The Honest Miller in Ashford

Lovely coffee and cakes! Super cosy and friendly!

We had a lovely afternoon tea ☕ there they are trying really hard to get the place back to its former glory you must remember these things take time and money. It's a steady start to what will be a magical place again soon. Well done and keep up the hard work it will pay off. X X X

Dinner was a lovely carvery just like mumma ysed to make but the toilets are terrible the whole place needs a refurb was very dissappointed with the place wont be rushing back

It is many years since I had visited this pub. We went early on Saturday night, looking for a meal. The pub was quiet and the car park empty, so no problem getting in. A good welcome and very good service from the landlord. We had a first class meal for a reasonable price. We will be returning much sooner this time.

We have tried many places for a Sunday lunch and finally found a very good one. Choice of meat or have a slice of more than one. Lovely Yorkshire and the gravy was delicious (so many places are quite watery). I had beef which was beautifully rare but they had less rare if you wanted this. No rushing you out of the door either and a choice of typical old style desserts (sponge puddings with custard). Just like a Sunday lunch at home without the cooking and washing up.

Summary - My honest opinion was that it was a lovely picturesque place but expensive for what we got (possible time of year peak Aug). Clean, friendly but not more comfortable than normal camping but definitely more convenient. Food excellent!Review - We’d not been glamping before but have camped loads in the UK and abroad with our own equipment. We liked the idea of not worrying about putting up a tent or making beds particularly as it had been raining a lot recently. We stayed 1 night then moved on to an eco pod elsewhere. The tent was spacious and looked cosy and nice decor. They provided towels which was amazing. They also provided some pots, cups and utensils which we didn’t use as we had our own. The hosts were very welcoming as well. The tent smelt damp / musty unfortunately and the beds were uncomfortable. My children are teenagers and the single set up was small even for my 12 year old. The bedding was lovely on the big bed and the duvet and pillows nice but the mattress was on pallets and wasn't comfortable. I didn’t sleep at all well and had some pain the next day in my lower back. An air bed may have been more comfortable. The shower and toilet were nice and clean but amusingly inside a shed with astro turf, it worked well if a little quirky. Potentially fulfilling up to 12 people if the other tents were full. We didn’t get to use the fire pit or deck chairs as unfortunately it rained but the communal area looked really nice. It’s a shame we were unable to experience this as this would have been lovely to use. The grass was very long in places (paths created) but at night it wasn’t possible to see the path especially in the rain to use the toilet and ended up stumbling through it. It would have been nice to have had power in the tents (electric hook up offered?) and be able to get the car closer to unload. We loved the setting in the countryside. We had a cuppa at 7am and it was lovely having it outside. Breakfast was very nice but put on quite late (earliest 9.30) and we’d got hungry. Checkout was 11. Lots of choice of items for breakfast though, hot and very tasty but only 1 cup of coffee or tea offered. A pot may have been nice. On the whole we enjoyed ourselves here. Staff recommended places to visit as well and a different route due to road closures very helpful.

Visited for breakfast yesterday following a meeting at a local farm. We were made welcome as soon as we arrived and were delighted with the wonderful cooked “all you can eat” breakfast. Pleasantly surprised at the top quality ingredients used - good sausages and bacon, excellent eggs. Nothing was too much trouble - will definitely be returning very soon.

We ate here last night very welcoming good homemade food. A but off the beaten track but well worth a visit

We have been eating in the Honest Miller for many years and myself and our French family had Sunday lunch last Sunday. Food was delicious and excellent value.Lou and the family are really making a great effort to create a friendly, good value, village pub. Many thanks and well done .

Spent a lovely day glamping at the Honest Miller as a stopover on our way to Dover. We stayed in their new glamping bell tents at the back of the pub, really spacious, comfortable beds, and very stylishly decorated. We had planned to do one of the many local scenic walks but the weather was so good and the place was so peaceful and scenic we just stayed on site while our child played in the safe kids play area. We had dinner at the pub which was excellent, lovely atmosphere and a great pint of Guinness. Hosts were really friendly and welcoming, and to top it off we had possibly the biggest breakfast before we departed. We plan to go back to do some of the walks in the area, highly recommended

When here with my wife for the £30 steak meal with wine. We were not disappointed with the sirloin being nicely cooked and full of flavour. Good deal. Service pleasant but they need to fix the coffee machine! So many places have broken coffee machines and a good coffee rounds the evening off. Otherwise give it a go.

I booked this pub due to location and also when I phoned up the owner seemed really friendly and accommodating. The pub itself is undergoing some refurbishments but that didn’t put us off.The menu was short and sweet but everything on it was freshly cooked! There were also some gluten free options for myself.We were very happy with our meals, they were cooked to perfection and very tasty! The portions were huge and reasonably priced too! There was a lovely little high chair also for the baby. This is a great friendly family pub. With a lovely outdoor area also.The only downside was no baby changing area but I presume this is something that will be done in the future upon the refurbishment.

Really great value lunch and lovely garden with a play area for the kids. The burgers were excellent and a good selection of ales too. Really friendly owners too 👍

On our walk through the Wye National Nature Reserve on a hot Saturday afternoon, a random guy we got speaking to on the walk recommended that we stop on route at the Honest Miller for a well earned break. Thankfully we took his advice and had a lovely lunch out in the beer garden, where there is also a little play area for the kids. Great food at reasonable prices! The pub is also dog friendly so we could bring our puppy in and the staff are so welcoming! Thanks to Lewis for looking after us!

Lovely food. Stopped off for a midweek lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. Clean and bright. Lovely garden.

Now serving breakfast which I can say are absolutely lovely! The garden is lovely kept really tidy, inside is light and clean. I haven’t yet tried one but the Sunday roasts look amazing and only hear good things.

We had a fabulous evening at the Honest Miller celebrating Millie's 18th birthday. The company was great, but the staff at the establishment made it a great event. Food was tasty and served to the group without issue. All hot and beautifully presented.

Have had two really good group meals this week at this pub - the vegetarian wellington and cheese & tomato tart are delicious! - good atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff!

We visited here for a pre Christmas family Sunday lunch get together. The pub is in the middle of the beautiful village of Brook and has recently had a change of management. The decor is really nice and contemporary mixed with shabby chic to create a relaxing ambience. There was a good choice of fraught beers and wines and spirits all very reasonably priced. The Sunday lunch menu offers 4 choices of starters, a choice of 3 meats for main and 4 desserts. The price was £9 for 1 course, £12 for 2 & £14 for 3. The meat choices were chicken, pork or beef. Some of us had the prawn cocktail starter which was nice but nothing amazing. Others had the creamy garlic mushrooms which were lovely and served in individual skillets. The main roast course was absolutely wonderful. The pork was a whole piece of belly pork with crackling and was beautifully tender. The beef was lovely and tender and still pink in the middle and I’m sure there was almost a whole chicken on the plate! It was accompanied by roast potatoes, parsnip and carrot and the BIGGEST homemade Yorkshire pudding I have ever seen on a roast dinner!!! It also came with a separate side of vegetables to share between 2. It was served nice and hot and with an extra pot of gravy. It was all delicious! The service was good and we struggled to finish our plates. We did not have dessert as we were so full after our main course!! This pub offers superb value for money in a lovely setting and I will certainly be going again.

The staff are great very helpful and accommodating-

We ate here a while back and weren’t impressed but heard that it’d been recently taken over and we weren’t disappointed. The atmosphere was great, the food lovely and the new owners and their two gorgeous girls were so friendly. Two of our party had the T-bone steaks which were cooked to perfection and accompanied by home cut chips while I had the mussels which came with the most gorgeous home made matchstick fries ......all yummy and not overpriced either. Will definitely be back as I want to try the liver nest time.

A group of us, 6 adults and 6 children attended the fireworks evening. New owners were so welcoming and we all had a fantastic evening. Very family friendly would definitely recommend

New landlords taken over and this place deserves to do well. Great selection of drinks. Top quality fresh food with Craig able to spin up some garlic bread without it being on the menu.

I knew this pub had been taken over by new management and thought we would go and see what it is like.

Myself and my family and friends went to the Halloween party. We've never been before so was unsure what to expect. We were greeted by a beautiful little country pub with brilliant Halloween decorations, disco, bouncy castle, Buffett, candy floss face painting etc. It's was absolutely brilliant. We had so much fun and the kids really enjoyed themselves. Everyone was very friendly and the bar staff happy and cheerful. The event was free which was really lovely thing for them to do. We will most definitely be revisiting again and not just for the events. Well done The Honest Miller you should be very proud.

What an amazing village pub threw an amazing Halloween party loads of things for the kids all for free 5* customer service can’t wait to go again.

Popped in for late morning coffee whilst on a dog walk. friendly welcome and special offer food prices seem really good. Will plan a visit for food next time.

Visited today and I can honestly say it’s the best Sunday roast that I have had in a pub for a very long time. Everything home cooked, we were piggies and had three courses, all amazing and excellent value at £15. Looks like they have some good offers on in the week too. We will be back! Only thing I would say is set your Facebook page to a business one so people can easily find your phone number and opening times (sorry if I missed it).

This is our second time back in two weeks, the first time we had not booked a table and they were fully booked which was my own fault. I had seen the management had changed so wanted to give them another go, after all a full pub is usually a good sign right.

So it’s been 20 years since I have been to this pub but tonight I revisited. The new hosts Chantelle and Craig were sensational hosts! The food was incredible and they made us feel at home. They have a young waitress working there too who also recommended I have the Miller chicken(glad I listened to her). If you are driving through or anywhere near stop in for a beer or a bite and help keep this amazing little country pub going and open.

New hosts Chantelle & Craig, made us feel very welcome and provided an amazing service. We ate early evening and choose Whitebait to start, which was a generous and well presented dish. The highlight for us was the Thurday night special, which consisted of two 5oz steaks for £10, which were of great quality, from Brogdale butchers and cooked to perfection.

We visited a few times and recommended friend to go there too we liked the food etc, popped in for a roast and it wasn't great very basic and tasteless.

We visited this pub by chance when in the area house hunting.

Visited with the wife on a sunday afternoon and was not dissapointed!! Its very hard to find a decent sunday roast but this was the rare occasion i have found myself 100% satified. Finally a place that makes real gravy and the potatoes were crispy yet still soft and a proper yorkshire pudding!!! Stayed and enjoyed a few beers after and met the owners who made us feel so welcome!! Well done and please never change the food!!!!!! Will always use this establishment when in the area.

I booked us a table for a classic Sunday beef roast

Booked a table for 2 for Sunday Roast.

Would just like to thank the new owners for there hospitality and for our Sunday lunch,service was good although the young girl did say she was new.

We had a wonderful lunch here on our way through the area. A lovely little pub with gorgeous decor. The kitchen had closed but the owner was so lovely and cooked us some lunch. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Delicious food! Would highly recommend.

Enjoyed a lovely steak meal. Everything was really hot (in temperature) and tasty. Little atmosphere as so few people there. Maybe the hot weather was keeping people in their own gardens. Food was good and if I lived locally I'd go again.

Carvery off at the moment but still delivered a tasty Sunday lunch. I had beef and turkey, roast potatoes, carrots, French beans, delicious cauliflower cheese and a large Yorkshire pudding for a reasonable price if £9.95.

Have visited here once or twice in the past and found it ‘OK’ Tried to book over the last week, emailed twice no response and telephone just says answerphone is full so could not even leave a message???? Are they still trading???

Popped in here Friday lunch for the fish and chips and so pleased we did. The fish was hot and the batter was lovely. Chips hot and a generous portion of peas. The lady behind the bar was welcoming and despite the busy period we was served within a good time frame. Can't complain other than perhaps a lack of drinks to chose from and the fridges looking empty but perhaps they had simply been busy. Would personally recommend and will visit again for the fish. Congratulations to the barmaid and the chef you're a credit to the pub.

We have been eating at the Honest Miller for many years and generally have been very happy. We have noticed the standard of food and service has recently taken a dramatic down turn. Frozen fish not fresh, a cook doing the meals rather than chef!!!!; and not enough staff. The young girls were trying there best but they were completely over whelmed with disgruntled customers. Sorry; but avoid.

We went here for a Steak meal and bottle wine on Groupn voucher. I chose this offer because of the good reviews and the publicity in local press and that it was run by Gareth Cox. Well known chef!!

Two of us visited here last night, for their 'steak and a bottle of wine for two' offer.

Has a wonderful meal back in February,the menu was different and original,today i completely different style of food.

It’s been many years since we last visited the Honest Miller so when we saw a deal on a website we thought we would give it a go. Our table was for 7pm and on entry to the pub we were met by the “locals” sitting at the bar, this was not a problem. We were promptly seated in the restaurant by a friendly waitress. Surprisingly we were the only people in the restaurant. Our order was taken and and our bottle of red wine soon appeared at the table. Worryingly I noticed a fella coming into the restaurant numerous time setting up equipment for a musical performance. Our meals arrived, nicely presented and well cooked and then we was presented with a book from the fella detailing all the songs that he could sing by request. Seriously in the restaurant part, why not in the pub side? So much for a nice date night. We ate the meals, settled up the bill and left with our half drunk bottle of wine. What looked like a promising date night was spoilt. Would we return? Not sure.

We went to try a Taster Menu with a Groupon. I have eaten here many time before and the food is usually ok and always fresh but sometimes the atmosphere can be a bit dour.

I don't like giving negative reviews but in this case I just have to. I went on a Groupon tasting menu deal which, if it's to be believed would have normally cost £76.

It’s a funny place not very welcoming even though we have been several times. Decided not to stay and eat.

Nice atmosphere , nice food but as often it's a little spoilt by waitresses with 0 personalities and then a £35 service charge on the bill , this is a pub and not a London restaurant and the beer is London prices to , I can see why it's so quiet and lots of you use groupon, it's needs to be half price

Really lovely food but the menu was different to online which was slightly disappointing, other than that it was really lovely food and we will be back.

We have just returned from an amazing lunch at the Honest Miller & we're both happily stuffed!! We had the 4 course taster menu through Groupon. Firstly we had salt & pepper squid to share, just a little taste bite, then the pate & chutney followed by the beef with mash & vegetables & lastly the cheesecake. Could not fault any of it, superb! All served to us by the lovely Marie who was so friendly & welcoming. It was our first visit but we'll definitely be back!!

First time to eat at the Honest Miller . We all enjoyed our two course Carvery . The three choices of meat was cooked beautifully and hot . Fresh vegetables and home made Yorkshire pud. The pub was really busy and I can understand why you have to book well in advance . 5 stars to Gareth cox we will be back .

Having booked our table over three weeks ago, I was surprised to see the staff start laying a table for me in the bar area under the television rather than the dining area. Having requested not to be under the tv we were moved to a table at the side although still with the tv blaring in the background. The food,no better than I could have cooked in doors. Had heard good things but will not be going back. They also need to look at the selection of menus on their website as what they advertise is very different from the reality .

Short lived visit for a mid week meal tonight.... We booked up for a meal tonight expecting to use our taste card, when we arrived the new bar staff checked with the chef, he declined as they were working at a loss and apparently had previously pulled out from taste card, however we showed them that the offer was still live on the site and Gareth the chef passed on the message via the bar lady that we couldn’t use it. We reconfirmed that the offer is still showing as a live deal yet via a message again he declined and would not honour the offer. The bar lady was very pleasant however Gareth then disappeared upstairs obviously not in the mood to take our business. We gave him one last chance to rectify the situation, and was asked to wait while he returned as she was not allowed to go upstairs. We’d already ordered a bottle of wine and an Ale on a running tab so we decided to leave without staying for our drinks as the chef was not even prepared to show his face to explain the situation and leave the lady behind the bar on her first shift to deal with it.

Just had lunch today ( Friday 23rd Feb ) using our Groupon Voucher. We had the 4 course tasting menu. This is our second visit to the Honest Miller and again the food and service were excellent. There was plenty to eat, the food was served hot and just the right amount of time between courses, all washed down with a bottle of Pino!

Took my partner here on a recommendation of some friends and was very impressed. A warm welcome from the lady behind the bar and a good choice of drinks. The food was hot and served within a good time. A good portion so value for money as well. Had a chat with the chef/owner (Gareth) and found him to be polite and passionate about what he does. The waitress was attentive throughout and is a credit to the pub. Would definitely be back again (possibly for the mussels or the curry club. And have booked this Sunday for the carvery due to a good selection of meats I was informed they have. All in all a very happy customer.

The Honest Miller has been a regular of our family for a number of years, and usually we are happy with our meals. Todays was less than satisfactory. Not up to Greigs usual standard at all.

The manager, Gareth is the rudest human i have met, he was having a bit of stress with his colleagues in the kitchen, which you can see perfectly into whilst sitting at the bar, while he was dealing with this stress he had not visited the bar in about 20 minutes, i was waiting at the bar for 20 minutes with the queue for the drinks growing further and further every second, he came out in the end in a very stubborn manour, i told him how long i had been waiting there and he asked what drink i wanted, no apology or anything. Do not go to this pub just go to The Blacksmiths Arms down the road.

We visited Honest Miller with friends as they had been given a gift voucher for the four course tasting menu. This menu included a bottle of wine - the food was delicious and each course was full size which we weren't expecting, so there was more than enough food to satisfy even the largest of appetites. The first course was pigs in blankets, which seemed very strange and we laughed that they must have overbought for the Christmas menu, but they were served with a bowl of apple sauce and were very tasty. We then had soup or pate, belly of pork or sea bass, followed by a choice of deserts. All the food was served piping hot, which impressed me as all too often restaurants serve their food luke warm. The service was very quick and attentive. Should like to return when we are next in the area.

Saturday lunch ,, special after Xmas so had the taster menu (which is made up from the normal menu) the food was all delicious, which was welcome change as we are good home cooks and often disappointed.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone at the Honest Miller for making our works Christmas party superb.

17 of us ate here for our annual Pre-Christmas dinner and it turned out to be a great choice of venue. The decisions on who ate what had already been made in advance, and the menu gave us a very good selection from the more traditional Christmas fayre to other choices such as sea bream and vegetarian pie; a similar varied range of choices were also available across both starters and desserts.

Had our Family Christmas meal here last night and it was excellent. Food delicious, nicely presented and lovely and hot. Gabi went out of her way to help with menu and table selection. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. We will be back again soon!

Roast beef was like leather and inedible. Vegetables were under cooked and cold. Yorkshire pudding was like concrete and inedible. Roast potatoes were excellent! Mentioned to waitress however chef took no action - I would have appreciated an apology!

My partner took me for dinner on Saturday night, he booked through open table and when we arrived they didn’t have our booking, they said that they had cancelled open table but it still takes bookings. So if you book definitely call. It was fine they had room for us. The menu wasn’t as extensive as I had seen online. We shared a goats cheese flatbread for starter which was large and tasted nice. My partner ordered pork fillet and I ordered duck. My main arrived and the sauce and purée was cold and missing the confit duck leg which was stated on the menu. We had a young waitress who although was polite we didn’t see a smile from once and said she’d tell the chef (we got no apology or feedback) She said they had given me a larger duck breast (it wasn’t large) as they had run out of the leg. No one mentioned this when I ordered. They took it away and reheated it and it came back quickly, plate was now hot so had obviously been nuked. It was ok but was very bland. My partners was also fine but nothing special. For £17 per main I expect more! It was really bland as was my partners, the food looked nice but style over substance. We shared a dessert which again was nice enough. Probably won’t go back but I reckon things like burgers and fish and chips looked good. Might need to stick to pub food not gastro pub. Shame as we had found the pub on Instagram via the lanelife and were excited to try it.

Visited in November in a group of 9 (2 children), the carvery was excellent, roast potatoes were some of the best I've eaten at a restaurant and the meat was delicious. Very good value for £11 per person and free for children 4 & under. The pub itself is very nice and welcoming with good beers and friendly staff. We had a young baby with us and the lady behind the bar was very helpful and checked that we were happy and comfortable. Will definitely be returning for the carvery.

First time visit, booked in advance for Sunday Lunch. Read some reviews which are mostly good. Pub wasn't overly busy, but after waiting 5 minutes at the bar I had to grab someones attention. Was told to sit at a table and wait. We did just that - and waited and waited and waited - over 10 mins later we were asked if we were ok. Mmmm - ok, asked what the format was, was told and offered drinks. One drink came out wrong. Remember it wasn't exactly busy. Went to the Carvery - food was great - no problems at all. Basically we'd possibly go back again, but not for the service, only the food.

6 people attended this establishment last night to be greeted by a v young lady in charge of front of house with v little idea of English let alone customer service. We were ignored in favour of the males at the end of the bar then when a pump mixer was added to our to drinks when asked to exchanged she was rude and aggressive. The table that we were offered was in the bar area just by the main entrance door in the cold and had not been prepared. On asking to sit round the corner in the nearly empty restaurant with prepared tables again this was met with hostility. The food was acceptable however they overcharged us on the bill and the drinks were priceless I would expect to pay in a top London hotel . Poor customer service, bad management. Inflated drink prices give it a miss

Went to the Honest Miller with family for a late Sunday lunch while visiting from Oz. Its is a lovely drive through the country side to get to the pub. Draw card to this place was that we could get a wheel chair in. Not overly busy but it did take a while for us to get onion rings and garlicpita bread. 3 of us ordered the hamburger and one pie plus thr kids cheeseburger and chips. The hamburgers were nicely presented but fell short on flavour. The meat patties were too thick and coleslaw had no flavour. As for the kids meal, it was far too big with too many chips and no option for vegetables. The pie I was told was good and this was also well presented. For dessert, the rice pudding and mulled fruit was very nice while the french apple flan was ok.Overall, a nice enough pub to go to.

2nd Visit and the food was delicious and amazing value.Our party had the blackpudding sausage roll and everyone said it was really tasty.I was holding out for a desert instead but the presentation was lovely.My friend chose the Tandori Coley and said the flavours were great and she would order the dish again.My husband had the beef shin and he was not dissapointed.The sauce was a homemade classical reduced gravy and he said he was far better than some more expensive restaurants we have visited and the nicest meal he has had in Kent for sometime.I had the fish and chips along with another friend and the batter was lovely and light and crispy.It wasn't greasy at all and had a generous amount of homemade tartar sauce.Not sure what they had done to the peas but they were absolutely delicious.All our plates were completely empty.I always get dissapointed with deserts when they are not homemade but the warm lemon meringue tart served here definately was homemade and amazing.Finished with a lovely strong coffee,just a perfect lunch.The young lady serving was quick and efficient and we didn't wait for anything.Will definately be back.

This was my fifth or sixth visit to the Honest Miller. I was disappointed at first with the menu that was given to us. The delicious regular menu item of a home made scotch egg had vanished along with what seemed like half of the last menu I saw there. Me and my partner ordered the prawn and chorizo starter. This took longer than expected to arrive to us considering there wasn’t more than 2 people eating as well. The prawns arrived, they were not cleaned properly, I had prawns with their intestinal tract still intact and one prawn with shell still on. The prawns themselves were over cooked and the sauce it was served in was watery. For a £9 dish. Not acceptable. For main course we ordered the £23 fillet steak and the best thing on the plate was the caramelised full onion. My fillet had gristle! The textures on the dish were just sloppy there was nothing which gave a crunch. Wilted spinach, soft onion soft layered potato, a sauce and some form of purée. Considering the prices of the dishes there is no way they were worth it. I attended the restaurant using a taste card which offered a 50% percent discount off the food bill and thank god I did. If I didn’t have the taste card I would have walked out. There is no way those meals were worth what is being charged. The menu seems to change every time I’m there. The service isn’t always great but it was always the food that encouraged me to return, however that is now out of the question.

With a lot of pub restaurants to compete against the Honest does not have a wow factor. The menu is really good and service was all right but nothing to tempt me back in a hurry.

Haven't been here for some years. This pub restaurant is now run by a delightful young couple, Husband is the chef and his Wife runs the bar and waiting at table. Good traditional menu and a good selection of specials for the day. Children catered for as well. We also had our very well behaved dog with us, but best to ask permission first. High chair was set up at our table for our granddaughter. Food was artistically presented with ample portions. There also appeared to be an excellent wine list which we will sample next time. Well recommended.

We had the steak and chips and couldn’t fault it. A wonderful piece of sirloin and great chips with a large mushroom, a tomato and a pile of rocket. All the cooked food was piping hot. The staff were friendly and we chatted with two locals who had just finished a lovely cod and chips for two at £12.We must now try the Sunday dinner.....or the pie night....or the fish!!!!!

We used a Groupon voucher & had the 4 course tasting menu. WOW great value for money ,superb food, all 4 courses were excelent, good quality food , great portion sizes , we will definately be going back .We are keen to try the Sunday Carvery.

My daughter and son-in-law booked this restaurant for Sunday lunch. The food was excellent. A wide variety of meat and well cooked vegetables. But I can unfortunately only give an average mark for the whole experience. My son-in- law made the booking and advised them that two pensioners were in the party of five.(it's four pounds less for pensioners.) we were charged full price and noticed only after paying the bill. The waitress said they did not like to ask if people were pensioners because they did not wish to offend.we took that as a compliment as my wife and I are both 77!She put our card in the machine again and said she was issuing a credit note. The ticket showed debit again but the waitress assured us it would be a credit note.the next day my wife checked with the bank and found that we had been charged a further another nine pounds! We had to make a round trip of twelve miles to get the nine pounds back. Pity but will not eat there again.

Excellent service, food to die for, prices very reasonable the pub itself, nice inside, friendly and welcoming. Will go back and would recommend it.

This was our first visit as we had heard good things about it. Tuesday night happened to be Pie and Pint for £12 night so I opted for the pie of the day which was chicken, ham & leek. washed down withe a Sharps Atlantic. The pie was superb as was the mash & veg. I'm not a fan of carrots & parsnips but these were lovely, and the mash was well seasoned and smooth. My partner had a smokey joe burger, which was huge, along with really good chips. If I had ordered it my only gripe would be it was served on a lump of wood. Plates please! Desserts were also top notch, and the whole bill, including drinks and 25% off with our Taste Card was less than £30. Overall a great pub and well worth a second visit. I notice that Thursdays are Steak nights.....

Undecided due to the fact that, cannot fault the food or the staff , both superb... however there are other localish eating houses just as good, some maybe better at much better prices. Would probably not go out of my way to return.

Excellent food and service again. All the food was superb tasting and plentiful. A good atmosphere to enjoy quality food. Third time visit and we are looking forward to the next.

Great to see some vegan options. I have previously had a vegan roast dinner here which was lovely but more recently I noticed they do a vegan pizza with vegan mozzarella. Really nice meal. Worth a visit.

We went here on a Saturday evening, and after having a drink at the bar went straight for the mains, these being two steak and kidney pies, one swordfish steak and mine was the local seafood with spinach pastaThis consisted of a few mussels and squid rings with spaghetti in a tomato sauce, with not a prawn or clam in sight let alone a spinach leafThe cost of seven drinks and four mains and a side of fries was £93.85, overpriced for average food

Went with a walking group, we ordered our food prior to our walk. Really good value for money and well presented. Staff friendly. Lovely garden. Will definately go back again.

Excellent food and friendly service, wonderful decor. Will be eating there again soon. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We enjoyed two meals on a Friday evening. The restaurant wasn't overly busy but there was enough atmosphere. Scotch egg and pork ribs were especially good. Couple of niggles, paper thin tiny napkins and the cutlery wasn't replaced when the starters were cleared, No salt and pepper on the tables.Would we visit again? Yes for sure.

Second visit to the Honest Miller and enjoyed it both times. I had pie of the day which was chicken and delicious. 10 year old and 25 year old children had pizzas which were on a deal and a side order of chips. I tried both pizzas and the chips in the name of research and they were also very tasty.Very good value and good, friendly service.

Lovely pub for a quiet lunch sitting in the beer garden on a warm British summer afternoon, doesn't get much better than this. Welcoming friendly staff and GOOD honest food.

The staff are lovely so helpful and obliging - it was a fairly quiet time so we had drinks brought to our table which was good - we enjoyed a mix of starters, mains and puds all of which was very good - quality ingredients,well cooked and beautifully presented. Would return and certainly recommend :)

We went yesterday for an evening meal and the food was wonderful. Being a vegetarian it was good to see a good selection of different choices on offer. I had the spaghetti with mushrooms, spinach and pine nuts. It was very tasty. My partner had the Romney Marsh Lamb which he said was very good. We enjoyed our meal so much we went back today for the carvery which was extremely tasty and a large choice of perfectly cooked veg. They use locally sourced food and drink which I feel is really important to support local businesses. Also they even do vegan pizza which was very refreshing to see as many places do not cater for vegans. We will definitely be going back. The price of the dishes on the menu was excellent value for money. Oh and not forgetting the lemon meringue sundae it was to nice.

First visit last night, not very busy. The king prawns were superb so was my Lamb and the Lemon Sundae. My partner enjoyed her Brie and Vegetarian spaghetti. We will return soon.

This country pub in a lovely village was a disappointment. Tried to book a table for 7:30 and was told they could manage 7:45 so arrived expecting it to be heaving, but no, only one other couple dining which was a bit weird. We were told that a couple of selections on the daily specials menu were unavailable, however, when I ordered the 'Beef Wellington ' which was a highlighted special was told "oh sorry that's off too". I had the deep fried Camembert to start. Two golden crispy wedges of cheese came well presented but when I got to the thick end of the wedge it was still frozen so sent it back. The steaks we ordered for mains were delicious but the chips although well cooked were mainly inedible because they had been over salted. My wife had king prawns with her steak that were tasty and well cooked in their shells. But the finger bowl needed wasn't offered.I have a thing about napkins, I don't expect them to be linen but the thin postage stamp size examples used here looked like pound shop rejects.On paying the bill, noticed the Camembert was included, I mentioned it was sent back because it was still frozen. It was removed but without one word of apology.Sorry but we won't be back.

We booked in advance were told to sit and she would be over to take a drinks order shortly. After 20 minutes i complained and our drinks order was then taken. She said she was on her own and was busy. Our Red wine was served on ice, in a bucket! Water served in pint glasses! Menus asked for but we had to help ourselves to the specials menu from the bar. 45 minute wait for food but the spaghetti was very overcooked, had been cut into 1.5 inch pieces and was tasteless. Two of us had this and neither of us ate it. A third girl had dauphinoise which were nothing like the real thing although her lamb was good. We sat looking at finished plates for a further half an hour and then cleared our own table! We explained about the spaghetti and potatoes asked that the chef be told. We didnt have pudding we couldn't spare the time. Coffee arrived without saucers! I asked if she was new, she said shed been there a month and had a new baby. With only 2 tables booked she hadnt thought shed need help and hadnt expected other tables to come in off the street. She was obviously totally overwhelmed, had no training and was absolutely clueless as to how to be a waitress. Chef said he hadnt cut the spaghetti but had used metal tongs to turn it and it had just broken up, no apology for it being overcooked and apparently the potatoes came like that so that was that! The bill of £82 odd was the only thing to arrive promptly which we paid and left never to return. It was like a comedy sketch although the joke was on us!

Visited today for the first time, greeted by a very cheerful girl behind the bar, we were shown to our table, and left to browse the menu, so many yummy sounding dishes to choose from, food came out piping hot and presented well, tasted absolutely delicious, will recommend to family and friends, and hopefully return again soon

We came here on a second visit today because the Five Bells was rammed and we didnt want to wait ages for food. We'd been here once before and had a pretty good meal. This time when we pulled up outside it was empty with just a few customers outside (this was a warning sign really) we went inside as it was too hot to sit outside and the pub was empty. We saw there was a carvery so decided to have this as we were hungry. When we went up the potatoes were not roasted enough barely had any texture or colour to them, the yourshire puddings were overcooked to the point when I actually attempted to eat mine it just turned into powder and disintergrated as it was so overcooked. The vegetables were nice and Turkey was ok, a bit tough. I basically left most of mine which to me is unheard as I love food. The chef was stood at the bar taling to a regular and I was tempted to say something to him but felt there may have been a confrontation which i didnt feel like. This chef should be ashamed of himself putting out food like this and any good cook would know the potatoes were not cooked properly, they'd burnt the yorkshire puddings and should have re-made them and not to have overcooked the meat. He really needs to go back to culinary school because his food was extremely poor. I can now see why this pub was empty on a Sunday afternoon because this chef is running the pub into the ground putting out a carvey this badly cooked. I will never return to this pub based on this experience and cannot imagine it lasting for much longer unless they get rid of this chef and get someone with passion for food instead. I would not reccomend this pub's carvery. My first visit was good, we had pie which was very nice, so if youre here, avoid the carvey at all costs unless you dont like potaotes, yorkshire puddings or on the tough side meat.

Fab evening food is amazing!!! This is a real little gem, defiantly worth a visit. Would recommend the scotch egg and beef shin. Girls very friendly.

Have not been to this venue for many years,but article in our local paper about Chef 'Gareth Cox' ,along with all the different dining experiences he arranges on various days at special prices for two people,made us sit up and take notice.Thought we'd go along for the Friday Fish n Chips at £12 for two of us.But on seeing his variety on menu soon changed our minds .Both chose a starter from great menu followed by main,which were both cooked to perfection and really delicious. Service was friendly, and staff made us Welcome. Should imagine it would be a lovely location to eat outside on a nice summers day.Have a fete coming up next month,also do Sunday roasts,but advise to book for that one.Would definitely come again and recommend a visit .

First visit to this excellent restaurant. The menu covers most tastes and the price range is very good. The service was excellent and the food was very good. Overall this is an excellent village pub restaurant. It is well worth a visit if you are in the area.

We found The Honest Miller on the taste card app and decided to give it a try as we were out visiting a farm for my son's birthday. We were welcomed by a very friendly waitress/barmaid who was not only helpful but extremely pleasant too. My son had fish fingers and chips which were very tasty and cooked fresh. My partner and I shared the scotch egg starter and the garlic prawn with alioli starter. They were both really tasty especially the prawns and sauce used. We even kept the sauce to use to dip or chips in from the mains. I had burger and chips and my partner had shortened ribs and chips. Both meals were spot on and very well priced too. Very enjoyable meal for all 3 of us.
