would check. A very miserable and unfriendly supervisor/ manager appeared who confirmed that the restaurant was full but not even the slightest hint of him offering any form of welcoming comment.

We came to celebrate my partner getting a new job. A nice welcome and shown to our table early evening however after 15 minutes we still had no menus or even an offer of drinks, we had to get up from the table to ask for menus, no apologies given ....but promptly rectified plus wine list. Another wait to order but very friendly staff to take orders.

Ordering fish and chips is a risky business. You can often and easily be disappointed by flaccid batter, greasy fish, portions that leave you feeling sick or having to leave a lot of it behind. But the fish and chips at the bar here is fantastic!

First visit here today. Overall food was nice. Salmon tartare very nice but didn’t get the chicken liver parfait. Very sweet . The roast beef very nice as was the belly pork but portions could have been a bit larger. After part of our table was cleared we were given the desert menu. We then sat there for over 20 minutes while staff passed us numerous times. We had finished our drinks and would have liked pudding but no one seem to be bothered. In the end we asked someone for the bill which arrived in seconds. £200 for Sunday roast for 5 of us. The concept is good as is the food on the whole however the front of house in this occasion really let the place down. Even when we left nobody bothered to say thanks or goodbye or more importantly how was our meal.

We had a very good meal in this "gastro-pub". Pleasant and friendly staff and a good menu. I have to say that the Chicken Liver parfait (new on the menu) was oversweet and with too much sweet chutney and no kind of toast to help counter the richness or sweetness of this dish. The texture was perfect. A sour dough bread roll came at the beginning of the meal, it was excellent. Our other courses were good, especially the Manjari Chocolate custard which was divine. All in all well worth a visit. I just think it's worth mentioning to the maitre d' that correcting his customers on their pronunciation of Ratte Potatoes is not perhaps the wisest move especially as there is debate on this pronunciation - no accent on the e so do we pronounce the final e as if there is - I think not. However, correcting customers on their French pronunciation is, in my view, poor form.

The team made arranging ‘just a quiet lunch with close family’ very special and enjoyable, from my first phone call through to the farewell, warm, human and thoughtful throughout, with ideal food, of great quality and presentation.

What a special place! We were not very hungry so we only had a couple of appetizers and each of us had a dessert. Our server brought us an amuse bouche to start with, of chilled pea mousse, topped with a tiny won-ton with three drops of duck confit. Yummy! I was so impressed with this starter that I cannot recall my appetizer, but I do recall the wonderful chocolate custard (mousse) topped with an orange, salted caramel & sesame tuile, along with a tiny glass of Port. It was so delicious that I went back a second night just for dessert! Milo, one of the bartenders, was a delight and very helpful.

I booked the Miller for a relatively large group (of 20) for Sunday lunch. I told them in advance that we were arriving on a river cruise and so only had limited time. The food started arriving within 5 mins of us sitting down (we pre-ordered). It was all of excellent quality, with superior touches such as amuse bouches. The service was attentive and unobtrusive. On all counts it exceeded our expectations. I'd have no hesitation in recommending the Miller.

We had dinner from the a la carte menu. A good choice was available and all was cooked perfectly and with excellent presentation. The wine list was extensive and gave several relatively good value options. The restaurant area is relatively small so the tables are fairly close together. The service was good and there were always staff to attend, even if a little inexperienced. Overall we had an excellent dining experience and would highly recommend on food quality and value.

I had high hopes for our dinner here knowing that it was a Michelin recommended restaurant and I wasn’t disappointed! It was a superb meal from start to finish and instead of just having my usual two courses, I just had to extend the dining experience by having a dessert too. My starter was Poached Pheasant Egg,Salmon Tartare,Brown Butter and Sourdough Crumpet, a main of Poached Cornish Plaice, Tomato,Spring Onion and Dill Pickles and Chicken Butter Sauce with a grande finale dessert of Cherry Soup, Creme Fraiche, Pannna Cotta and Pistachio.
