The Millers Arms Restaurant in Canterbury - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Canterbury, a warm fairytale town I went to 5 years ago, If I go again, I definitely want to stay here. The English breakfast in the morning was also delicious. It was nice that it was a 5-minute walk to the downtown area.

Great pub close to the centre of Canterbury and The Marlowe Theatre. There is a small outside terrace to the rear.

Had a great stay here. The room was very cozy, consisting of a big, comfortable bed, a television, a desk with tea, biscuits, and a mirror, and a nice bathroom with toiletries. Everything was clean, and I felt very safe as a female traveling alone. The man at the front even carried my bag up the stairs for me, which was nice. They served a great complimentary breakfast in the morning downstairs, with many options. I got the American pancakes with berry compote and it was lovely. It was a very cute place, not far from the center of town. The price was reasonable for what you got. I would happily stay again.

Have always found the staff friendly and helpful. Nicely located in Canterbury and food good. Worth a visit.

Just what the Sunday roast doctor ordered. Lovely service, location and roast lunch. Would come again!

Great pub, always every welcoming

Enjoyed a beer out the front in the sun. Great service, beer was good.

Friendly pub, warm welcome, good range of drinks even though a tied house. Bit pricey!

Cute pub, with good food and sensationally friendly staff. The room was more nostalgic than modern, not particularly large, but cozy and the breakfast was good and plentiful. And all of this at a very moderate price. There is a large parking lot right next door and it is just a 10-minute walk to the cathedral.

Go to place for pre theatre drinks when visiting the Marlowe!

Great birthday meal for my daughter’s birthday. Without exception everybody loved the food, drinks and marvelous welcoming staff. Even our dogs were made welcome with a treat each. Thank you The Millers

Lovely pub with some outside tables where you can people watch and listen to the water

Had a wonderful midweek meal tonight with family, the food was wonderful and couldn’t fault anything. Very tasty and good quality ingredients with talented chefs. The staff were very friendly polite and attentive, definitely recommend.

Smart pub great location close to the centre of town but off the main street

We stayed one night in Canterbury and had a great experience at the Millers Arms. Our room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast was fantastic, and the service was excellent. My son still refers to the Millers Arms as his favorite part of our trip to Paris, Rouen, & London.

Lovely warm pub while visiting Canterbury christmas Market. Went for the pie , there was lots of choice on the menu. Good service and overall was lovely would come again.

A delicious Sunday lunch, cosy fire and most importantly a really warm welcome. We felt looked after from entering the door. Food delicious!

Fabulous from start to finish well worth the money and only 10 for 24hrs parking opposite cheap for canterbury definitely return thank you to staff

We were simply walking by this pub at about 8pm and looking for somewhere that was still serving food as we realised it was quite late. Luckily they were still serving food here so we popped in. What a lovely place! We were so pleasantly surprised! This is a hidden, quiet place, off the beaten track. You wouldn’t go here unless walking by the place by accident or if you were specifically nearby so I feel it deserves a mention so more people visit. The decor was so lovely and warming inside, they did a lovely pint of Birra Moretti on Draught and their food was unique, well presented and all with delicious flavours. We ordered a selection of smaller plates for just £26! The price was incredible for the quality of food that we got. Definitely worth a visit if you want a nice, quiet, cosy pub with a warming feel and fantastic food. We will be visiting here again next time. Thank you! *****

Clean, quiet room. Great breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff. Real pretty spot as well, over looking the old mill ponds. 5 minutes walk from the town center and theatre. Parking over the road that they arrange payment for too. Didn't eat there night time but the food looked/smelt really good.I'd stay again if I go back to Canterbury.

Very comfortable, beds comfy, breakfast was fantastic, they have a good choice of bar drinks , great staff, large car park across the road

Amazing food, lovely friendly waiters, but rude floor manager, you would think during this pandemic everyone would be friendly and welcoming to customers but the floor manager made us very uncomfortable by her rude remarks.

The food is so good here, but just felt dangerous. It was steaming hot in the pub and still it was air tight. They have not grasped that the number one thing for preventing covid is distance and VENTILATION. There is no excuse for leaving all the windows shut when everyone in there is sweating. The waitress wasn't wearing her mask properly either. Is a shame as many of the staff are very friendly and the food is excellent but safety has to be a priority.

Made a reservation for lunch last minute and we were delighted. Excellent food and service and dog friendly. A very nice location in Canterbury too.

Fuimos a desayunar aquí, ya que el hotel en el que nos alojábamos solo ofrecía tostadas o coissant, nos obsequiaron con un picadillo muy sabroso con patatas crujientes, salchichas, tocino, morcilla y un huevo frito delicioso, el propietario y la casera son amables y felices charlar, eso es algo que me he perdido desde la pandemia.

Excelente comida y servicio para el almuerzo para 2. Teníamos una selección de platos pequeños, ¡todos deliciosos y no demasiado pequeños! Cinco por 24. No pudimos resistirnos a los postres y tomamos un delicioso brownie de chocolate con helado y un flan de mousse biscoff como un cheesecake pero vegano. El servicio fue amable y la cerveza excelente. Precio muy razonable, ya que era "salir a comer para ayudar", pero volveré a pagar felizmente el precio completo.

Aproveché la oferta de "Comer fuera para ayudar" esta noche para volver a un viejo favorito que no hemos comido en algún tiempo. Muy feliz de decir que no nos decepcionó porque la comida era absolutamente deliciosa.Nos sentimos relajados a pesar de las nuevas medidas y con la afluencia de negocios debido a la oferta, encontramos al gerente y la camarera amables y serviciales.Definitivamente volveré de nuevo.

Reservamos esto como un intento de comida en la calle desde el cierre. Soy médicamente extremadamente vulnerable, así que llamamos con anticipación para solicitar una mesa al aire libre y nos dijeron que había una reservada para nosotros. Cuando llegamos, el personal parecía desconocer la reserva y la solicitud. La casera (presumiblemente) nos dijo que nuestra solicitud no se había incluido en el libro. Dijo que otra fiesta estaba sentada en la mesa exterior tomando unas copas y que estarían allí durante mucho tiempo. Todo lo que tenía que hacer era explicar a los demás que habíamos reservado la mesa. No nos disculpemos. Nos ofreció una mesa en el interior, pero decidimos irnos.Nuestra impresión: los clientes habituales del pub son más valiosos para la dirección que los visitantes. Casi nos alegramos de no habernos quedado en lugar de ser tratados por más tiempo de una manera informal. Es posible que nos hubiéramos quedado si el personal hubiera sido más acogedor. ¿Podría haber sido un problema de raza?

Vivimos cerca de los Miller y hemos estado yendo allí con poca frecuencia durante un par de años. Nuestros familiares se quedaron en el hotel hace un par de años y quedaron muy contentos allí. Esta fue nuestra primera visita desde la pandemia y el personal no fue muy acogedor y bastante antipático. Definitivamente no visitaré allí en el corto plazo; preferiría intentar apoyar a otra empresa local. En el pasado, encontramos que el personal era más atractivo, pero esta vez ni siquiera podían sonreír.

Marnie & her staff make this a bar & restaurant worth more than one visit. There is a welcoming & friendly atmosphere that makes it a pleasure to dine out. This must be one of the best Shepherd Neame pubs in Canterbury. The Millers Arms was off our radar for many years simply because it was in an area that wasn't on our regular route. It was only by accident that we were able to rediscover this bar & restaurant and have been very pleased that we did. The Millers Arms has become one of our favourite places. The food is excellent & we've never felt rushed. The Millers Arms is situated alongside the River Stour & is in easy walking distance from the city centre. Nearby is the open space of Solly's Orchard. If you drive, there are two car parks in nearby locations.

Mostrado a nuestra mesa que estaba en una posición realmente tonta donde los dos estábamos sentados donde otros necesitaban caminar a otra área, lo que significaba que constantemente nos golpeaban o teníamos que movernos para permitirles pasar. Esperamos 20 minutos antes de que nos preguntaran qué nos gustaría pedir y luego una larga espera para nuestra comida. Dicho esto, ambos disfrutamos nuestras comidas. El menú de postres es pequeño y no muy inspirador, pero lo que tuvimos fue bueno.

Maravillosa bienvenida, Marnie que nos recibió fue muy servicial y encantadora. ¡Así que fue un gran comienzo tanto para mi amigo como para mí! Resultó que todo el personal fue realmente servicial y educado.La habitación estaba limpia, cómoda y cumplió su propósito muy bien. Muy convenientemente ubicado al centro de la ciudad, la catedral y el teatro. También tuvimos una bonita vista al otro lado del río.El desayuno era delicioso con productos bien abastecidos y cocinado a la perfección. También tuvimos un gran almuerzo allí, en general la comida era genial.Volveré a reservar aquí cuando regrese a Canterbury. ¡Altamente recomendado!

We had Sunday lunch at the Millers Arms and although the ambience was delightful, ideal to bring friends for a drink, we found the food below standard and disappointing. We will drop by once in a while for a drink but we will most likely will have already eaten. What was wrong with food? To be honest my Sunday Roast looked like it had gone cold and had been re-warmed up for me. The meat was not cut off the bone but processed slices and we wish we had gone to Wetherspoons instead. Sorry guys.

We decided to come out for dinner. Hadn't realised the kitchen closes at 5, we arrived a little before then. Brad was very polite and helpful. He checked with the kitchen if we could still order dinner, thankfully we could. The pub is very old but modern inside. Brad was efficient and didn't rush us. The food was delicious and we'll presented The pub is clean and tidy, the conservatory has lights around making the atmosphere more pleasant. Have been here before and would definatly recommend it. Until next time thank you to Brad for your excellent customer service

We walked in with no booking it was very busy. I didn’t think we would get sat down. The manager asked if he could help. Table for two please? Just one minute sir. A few minutes later he came back we are setting up a table for you. A Few minutes late the waiter came and got us. The restaurant had a lovely feel to it and the rustic decor gives it a nice feeling. We had starter and main. I had Baby scallopsSamphire, chorizo and butter bean cassoulet with crusty bread and then the rump beef steak for main. could not fault the food or service. Good wine a choice of beers etc and all at sensible prices. Absolutely lovely meal. Book early to avoid disappointment and enjoy. Definitely 4.5 * for me and I’m fussy!!

Inicialmente no nos impresionó, ya que esperamos mucho tiempo para que el personal asistiera al bar y terminamos agarrando a un miembro del personal de la cocina para que alguien nos sirviera. Sin embargo, nos quedamos a almorzar y nos alegramos de haberlo hecho, la comida era excelente.

sat outside in the sun early evening with a few drinks. Nice to find a pub with clean tables, clean chairs, and ashtrays. someone cares about this place and it shows. would like to return one day to try the food.

3 night stay in this hotel was great excellent food and service with the most friendly staff you could wish for. If you have never been to Canterbury you have not had a life.Magnificent cathedral. You must go and definitely stay at the Millers Arms

Very pleasant staff, helpful, smiling. Stayed one night during massive heatwave...not good as no bedrooms had air con...no lifts either, but no surprise in a building this age. Breakfast was excellent - full English or yogurt and fruits etc. Good value.

Como mi más cercano y querido y yo nos quedábamos en 'The Miller's Arms', parecía natural comer nuestras cenas en su restaurante. Cuando nos registramos para nuestra estancia, el personal estaba tan preocupado por la salud de mi esposa que se ofrecieron a llevar nuestras comidas a nuestra habitación. Afortunadamente, su amable oferta no fue necesaria, ya que mi esposa se había recuperado lo suficiente como para poder bajar las escaleras hasta el restaurante. Más sobre el pub y el alojamiento en otra crítica.

Just returned from overnight stay at The Millers Arms. All staff we encountered were excellent,helpful and well mannered so Thankyou Millers Arms staff. Room was acceptable...clean,warm,plenty of hot water when showering but nothing overly special. The food was really very good at evening meal and breakfast.Good quality which we appreciate and plentiful.

Recommended for a lovely meal. Not overly expensive. A lovely seating area with attentive staff, you will not be disappointed

Conveniently located between the car park and Marlowe theatre for a pre-performance lunch. Two courses each (three adults meals) with two glasses of wine and other drinks for under £60. Food was excellent too although the vegan menu a bit limited. Good value for money and tasty food. For the record Macbeth was excellent too!!

Visited here the other afternoon for a quickie pint and some lunch, must say i left extremely happy.

Delicious food with healthy choices, and served by friendly staff. We sat in the bar area where our dog was allowed to join us.

Very poor. Steak was over done chips were only warm. Pork chop was like a hard brick and dry. Potatoes tasted stale and reheated . Very unpleasant. Asked for some sauce because meal was so dry and was brought some mushrooms in gravy gradual gravy. We complained to the waitress who was lovely and apologetic who then said the manager said we could have 25 per cent off. Not once did the manager approach us to discuss and apologise and the restaurant was very quiet. Wouldn’t go there again

Booked a table for a small group of friends to eat here today for a pre Christmas Sunday roast lunch only to be told on arrival that they were not serving a roast due to the run up to Christmas?! What bright spark came up with that theory??? We were then told on the main menu, that one of the dishes was not available and there was only two left of another! I think someone somewhere hasn’t grasped the concept of parties eating out for pre Christmas get togethers... a family seated nearby also shared their disappointment. With that we left and went to a very nice neighbouring pub who were serving a roast and who couldn’t do enough for us so that our lunch was enjoyable. Shame on the decision maker at The Millers. Epic fail.

Arrived, was seated, not very busy. Slow to take drink and food order. Ordered two burgers and a chicken burger. One burger we asked not to have the mayo or avocado on top.

I visited the Millers Arms last week and it was a very pleasant experience good ales/lagers and a nice selection of dishes on the food menu I can highly recommend the wings and pie.

We called in a few times passing along the river from the b&b.; Great selection of local ales and wines. Cosy sitting areas and the food is decent priced and good quality. Would advise booking for meals as could get busy. Friendly welcoming staff and offers accommodation also.

Came in for a pint after shopping on 25 Nov. Master Brew was flat. Late Red was flat. 2 awful pints later went to The Dolphin.

Went there on Friday night with friends

Nuestros planes eran tener una cena después de la actuación matinal en el teatro local. Por eso solo buscábamos un almuerzo ligero. Los Millers Arms demostraron ser una muy buena elección.

Absolutely loved it here, the building is lovely and cosy and the food was amazing! Not too expensive considering I’m a student and I had a glass of wine, steak dinner and desert! So good I want to book it for my graduation meal!

Just happened to walk past it and it looked cozy from the outside. Not disappointed! Had the steak and ale pie with rosemary carrot mash. Was delicious!! The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return.

Mi compañero y yo visitamos Canterbury el sábado pasado y queríamos conseguir un buen almuerzo de pub para terminar el día de la ciudad. Como era sábado por la tarde, el centro estaba lleno de turistas, por lo que decidimos ir un poco más lejos para tratar de obtener un poco de paz y tranquilidad. Un vistazo rápido de Google Maps reveló The Millers Arms, a solo 5 minutos a pie del centro de la ciudad, así que nos fuimos.

He estado antes pero me senté al frente, así que realmente no me di cuenta de lo que me estaba perdiendo. Solo apareció en el camino para encontrarse con amigos. Pedí una casa blanca y obtuve 7 opciones diferentes, lo que sin duda es la primera vez que tengo una variedad tan amplia. Muy sabroso vaso de vino crujiente en un vaso limpio brillante. Me senté en el jardín trasero y me impresionó el comedor. Eché un vistazo al menú en el camino de salida y sin duda será reservar para la cena. Es una pena que tuvimos una cita en otro lugar

Fuimos a almorzar el domingo y nos sentamos en su jardín. Honestamente puedo decir que la salchicha y el puré fueron los mejores que hemos comido. El plato se sirvió con zanahorias baby al dente frescas, brócoli y guisantes dulces. El puré era increíblemente cremoso y las salchichas eran tan bueno como se ponen.

Fui a comer con 11 personas, he almorzado aquí en el pasado y esperaba ansiosamente la cena. No me decepcionó, teniendo en cuenta la cantidad de personas que todos disfrutaron de su elección y todo fue servido caliente, las camareras proporcionaron un servicio de primera clase y no queríamos nada. Muy recomendable.

Good news it that place is dog friendly. WE were surrounded, however, by 2 large groups having noisy pre-dinner drinks, so cozy atmosphere was somewhat tarnished. Then they went, and rest of meal was fine

It was a rainy day and we were seated in the Conservatory with the dog as the normal area had a party in. We were a little cold nevertheless the food was good and the service friendly. A nicely decorated pub.

We had heard good reviews from friends & colleagues about the Millers Arms and decided to give it a try. One of the major problems of eating out in Canterbury is parking. We were pleased to find a public car park within close proximity of the Millers arms. I suggested to two business colleagues that we give it a try and we were not disappointed. The menu was varied and the seating arrangments and plain wood tables were different. We all chose different meals and left the Millers Arms satisfied. The only downside was the amint of time we had to wait. However this was offset by the quality of the food and the politeness of the waiting staff.

This pub restaurant is only 5 minutes walk from our home so when we moved there 2 years ago we thought it would a great place to eat occasionally. Out of 5 attempts we have been successful twice - excuses have been they were too busy even though tables in the restaurant were available, at 8.40 pm on a Saturday evening they had stopped doing food although there was nothing to indicate what time food finished and the best one they really didn't have much left. Despite all this we decided to give the Sunday roast a go and my husband booked in advance. On arriving on time, the waitress didn't have any record of hour booking but did find us a table at the end of the restaurant that was fine. First we were told that they had run out of roast beef, this was at 2pm when they advertise roast dinners from 12 to 4, but there was pork. We were going for starters but there were only three choices, red pepper and tomato soup, red pepper and chickpea houmous or cranberry and chilli chicken wings. I can't eat peppers or spicy food so no joy there. The two roast pork dinners arrived fairly quickly but did resemble something that had been thrown together from all the leftovers. No Yorkshire pudding and when I asked for some mustard it was given to me in the same pot you buy it in, crusted round the edges and obvious used by god knows how many people. This whole experience cost £12.75 per meal plus drinks. We didn't complain or ask to see anyone as it's completely pointless. Instead we really won't go there again and will certainly tell our friends and family not to bother.

Really nice clean & welcoming place. Very friendly atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast lovely. We enjoyed our stay here.

All the food was lovely the steak was tender and good value but my skate wing was really delicious and a good size. Wine was pretty good value for a decent bottle of Aussie red, £17.25, so good in fact we had two.

On Friday (13th) We, a group of 6 visited this pub/restaurant for a lunchtime drink and it was such a pleasant experience, due in part to the manager making us feel very welcome, that we decided to reserve a table for Saturday evening. This was festival time, and as there were 9 of us in total we felt it may be difficult to get booked in elsewhere.

What a charming, friendly, cozy place. The staff was wonderful! The food was good, especially breakfast. Great location for shopping and visiting the cathedral. Would love to come back some day!

The Millers Arms has a brilliant location in Canterbury, they provided us with a reduced car parking ticket for the...

I've been to this pub a few times and had always had lovely experiences. That unfortunately changed yesterday, staff have...

Un restaurante relajado, informal y como he dicho antes muy amable - comida interesante, raciones enormes, los precios no demasiado caro. Buen servicio, un buen lugar para comer, beber y jugar

Ayer tuvimos una experiencia encantadora para una recepción de boda. Creo que fue la primera vez que se celebró una boda.

Bien fue cod básica y patatas fritas, además de guisantes salsa tártara y liquidised, pero realmente fue la mejor comida de pub que he tenido en muchos años. Pedimos a las 5. 45:00 y me abrió a las 6, y nos dijeron que volver en 15 minutos. Creo que deberían haber tomado la orden (y el dinero) y luego empezó a cocinar a las 6 de la tarde. Algunas personas han dejado en ese punto. Aparte de eso, fue muy agradable, y os recomiendo visitar, de hecho, estuvo mejor que la de los delfines en la carretera y todo el mundo va sobre su comida todo el tiempo. Fui en Navidad fue bien. . . Ir a en vez de miller!

Buena relación calidad-precio, buen servicio y excelente comida en un restaurante precioso también buen servicio del personal, también tomamos el desayuno (vegetariano), que de nuevo fue muy agradable

Dropped in just a few minutes before food service was due to finish. However the staff were extremely friendly and we're happy to serve us. The food was excellent and service marvellous. Highly recommended. The only down part was when at till to pay by card was asked if I wished to add a gratuity, I prefer to do this personally at table or quietly on the card machine....not when everyone can hear. Apart from that everything good.

Breakfasted here as part of an overnight stay. An absolute treat.Great variety, all options seen and tried were excellent. Promptly served with toast, coffee, cereal, youghurt and fruit juice included.

Almost always I go there on a night out. It is a very nice place to hang out with friends, it had nice food, nice drinks, an friendly staff. Plus, it is located right next to the river and it is really nice having a glass of wine outside during the summer.

I stayed here on business for two and a half weeks. I think that says it all really. I will stay here again both on business and pleasure. The staff are fantastic, the hotel is very comfortable and clean and the beer well kept and maybe too drinkable! The food is reasonably priced pub grub. Breakfast is very good and the poached eggs great. Thank you very much for making me feel at home whilst I was away from home. See you again.

Can for some food first but unfortunately got turned away due to the kitchen being closed. Came back for a drink at this warm bar

A party of 5 made very welcome at lunch time. Hadn't booked a table but were told if we didn't mind waiting there would be a table for us. The wait was less than 20 minutes. Great waitress looked after us, the barman very attentive. The food was very filling...soup and ciabatta, reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Day off in Canterbury for my wife's birthday, looked around for lunch and this was on a path by the river, great location. Welcoming, attentive staff, nice open fire on a cold day. Excellent beer, food ok - I went for the liver which was OK, my wife went for the salmon which in her view was delicious. Only downside for me was the place was quiet so a bit lacking in atmosphere, maybe it picks up in the summer, so maybe worth a return visit to find out!

Eggs benedict availabe and presented to perfection. Quite a wait but I suspect they were waiting on the hen.

I haven't eaten here for a while but wanting to avoid most of the places in town full of frazzled Christmas shoppers we went along.The pub was decorated for Christmas and looked good but it was lacking a bit of atmosphere.The staff were friendly and efficient and the food and drink orders were taken promptly and arrived quickly.Good 'home cooked' food and plenty of it - so much so there wasn't room for dessert.I would happily eat here again but maybe in a larger group to give more atmosphere.

We booked this pub for a meal as they allowed access to our 2 small dogs in the bar area for an evening meal. Food was good quality and the staff really attentive and friendly. Just a few minutes walk from the centre of Canterbury. Definitely would visit again.

Made a reservation for 7:30pm - gave our food order by 7:45pm - because last food orders had to be made before 8pm. By 9pm no food had arrived - therefore, we went to find the waiter and ask him where is our food??? It was then he realised that our orders ticket was not taken by the kitchen staff?!? The waiter then came back to our table to tell us it will only take 10 minutes for our food to arrive. Two eggs and ham dishes, a burger and a chicken..By 9:45pm still had no food - went to the bar and asked for the bill - the manager had the nerd to tell us that we will not get charged for our already prepared food - which we had not seen two hours later. He did not had the decency to do a discount on our drinks..This is the second time that this is happening at the same place. First time we went for breakfast - and we were left alone for 40 minutes before we had to get someone to take the order. The staff did not even know that they were serving breakfast at the place. So a piece of advice - INVEST IN CUSTOMER SERVICE - especially WHEN THESE CUSTOMERS ARE ACTUALLY LIVING NEXT DOOR TO YOUR PUB and they are your neighbours!!!!!!

I've eaten at the Miller's Arms before and as always, the ambience is welcoming and staff friendly, the one thing they cannot get right is that hot food tastes better...unlike the fire...which was blazing!

Old pub with low ceilings. Nicely laid out with plenty of room between tables. Had a lovely prawn sandwich and some onion rings which were the nicest I have tasted. Nice and crispy and not greasy. Would definately return!

We visited this pub restaurant three times on our trip to Canterbury. It was comfy throughout and the food was well priced. The service was good and the surroundings are lovely especially on a warm sunny day.

We spent a delightful lunchtime here this week. My wife had an excellent home made soup an I ate the crab cakes with a delicious home made coleslaw. They could not have been improved upon. It was a hot day and one of the parasols in the small garden area was not working but the manager and staff were so concerned to sort it out - a really attentive and delightful staff. Highly recommend and we have lived in the area for almsot 50 years!

We went here for dinner and stayed the night also. Lovely setting and delicious dinner and breakfast. For dinner we had the chicken, lamb and pork belly. For starter white bait and Guinea fowl aruncini. I forgot to take a pic of the starter but it was very generous. As were the mains. For breakfast I had the avocado & bacon on soda bread. The room we had was lovely, very clean and set out well. I would recommend The Millers to anyone who visits Canterbury.

We stayed at The Miller’s Arms for four nights and on one of them we sampled the restaurant. Although the Inn is a very good place to stay, and we would certainly go back there again the next time we are staying in Canterbury, we did find the restaurant slightly disappointing. The waiting staff is very friendly and helpful but we were not impressed with the standard of the meal. We both had steak pie, as we were informed by the menu that it was short pastry. However, although the filling with extremely tasty and plentiful, the pastry crust was not at all as I would expect a good short pastry to be. I wondered if in fact it might have been a hot water pastry, similar to a pork pie, as it certainly looked like this. If so, I suppose it would have been good, but not at all what I would expect of a steak and mushroom pie. However, I don’t think I have ever had vegetables cooked so well as they were here, just to the right degree, with just the right amount of “bite” but tender. I had treacle tart for pudding, which they willingly provided ice cream with at my request, instead of the advertised cream (which was also supplied, which was a pleasurable surprise. This was not like any treacle tart I had had before, but it was good nonetheless, and the ice cream was of excellent quality. The price was reasonable, compared to prices elsewhere. We were just slightly disappointed as mentioned, especially since the breakfasts are so good. I should, however, like to commend the staff for their unfailing cheerfulness.

Went there with a group and had an Asian style burger, which was delicious. Many of us thought we wouls be able to order fish & chips. Our group leader even phoned them in advance, telling them how many portions they should be able to prepare, but they still ran out of itl

I happened to be here for lunch. A jerk chicken wrap with sweet potato fries was remade for me into a gluten-free sandwich and side salad. It was fantastic! I will definitely eat here again!

The restaurant looks nice as did the menu & the staff were warm and friendly. However the food was abysmal at best. For starters:* The Stilton tart was pretty much a chutney tart with the faintest flavouring of Stilton. * The whitebait was soggy with no batter?!Mains:* 3 of us had the sausages with bubble & squeek. I think these sausages were the cruddiest sausages they could buy... possibly Walls sausages altho I'm not sure they were even that good. The bubble & squeek was lumpy & flavourless.* We also ordered the gnocchi which was a sloppy meal with hard lumps of gnocchi all stuck together - we sent this back it was so bad.Following our "meal" we went to La Trappiste which was excellent. Totally begrudge paying for such a disappointing experience.

Went for a Saturday afternoon meal with family who live in Canterbury. I couldn't fault the staff who were very friendly and attentive, but the food was rather disappointing. I didn't feel it lived up to the descriptions on the menu at all.My marinated mackerel on "artisan bread" came out on the same brioche buns the burgers did. The fennel "slaw" didn't taste of fennel and the wassabe mayonnaise was undetectable.The burgers were not that special at near £14, and the sweet potato fries were a little odd.It was a clean friendly pub but I think it is trying too hard to be up market. At over £70 for four people I expected more.

Unbelievably for the city centre of Canterbury, this pub has a slightly rustic feel brought on by the quiet streets and grassy canal area outside. Unfortunately, this does not work in the pub's favour, being more a kind of "outsiders not wanted" rustic atmosphere instead of my preferred "lovely countryside pub" variety. The barman did not seem to know his ales particularly well, and listed the wrong prices when we first asked which caused havoc when we then came to pay for the drinks we had already started. When asking for the toilets, he also directed us in the wrong direction at first.Despite it getting towards dinner time by this point, the pub was eerily quiet. My friend and I were the only ones in aside from the barman's friends for the majority of our time there. The seating was comfortable enough, but we had experienced better around the city earlier that very day. The walls seemed to need redecorating whilst we were there, with a slightly mouldy feel to the wooden boards. My ale was nice enough, but overall the experience in this pub was not fantastic.

I wanted to celebrate my Birthday (same as the Queen 21 April) but chose to go to the Millers Arms on a Friday 22nd evening. We had been for lunch previously and it was superb. Last night we had 6 noisy students such that I could not hear my wife opposite. I turned round and told them to keep the noise down. They did. I ordered the 10 oz Sirloin and my wife just had the Spitfire Bangers and mash. We both had a single large glass of wine (Montepulciano and Pinot Grigio). There was not a lot of waiter service as my wife had to go to the bar to order food and I had to go later to order some drinks! At the end of the meal another customer came up to me to remonstrate about me asking the students to lower their voices. Unbelievable. I really do not think a Friday nite for dining is a good one for what I think is a GREAT pub! Sorry.

Had a very Pleasant lazy lunch hereFood simple but tasty , staff very attentive ....... Reasonably priced and good wine .

We had a disappointing evening meal at the Millers 2 weeks ago but I didn't review then because our previous recent experience there had been good; we hoped problems with training new kitchen staff etc. would be sorted before our next booking - lunch on Easter Sunday. However, that proved to be another disappointment, the roast lamb being plentiful but fatty and chewy. On the other hand the chicken breast (non-roast) dish, which (by contrast) was "freshly prepared," looked and, I suspect, tasted good. Unfortunately, there were only 3 desserts on the menu but some time after we had ordered, we were informed that the open apple pie that two of us had ordered was not available. The excuse offered was that they were having to use up their existing stocks before ordering in more food, but a choice of only 2 desserts on Easter Sunday is really not acceptable. We went elsewhere for coffee and dessert. Interestingly, on a day when we expected to see the restaurant full, it was nowhere near as busy as we had seen it on two previous Sundays when we had enjoyed lunch, so perhaps others have had the same disappointments as we ourselves. We really would like to make the Miller's our local - there is a good friendly atmosphere and it's a pleasant place for a drink - so we hope very much that the management can address and resolve the current issues with the restaurant.

Recently refurbished I have never been to The Millers Arms before as it looked dowdy from the outside but my wife wanted a change of venue for Saturday lunch. We were not disappointed. The service, food, atmosphere was excellent. We only had starters: soup of the day (butternut squash) and my wife the Spitfire Ale sausages but as I was driving I stuck with lime and lemon while my wife had an excellent glass of Pinot Grigio. My wife is organising a new book club and they will meet in the pub (first meeting 14 March). Great place and I fully recommend it.

Several visits in the last couple of years, always enjoyable, food reliable, setting cheerful. Shepherd Neame beers
